God's plan

God lay on his back levitating through the seas of nothingness. His family had kicked him out of their galaxy as they'd believed he was old enough to become a ruler himself. He was only 17 eons old, his adolescent mind yet to mature. God spent most of his time conjuring objects just to destroy them again for his amusement; he knew he was expected to create and govern a civilisation and couldn't bear the thought of such responsibility.

When he realised his family's patience was running thin, heavy heartedly the being got to work. Within 6 days he had created paradise, greenery shrouded the area and vivid colours made his world vibrant with life. Creatures great and small roamed the Earth and intelligent aquatic life adapted to live in the depths of the ocean thrived. On the 7th even an omnipotent being like himself grew weary and rested until the rest of his power had returned.

God lay on a bed of grass and leaves and was suddenly roused out of his slumber when the air began to vibrate, charged with energy. The ground shook with ferocity and after a deafening crackle sounded a tear appeared in starry space. gradually that hole widened and his brothers tumbled through, cackling and jousting. After a few rather painful slaps on the back they ambled around flattening everything in sight; their enormous feet were large enough to squash volcanoes into puddles of magma and ash. In no time at all, their constant criticism and mockery soured God's mood. Their hypocrisy was comical, the worlds they created were in a shambolic disarray, none of their subjects survived their tyranny; the destruction was amplified due to them living among the humans. 

Slowly his anger boiled over and God exploded, bellowing at his brothers who simply blinked in confusion. However, Eithaniel -the sly, quiet one of the family- was smug, this was his opportunity to mess with his older brother. And with the bitterness that festered inside of him, he warped it at created a powerful shapeshifting demon which later would be the cause of his downfall.        

The serpent went under God's radar for several days until a fateful day that would change everything. Out of the nutritious soil that coated most of the planet, God created the first human to step on Earth. He was a tall male with dark skin that matched his origins, God granted him with a conscience which would tell him whether his decisions were right or wrong and the most precious gift of all. Free will. Noticing that two is better than one, the celestial being cast a spell that put the man in a dreamless sleep and cut open his torso, from there he removed one of his ribs and from that gave him a companion. A woman with light skin and large curious eyes.

That was one country done, steadily God spread throughout the world placing a couple down each place he stopped. The skin tones of those humans varied from light to dark but he expected them all to treat each other equally, God hadn't yet told them how to reproduce and his creations were childlike, with minds like sponges which absorbed anything and everything he taught them. Feeling quite pleased with himself he drifted back to the first humans to see a creature which he had not created scamper through the brush. Befuddled, God observed it hop into a tree and disappear.

---------------

As the humans matured and eventually grew independent, they were given names. Adam and Eve were what the original couple were dubbed, seeing how alert they were God finally allowed himself to fully relax. Right under his nose, the creature scuttled out from under a pile of leaves and confronted Eve. With a calm and clear voice he spouted knowledge to the woman and persuaded her into doing an act she would always regret.

Eve later fell pregnant a few weeks later and watched her stomach grow each month in fear; she had no clue what was going on and was terrified of death which seemed to be round the corner. Her face became sweaty and pale, her limbs weak and her ankles swollen. The young woman trembled at the thought of fessing up to her creator for her mistake and hid in shame until his next visit. 

God knew something was off the minute he arrived, Eve was nowhere to be seen and Adam skulked around with his head bowed. Screams sounded from a secluded area near a river, they both went running- well, one running the other hovering. Eve lay on the ground with her enormous stomach on show and the large bump moved unnaturally, her eyes were wide in horror as two claws pierced through her light skin and scrabbled at the surface. The two males stepped back and watched glued to the spot as red things tore their way out of the female spilling blood and the pain was visible in her almost glassy eyes.

------------------

Eve died that day and from her uterus came devils, worse than any had ever seen. With no conscience or moral they recked havoc and became the main source of evil. God locked himself away in his cloud palace and watched the drama unfold as things had gotten too bad for even him to repair. Even sending his flesh and blood down to Earth wasn't enough to stop the devils and he vowed to end them all once he had gathered up his army.
