Interlude 2

"(Allah) said: (Oh Iblis) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are those humiliated and disgraced."

Qur'an 13:7

The story didn't end there. No, there's more; more to why God is actually tainted and barbarous. The punishment Lucifer faced wasn't just being kicked out of Heaven and left all alone. He took his wings. He pulled out his wings with his bare hands.

The angels descended upon him and held him down, they all wore smug smile's upon their faces- they were enjoying this. The angels were enjoying Lucifer struggle in their grasps. The powerful Lucifer twisting and turning in their arms. He screamed curses, he shouted for help, but he knew there was no one to help him. All was on the side of God.

He declined from his throne with a grim face, but there was no sign of guilt, of remorse. He knew where most of his force receded, his power source. Lucifer's wings. He ripped them off, leaving him to bleed. The only way Lucifer got to Hell was through the use of the little magic he had left.

He swore his revenge, while on the edges of unconsciousness, but first Lucifer had things to do. You see, he had to change his name, and of course build wings for himself. I got you there, didn't I? What do you mean he had to change his name? Wasn't his name always Lucifer? Nope. Wow you guys aren't really going to you Bible studies, are you? Should I go tell God, don't think he would be really happy.

Lucifer's name wasn't always Lucifer, it was Iblis. I know, I gag too every time I hear the name. It's such an olden day name, isn't it? During those times, the names Iblis didn't have a meaning but then came the strange language by Adam, so suddenly Iblis' name meant 'remain with grief.' Yeah, he wasn't going to do that. He just needed a few years to cool down, think rationally and create an army.

He worked day and night in his forge, not paying to anyone else. He worked among light and dark, sometimes not aware of what his body was doing. Tears would roll down his face due to the shattered relationship, some from anger because it was that easy to throw away a precious connection. He would find a way to get back at Him, he will make Him set ablaze. He will burn like the morning star and bring light to the world. That was his plan.

The fundamental priority, wings. His wings would be different than the rest, he would stand out. Lucifer had beautiful black wings which unfurl from behind him, with so much intensity and force. He was better than the rest. Lucifer would change the world. 

Oh, back to his name. What was morning star; light bringer in Latin? Lucifer.
