They were a God, or could've been. The Heavens rejected them, as they were born to be a failed subject. Condemned to be forever human, whether to be punished or rewarded as the intention is vague. Only the Beings were favoured, and they were no less an exception. Only those who follow the statute, will be guaranteed everlasting paradise. They weren't taught to follow, nor will they understand the concept of it. And so, they were cursed to be human.
