The Key of Darkness (8)

 

---Chapter Eight---

Queen of Hell and King of Heaven

It was a dark night. Cordelia Solisticashire was screaming into the darkness. The darkness was solid. The woman rose from the ground, rubbed the blood from her hand on her own forehead, trembled, and shouted, "Lilith, the Queen of Hell, wife of Samuel and the first human witch of the world. Lilith, come to me inside the circle! Come with a black horse of Hell. Lucifer, the fallen one of fallen, the fallen archangel, I call you. I call your holy name with a purpose. Come with Lilith, your sister."

Once upon a time, Lilith married Adam. But Adam did not believe in equality. Lilith said, "We are created from the same soil. We are the same, Adam." But Adam did not listen and fell in love with Asmedeus. This was a sin because they were two men. The important thing was that Adam was married to Lilith. Lilith learned about this and became a desperate, poor soul. She shouted to all the angels, "I divorce Adam. I will not live there anymore. Curse you, you, you will never see the sunlight again."

She stole Samuel's wings and flew from Heaven to Earth. The wings were Samuel's, and she went to him. One day, she woke up, and she found herself lying in another and stranger bed. At her side was the handsome devil.

Adam prayed to God, "God, please, please, I loved my wife. Please, bring her back to me."

Gabriel flew from Heaven and went to Lilith. He asked her to come back to Adam. But Lilith said no. She found real love in Samuel. Gabriel shouted, "You will never be a mother. Every son and daughter will die when they are newborn because of you. I hope Samuel will be angry with you, and you must come back to Adam."

When Gabriel left the castle of Samuel, Samuel manifested himself by Lilith's side and hugged her. "You believe me, Lilith. I will not leave you. I swear by you and my gorgeous wings. I will fight them, and they will never be relaxed or be masters. You will be the queen of everything in my life. I promise you."

God could not stand Adam's prayer. One day, after six days of creating Adam, God created Eve. Eve looked like Lilith. Actually, Eve was the same as Lilith, except for two things: loyalty and belief in equality. God said, "You will believe in them, and you will reference them."

Lucifer loved Lilith like a sister. Lucifer was an archangel at that time. He and his six siblings were loved by other angels. But Lucifer was very proud, and he did not accept to be referenced. The seven siblings shouted, "We will never reference them, especially not Adam. Eve is not Lilith, and Adam is a bad man."

God got mad, and he said, "Get out of Heaven and never come back."

The seven fallen angels found Lilith, who was desperately pregnant. Leviathan spoke with her, and she cried all night. One night, Lilith gave birth to her children, but the kids were dead. A silent, painfully screaming... When Samuel heard this scream, he fell into the darkest depression and became upset. Lilith talked with Leviathan. "Please, brother, you will avenge for me. Please, Adam and Eve will not be happy. And their child, grandchild. I swear they will be born from solid and never be happy and lucky."

Leviathan accepted Lilith's words. He turned into a snake and went to Heaven. Whispering to Eve, he said, "Eat this apple. This is not an ordinary apple; it is forbidden." As soon as Eve took a bite, Leviathan turned back into his true form and started screaming at God, "Eve has eaten the forbidden fruit! This is an enormous sin, and they must be punished."

God heard Leviathan's plea and punished both Adam and Eve. When they were born into the world, Lilith chased after them. She was determined to become the queen of Hell.

One day, some gods visited Lilith's castle. Khepri, the god of sunrise and the greatest warrior in Egyptian mythology, spoke to her. "Humans are not accepting us, and their patriots are fighting. We are in danger. Help us. Toth, my brother, is ill because he does not fight. He is a philosopher, not a soldier."

Samuel and Lilith accepted the gods, using their darkness and bloodiest hearts. They called themselves demons, which means "holy ones." Samuel declared, "They are my sons. Amon, Seth, Osiris, Toth, Kimaris, and many more are my heirs!"

Hell always fights against Heaven. Good fights against bad. Demons fight against angels, but Heaven is not always good, and Hell is not always bad.

Witches always pray to their gods. They never feel like they belong in this world. Cordelia of Solisticashire was one of these witches. She was a strong one, and her son, Samuel, was sacrificed, but he never learned that.
