backstoryfor Lilith- antagonist for nanoWrimo |
| In the beginning there was Eden, it was filled with all sorts of flora and fauna. Any type you could imagine and some you simply cannot. They were many animals and plants available in this Garden. In the center of the garden were two trees. These two trees were much different from any other plants in the garden, For they seemed to grow in over night, and bare fruit quicker than anything else in the garden. The fruit which was a golden color never passed it always stay ripe even if the fruit dropped from the tree . God walked through this paradise he had created. He marveled at its beauty he had created. It was good. But, in the midst of all this beauty, he felt that this place was missing something, so God created man and woman in his image, out of the dust of the Earth, and into their nostrils He blew the breath of life. Suddenly the creations came alive. Their minds were not yet filled with any sort of knowledge, so he had to gift them knowledge in which to live. The male one identified himself as ‘Adam’, and the woman had identified her self with the name ‘Lilith’. The two of them lived in harmony with the garden for many years. They ate opf the plants and animals in the garden, except the two at the center of it. As according to Him who created them they were forbidden from eating from either one of the trees. He had placed angels as guards to the lawn where they grew , to protect them from accidentally being eaten. Adam and Lilith had became good friends with the angels in the garden, even the two guarding the trees in the very center of the garden. They two of them never attempted to gain access to where the trees were. They continued like this for several years, never wanting for anything. As anything they wanted was given unto them. Then one day adam had informed Lilith that he was going to gather food from the garden for them. Lilith approved and went to the place for bathing to clean up for the day. While she was doing so she was approached by a creature she had never seen before, at least not here. it was a brilliantly colored snake. “Lilith!’ A voice called to her. When Lilith heard its warm soft voice she thought it was another angel,” yes?” “Why are you so subservient to Adam?” the voice asked. “Well, God says he is my husband, and said I should be.” “You do not have to be,” the voice continued,” you can be your own person and either equal or better than Adam ever thought you were.” “I can?” she asked. “Yes. All you have to do is show him, and if he fights with you about it or gets upset at you, that means he knows that you can and wants to maintain control over you. “ the voice instructed her. As Adam got back, from gathering some food. He was excited to show her what he had gathered as it was a larger amount than he had before, Lilith was waiting for him. “I am hungry,” He said,” go ahead make me some food.” “Make it yourself?” she said in a casual tone,” I have things I need to do.” Adam was surprised, and shocked at the answer she gave him. “I said me some food!” Adam repeated his order again, “You are to support me in every way. God says so.” The in Lilith’s mind the voice came back and she thought about what he had said. “I will not!” she said as she approached him and stared deeply into his eyes as she pushed the food off of the rock he put it on for her. “You will,” Adam demanded as he pushed her backwards, she tripped and fell backwards, onto a rock be hind her. “I’m sorry.” Adam said when he saw that he had hurt her, but now her rage was enflamed and she was angry, and she had vengeful ideas in her heart. “Don’t worry, Adam,” she thought,” I’ll remember this.” Lilith had no idea what to do at this point, so she started to prepare the food as he said to. “You see?” the voice came to her again,” He knows you can do it . So does God, that is why he made him the way he is, for dominion over you.” As the weeks passed the rift between them grew wider and wider, until it could no longer be breached. Adam could no longer control her, and went to God over it. He explained what had happened to Him, and how upset both of them were. He agreed with Adam, as to what he said, and told him that he would handle her. When he approached her about it, that voice was never spoken of between the two of them. Basically Lilith got the riot act read to her, which infuriated her. She broke out into a rage, and she spoke the word the voice told her to speak when God approached her about it. An argument of cosmic proportions started, neither side was giving in to the other. Lilith finally had enough and reach for the last straw she had. She uttered a single word, a name, the true name of the one true God. After the name was uttered all of heaven grew silent. Then a peal of thunder could be heard approaching in the distance. When it arrived it shook the very ground they stood upon. What Lilith didn’t know was that by speaking that name , and announcing to the word the true name of God, she became a curse upon this world, instantly. |
