( curious )

The moment?

( vanessa, you didn't fuck god did you? )

[transgressings]

The moment I asked to be taken from this world. To spare my own the possibility of unspeakable torment.

[ the reality is not quite so sordid, lilith. ]

[sathan]

( she's not sure if she'd prefer the sordid or what she assumes vanessa means )

Your death? As a freedom from Lucifer?

( and how she couldn't blame her )

[transgressings]

His brother. But yes. An act of mercy, requested from someone dear.

And then I awoke here.

[sathan]

( give her a moment, she's processing. angrily. maybe drinking when she's calmer )

I'm sorry. It isn't a course you deserved.

[transgressings]

To spare the world, it was necessary.

And my existence had been a very painful one.

[sathan]

It need not have been.
Was there truly no other solution?

[transgressings]

The fate of everyone under his control had already been prophesied. If no one had put a stop to it, the consequences would have been complete destruction.

I have already accepted this outcome, whenever I am intended to return.

[sathan]

May I ask what the prophecy said?

[transgressings]

"And then all light will end and the world will live in darkness. The very air will be pestilence to mankind. And our brethren, the Night Creatures, will emerge and feed."

There are places where the text differs, but the core meaning of it is the same. Eternal night. A world ravaged by terrible evil. And I would have been the gateway to their devastation.

[sathan]

( heaven, and this wasn't even lucifer )

A far cry from Hell on Earth.

( as typical prophecies about the end of days said )

Which brother was this?

( she's thinking angelic )

[transgressings]

No, that is exactly what he intended.

[ not lucifer. ]

Another fallen angel, cast to Earth rather than Hell as his brother was. A demon of the flesh who had his designs set on reclaiming Heaven by force, with me as his conduit.

[sathan]

It seems this prophecy is unique to your home. No other suffered Lucifer's fate.

[transgressings]

Then that is no small mercy.
