The day he fell

It was a sunny day, birds were chirping in the valley fragrant with colours bloomed. I was sitting comfortably under the shade of a tall apple tree, a slight breeze grazing the soft smile on my face. I looked up trying to find the canary with the sweet voice when I noticed something falling from the sky.
The view was almost angelic, a ray of light following its path. Naturally, I was drawn to take a closer look as I moved closer, I noticed the magnificent creature with wings but features of a man. I was lost in his grace when the loud thud of him hitting the ground startled me. I quickly paced towards his unconscious body, my heart sank.
He was the most beautiful being I have ever laid my eyes on, with grace and a heavenly glow eradiating from him despite his state of consciousness. He must be divine, I thought to myself.

My body ached a pain I have never experienced thus far. As I slowly opened my eyes, I noticed an angelic woman lay beside me. She looked sweet, innocent and naïve. I tried not to wake her, but my grunts didn’t allow me to do so. Being her caring self, she tried to heal the wound of my clipped wings with a herbal paste. Little did she know that this was a constant reminder from my father.
All this pain required a distraction, thus began my interrogation. Lily was all alone in this little place she called home. She would be perfect, I thought.
My plan was getting stronger, as I started gaining her trust by spending every waking second being by her side. Humans are so naïve I chuckled to myself.

His naughty charm has this way of making my stomach feel queasy with butterflies. ‘ Why am I so attracted to you Morningstar?’ I asked, with a huge grin, he just said ‘Because, I am well, me!’.
I asked him of his past, as he recalled his shocking story, I took a bite of my juicy red apple. It all sounded like a fantasy written in an ancient fable.
A fantasy that I desperately longed to be a part of. Day by day, I grew possessive of him, wanting to be a character in all his ambitions and dreams. After all, who could not fall for a handsome God to be king?
Should I worship him? Should I keep him to myself? or should I convey his thoughtful preaching to the beings of the world?. I felt submissive around him and his persuasive speech. And once again, I got lost in his dreamy sky blue eyes.
-
‘To begin my meticulous plan of ruling the cosmos one dark soul at a time, my darling, I need you by my side. You are my first caretaker, friend, lover and worshiper. Join me and let your name be known as the first written soul to the dark lord’. I said to her, wondering if she would agree to my little experiment.
As I looked at her glassy-eyed, I noticed she was hesitant but her affection pierced through. She stepped forward and kneeled before me, accepting my preaching and her role to the ledger.

My queen, my Lilith. She turned out to be the perfect specimen. Oh, father, you underestimate what is going to hit you.

Little did they know, all apples are cursed.
