way! I want it done.
Lilith becomes more aggressive. Pokes her finger harder into Spirit’s middle.
LILITH (continuing) I want it done today, I want it done now.
Spirit uses his energy to push Lilith’s hands away. His light-form softens to become a soothing yellow.
METATRON Tell me darling, what happened? Why have your countenance fallen?
LILITH I was watching Adam and Eve swim in the ocean, and during the event, Eve physically collapsed in the middle of the sea. Adam had to pull her out. And I sense that perhaps this inequality comes from this soul element that Spirit had bestowed upon them during creation. And now, I want him to fix it.
SPIRIT Lilith, I don’t know how it happened. And, I’m not sure on how to even fix it, not unless we remake them both, and I could try again.
LILITH Well, this cannot be. We have to make Adam and Eve equal.
METATRON Do as you please, but I prefer my creation just the way it is. Adam must not be touched.
Lilith scornfully, turns on her heel.
LILITH Fine!
Lilith sought other ways to make Eve equal to Adam for eons, but thousands, and thousands of years passed, seemingly in peace, and harmony, without the wrong ever being righted. Beneath the surface of heaven’s tranquility, Lilith was fuming at Metatron and Spirit.
EXT. GARDEN OF EDEN – AFTERNOON
The garden of Eden is as beautiful as ever, and Adam and Eve enjoy a shower beneath a waterfall. Metatron and Spirit look on, smiling at the animals. Lilith sits on a rock a few feet away from Metatron and Spirit, and she scowls at the pair. Then she looks at Adam and Eve, and her scowl deepens.
LILITH (To herself) They ought to be equal.
She teleport herself to heaven in an abrupt manner.
SPIRIT What’s with her?
METATRON I do not know.
EXT. HEAVEN - DAY
Lilith appears in heaven in a blink of an eye. Angels are lounging about peacefully, performing their routine functions. She storms by them, looking very determined, seeking only one seraph, Lucifer.
LILITH (charmingly) There you are.
Lucifer whirls around suddenly to see behind him Lilith in a lavish garb, its utter cloth of gold draping her divine form. Lucifer is awestruck.
LUCIFER My liege. To what do I owe this pleasure?
The flamboyant seraph has adored Lilith from afar. Lilith knew that she; the ultimate seductress, the exemplar of sheer beauty, the keeper of feminine whiles could easily persuade Lucifer to assist in her plans.
LILITH I’ve been looking all over for you.
LUCIFER I’m yours, to command.
Lilith advances with a luscious, curling smile. She spreads her arms, moving ever closer toward Lucifer.
LILITH Ah, Lucifer, the noble of ages.
Lilith turns toward him while fondling his feathers.
LILITH (continuing) My most impressive seraph.
She trails her index finger up to his biceps, and flirts with body language.
LILITH (continuing) After Metatron fashioned you, it was I who made you as you are… aspiring, bold, and clever. Every fiber of your being is my design.
She moves even closer to him, and whispers softly in his ears.
LILITH (whispering) I’m aware of your most intimate desires Lucifer, and I’m here to make them come true.
Lucifer hangs on her every word. There is such a divine influence in Lilith's voice. Everything around her seems to hum, and quiver with her breath when she speaks.
LILITH (continuing) Follow me.
LUCIFER As you wish.
Lucifer broadly smiles, and follows her. The pair freely wanders throughout the universe, from the sun to the moon, and to the stars, until they arrive on earth.
EXT. EARTH - NIGHT
Bio-luminescence is everywhere. Loops of bluish, greenish lights, like water ripples on a pond, expanding outward from their footsteps. The long tendrils hang down like aligned hair, as they glow faintly. Lilith runs her fingers through the tendrils as she walks on by. She holds up her hands, and speaks softly to nature. The tendrils tilted as if in a soft breeze, and seem to be caressing her in return. Lucifer puts out his hands, and the tendrils play over his fingers, his forearms, his wings.
LUCIFER Where are you taking me?
LILITH To Eden.
LUCIFER To where?
LILITH To the Garden of Eden.
LUCIFER What’s there?
LILITH Paradise.
EXT. EARTH - EDEN - NIGHT
Lilith and Lucifer stroll around in Eden. They cross over an immense bed of faintly glowing moss, which reacts to the pressure of their footsteps. A large woodpecker flies through the trees above them. There are other things wafting through the high branches, small points of light like fireflies.
LILITH I know there is a part of you that craves to have the universe at your feet. I’ve come to give it to you.
Lilith moves closer toward Lucifer, wrapping her arms around him, she braces him, and licks his face. Lilith continues fawning over him.
LILITH (continuing) Forget about everything else. We will rule over the universe together.
Lucifer looks straight at Lilith, his face flushed.
LUCIFER (breathless) Anything you want my liege.
Lilith further enlightens Lucifer on the making of the heavens, the earth, and mankind.
LILITH When Spirit gave humanity its soul, the first strong gust was given to Adam, and Eve got the lesser whiff. Consequently, Adam has become more dominant.
Lucifer listens attentively as Lilith explains to him her woes.
LILITH (continuing) Equality is the soul of liberty. There is in fact, no liberty without it. I seek your assistance in liken Eve with Adam.
LUCIFER What would you have me do my liege?
Lilith places her hand on Lucifer's chest, and he temporarily becomes human-like. He puts his face closer to hers. She gently rubs her cheek against his.
CLOSE UP: Show Lilith fawning over him, and the two plotting.
VOICE OVER: And so, Lilith and Lucifer plotted revenge on Metatron and Spirit, a revenge that would allow her to equalize Adam and Eve, and for Lucifer to become master of the universe.
EXT. HEAVEN - DAY
Lucifer arrives in heaven. All is radiant and wonderful, angels, and cherubim lounge about peacefully. No one suspects him of any wrongdoing.
ANGEL#1 Hail! Morning-star.
ANGEL#2 Light-bringer.
LUCIFER Hallelujah! Praise Him.
Lucifer lifting up his hands, he blesses them, and continues on his way.
INT. HEAVEN – DAY
In a remote place in heaven he summons Beelzebub, Vassago, and Astaroth.
BEELZEBUB Hey, Light-bringer, what is this all about?
Astaroth out of boredom keeps shape-shifting into different forms. Suddenly, he turns into a giant panda.
ASTAROTH Yeah! Lu- what’s the big idea?
Lucifer looks at each of them individually. Astaroth reverts to his angelic form.
LUCIFER Beelzebub, what is the purpose of your existence?
Beelzebub looks at Lucifer dubiously, wondering to herself why he is asking questions, which he already knows the answers to. Nonetheless, she answers him.
BEELZEBUB I am a cherub, the guardian of the fixed stars, keeper of celestial records, and bestower of knowledge. All knowledge.
Beelzebub flails, and shuffles her wings.
BEELZEBUB (continuing) I know that seraphim, are responsible for maintaining, and the presence of light within the physical realms.
Beelzebub then turns toward Vassago.
BEELZEBUB (continuing) Vassago here is the keeper of higher, more expanded energies. His responsibility is to ensure that these energies maintain the connections that continuously flow throughout these realms.
Astaroth mid-transforming into a creature.
ASTAROTH And, I am an eight-hundred pound Gorilla.
<
br /> Astaroth turns into a Gorilla.
ASTAROTH (continuing) Lucifer go-on with it. Why are we here?
LUCIFER As you may have already gathered nearly all beings created partakes a defined function, a purpose, with the exclusion of one; mankind.
ASTAROTH Go on.
LUCIFER Adam and Eve all they have ever done since their making is lounging in paradise. What is their purpose? What is their function, are we not all created equal? Nine choirs of angels have been established, and for what?
Lucifer awaits a response from any of them, but none was forthcoming.
LUCIFER (continuing) I'll tell you why. It’s because we have been ordained into bondage, an eternity in servitude.
VASSAGO (shouts) Blasphemy!
LUCIFER (shouts back) It’s the truth. We exist merely to be vassals, and nothing more. Why have the humans given souls, and not we? Are we not worthy? Are we lesser beings?
Lucifer stops talking and recomposes himself.
LUCIFER (continuing) My fellow angels, I am pleading for your support, in the struggle to attain our freewill. Nothing is more precious than to be able to decide for ourselves the course of our own destiny.
A great silence is in the room for a moment.
BEELZEBUB I cast my lot with Lucifer. The universe is indeed in disequilibrium.
ASTAROTH What say you Vassago?
VASSAGO Those
