"Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light– angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil." A feminine voice narrated as a beautiful city sprung into view.

A figure with enchanting wings and a bright smile formed, flying joyfully around this vast world, creating bright bursts of light wherever he went. "Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer, with fantastical ideas for all of creation, but he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of the world." Intimidating images loomed overhead of the angel, making him collapse and deflate under their gaze.

"So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of earth they created Adam and Lilith– equals as the first of mankind." The figures of the first man and woman grew into view, each one seemingly in awe of their surroundings.

"But despite this, Adam commanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the garden– drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love." Lilith's form raced away from Adam, eventually finding Lucifer in the process and taking his hand.

"Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the fruit of knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted." The two lovers returned to the garden, with Lucifer handing a shiny red apple to Eve, who took it with a smile.

"But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience evil finally found its way into earth – with it, a new realm of darkness and sin– and the order heaven had worked to maintain was shattered." A dark force wraps itself around the world, cracking it in two as the angels recoil away in fear.

"As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven casted Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity– only the cruel and the wicked." Lucifer sadly looked down at the spark in his hands as it burnt out, losing its once joyous and hopeful glow.

"Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream. But Lilith thrived, empowering demon kind with her voice and her songs, and as the numbers of Hell grew so did its power." Lilith, now having grown large horns, hovered over the now growing plains of hell, her music spreading throughout the land.

"Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision– that every year, they would send down an army– an extermination— to ensure hell would never rise against them." Exorcist angels rained down into hell, leaving a sea of carnage and destruction in their wake.

"But Lilith's hope remained, and her dream was passed down to her precious daughters– the princesses of hell."
