With a thunderous crash, Lucifer's broken form collided with the unforgiving earth below, the impact sending shockwaves of pain reverberating through his shattered body. He lay sprawled upon the ground, his once majestic wings now gone, the source of his agony and despair.

Blood seeped from his wounds, staining the earth with gold as his heart screamed with the weight of his loss. Everything he had ever known, everything he had ever cherished, was now lost to him, cast aside in the wake of his betrayal and expulsion from Heaven.

Broken and bleeding, Lucifer's soul echoed with the echoes of his sorrow, a haunting lament for all that he had sacrificed and all that he had lost. In that moment of darkness and despair, he realized the true cost of his defiance, and the depths of his solitude stretched out before him like an endless abyss.

Tears streamed down Lucifer's face as he screamed his anguish into the void, his cries of despair echoing across the desolate landscape. With a primal roar of frustration, he pounded the unforgiving earth with one hand, his knuckles raw and bloodied from the violence of his despair.

His other hand pressed futilely against his back, trying to staunch the flow of blood from the gaping wounds where his wings had once been. But they were gone, torn from him in a cruel act of betrayal, leaving him broken and alone in a world that had cast him aside.

"Fuck!.. Shit! Fuck.. FUCK!" he screamed, his voice hoarse with agony and rage. Each expletive was a desperate plea for release from the torment of his existence, a primal howl of defiance against the injustice of his fate.

But there was no solace to be found in his words, no reprieve from the pain that consumed him. In that moment of raw emotion.

Lucifer was laying there, consumed by his grief and anguish, when a sound pierced the air, drawing his attention skyward. And then, like a cruel mockery of his suffering, his sword descended from the heavens, plummeting towards him with a sickening thud.

It struck the ground before him, embedding itself in the earth with a finality that echoed the depths of his despair. Covered in his blood, a grim reminder of the agony he had endured, the sword seemed to taunt him, mocking his weakness and his pain.

For a moment, Lucifer stared at the sword, his gaze filled with bitterness and resignation. Once his most prized possession, it was now a testament to the shattered remnants of his former glory.

With a bitter laugh that was more a sob, Lucifer reached out a trembling hand, grasping the hilt of the sword with a mixture of defiance and despair. It was a cruel irony.

And as he layed there, clutching the bloodstained sword in his hand, Lucifer knew that he was truly alone, cast out from the heavens and condemned to wander the earth for all eternity, a fallen angel forever bound by the chains of his own remorse.

In the tranquil beauty of Eden, amidst the lush foliage and fragrant blooms, the serene atmosphere was shattered by the arrival of the Seraphim. With solemn expressions and unwavering purpose, they approached Adam and Eve, their presence a harbinger of impending doom.

"Adam, Eve," one of the Seraphim spoke, their voice carrying the weight of divine judgment. "You have been found guilty of transgressions against the divine will. As punishment for Eve's sins, you are to be cast out of the garden, banished from this paradise forevermore."

Adam and Eve stood frozen, disbelief etched upon their faces as the gravity of their fate sank in. Tears welled in Eve's eyes as she realized the full extent of her actions, the weight of her guilt heavy upon her soul. And Adam, his heart heavy with regret, could only watch helplessly as their world crumbled around them.
