[mekachu04]

The one called Adam named him 'Serpant'

Apparetnly, there where other crawly lithey things like him here in the garden, though much smaller and much dumber. Adam called the smaller one's Snakes. Some had stuppy little legs, and got called Lizard or Newt or Slamander. Adam had all kinds of names for them. Eve knodded along to them all, and crawly could not help the first time he address him, 'serpant' she said, voice kind and sincer and he preened and ragesd under her voice in eual messure, 'what a magestic thing you are' she told him, running a warm hand along his head.

he should bite her for that. make some trouble afterall. but he wasnted her to to talk to him again, bitter at how muhc he craved that soft caring tone.

He'd only been spoken to by the Almight twice in his existance. the first time, when she'd brought him into sxistance just by breathing his Name, and assigning him the stars.

Then, when, in mass, she addressed them after Micheal had defeated Lucifer, and had denounced them.

He shuldn't crave what he really never had, but listening to Eve talk to him, he imagined that was what it must have been like for the thrones, sitting at the Almightly side.

No wonder Lucifer wanted the humans destoryed so much. that was far too much power they weilded, with out te first clue.

No... no the humans where quite clueless. like the angels had been, before Lucifer. and he thought... maybe.. maybe he didn't want tot make trouble. he didn't want to ruin them the way Lucifer had. they had not idea, after all. blank, like knewly named Angels. Best as he could see they'd been dumbed here as told to manage the garden and to name the things. Name was a big deal, bu tthey didn't understand that. it wasn't their fault.

And as far as he could tell, crawly was the only one to make it inside. the agnels did occationaly smite something outside the walls, but overall, it was quiet from them. only the humans and the animals moved inside hte garden. so.. there was no real since of urgancy to make trouble. after all, there was only day at this point, so time was still not a real idea on earth yet.

and eve was so lovely to talk to. her day might be a simple affair, but she was a guardian in her own right, looking after ever animal and showing them affection and care. and adam would tell stories of the things he'd seen, and was so sinscer in hiseagerness to show her,a nd in turn to listen to her when she descibed the nature of the things he had named.

crawly had never felt such a peace. he'd been at peace int he stars, but there was no love or affection there. it was just existance. here.. here he liked to be. here he felt, and gthe feelings ehre wondrous. he nearly forgot about the other fallen and the war, and Lucifer, content in jsut being near the human pair. he was still careful about the angels, but they never looked inside, only ever out.

well... almost never. there had been a very close call ont he east side where eve had called out for Adam, in a rather loud tone. the angel in question had perked up at htat, looked over into the garden. but it had beemed satisfied that the noice had been one of delight and not distress, and had turned back to facing the nothing beyond.

carwly had frozen in place, trying to compuse the angel not to notice him in the brush. he wasn't sure if had worked or not, but the angel hadn't smote him on the spot, so there was that.

No. things where... good. Paradise was the proper name for such a place.

until all at once, he /felt/ Her enter the walls. God was in the garden.

Why?
