"The Four Evangelists"
by: Eric Diaz
.:Intro:.
"What have you done!" the voice boomed like thunder in the rainstorm, through the entirety of the vast garden.
"Do not blame us, My Lord!" yelled the tall brown-haired in a defensive reply, "We were deceived by Tabris!"
The voice of crackling thunder now questioned the accused man, "Does he speak the truth, Tabris?"
"This is an outrage! I did not deceive them!" the silver-haired, young man answered in the face of his accusation, "I merely told thee of the Fruit bore by the Tree of Knowledge! They ate of it in their own accord!"
The voice sounded with more frustration. "Tabris, you have this upon thy fellow Lilim, the forbidden knowledge of the truth. You must receive your just punishment."
"But, My Lord, I did not coax thee to eat thy Fruit!"
"You!" the voice boomed in angered response, "You hath told thee of the Fruit, your punishment is now in effect. May the Heavens look down upon you."
"But, My Lord--!"
"Your soul shall be sent back to White Moon of Adam, from which I had wrought you, and there shallst thy stay, for the rest of eternity. So has said the Word of God, so it shall be done."
Tabris opened his mouth in a futile attempt to save his life once more, but before he had the chance, the winged Fifteenth creation of God, Arael, Angel of the birds, swoops in and tears Tabris' body from the ground. With speed and ferocity, it flies back to the Egg of Adam, Tabris clawing at its talons and pleaing for mercy. Before he could yell once more, he was thrown relentlessly into the dark depths of the White Moon, his body leaving him in a rush of LCL. His AT-Field would not see the light of day for many millenia.
"Israfel," the ominous voice resounded. "Search out the Lilim. Have them returned to the Black Moon as punishment," he declares with a momentary pause, "Let their their children, Cain and Abel, live, outside the walls of this paradise."
The immense giant raised its oddly-formed face from the ground where it had been lying dormant. It rose slowly from the canopies of the trees, its slender yet streamline form taking shape. At the peak of its acsension, it began to split into halves, and Kou and Otsu emerged from the bundle. They slowly began their combing of the grounds in the paradise, searching…
The rainforest-like paradise was teemimg with all kinds of unknown vegetation, all made and created by the Will of Our Lord. There were exotic plants and fowers, mixed in with tropical trees, and odd-looking fruit. But what look the strangest were the mysterious creatures and insects that inhabited this unchartered land. Creatures that had never been heard of, never been thought of to exist, yet, here they were, lying in the wake of this eternal garden.
The rustle of leaves and fruits could be heard not too far off in the distance. The two Lilim had managed to escape with their lives, for the time being. They now had to spend the time they had gained for themselves wisely.
They finally broke the stretch of rainforest, and came to the edge of a small lake. It was a rounded lake, nearly the size of three city blocks or so, and at the center was a small, quaint little isle. The two looked back to make sure everything was alright, then started the swim to the center island.
As the pair swam across to the other side, the loud, thunderous tremors of the Angels on pursuit could be heard, slowly, calmy approaching with each step. The wandering giants finally poked through the top of the canopy in the paradise, moving closer.
The two swam a little further, and finally made it to the shore of the isle. They ran into the center and into a group of almost inconspicuous huddled leaves and branches. Within the cozy, little, makeshift home were two mats made of a rather strange looking cloth, and squeezed into the corner stood two little children.
"Momma!" yelled the first and smallest child in fright, running to her side and hugging her.
"Hush…" she quieted the boy down, "Don't make any noise, for now."
The footsteps of the forthcoming Angels were getting deafeningly loud by now, and then finally stopped, the last ones coming from the edge of the lake. Silence.
The brown-haired man came back from outside, running to his wife's side. "Where's the Lance?" he questioned her.
"Outside," she replied hesitantly, "Are we going to…?"
He stared at her. "Yes," he replied sullenly, sadness apparent on his face, "For the sake of the children's future, we need someone to carry on for us."
"Okay…" she replied, significantly trying to hold back some tears. She turned slowly to her children, trying her best to put on some kind of reassuring face. "Stay here, okay? Don't move, no matter what."
She looked at the older of the two, a rugged-looking young boy, about the age of seven or eight. "Cain, you'll take care of Abel, you promise me?"
The boy tried to make sense of what she was trying to say to him, and looked at her with sad eyes. "Aren't you gonna come back, mom?"
She glanced at him silently, wishing so much she could tell him she would. The moment passed after what seemed an eternity, and she didn't waste anymore time, and decided to give him one last hug, never saying a word, but giving him the answer he knew.
She got up, and started walking towards the entrance. "Take care of him," she says as she walks out.
"Mom!" he yells, reaching out in vain, and hurriedly huddles back with his younger brother in the corner.
She ran quickly to the edge of the lake, where her husband was standing, staring out, into the depths of the lake. "Where are they?"
He looked intently at the surface of the water, taking in the fact that it was starting to round near the middle. "Hurry," he said, growing louder, "Go, snap the vine holding the cable. Now!"
She stared at him, wondering what was going wrong with him, but making no second inqueries, she ran back through the foliage of the isle to her destination near the other end.
The man kept staring at the rounding surface of the lake, and after a few moments, the water broke as the heads of the Angelic entities of Israfel ascended to the edge of the island, the man stunned in awe at their growing size.
He looked back, wondering what was taking so long. "Eve…" he spoke out questioningly.
"Almost there!"
"Eve! Cut it now--!"
A moment or two passed in deathly silence, and then the vine snapped, releasing the collosal spear into a mid-air vault, where it landed on its target, impaling Kou. Unfortunately, it was a silence that would be the last for the one known as Adam.
Eve was pretrified as she watched her beloved husband be reduced to nothing more than a rushing flow of LCL. The horror of it all finally reached her when the other halve of Israfel, Otsu, was upon her. In one final cry of revenge and anguish, she, too, was returned to the Black Moon, the Egg of her mother, Lilith.
The deathly silence which had befalled the absence of Adam now once more fell on the death of Eve. The only sounds that could be heard now were the cries and sobs of two little, scared, innocent children…
