Chapter six:
Hello, Cain. I speak in a cold dark tone with boneless power that causes the earth to quake and the world to thunder as divine lightning descended upon the earth.
Boom!
My Lord... [Cain] stutters as he is being rained on while I stand dry in this storm unbothered and unaffected by the storm descending upon the land.
As I hear this I tilt my head to the side and my left eyebrow as I ask.
You know of me?
And yes I ask. I rarely use my Nigh- Omniscience, it... it can get boring knowing everything, being everything and being capable of doing anything...
Yes I do... Father and Mother speak of your loyalty and how you protected from the Serpent. [Cain] answers trying to hide his fear in futility for the fear is rolling off him in waves.
As I hear about Mephisto my eyes darken in rage, they see what I did as an honor but I see it as punishment.
Casting my most beloved son out was as if I was tearing my whole being apart, no that would've been a more preferable fate.
I raised him, he was my most cherished son, who betrayed me and I had to cast him out Heaven, for his sins.
These people glorify what I had done, while I abhor and hate myself for it, for what I had to do no matter how right I was...
But I hold my rage in.
Do you know why I am here Cain? I asked even though I already know the answer.
No my Lord. [Cain] foolishly lie's.
Tell me Cain where is your brother? Where is Abel. I asked him in a cold emotionless tone, not giving away my knowledge of his sin.
As I ask this I see Cain slightly pale but he forcibly composes himself failing to hide his fear.
Am I my brother's keeper my Lord? [Cain] asked me.
As I hear this my blood boils from rage!
The sky begins to darken even more!
The Earth quake's from fear and tears itself apart!
How dare he!
As I hear this I vanished from my spot and appeared in front of Cain towering over him and looking down upon him with cold glowing golden eyes filled with fury.
You are. I answered in a booming voice that thunders through creation reaching the highest Heavens and the lowest part of Hell.
This would've normally tore him apart on a quantum atomic level alongside the solar system and beyond alongside all living beings in it, but I am a merciful Goddess and have them protected from the damage that would've been descended upon it.
Though this does not stop Cain from cowering from my gaze boring into his head as his ears bleed from pain because of my thunderous voice.
Though I do not let him fall as I with my right hand grip his right shoulder tightly causing him a lot of pain but one still bearable enough to remain having coherent thoughts.
Yes you are Cain, the responsibilities of the oldest brother are to raise and protect the younger siblings, and you have failed your responsibilities, for that I curse you, I curse you to walk this mortal coil for all of eternity, suffering from your guilt, seeking forgiveness and redemption from me, seeking admittance to Heaven. I thunder.
And as I do the sky split's apart as Divine Light shines from the Heavens and cast's itself upon us and burns a mark upon Cain's right shoulder.
Aaaahhhh! [Cain] roars in pain as the mark burns upon his shoulder.
As the mark burns and I let go Cain's bleeding wound's heal in but an instant as he glares at me with hateful eyes and say's.
Aren't thou projecting yourself upon me O Mighty Lord of Heaven! [Cain] roars in rage at his state.
As I hear this my rage reaches it's limit.
The entire infinite creation rumbles in fear as Darkness start to swallow it.
But then it stops.
It stops for he is right.
For I know that as much as I blame the Devil, I myself am as much in blame as it was my responsibility to raise Mephisto, I failed him as a mother and I had to cast him out of Heaven's to hide my shame, for I call him prideful but I am even more so for I can not accept my failure...
Sigh. You are correct first born of Adam and Eve, but I am not the only one who failed, you have as well. I can not stone for my failure's but you can for you still have a chance for your brother is merciful for he did not hate you for killing him even after he arrived in Heaven but I myself am hated by my most cherished son, so you are correct, I truly am the one who failed... I answered in a sorrowful tone.
As I do I can see as I look down on Cain him shedding tears of regret, tears that are far too late for the past can not be changed. Killing his younger brother out of jealousy is one of the greatest sins.
As I see Cain sobbing as he kneels upon the earth I turn my back on him and spread my golden cloud's ready to take flight but before I leave I tell him one more thing.
I hope you succeed in your quest to find redemption for I myself truly envy you for I myself can not have such a quest, I envy you for even after you have sinned your brother is still capable to forgive you, for my son is not... I tell him in a sorrow.
As I do I spread my golden cloud's and take flight, returning back to Heaven.
