Codice Inferni, Book of the Kiln (Part 1)
Before the beginning, there was a great darkness, and it swallowed all the world. In the shadows did man lament, miserable and crawling, as a snake in the dust. Beastly and misbegotten, they were abandoned by their creator, unsightly and ignorant. Thus did man exist in the void, unguided and hopeless.
Into this formless void came the spark of all life. So did the Great Flame take pity upon the plight of man, such wretched creatures. Born of warmth and vigor and wrath, the Great Angel did descend upon the mortal realm, and in Their kindness and humility, They bestowed hope to all mankind.
With terrible wrath, the Great Angel did cast away the shadows. They clashed against the Great Enemy, and for many generations, the land buckled and the seas churned. But yet did the Angel did triumph, and with Their mighty Sword, They slew Their hated foe; and the darkness was scattered into a thousand thousand fragments, cursed to live as a shadow cast by the brilliance of the Flame's light.
"O' Great Angel, Thou hath saved us," the people cried, and a great host of them fell before the Angel's feet, and they wept. "Our children and our children's children, and our children's children's children shall know the might of Your Power, and the terror of Your Wrath, and the warmth of Your Vigor."
And so did the people take the Angel's Flame into Their hearts; and such was the pact they made with their bloodline. Their children were to be baptized at birth, submerged in the holiest of waters warmed by the Flame, and so would the Angel's Flame be passed twixt generations, as a torch is passed through the night.
The Great Angel of the Flame looked upon Their people and so proclaimed; "Ye are My flock, My chosen servants. Carry Mine Flame against the darkness, against the most dreaded enemies of the Deep, and ye shall know peace and prosperity at My breast."
And so, many did accept the grace of the Angel, and swore service unto the Angel. Yet, long had the shadows grown, whispering evil into the hearts of the weak and wicked, and thus did many coward wretches fall to the Great Enemy.
So did the great beginning of mankind give way to that tragedy so unique to the folly of man—war, and the clash of brother against brother.
