Lucifer (10 ratings) by Briareus
Page 7 of 7 "Now here she is, the river of independence and reason, those two warriors
who you dismissed me for enjoining. Now here she is, the source of all your
devotion and everything you should want. Now here she is Lord. Will you take
her?"
"Truly, Lucifer, I do not know what to think, for your realm of values and
self achievement is beyond me so that I am now unsure of how to address their
need. To me it seems I am anxious and quick to marry Eve and I can think of no
other. I will have her if she agrees."
Then Eve spoke.
"I thought our engagement was impossible until I heard you speak just now. I
have marked a change in you that I did not believe from Lucifer when he told of
it. You have become an explorer. You now demand what you have condemned! I am
sure that all of Heaven must shake, but it will not fall. Only grow stronger
with your maturity. I have seen it happen in Lucifer’s realm and now I shall
nurture Heaven itself in this change."
"Oh, dear, sweet Eve- come to me!"
Eve took her place beside the Lord as Lucifer looked on. He saw her change
from an eternal woman to an eternal wife. Truly, there was something good
before
him and this made Lucifer smile; a tear formed in his eye. He watched Eve and
the Lord gaze into each other’s eyes a moment more before slipping away and
returning home.
