In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The watery depths bore nothing but vast expanse, void of all things.
And God spoke: Let there be light.
In the midst of the waters a light appeared, as mighty as every star combined.
The fluid motion of all things sprang forth, passing through the watery depths and filling the void.
The energy that would later become stars began to settle, as it was God's will, and light and darkness divided amongst the water.
The days of Creation then approached:

~Day One~
And God spoke: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
All in the depths gathered as they may.
There was evening, there was morning.

~Day Two~
And God spoke: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.
And the waters gathered, and Earth was formed.
And God said: Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth
And so the Earth sprang up all it's vegetation, and a mist rose from the Earth and watered the face of the ground.
Then God made man from the dust of the Earth, and breathed life into him. Man became a living soul, and God placed him in the Garden that He prepared for him.
God commanded him: Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
There was evening. There was morning.

~Day Three~
And God spoke: Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
A warm light shined upon Earth, and the sun sat in the sky. The moon was also placed among it, to provide light when the sun was not direct. The stars were also completely formed, providing indications of time and direction.
There was evening. There was morning.

~Day Four~
And God spoke: It is not good for man to be alone.
The seas filled with creatures, as did the sky.
There was evening, there was morning.

~Day Five~
God then made every animal of the fields. After doing so, He gathered every creature of Earth and brought them to Adam to name. And God put Adam into a deep sleep, and from his rib, He made Eve. And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
And God spoke: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
And just as God and His mount ruled over all, man had dominion over the seas and the earth and all the creatures of them
There was evening. There was morning.

~Day Six~
God continued the last of His work.
There was evening. There was morning.

~Day Seven~
God had finished His work, and rested.
He blessed this day, as it was the day He had rested from all His work.

An angel roams the Heavens, special from the others and mighty in his praise. He is the first to lead and the most prevalent in sound. He is a paragon of God's creations aloft by twelve wings. And so he is anointed guardian cherub, the Morning Star watching over mankind.

But a feeling overcomes him in which he cannot shake, a feeling that he had never before felt.
Oh, how the angels have become the watchers of the newly adorned. Once made high and next to God, just to be the hinge between Him and men!

Anointed in the Earthly stones, his charge is realized in Eden amongst the rivers, the substance of life enclosing paradise. But to be anointed above and below, that will be the charge when he is right. These humans do not deserve what they have been given.

In Heaven above, Belial and Azazel looked upon the Earth. The anointed one below is going to disrupt the humans, and they do not inform God, but remain in silence. A feeling had taken them over as well, a feeling of anger which they had not known. A bottomless vanity pits within them as the anointed one slithers unto the mount of man.

The angel approaches the fairer one:
[I]“Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” [/I]

The temptation was great, and in the naivety of herself and the man she was with, they ate from the tree.

_And their eyes certainly did open.

Like a man in a vault, coming out to see a destroyed and irradiated land, this was the feeling that took them over. They felt ashamed and clothed themselves, and their despair led to fear. They hid in the Garden, until God came and saw what had happened.

The angels in Heaven were divided by the blade of Michael. One-third held contempt, led by the high cherub Satan, as the others begged them to kneel to God. Michael was at the ready, his opposite destroyed the balance- the perfection that was reality.

God said to the anointed angel:

[I]“Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.” [/I]

The angels above heard this, and when God returned, they left and joined the angel below. Man had been cast from Eden, the mount of His grace for the humans. The angels cursed and Satan accused. God cast them from the fiery stones, and the history of man began.
