This is an allegorical tale of Lucifer's fall from grace, and the subsequent evolution of Evil. Evilution is based on the seventh legend of Lucifer's Fall from Grace: Disobedience, as told in the Sufi Legend. In the beginning, we see Lucifer as God's holiest and most powerful angel . . . the brightest and most beautiful of all his creatures . . . and also, the one who loved God the most. When God created the Angels, he instructed them to bow to no one but Himself. Then, when He created Man, feeling this to be superior to the angels and forgetting His previous commandment, He instructed His angels to bow to His newest creation. We find Lucifer torn between two commandments, knowing whichever choice he made would damn him . . . and choosing to honor the Almighty's first command, he questioned his | ||
 |
Beloved Creator, saying, "Why should the Son of Fire Bow to the Son of Clay?" |
||||
 |
Incensed that one of His creations should question Him, God's |
||||
|
|
judgement was swift, and he cast Lucifer out of heaven, damning him to a hell of eternal loneliness, separated from His divine love. | ||||
