Lilith

Lilith was a modern woman.  In full control, 
whatever it took she would keep control it had 
always been that way.  The First One had not 
expected that and had sent her from the 
garden.  she remembered the sunny green 
world it had suited her well-much better than 
him.  He had always been a fool, like all the 
men that followed him.  And that Eve-she was 
simple to deceive with that apple trick, little 
fool, even the fruit of knowledge doesn't help 
simpletons much.  It was an effective revenge, 
nobody else could have the garden if she 
couldn't.  Only the First One had forgotten that 
she was still immortal. He had  made them 
mortal when he made them leave. Lilith would 
still live forever. He was careless but she was 
not.  He'd also conveniently forgotten to 
mention to Adam and Eve that they were not 
the only ones in the world.  Adam of course 
would not succumb to the seduction of Lilith-
he liked his women submissive-but there were 
others that she could tempt.  The "original sin" 
was soon followed by other sins.  The First 
One lorded guilt over them,  guilt was His 
crowning glory.  It was with guilt He could 
make them cower.  But not Lilith,  He had 
made her too well.  In His own likeness.  She 
could not create though,  only destroy.  She 
mocked him by destroying his other 
playthings.  He would not admit her presence.  
The only women He ever mentioned were the 
ones He could control and destroy.  But they 
were not the daughters of Lilith, her daughters 
were strong and could not be controlled.  
Eventually He grew old and feeble minded.  
Eventually He stopped altogether.  Even the 
immortal age.  Lilith being much younger was 
free to play.  The first years out of the garden 
were harsh.  It was still fresh in her mind.  By 
the time she had settled in Egypt and the city 
had grown around her, she taunted the First 
One less.  She had liked the Egyptians.  They 
had a fine taste for gold and temples-more 
precisely temples for her.  At some point she 
had taken to drinking the blood of the 
sacrifices to the First One, to anger Him. Now 
she craved blood. So she would have the 
sacrifices drained. The dawning of a new age 
of blood.  But that is a tale for another day.
