âSheâs beautifulâdonât you think?â The mysterious man spoke from behind.
âLilithâ¦?â I glanced at him. âYeah, sheâs not bad for the first woman God ever made.â
âAhâSo, youâre aware the story of Lilith then.â He acted astonished by my answer. âMost only learned about poor Eve. The notorious story of Adam and Eve and the great sin.â
âI rarely bring up subjects like that, not unless I want to get a mouthful about it. âBut yeah, God created Lilith as Adamâs first wife. The folklore says she and Adam had a dispute because she didnât want to always be in the submissive position. We both learn she left the Garden of Eden after that dilemma and mated with other creatures from other realms. Then came the birth of Demons, her as mother and Queen, while Eve created the first original sin of picking the apple from the tree and feeding it to Adam. Thatâs when you end up with a realm full of humans exiled from paradise.â I laughed to myself. âI donât understand how someone can hold myths like that so close to heart. People twisted many stories over time for a dramatic effect.â
âWhat makes you say thatâ¦?â He raised his brow in curiosity.
âI think thereâs more to it. It canât just be all about sin and defying God. Thereâs so much about this world and beyond we donât see. Beautiful things of both light and dark.â
âWhat an intriguing thoughtâ¦?â He seemed to have taken an interest in my views. âDid you know Lilith in her lust for dominance became the first original Demoness?â
âNo, I didnâtâ¦â
âA Queen she had become, but only because being away from Godâs light and divine energy, the darkness had changed her. Lust drove her to leave the garden and the light⦠Lust is what she became⦠Lilith was the first true Succubus to haunt the night. Then by embracing the darkness, it became her only means of survival. A cursed existence you would say. An everlasting damnation. The same curse that doomed her kin to the night. Itâs either survive or die... Thereâs no fairness in it, donât you think?â
âHmm⦠Interesting perspectiveâ¦â His adaptation of the story was unusual, but I didnât challenge his point of view. âYou must like studying myth and folklore then.â
âI doâ¦â He answered while lifting the relic in his hand. âThe folklore of this world fascinates me. Whatâs not to likeâ¦?â He looked me in the eye. The woman by his side stood close next to him laying her arm over his shoulder.
âIâm Derex.â His hand extended out as he placed Lilith back on the shelf. âDerex Theodore Van Horn.â
I shook his hand. âWell, Derex. Iâm KristenâKristen Brenner.â
âAhâKristen.â His crooked smile became unsettling in my gut as I sensed a dark aura around him. âWhat a lovely name. A name worthy of such serene beauty⦠This is Lady Nora.â He referred to his companion.
âLadyâNora?â
âYes,â she finally responded in an erotic subtle tone, while extending her hand towards me, like a lady of nobility wanting me to kiss her hand.
