36

Lucifer studied the creature in front of him with more enthusiasm than before. This second version had longer hair than that of the first and a more curvy figure, it had more slender legs and arms and a more soft look to its features. It looked quite attractive.

Attractive?! What was he thinking? Surely this was some kind of curse, another type of trap. The creature couldn't see him either,it turned its small, slender blue eyes to the dead creature on the floor and walked over to it. Lucifer watched as it touched it's lookalike on the head and the latter let out a small noise of satisfaction. Lucifer scrunched his face in disgust. What manner of conversation is this again? Can this second creature not speak?

The slender creature kept rubbing the head of the dead companion until the sky started to get brighter and Lucifer watched till the end. To say he was fascinated was an understatement. The look on the face of the creatures during their conversation was the type he had never seen before. He had tapped the head of his companions one too many times in heaven but none of them had that look on their face and neither did he. He couldn't understand what it was about but for some reason he wanted to experience it.

Are you insane?! That is not your friend! It is not going to touch your head!

It.

Lucifer stared back and forth at the slender creature and Adriel who had been stalking him from afar since they arrived. He noticed some similarities. They had the same soft look on their face and their bodies were almost the same. Even though the angels in heaven had a distinctive look in general, it was easy to differentiate the male from the female. These two creatures weren't an 'it'.

"He and she". He said to himself.

Was he creating another heaven?! But then where was the tournament? How did these two come to be? Lucifer had remembered they did not fall from the sky and that they had no coverage whatsoever but they didn't seem to mind or notice.Was it the bright light that created them? But there was no bright light when the male creature arrived. Lucifer's eyes widened.

Did the woman come out from the man?!

"Master Lucifer".

"WHAT?!" Adriel flinched at the outburst and took a step back. She was also loosing her beauty, and the large scar carved on her forehead was not helping matters. Her hair was loosing its golden glow and falling off and her entire body looked shrunken. Lucifer had never seen anything so hideous, he wanted to kick her away. She was nowhere compared to the female creature lying…

NO!!!!None of that nonsense!

"Yes?" Lucifer asked a little calmly. Maybe if I am nice, she'll leave.

"I…I wanted to ask if you were alright?" She asked with a small smile on her face except it didn't look like she as smiling, but like she was about to shriek.

"Ah…yes very". He answered. They both stayed in silence after that. Adriel enjoyed the silence in peace while Lucifer wanted to disappear.

"Anything else?" He asked her with an irritated tone.

"No…i--"

"Good". He then turned abruptly to the female creature lying on the

floor with her male counterpart.

This made Adriel jealous,her fear was coming true. Lucifer was more interested in that beast than her.She walked away from her master both angry and dejected.

Lucifer had not noticed her leave and he didn't care, something more interesting was unfolding in his eyes. The male creature was opening his eyes.

So he isn't dead? What was he doing then?

His female counterpart stood up immediately and faced him with a small smile on her face. As she stood, it was then Lucifer noticed the two heaps on her chest which was before covered with her hair. He marveled. What was that?

"Adriel.."

"My lord". The angel ran over to Lucifer with speed. He turned to face her but he did not make eye contact. Instead his eyes were fastened on her chest. His hands went to touch her chest and he felt two heavy heaps there as well, Lucifer took a step back and wiped his hands like he had touched dirt. So this was there all these time? How had he not noticed?

The male creature stood up and rubbed his eyes, by the time his sight was clear,it widened.

He stared at the female like he had never seen anything so perfect in his life.

Yes I know.NO!NO I DO NOT KNOW!!!

Then the male creature opened his mouth to speak.

"This is the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh".

What?!

"Bone…flesh…What is that?" Lucifer turned to Adriel. "Have you heard of such?"

"No…my lord".

"She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man". He continued.

Woman and man?! What happened to male and female?

The male creature then proceeded to hug his bone and flesh. Was he claiming her? He could just drag her by the hair and command her.

Lucifer never understood the point of hugging or any physical affectionate contact.

"Bone and flesh….could that be what they are made of?"

"I don't know my lord, I have ne--"

"I wasn't asking you".

"Oh".

The 'man and woman' intertwined their hands with a smile on their faces, then they walked around the garden. What is it with them and all these touching?

STAY BY YOURSELF!!!!

The whole day consisted of the two creatures playing with the other creatures and eating the items on the tree and Lucifer struggling to understand why his former boss created these dumb creatures.

As the day was darkening once again, Lucifer gave up trying to understand them when the male sniffed the hair of the female and she giggled. He walked over to a tree and rested on it, but unfortunately, he slipped past it.

Lucifer growled in anger.

"This is not the time to--"

Just then a voice came from the sky, a voice Lucifer thought he will never hear again.

"Adam".
