Chapter Text
I learned this game, it came from the age of the new humanity, and it’s usually played at parties. The name of the game is two truths one lie, apparently the loser has to drink alcohol… But oh well, if you lose I don’t mind if you don’t drink, it can be bad for your health.
Okay, are you ready? Here I go, my two truths and my one lie:
1. The maker doesn’t love all his creations equally
2. Lucifer made a rebellion after Lilith ate the forbidden fruit
3. The bible is a product made by the heavens
Do you know which one is the lie?
…I don’t really talk much about Lu, none of us really does. It all happened so fast, I had control, there was order, and suddenly there was chaos. Gabriel, Sariel, Raphael, all of them were there… And I still remember his face, the way his eyes looked at me… Lu, wherever you are, please forgive your stupid big brother, it didn’t have to end this way.
Oh, sorry about that, you’re still here. Sometimes I get distracted, jajajaja.
Mmmmm? Oh, that’s right, that was one of the questions they had, what makes someone worthy of heaven? What condemns them to hell?
Well, it’s complicated.
Good. Evil. Sin. Virtue. Vengeance. Forgiveness. Wrath. Patience. Freedom. Control.
One might think these words mean something, and yes, they DO mean something. The problem is that the meaning changes constantly, I went through each of those words, my siblings went through each of those words.
Can an angel thirst for vengeance? For blood? For the trill of the kill? It’s painful, but yes, we can
Can a sinner thirst for justice? For mercy? For salvation? The answer is also a yes.
An angel can call upon genocides and call it justice, it was not.
A sinner can call upon salvation and redemption; there was no such thing.
What is a sinner? Well, when the war finally was on the open, that was the name we gave to the humans that fought against us.
Now, I discovered this place, this universe, where heaven and hell have such a flawed system when it comes to judging the human soul that is honestly painful. A place where no one knows what makes one worthy of heaven or hell.
I’m the big brother of all the heavens, he who went undefeated in the war, he who was coronated as the ruler of the heavens due to my achievements during the war. I gave the order to create a new humanity once the old one was exterminated. It was I who created a bureaucratic system that ensures humans are judged correctly so they can go to different afterlives. It is I who loves humans like my second younger siblings, even as my children.
That is why I want to show this place why its so important to correctly judge humans, to have an effective system that guarantees everyone has what their deserve after death.
This is the truth that you will also be watching, the truth that I will be presenting to this other universe. This is the truth behind the longest, bloodiest, most brutal event in all existence. An event that painted cosmos and reality itself with the blood of both sides.
My name is Michael, better known as the Archangel Michael. Yep, the same one that in the bible is told fought against Lucifer and damned him to hell alongside his army, the one who slayed the dragon of the apocalypse.
Now, I’m willing to show the objective truth, but don’t worry, I won’t start at the middle. I love humans, and I’ve come to understand that stories are better told from the beginning and from an omniscient point of view, or omniscient limited.
I just want you to remember something, you can’t change anything, the events already occurred, the dead died eons ago, and this story doesn’t have a happy ending
