Application Pt. 2: muse_shuffle
And when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to a fire?
After they fell, Lucifer wanted to make things as transient as possible. Sure they were fugitives now. Fallen from grace and the lowest of God’s creations, but they still could be able to maintain some civility. Some aspects of their former life. If the war had been won by their side, Lucifer wouldn’t have been displacing anyone, and he didn’t see any reason to do so now.
At least that’s what they were told.
Amy didn’t really truly listen-she would just do as she was told and nothing else. Besides, those humans they had swayed to the weaker aspects of their nature were going to need a shepherd to their new home as well. Even if it was the place of eternal torment and everlasting pain. Even if that person was meant to become one of them as well. In heaven she had been the bright light, beckoning the lost souls home. But here, she was going to need something different. She wasn’t in heaven after all, she walked the earth. And the Earth wasn’t going to be so astounded by bright light.
They would, however, be amazed by a woman who could hold fire in the palm of her hand.
Her fire was her most prized possession. It was her crowning achievement, and what got her all the attention that she did. She was a woman who appeared from tongues of fire, bringing promises of all the knowledge that God didn’t want to share. Of matter, and science and the stars-everything that the Church forbid studying, that God forbade studying. It was what had caused the human’s fall from grace to begin with, knowledge. And she was there to offer it in spades, to elevate them to a point of high regard-to educate them on things that at this point were only known to the angels and the demons.
And who were they, as learned men, to resist a woman with fire in the palm of her hand.
