Okay I'm going to list the first page I've got of the potential 'first' book of the Heavenly and Deadly (7 sins 7 virtues) Series. My apologies if this may affend someone but I blame the prompt! Actually as i write this I might come up with a completely different story now. XD Just thought to add this.
Once upon a time there was this guy named Wilber but since he loathed his name he changed his name to God (among other things). Okay basically God had a large gang of beings... Let's call them Angels at his beck and call. But that wasn't enough for him so he created this guy named Adam and a woman called Lilith. Now Lilith refused to be submissive and did some things that got her kicked out of 'Eden'. Anyway, Lucifer refused to bow down to Adam and his future ilk which made God pissy. This of course caused his fall.
Everyone got that so far? Good! Let's continue then.
Now God created the perfect submissive housewife named Eve. Lucifer tempted the chick with a forbidden fruit (it's a bloody apple) and being curious as all sin (hehehe) and deciding to be a rebel she took a bite and offer her hubby some.
Long story short shit happened with them and their offspring and God kicked them out as well.
Lucifer (or Luci) became to be known as Satan among the brainwashed followers of the light and was basically went to Hell to be it's ruler. Now Hell has it's good and bad parts. Each area has it's different traits and Lucifer is proud that he made someone's eternal judgement to the doom and gloom into a darker model of 'Heaven'. They have jobs and such as well. Now God didn't like this development at all so he declared war on Luci and him still bitter to his punishment eagerly accepted.
The battle still rages though there is debates on if they are actually listening or even real.
In various cultures different creatures and deities exist with many of them dating back before the whole Wilber thing went down. While most familiar with the Greek and Roman mythology, I'm going to have to brush up on the others quickly.
Especially with the predictament I've landed myself into now.
