Work Text:
In the beginning there were two Humans in the Garden of Eden and the Angels in heaven. The two humans were Adam and Lilith and the Angels were Lucifer and his brothers and sisters, this was before the fall. Well you know how the story goes Adam and Eve found the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and were punished and caste out of the garden.
Wait a minute what happened to Lilith and Adam and how did Adam get Eve? Well before the fall Adam and Lilith didn’t see eye to eye. Lilith thought they were equals. Adam thought Lilith was subservient to him and Lilith also caught the eye of Lucifer causing him and his brothers and sister to fall. At least some of them but before that Lilith left the garden, and God taking pity on Adam gave him his subservient wife Eve.
However God didn’t like the fact that Lilith had left even though he had given her free will, but he couldn’t send the compromised angels to go find her and bring her back so he sent one of his lower angels to bring her back. However shortly after the angel had left to find Lilith some of his angels and in quick succession the humans fell, and as punishment for the humans fall they would die and be judged for their deeds both good and bad. However since the remaining angels were stretched thin due to the fall he needed to create something that could ferry the souls of the blessed and damned to their various destinations. So what better than something that shared both characteristics of the sin and rightness. A mix of demon/human and Angels.
Now since the angel that God sent to find Lilith was already on the trail God sent him a message of the new plan and for him to convince Lilith to go along with it. So once the angel tracked Lilith down and relayed God’s plan for humans after the fall and asked if she wanted to help. Lilith said she would if for nothing else to get back at Adam. For a time the angel and Lilith were together they pair had four children two boys and two girls and after the children were grown the pair went their separate ways. Lilith eventually found Lucifer and she became the Queen of Hell and one more child Charlotte and she told Lucifer what had happened to her after the fall and her children that she had. Eventually those children not only grew in number and skill and ferried the souls of humans but also hell born creatures as well. They were known by all these beings as reapers, however that’s not what they called themselves. To their kind they were Necromancers farriers of the dead.
Thus this is where we came from now on to the real fun! Welcome to the world of We Sisters’ Four.
