PAPA ALWAYS LIKED ME BEST

“ As Lucifer fell, wasn’t it?  Struck down by the sword of the Archangel, he and all who defected with him – the gospel of new ezekiel speaks of the spider-eyed lamb and not of the freewill that god OPPRESSED.  You fight for freewill, as Lucifer did – and I am the first fallen.  You never fell alone, either. ”   No – Val took half the heavenly host with them.   Temple Gate felt the loss acutely – Knoth preached for hours, the rest of the faithful gathered in the chapel to denounce the enemy and those uncircumsized of heart – the heretics who would burn upon the stake, if they didn’t starve to death in the mountains.    ( Knoth was convinced they would turn to eating one another, as the serpent eats it’s own tail – when the hunger took hold.  He never suspected one of his own cloth to be sneaking rations. ) “ I was never afraid of falling. “

That admission surprises Val none. Mattias has always been a herding dog among sheep– And a lone wolf before that. He dared venture into the wild Knoth warned against. He heard the stories weaved of an unsaved world, corrupted and consumed by constructs of the Enemy, and still did not shy away. He walked into the wood and stood brave in the face of hungry beasts. When they found him he was bloodied, but going strong.

(Some took the loss of his eye as a sign Matthias were to be the next prophet. Knoth squirmed at the idea of relinquishing his empire even to his own son.)

                                 I could fuck and burn the world for all my joy.                                                              I love you. I am yours.                       I will purge this world, soft with rot, of all but ecstasy and terror,                          so that you may build your throne on the charred remains.                                                        You love me. I am yours.
