Narrative For Nick Marci's "Grain Of Humanity"


“One is beautiful, one is brilliant, and one decides all. They are the Sisters of Affliction. They sit at the only portal to hell on this earth, and they’re the only things that stand between us and all the unimaginable tortures that await when we die. It was said that many years ago before the sisters were cursed to watch over the doorway to hell, that earth was inundated with demons, and the people of this earth fled and hid in fear of being dragged down to the dark abyss that only in their worst of nightmares, they could ever imagine..
Thea is beautiful, she warms the hearts of any who may pass by her post within the Frameil Desert. Her songs woo men from miles away and they’re lured to her presence. They follow her to the portal in a trance that can only be broken one way; if the beautiful one is stabbed through the black hole which is her heart.
It is Lucifer who chooses who is brought to his dwelling. He uses Thea’s beauty to lure his slaves to his palace, then it is Alaina, the sister of choice, who decides whether or not they are worthy enough to serve his All Mighty Accursed. Legend has it that the third sister was always left out, she played no important role in the accursed's demands. Her father never even named her, for she exhibited no use for him. She was the brilliant one, she was terrifically smart but had no beauty to lore servants, and although intelligent she had no way of knowing what her own father wanted.
How did it come to be that the Lord of Darkness himself solicited his three daughters and spiritually chained them to the lone stump in the middle of the desert, who cursed them to do his bidding until the end of time? It was their mother who was to blame. She bore his only three children, and when he found out that she was one of the apostles for the only spirit which is, his immortal enemy, the Lord, she was banished from his domain and never to show her face in hell or on earth again. Ahkir was the only female apostle, of course its always the women who mess things up. She knew she was doing wrong, but it appeared that like many followers after her time made the mistake of choosing love over her God.
He saw his daughters as objects, and was disgusted with them for being born from such a ridiculous race, one not of his own persuasion. Lucifer is a mean spirit, one who forgives no one. He bears no heart or soul, and he doesn’t love. No one dares cross his Dark Lord, for fear the outcome maybe quite more sever than that of crossing God. Don’t ever make him mad at you, and do what he says, you are his follower you are his eternal servant. He may not have put you on this earth, but he sure as hell can take you off of it. Do you understand me Gesos?”

“Yes father, I think I do. To undermine God is one thing, but to undermine Lucifer is unimaginable? Right? Because God forgives? And Lucifer....”

“Lucifer binds, tortures, then kills. There is no forgiving. For some one to belittle Him, for their sake they better hope they’re banished from earth and Hell, but I wouldn’t count on anyone being as lucky as Ahkir .”

“Yes Father.”

“Now Gesos, you know the legend, go to your altar, it is time for you to pledge yourself...”

I think its really cool how you take characters from Christo-Judaism and put them in a Greek-esque myth.
