UNFOLDING HISTORY
There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

"They say when you're born, you've given your eternal soul; the part of you that lives on, lives again."

After Lilith, there came Edith. Seemingly human as the rest but her body was an empty shell whose ultimate purpose was to embody the soul of Adam's first wife.

"Be led into temptation, and take that which tempts, whenever you can."

Edith is a vessel that was never allowed the luxury of tender love and care. Where there are a wide range of emotions available to other humans, she lacked or they were twisted beyond recognition. When ancient ruins dusted over - when her soul (or the fractured remains of one) was taken away - there came a time when each was taught of the virtues.
Wield them, she told herself and you could be powerful one day.
Perfect yourself, no one will turn away.
Practice, with a pretty face and a relentless tongue, people of ages will bow.
