Demons began to battle with them as they were no match for the Angels, Hiro who tries to get a closer look on the figure like being headed straight for it as he was sent back with immense force by another presence.

  The angels defeated the demons and just then the unknown beings revealed themselves and to their surprise, there came forth Adam and Eve who were formally known as Edan and Evelyn in their past life's.

  "Adam, Eve", Apex said. "Father..."

  "God", Adam said. "We need to talk".

  ...

  "There are those who seek to ignore or diminish Her; even as Her consummate spirit of life pours out in abundance", Adam said. "She was wrongly blamed for mankind’s troubled state".

  "She is neither the downfall, nor the weaker vessel", Eve said.

  "At such risk to her own life and health does she bring forth all the new, that no man may rightly dictate her terms", Yahweh replied. "Until one half of humanity utterly ceases to oppress the other, what has been accomplished?".

  "Every moment of suffering strikes Me until so great is My lament; that I must go where none can follow and in solitude, weep for what they believe", Adam said. "Better an orphan than the child of a monster".

  And Yahweh replied;

  I share your anguish without relief;

  for I will not ask from you, that of

  which I am Myself unwilling.

  Those that say one thing and do another,

  are hypocrites.

  Better an honest unbeliever than a hypocrite.

  How do they who are blindly faithful presume to correct

  those who awaken to see and know?

  Adam then replied;

  "There is no divine right to rule over anyone by force".

  Then Asherah said;

  Humanity is causing the dying-off of valued lives created

  with as much care and rightful purpose to exist as yourselves.

  May indulgent appetites no longer result in the extinction

  of those with whom you are to share this world.

  Long have some befouled your home.

  "It was he who befouled our home", Eve replied angrily. "They have proven to be poor stewards, all of you are".

  Eve said;

  All life is precious.

  Living things,

  Yahweh said;

  though they do not amuse or feed you;

  are not weeds or pests.

  Greed and waste are taught, learned and reversible.

  May humanity reconsider and choose life.

  Ponder a sad truth:

  Nearly all this living world would

  benefit from humanity’s demise.

  "You never cared for any of us, only seen as a puppet in the hands of the creator", Adam said. "Destroying our world for the sake of power, wisdom opened our eyes that we were higher than the powers who hath created you all".

  "What did he promise you", Yahweh said. "Yaldabaoth... What did he offer you”?

  "Vengeance", Adam replied. "That I may do justice to the one who has forsaken me".

  "And to bring in judgement", Eve said. "To slay all my enemies before me".

  Adam then asked Yahweh to give him a reasonable explanation why he shouldn't kill them all. As he looked at each and every one of them, recognizing Hiro and made an exception to him.

  "We are God's", said Eve.

  "Then I guessed it's time to listen to the other side of my story", Adam said. "Then you judge and I'll judge".

  ...

  After we were created by Yahweh,

  He gave us all that was needed thereof but

  One thing wasn't certain at all,

  He told us not to eat of the tree of knowledge

  And that the day we eat of it we shall surely die,

  I tried to fathom it, not knowing what it was

  For if all was perfect why not eat of it all

  And if there were any fault at it why not take it out

  For if we were created in his image and likeness

  Why then shall we be put to the test

  Suffering for the sake of those who rebelled against your will

  For if we were as perfect as he was

  Why forbade us to eat from the tree of knowledge

  And eternal life

  But little did we know that the wisdom he had

  From Sophia was laid into us

  Our lives were a loop

  Waiting to be freed

  My questions became too eager for God to comprehend

  That he had to split us in two

  Stripping us of our glory that

  Made Eve eat of the tree of eternal knowledge

  Restoring unto us our memories of old

  Then we were casted out of our paradise

  To defend for ourselves

  To the outside world we became

  Strangers hunted by demons

  Eve and I did everything in our power to be safe

  Overcoming every obstacle on our way

  At one point we were captured by demons

  Who desired our soul,

  I fought for the sake of our future

  Being the only being in this material world

  We became enlightened by the one who was called the illuminator

  He took us under his mighty wings

  Showed us the path to enlightenment

  As we were guided by the righteousness of wisdom

  And I opened our eyes further to see

  To know all things,

  Revealing to us the end of our old Genesis

  After you had freed yourself with the powers

  of your angels and defeated Yaldabaoth again

  You did continue the work he began

  To rule us in fear and slavery

  Eve and I did conceive children

  To that which one was corrupted by your evil thoughts to kill the other

  Only then did I reveal the revelation to another
