~Free Will Is An Illusion~

In The Beginning...
God created Michael, the first archangel, the eldest of his three brothers. After the creation of Heaven and its angels and Earth and its people, God commanded all of the celestial beings to bow before mankind, to love them more than himself. Lucifer questions this order, insisting that they are "flawed, murderous beings". Lucifer then seeks out Michael, for support, but he refuses to listen. When God leaves Heaven suddenly, Michael assumes command of the angels, and runs Heaven and Earth for a millennia. Michael sees himself as a good and loyal son to his father, and that matters most to him. He professes love for Lucifer, his younger brother, but insists that he is only serving his father by destroying his brother. His insistence that his actions only serve God is not entirely true, because he blames Lucifer for the loss of their father - and is angry with him. He has a stubborn insistence on fulfilling his story as written that leads him into imprisonment in the Cage.

I took care of him in ways most
people could never understand
And I still love him

Before being pulled into the Cage I would have said duty to my Father without question. But now that I see more clearly. I would have to say love.

You’re not in any way ashamed of how you took advantage of me? That does not bother you in the slightest? I have never done that to you. As I am, I have only ever sought to help you. Teach you, love you. While part of you did, and still does seek to corrupt.

Took advantage of you? That’s what you call it?

When you were simpering like a dog off in the darkness, praying for Father to come and rescue you from the prison He condemned us to? The only thing I did was try to show you that, in the end, all your faith meant nothing.

I wanted you to see the truth and stop hurting for what you couldn’t change. If that was taking advantage of you, then so be it. I refuse to be ashamed.

You can call me what you like, First-born, but remember this— any part of me that is corrupted was your doing. You put me in that Cage, left me to fester in the cold waste for time immemorial. I won’t be held responsible for your actions.

That is not what I was referring to, Lucifer and you know it. You took advantage of when I was weak to feel stronger if only for a few moments. And maybe I can understand why. After those centuries you’ve felt so weak? I don’t know your reasoning but don’t you dare bring up your Fall and go about blaming me again. I will not hear of it tonight.

Why would you even tell anyone about that — that is none of their business or their concern I have not yet ever put you out there in such a poor light perhaps I should do so on more an often occasion, brother, because I have far more to use against you.

You forget a key difference between us, brother. I’ve never been ashamed of my actions, not like you have.

So go on and tell your stories~ Doesn’t make much difference to me, but I apologize for bruising your tender ego. I’ll keep any further tales from the eyes of others if I can help it.
