Lucifer stood from the Tree and drifted back upward, attempting to think. But his thought centered further on that strange feeling that had come to him. He landed back in Heaven and floated lightly through the air, humming a tune to himself again.
Meanwhile, Avan sat up from his bed and rubbed his eyes. The dream that had come to him had not been a pleasant one. He stood and stretched his 6 wings softly, then walked to the balcony and took flight, off to visit the demi-goddesses who had bore him. One was the Goddess of Love, Serenity. The second, the Goddess of Life, Imuro. Third, the Goddess of Fear, Minuit. They turned softly to him as he approached, each smiling in turn, but all speaking at once. "Good son, you come again. What brings you here to this gentle house, Avan?"
Avan's breath caught in his throat. He had come to speak with them, but now he was scared to do so. In this particular realm of Heaven, the Lord had no ears. Avan, realizing this, relaxed. "Great Mothers who gave life to many beings before me, I hath seen a great and terrible vision this night."
The Triplet Goddesses looked worry. "Oh, dear. Tell us what this is, dear." Avan shivered. "Yes..." He relayed his tale, the dream of a man cradeling a skull in one hand, then crushing it with a bloodied fist.
This vision would become true, it would prove. The skull belonged to no one, it was merely a metaphor. Something was going to happen to crush the head of Heaven and cripple him. Avan feared this and turned again, flying as fast as he could to the Lord to tell him the news. But would he make it in time? None know.
