It was often mistaken that Lucifer's fall from grace was of his own evil, malicious will. Lucifer was cast out of Heaven by God because he challenged His divine will. And God created Hell to contain Lucifer and those who followed in his footsteps. At least this is what we've read in the bible and since the bible is the only thing we have linking the past before the creation of humankind, it's often mistaken as the the truth. It was written by man well after the creation of the earth and therefore, there is no way of knowing that it is the absolute and final word with what happened. But humankind didn't know any better. After the fall of Adam and Eve, all connections directly linking them with God was severed and for the first time since Eden, humans were alone. The story was passed down from generation to generation, but it is commonly known that each personality will add some sort of glorification or omit an important detail and over time, a story's integrity is lost in translation.What if that weren't all to the story because something wasn't apparent in the begining? Something so primal and so vast that it was locked away in a place where no one would think to question it's significance? 1
Before the fall of Lucifer and long before the creation of humans, pure Evil roamed the earth. It was there, like dark cloud darkening everything in it's path and it would exist long after God severed ties with Adam and Eve. And it was the reason Lucifer defied God. 2
From what is understood abut Lucifer and other angels in God's grace, all angels were created in God's likeness and with obedience to Him. Lucifer was one of God's shining angels, one of the highest in God's ranks. Lucifer never dreamed of defying God but it troubled him that after God made His decision to create a son who would sit beside him in the kingdom of Heaven that he began having thoughts and opinions of his own. He didn't want to betray God in anyway, because he knew that God only had the best of intentions for them. So afte careful consideration, Lucifer chose to fall from grace onto Earth, where he felt he could live in peace with his thoughts and with God. What Lucifer didn't know was that there was an inherent danger lurking on the vast lands of the still empty Earth. Pure Evil came unto Lucifer, aware of how naive and corruptable his mind was. It whispered in Lucifer's ear, placing thoughts of anger and envy within his mind. It whispered of power and righteousness, pushing Lucifer to demand his rightful place next to God. After all, he was one of God's highest angels and why shouldn't he have the rightful position as God's son. He'd been loyal and faithful to the Almighty, it only seemed fair. Weak and naive, Lucifer joined Evil and became what he is known as today: Satan. He walked the stairway into Heaven and confronted God, thus beginning the infamous war in Heaven.3
Realizing that He could not separate Evil from Lucifer, God cast Satan out of Heaven, and those that followed Satan. He created Hell and trapped Satan and his followers in the fiery pits, punishing them for defying Him. From that point forth, God knew that what was to come would happen. But this was something he's come to expect and he wanted human kind to have a choice. 4
But this isn't about religion or faith. It's not about who's right or wrong. It isn't even about whether or not to believe in the bible. This is about good vs evil. This is about right vs wrong. It's about fighting for what's left of humanity and what's worth fighting for: life. 5
Everything exists in a perfect balance. Good cannot exist without evil; love without hate; purity without sin and so on. And since these things exist together, the world can never be truly at peace. But when evil tries to upset the balance on Earth by setting forth demonic forces, a war of unbelievable chaos will ensue...
Author notes
Bear in mind that this prologue is not a direct attack against anyone and their beliefs. This is a story that is coming to life based on how this all began. I am setting up a world for this story to exist and this is how it works. So please, I am not telling anyone what to believe or how to interpret anything. If anyone has any suggestion, I am open to them. I would like to make this prologue better, but for now, I am setting the stage so to speak. I will be back with more soon.

I'll give you an honest read on this when I don't have to highlight it to read it. you need some contrast so people don't strain there eyes on it and can fully enjoy it. I'll leave a serious review in a bit once you help me out. Its pretty but , my god, pretty does not mean readable. xD

Section 3 line 3 seems like a run on sentence.
Section 3 line 5 the word "after" is ghastly misspelled.
I can get your feeling in this write, and it seems to flow rather well. Although your placement of the word "Demonic" towards the end is apt to refer too harshly and too stereotypical for your situation in my opinion. Demonic is a word of the church referring to devils and demons, deriving from the one cause they point fingers at; Lucifer. If your aiming to tell this as in a malicious force already exists don't play up to normal views on the matter and deem it demonic; but go with a more subtly dark term to infer into the implied maliciousness.
Overall I'd rate this as a 3.75 out of 5 on a rough copy. Not bad at all.
There are sections where you can imply terms or speak metaphorically to paint a more vivid picture rather than just telling us what happened. Bu this I mean start reading from the first to the last section and it starts finally start kicking up visually come the middle of the third part. The first whole section just seems like someones telling a narrative not like your experiencing it first hand. (Unless that was implied thoroughly before hand)
Hope that helps give some thought or ideas on the piece.

That should help clarify.

As I have said, I'm not rewriting the bible, nor do I have any intention of doing that. It's not in my place to. I'm merely setting a stage in which this story I am working on will exist and it's just an open interpretation because everyone feels differently. So please, feel free to continue believing in what you believe in. I'm not asking for you to believe any thing else. But bear in mind, this is a preface for my story, so I hope that it makes sense when I start adding more. Does that clarify this?

why must you clarify something for someone who couldn't read the info you stated? Tell them to re read your description and go on. But that's me and I'm an ass

Yes, thank you, dont worry. Good luck with your writing! >smiles<
