The True Light

NARRATOR:

"In the beginning, there was only the void. A universe without form, without light, without sound. But within that lonely vastness existed a being of infinite power. No one knew where He came from or when He appeared. He simply... was.

For countless eras He remained alone, wrapped in darkness and absolute silence. But then, a desire grew within Him-a desire to create, to illuminate, to fill the emptiness with something beyond Himself.

And so, He raised His hand and, with a single thought, lit the stars. They appeared like blazing torches in the infinite expanse, banishing the shadows so they could never again rule His creation. The void became a stage of light and beauty.

Yet even surrounded by such splendor, loneliness persisted. And then He created beings to love-beings who reflected His glory, His purity, His immortal essence. He created the angels.

They were perfect. Beings made of light and devotion, destined to serve and worship, to spread His will across the newborn universe. Each was born with a purpose, each had a place in the grand design.

And among all angels, there were four who received a special place beside the Creator, God, the celestial princes. At the heart of Heaven, within the great golden palace, the Creator cherished them as precious children: Gabriel, Raphael, Michael... and Samael.

But even in the realm of perfection, the story was still unwritten. And the fate of these brothers would change forever..."

Inside God's palace room, God gently brushed Gabriel's hair. The small angel squirmed, impatient.

Gabriel: "Father, why do we always have to get ready? It's boring..."

God smiled at His child's innocence and replied serenely:

God: "Because we must keep a good appearance for those who admire us."

Samael, sitting beside them, lifted his chin proudly.

Samael: "Exactly! We need to be impeccable so they know who stands above them."

Gabriel frowned, uneasy.

Gabriel: "But... they're our brothers too..."

Before he could finish, Samael shrugged.

Samael: "So what? We're still better than them."

God knelt, placing a prince's crown softly on Samael's head.

God: "It's not like that, Light. We are not better than anyone. We are all part of one creation. We simply have different roles."

Michael, sitting on the floor playing with Raphael, laughed.

Michael: "Haha! Samael and his obsession with being more important than everyone."

Samael jumped onto the couch, hand on his chest proudly.

Samael: "But I AM more important! Without me you'd never have light! I am the morning star!~ the one and the first-"

Raphael interrupted, blinking innocently.

Raphael: "But... didn't the light come from Father?"

Samael's smile faltered. He hesitated.

Samael: "Ah... yes... but it came from me too!"

God chuckled, lifting Samael and placing him gently on the floor.

God: "Haha, alright, alright, little lantern. Now, let us go. Today is a special day."

He took their tiny hands and led them out. Outside, the celestial palace gleamed and a gathering of angels celebrated. The gates opened. God and the young princes stepped onto the grand balcony. They smiled and waved as the angels cheered with joy.

God: "Today is a special day. The day Heaven was born. Our first anniversary!"

The crowd erupted in celebration.

The next day, the four brothers prepared for their duties. Samael and Michael tried to sneak away while God's back was turned. But God, knowing everything, spoke without looking:

God: "And where do you think you're going?"

(turns to them)

"Hm, little ones?"

Michael (awkward laugh): "We were just going to play a little."

God: "It is not playtime. It is time for your tasks. Don't you want to discover your purposes for the future? For that, you must pass the tests."

Samael: "We know, we know... those boring trainings..."

Michael: "But Father, let us play just a little?"

God sighed, softened by Michael's sweet look.

God: "Very well. You may go, but only for a little."

The two lit up and ran off. God looked at Gabriel and Raphael

God: "You may go as well."

They followed excitedly.

Scene: Garden of Heaven

Outside, Samael and Michael ran joyfully. The garden was vast: green fields, a bright sky, gentle light reflecting from the palace.

Samael lay beneath a tree. Michael sat beside him.

Michael: "It's such a beautiful day~ and He still wants us to waste it training, haha..."

Samael (relaxed, gazing at the scenery): "Yes... almost too beautiful."

Michael: "You know, we're lucky to live like this."

Samael: "We're lucky to be princes."

Michael rolled his eyes and laughed, standing up.

Michael: "You're lucky to have me~. What would you be without me?"

Samael: "A lot, actually~"

Michael: "I doubt it. Come on, let's play!"

Samael: "But we still have duties to do..."

Michael: "We'll go while playing."

Samael sighed and stood.

Samael: "Fine... but don't blame anything on me later!"

Michael laughed, and music began.

🎶"That boy is such a bad influence on him

Just by watching, I can already tell"🎶

Michael (singing firmly in front of the palace, staring at angels around him):

🎶"I'll say it one last time

I'm tired of your whispers

I warned you, don't trigger

I already told you, behave or you're gonna see

Shut your mouth

My brother is no joke

No one talks about my brother..."🎶

Michael: "Where did he go?"

(Samael steps away quietly, afraid of punishment for Michael's boldness)

Samael, (alone):

🎶"Even if they all say they love me

I don't feel I belong here

I feel I don't fit in this order..."🎶

Choir, softly:

🎶"Different...

Different...

Different..."🎶

Transition - teens (~15-16 years old)
