Cain's Bloody Tribute
In the primordial tapestry of human history, spun within the very fabric of creation, lies a tale of unyielding strife. It is the story of Abel and Cain, two sons of Adam and Eve, whose fates were forever entwined. While Cain, the elder, cultivated the land with grudging adherence to his father's command, Abel, the younger, offered his heart and soul before the divine through a unblemished offering of animals. This crimson act of piety, a testament to Abel's devotion, would ultimately become the catalyst for brotherly bloodshed. Cain, consumed by envy and resentment, could not bear the weight of his brother's righteousness.
- Driven by dark thoughts, he chose a path of violence that would forever stain the annals of history.
Consequently, Abel's crimson offering became a symbol, a poignant reminder of the ever-present threat that lurks within the human heart.
