They met
upon the crest of the hill in the shade of a great apple tree overlooking the
sea. Lilith moved up beside the old woman wearing a similar aged human form
herself. A sign of respect or mockery, it mattered little now.
‘I never truly believed he had died all those years ago and
to think the world will remember him aged only to 930’
Lilith
tapped her old human nose with a finger ‘We know better’
‘I take it you come here for vengeance’ she spoke softly.
Lilith was
silent a while looking down upon the grave.
‘My revenge died with him, we were never enemies you and I,
rivals perhaps’ she smiled ‘I came to say it is done between us now sister’
She stayed beside his grave long after Lilith left faithful
wife that she was and deep within the apple tree even a serpent bowed its head
in respect.
