And Sin being Lucifer's daughter, created in Heaven -- I have no clue if you are using an existing mythology or have spun it yourself, but it fits so well with your story.
Credit for inspiration goes to Milton's Paradise Lost, whose invented (i.e., non-Biblical) depiction of the birth of Sin and her subsequent fate is one of the most lasciviously over-the-top revolting things I've ever read. It's also pure fanfic -- incorporating Greek mythology (in his version, Sin sprang from Lucifer's forehead the way Athena sprang from Zeus's) with his own gleefully grisly imagination. And it's all written with such fanfickish delight -- you can just tell how much Milton was enjoying himself.
I have to wonder if God's plan was to let things come to this pass
I think that it was.
Thanks for reading! I hope I can get the last chapter up sooner.
