Lilith Asker/Relationship

## Relationships

### Alice/Aponi

Lilith, formerly known as Charlotte, had always been cognizant of her celestial nature and the superiority it granted her over mortals. Her long life had afforded her wisdom and experiences beyond human comprehension, leading to a natural sense of detachment from the ephemeral struggles of mortal life. When she encountered Alice, later known as Aponi, she initially perceived her as just another human, bound by the limitations of mortality and lacking the profound understanding that celestial beings possessed.

Despite Charlotte's inherent belief in her own superiority, there was something about Aponi that caught her attention. Aponi's unique sense of individuality and the courage she displayed in questioning the teachings of the cult intrigued Charlotte. She saw in Aponi a spark of independent thought, a trait rarely observed in most humans who blindly followed the doctrines of the cult. This intrigued her, and for the first time, Charlotte found herself curious about a mortal's mind.

In the guise of a human named Dorothy, Charlotte approached Aponi and engaged her in conversations that delved into the depths of her thoughts and dreams. She admired Aponi's desire for freedom and the simplicity of her wish to fly with wings, unbound by the constraints of mortal existence. Yet, despite finding Aponi's perspective refreshing, Charlotte couldn't help but view her as a fascinating but limited creature.

As Charlotte spent more time with Aponi, her curiosity deepened, and she became somewhat entertained by the young girl's struggles and aspirations. The mortal ideals and dreams that consumed Aponi were foreign to Charlotte, and she saw them as trivial in the grand scheme of the universe. To her, Aponi was like an amusing pet, a creature of limited intellect and perspective, but one that she could observe and interact with in her otherwise uneventful existence.

Despite her feelings of superiority and amusement, Charlotte also saw Aponi as no ordinary sinner. In the confines of the cult, Aponi stood out as a free spirit, unafraid to question the teachings and doctrines imposed upon her. She didn't blindly accept the church's oppressive ways, and her ability to see beyond the indoctrination impressed Charlotte.

In a way, Aponi became a reminder to Charlotte of the vast gap between the divine and mortal realms. The young girl's innocence and her ability to find meaning and hope in the simplest of things was both intriguing and perplexing to the celestial being. Charlotte's mind was filled with cosmic knowledge and an awareness of the insignificance of mortal lives in the grand tapestry of creation, yet Aponi's determination to seek freedom within her limited existence challenged this worldview.

While Charlotte felt a strange fondness for Aponi's uniqueness, she couldn't shake her belief that mortals, including Aponi, were inherently inferior beings. This sense of superiority was ingrained in her celestial nature and had been reinforced by centuries of existence, making it difficult for her to truly relate to Aponi as an equal.

In a world where free will seemed scarce, Aponi's defiance of the cult's oppressive practices was a breath of fresh air for Charlotte. Yet, she struggled to understand why someone would cling to their individuality and aspirations when everything seemed transient and futile in the face of eternity.

As Charlotte's journey continued, she faced internal conflicts about her relationship with Aponi. She knew her feelings of attachment and amusement were contradictory to her celestial nature, but she couldn't deny the impact Aponi had on her perspective. Aponi's friendship and unwavering trust challenged Charlotte to question her own actions and beliefs, leading her to reevaluate her role in the lives of mortals and the significance of individual connections in the grand design of the universe.

In the end, Charlotte's relationship with Aponi remained a complex tapestry of conflicting emotions, where admiration, superiority, and a strange fondness intertwined. As she sought the Primordial Deities in search of meaning and purpose, she hoped to find clarity and reconcile the dichotomy of her feelings towards Aponi and her place in the cosmos.
