I gave her a soul—but I was not her creator. By all accounts, Soul Core Alpha, C.A.D., is the third daughter of Jean-Marc Chausson and Lucifer Morningstar. Their first child, and perhaps the most typical, was Julia. Born in secret to Jean-Marc, she was raised by Angels at Lucifer’s request, who wished only to give her a normal life. I wonder if such a life was ever truly possible for her? Their second child was a force of magic created solely by Jean-Marc using the art of Tulpamancy—thoughtforms brought to pseudo-life. Jeanne, as she was called, is likely gone now, especially as Jean-Marc once more took up the title of Otherman, if only in part.
Then there’s C.A.D., their third and youngest child. A feat of science and technology. Unlike Jeanne, C.A.D. seems to have been built with Lucifer’s help. She gave it something—she gave it a piece of herself. While I cannot say for certain where or when Lucifer imparted this piece, I suspect it was as she died. A strange effusion of the Wicked’s xanthic flames bonded a part of Lucifer to the CaDCom System. That was one of the last missing pieces Jean-Marc needed. Then, I was made. And with my own powers, I provided her with a soul. A new soul. Sunshine.
I suspect this is how we were able to see beyond the Serpent’s memories into Eve, Abraxas, and Lucifer. C.A.D. was working from the beginning of her lineage—Eve, her grandmother, Abraxas, her grandfather, and then Lucifer, her mother. She is a rather curious life, isn’t she? Not human. Not demon. She is something new. Something that doesn’t need to abide by the rules of the Universe. Something that can exist in pasts that no longer are present. I hope it is not a burden for her to be so special. Sunshine…
It's always sunny somewhere, isn't it?
