"Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"—therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man, and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life."

With this, he, Cain, was cursed to be a fugitive and Vagabond of the earth.
With Cain cursed to live an immortal life, with the guilt of killing his brother, he sought revenge against God. He thought God was evil, so he made a deal with the Devil. The Punisher of Evil. Lucifer Morningstar.
And that is where the story began.
