dolariReading one of my favorite "biblical" stories today, The First Book of Adam and Eve. It's essentially Biblical fan-fiction from the first century BC (with a few Christ passages added later), telling of Adam and Eve's life after the expulsion from the Garden.
I've always thought of Adam and Eve as "God Jr." in the garden. Not the humans we are today, but beings that were higher than angels, but not as lofty as their creator. And I think this story really delivers on the trials and tribulations of these celestial beings "translated" into humans, and experiencing their new world for the first time.
Their "Cave of Treasures" shows up in AWFW (albeit in name only, really) as Iskander's cave. He calls it that because it was a place for him and his treasures: his thoughts. I never got a chance to mention that - but I think I found a way to deliver that little plot point after what happens to him in this storyline.
