[Followed. That's fine, but then comes the shoe's anticipated fall. Alucarrd breathes out, and he takes a sip of the whiskey.]

That one. Sypha would have been the better person to speak with you about this, given the nature of her people and how they preserve stories.

[But Alucard has to do for now. He leans back in his chair, considering.]

So let's say the story is the baseline and everything branches off from there, since I assume we're dealing with other worlds. In the predominant monotheistic religion, a god created the earth, and made one man and one woman to populate the earth. They had two sons, Cain and Abel. The point of the story isn't the logistics at play here though, it's fratricide. Cain gardens, Abel is a shepherd, and as worship goes, they both offer some of what they work with naturally. The god involved prefers meat, Cain gets jealous, kills his brother in anger.

[There's a pause. Alucard is no story teller, but he knows there should be a pause.] The god involved disapproves of fratricide and curses Cain with a mark of some sort that marks him as a fratricide. He also cannot be harmed by any others. What became of Cain - for example, if not even the god involved could kill him - is a matter of debate.
