And in the process of time it came to pass that the Gardener and the Clone did come to perceive their loss of innocence as an emergence from Darkness and Ignorance. So it was that they then entered into an Age of Knowledge and Light where all things were knowable and all things were possible.

Secure were they in The Certain Knowledge that all fruit were theirs for the picking and all creatures theirs to kill.

Yet even in this time of Enlightenment the recollection of the shame of their nakedness and the role of Serpent never quite left them. Also was there a lingering resentment in the mind of the Gardener, as he would forever know the Clone to be the cause of his fall from grace. So it was that he did strive that never again should she gain power over him.

It didn’t work of course.
