““Alyx was telling Israel about the Seraphim. “The Elders are the ones who existed Before. On the day it all changed, Between, the Elders were all summoned to Earth. They realized too late that it had been a trick. All of the celestial gates were locked behind them and they found themselves trapped on Earth. Lucifer had conjured up some kind of black magic, a magic that the Elders had never seen before. His magic didn’t work as he planned, though. He succeeded in locking the gates between this world and the Hell realm as well, so the demons were locked out. That was over two thousand years ago.””
