When Percivel excused himself and Noelle began to peruse hiss books she found as would be expected a collection that rivaled her father's. But soon one book captured her full attention. It was called The Book of Nod and was a sort of alternative version of the bible. It was an enthralling tale that began with the story of Adam and Eve like Genesis in the bible. Only in this version Eve was Adam's second wife. His first wife was named Lilith and she and Adam quarreled over the fact he would not let her be on top during sex.<br/><br/>The Book of Nod then went on to the tale of Caine and Able. Apparently, after slaying Able and being cursed Caine became a nocturnal, blood drinking being. He then went on to sire thirteen progeny and each of those progeny gave rise to a clan of their own. These Antediluvian of course were all born well before Noah's flood. The book was engrossing and carried on despite the fact that the Church would be utterly appalled at such a text.
