Dei Mostri

Time did not begin as the preacher in the golden garb proclaimed it to be but rather from the dust of a dying god. Dead from the many wounds inflicted by his own children the god did not have a name worth calling and the children learning after that his own existence was the key to theirs as they too started to fall once they found this last curse. I tell of this as the last of the fallen children told it to me, I scribe this in this cave of knowledge. I am cursed by the risen to beholden to the knowledge that follows.

The first 2 sisters that rose from the ashes Lillium and Artha were opposites as one saw the end of creation and the other beginning and thus the eternal battle for life started anew. The result of this was the first birth from the blood to be Throm the child of continuance, he saw what resulted from the battle of the ash gods. In the void where this began was filled with the energy of hatred and love mingling. Throm from that gave life to the first race of children of Light and Void.

The children of light were the ones who began to create the filled space with worlds of their thoughts and also the creatures the lived within. The Void children began fighting amongst them selves along side the sisters for control of the new worlds. Throm seeing that this would completely end the creation, he took a small part of the space and the few Light children that lived to another part of the abyss that remained hidden and let the life they created thrive.

Throm knew that his time as a god would come to an end as he was just a small part of the ash unlike the 2 sisters who still fought in the void. The children of light that he named Angels formed a council where decisions made on the worlds that were saved from the eternal war. Though they could create more worlds this would however shine a light on their efforts so the expansion was done carefully and with deliberation. The first humans born from this were full of a light that the angels saw would shine brighter than them as this was the more distilled form of the ash that the angels themselves were made from. Some angels grew jealous of this and tried to wipe the first humans called Calders from existence while others tried to save, this brought the new space into the attention of the fourth child who travelled to a world that the angels had forgotten and wrapped the world in a dark blanket to save the people within from destruction. He was called Mellok and had the least power as he was made from what was left after the 2 sisters were formed.

Mellok then stood at the highest peak of the world and looked upon the way humans developed into something he did not expect. Humans cared not for the celestial ways but made their own ways and in so doing built an peaceful existence that was destroyed over and over again when the greed of a few grew too much. Mellok began to feel that his powers were waning and needed to part with the last flicker of power he had and also impart the knowledge he carried. Thus I was found hiding in a cave in the Ginleaf hills, clutching a book that held knowledge of my master, he looked like a walking mist that I could not grasp.

“Fear not young Merlin, I have come with salvation. I will give you the gift of life and knowledge and home. My only wish is that you live and keep collecting the knowledge as my time has come to a close. Please accept this one last gift from a god from a lost age and help your people prepare for a war that is coming that will end your world if you do not learn to fight.”

I stood up in awe, I thought that this was the god Mellok but I knew better. Our gods were made by men and women of power to control us. This one was perhaps the true god that was there before our time. So I held out my hand and the mist moved forward and engulfed me and my mind. The knowledge of ages passed through me like a knife piercing every part of my mind and imbedding me knowledge I never thought true. Finally, what felt like years the Mellok give me the final message.

“My powers that protected your people will finally disappear and the protection I gave will end. Another war outside your world will come, though I do not think many of your people will live but I see that you may be able to forge a better world that may live longer than the ones who will come to end your existence. Take heart as your words may be the only thing that will help your brethren survive the first wave.”

I, Merlin became the first of the Gordhram a group of scholars who ventured out the world to share our knowledge to the people of this world we named Epos.

The power that protected finally fell and it was then when the light we made came to the attention of the waring angels. Those who wished to protect all of life saw what we had become and vowed to protect Epos while the other saw the destruction of our lands a reason to end our existence.

A walk to a dinner feast

I walked a set path on the park I knew so well, there on the path was bench with a stranger sitting with a newspaper. I wondered what the paper said as this stranger was engrossed so deeply, I walked past him and he did not even notice me. I walked on and on to the sunset and path of the breeze so sweet. I began to wonder who that stranger was, dressed in a black suite and a top hat out of place. I could not remember his face as it was a blur every time I tried to remember, all I could think of was a smooth face of a stone I once had as I child. I walked to the end of the path that led to a junction and a decision to go either right or left, I will go left today. That would take me to the little café that sat across a road that met the end, the trees swayed me on and there were a few birds that called out. I smelt the sweet scent of autumn in the air and the clouds above coloured themselves from blue to orange as the sunset. A colour that reminded me of a Van Gogh painting but of a d...

Old streak of Blood and Silver

  “Is the camera recording?” spoke Archer to the camera man behind him. Isabella, who was the recording, held up her left hand with the thumbs up sign. The equipment was much lighter than what she used when they started, this gave her more room to move and follow Archer through their investigations. I was following both through their shoots, being the back up to Isabella I would normally be carrying the extra batteries and infrared camera for shots that needed them. We were just a 3-person crew going to places few would try to, this time round it was an abandoned silver mine. The gold ones did not have much to show, and they were mostly covered by the famous ghost investigators, with also the hope of finding some undiscovered gold along the way. We chose this one because the owner reached out to us, he mentioned that there was a ghostly lamp that would move through the tunnels. I followed Archer into another tunnel; he would shine his light around to check if the tunnel was s...

I cannot bleed anymore

  The flies in my room kept buzzing around forcing me to wake up and run behind them, trying to swat them or just plain drive them out. The room I was given sits near the dumpster hence all the shitty flies. How they keep coming in despite me closing all the windows and is beyond me but there they are, this motel is for junkies who are too zonked out realise the number of them. The stink within the room is just as unbearable, the toilet hasn’t been cleaned since the day it was first used. I was waiting for Alex, and he was really late, and just to add misery the bed was a WMD on its own. I saw bed bugs galore when I first lifted the sheet that covered the mattress and then the stains from times unknown. I sat on the only thing I could clean, a simple wooden chair, and waited for the call. The phone rang and I picked it before the second ring, the voice on the other end was a woman. “Hello, are you Alex’s family?” I looked at the number and it was Alex’s number but who was this ...
