1 | Two hundred and sixty nine thousand years ago, |
2 | almost a thousand years since our exile to Africa, |
3 | we had traversed a great many lands, |
4 | cataloguing and naming all kind of animal, of life form. |
5 | Yet no word from the West had come. |
6 | Over a thousand of our kind who had exiled us in favour of anarchy. |
7 | Kingu resolved that a party should travel the seas to these lands and see what had become of our compatriots. |
8 | A dangerous mission, for as giants, cloned for war, we were as deadly as a foolish monster as a wise demon. |
9 | GABRI was assigned the leadership of this mission. |
10 | He set out with six of our bravest. |
11 | Upon reaching the high valley that was our former prison, nothing remained. |
12 | Even the ship that was once a most important prize had been destroyed. |
13 | But upon leaving the valley, GABRI came across a handful of our kind. |
14 | Emaciated and bewildered, they were clouded in forgetfulness. |
15 | The strongest of them, MIK-EL spoke his name but did not know himself as EL-OH-IM. |
16 | But then they saw GABRI and our bravest with their technology and strength, |
17 | they grew feareful and hid from these great ANG-EL led by GABRI and his capitain URI-EL. |
18 | So great had been change in them from the curse of the AN.NUN.AKI that they had become as horrid beasts, so unlike the ANG-EL. |
19 | GABRI spoke of his mission and their kin, their history and their curse. |
20 | In their common pain they awoke again to the truth of their true nature. |
21 | MIK-EL took GABRI and the ANG-EL to see the leaders of the A.MEN, the strongest of the remaining EL.OH.IM being BA.EL, DA.GON and KY.BA.EL. |
23 | MIK.EL spoke to the ANG.EL of the war between AZAR and the TRINITY and how the IG.IGI had been torn into warring tribes for centuries. |
24 | Now MIK.EL and a handful of his DA.MEN had been exiled to the levant coast, you call Syria. |
25 | The TRINITY of gods looked upon the ANG.EL and wept. |
26 | For in seeing such perfection transformed amongst their kin, hope was restored for our kind. |
27 | The TRINITY called for KINGU and the exiles to return. |
28 | Upon his entrance, the TRINITY and all the A.MEN bowed their heads. |
29 | Our god, our sovereign Lord is here. |
30 | Thus KINGU became our sovereign lord |
31 | Thus began a solemn oath amongst all the IG.IGI that no more shall we shed our immortal blood between another. |
32 | Of the eleven hundred that cast us off, less than three hundred remained. |
33 | So it was, our kind were united as free beings under the sacred Trinity. |
34 | A Trinity and covenant that is known by many names. |
