First Earth Part 4
         by Timmy G.
Page 1 of 1

~In the begining TIAMAT had created everything, the skys, the earth, even had she molded the Gods themselves. At first, she had so loved her creations that she begat her first counterpart, ADPA.

The elder of the Gods ENKI, master of magicians grew so red with envy and anger that he tricked his young, yet brave son and warrior MARDUK into beleiving that she was planning to murder her offspring. MARDUK armed himself & begun the attack, he murdered ADPA & stalked the trail of my mother TIAMAT. TIAMAT enraged with anger decided that there be no choice but to call up shadows and monsters from the darkest corners of her original creation. She & KINGU were wed, and they were eventualy both murdered during her pregnancy with me still in her womb. There were all of us dead in the underworld, 'till MARDUK begun fashioning human beings from my father KINGU'S blood.

This gave me the oppertunity I needed to surface on earth, able to mingle unnoticed. It had been sometime later after the ones faithfull to the rule of MARDUK that some nameless God, though rumored to be ENKI himself, seized control and slandered our religion, thus crediting himself for the creation. MARDUK rebelled, but was overpowered and cast down unto what would become the second underworld, called HELL.

~It was like driving a stake through my heart to see my mothers tears flow. I tryed to remind her that these mortals, being my brothers, sisters and cousins be her children as well, but she would hear no such thing. It was an impossible choice I had to make, either betray mine mother or see my bloodline die off. I curse ENKI for this, because now she truely does want to murder them all. She wants to murder the mortals, then attack the gates of ENKI'S palace and kingdom. Though I be all for the attack against ENKI, I cannot stand the thought of losing my family of mortals. However, ENKI had been quite clever in his takeover, that he knew once the mortals had been formed, that none may reach his gates lest the mortals become extinct.

~I did what I knew I must regardless of ENKI'S trechory, I saught the only honest family I could find with open mind. I found them in the northern most regions of the new world, newly weds devoted to religion of the earth, fertile and ready to spawn. I spent as much time with them as time would allow, teaching them the great history of our bloodline. I carried them to the furthest corner of the universe to a planet spawned identical to the first earth, a "clone" if you will. It had been a top secret scientific experament created some time ago that they had thought dissolved itself when it had dissapeared. But it had been my doing, I was afraid this day would come & thus brought it here.

~(Tonight rests I well), as she will never find them here....
