Where it all began

Aawoot's and Baifin's reincarnation history went back a long way.

Before the Great Deluge, human civilization existed and the people possessed magic and technology not found in modern times. Cities were developed, and the cities went to war with each other. Some of them used their magic and technology to build cities in the sky that could not be seen from the ground. As the male population dwindled after the massive fatalities, there was a shortage of men for the overwhelming female population to marry. A large group of lonely and concerned women were endeavoring to solve that problem, so they sought the help of the technologically advanced sky cities to give them more men. The sky city then created homunculi using advanced sorcery to send them down to Earth to become mates for the remaining women.

They became so perfect that the remaining ordinary men became regarded as inferior and they sought help from the same sky empire to create women for the men who could not get a female companion. Eventually the perfect women appeared for all these men but they ended up fighting with the other women for the perfect men. Eventually a war broke out on both sides and almost all the original natural men and women were wiped out, leaving behind a new race of half-bloods, called Nephilim. The Nephilim society continued to thrive and make further progress with technology and sorcery and indulge in a lifestyle of sin, debauchery, violence, and injustice.

There was one remaining group of natural men and women that still survived and stayed out of the wars and lived among the Nephilim who remained. Some members of the sky empire regretted their actions by cleansing the earth of this mud blood population, but they could not bear to wipe out 1 human cluster that remained good and nice people. The leader of the group is called Noah and he instructed him to build an ark for his family and selected species of earth creatures onto the ark, saying that a flood will be sent to destroy all of wicked mankind. Eventually he built the ark and brought his whole family and species of earth animals and let the deluge drown the rest of Nephilim civilization. Eventually the flood subsided and they settle down on a continent where they reestablished their civilization. This civilization is what we know today as Pangaea, and in the center of it, the Babylon Empire was founded. When the empire was being built, several beings from the Sky Empire came down to help reestablish the kingdom. Several generations after, the Babylon Empire was ruled by a descendant of Noah, called Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh wanted to be stronger and more powerful, so the sky people helped him become stronger by putting him through a ritual to remove his weaknesses. That included moral fiber and a sense of humanity, otherwise summarized as one word: conscience.

The "weakness" was cast away by the sky people after the ritual, but it took a physical form somewhere outside the kingdom, out in the wild, whose name is Enkidu.

A human creature took form in a forest far away from the kingdom and grew up to be a man of the forest. He was friends with animals in the forest, and associated with the higher beings of nature.

As the water subsided after the flood, more plots of dry land on which the ruins of previous civilizations still stood, had emerged, and given the language skills that he was somehow born with, he managed to understand what others were saying, about the emergence of ruins from the old worlds. He learned something very interesting. There are altogether seven cities and each city was infamous for the degree to which each of the 7 deadly sins were committed. Each city was ruled by a different King, who named their countries after themselves. Lucifer was the king of the country of pride, Mammon was the king of the country of avarice, Asmodeus was the king of the country of lust, Satan was the king of the country of anger, Beelzebub was the king of the country of gluttony, Leviathan was the king of the country of envy, and Belphegor was the king of the country of sloth.

One day, while exploring new areas outside the forest he lived in, he saw someone peculiar. He had never seen a woman in his life, much less a beautiful one. She appeared to be running about at a speed beyond any human or beast known to him. He followed her to find out more. What he didn't realize that she was going down to the ruins of the 7 cities to retrieve the energy sources that powered the 7 cities that once thrived with prosperity, violence, and debauchery. Those were the legendary Glory Stars, and there were 7 of them, each for 1 city.

He stalked her to find out more about her and the things she did. Those ruins were no-man's land and they were fraught with booby traps and security robots that were built by the Nephilim who were already dead by then.

Eventually she noticed him and they formed a friendship as he helped her to retrieve the Glory Stars from the ruins and fight off the last of their mechanical contraptions. They developed a relationship which eventually turned very physical when he brought her back to the forest he lived.

After learning the ways of the civilized world, he could not stay with his friends who were spirits and beasts of the forest, and he went to the city of Babylon which was ruled by Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh was a tyrant who would insist that every woman who gets married have sex with him before the groom. Enkidu could not take it and he challenged Gilgamesh to a duel. After a fierce fight, they became good friends, and they went hunting together. They even went out of the kingdom to confront and capture a powerful beast, a "Flood Dragon Huwawa" that was sent by the Sky Empire to send the flood that destroyed the rest of mankind apart from the family of Noah. The Flood Dragon was frozen and brought back to the palace in pieces. However, their time spent as friends was short lived. Enkidu slowly faded away and returned to Gilgamesh to become his conscience.

The name of the girl whom Enkidu met and followed on her adventure, was Shamhat. She was actually a goddess called Ishtar who descended from the Sky Empire down to Earth to take on a mortal form adopting the identity of Ishtar's priestess. Her physical relationship with Enkidu actually restored Enkidu's body back to Gilgamesh. Eventually Gilgamesh and Ishtar married and the 7 Glory Stars were her gift to him.

Gilgamesh wanted to challenge the so called entity called "God" that his ancestors talked about. He decided to build a tower so high that it would reach into heaven.

The Glory Stars were supposed to be used to provide power for the construction of the tower which is supposed to go above the Sky Empire and into heaven where he can meet God.

Eventually the energy reaction from the Glory Stars went haywire and the language skills of the people became confused, and that was the start of people speaking different languages and dividing themselves into different groups based on those languages, and the construction of the Tower of Babel came to a grinding halt.

The reaction also resulted in the mutation of the frozen Flood Dragon Huwawa captured by Enkidu and Gilgamesh that was used as a sacrificial catalyst for the reaction. Its frozen body which was in pieces melted and merged together to form the Ruby Dragon, and it created a dimensional portal and entered into it, never to emerge again.

It was said to be the precursor to Darkrealm, where demons from hell adopt physical mortal forms with lives that are longer than that of ordinary human beings.

After that, Gilgamesh and Ishtar also ascended to the Sky Empire and disappeared, and thus the reign of Gilgamesh over Babylon came to an end.

What was left of the Glory Stars were drained and eventually taken back to the Sky Empire.

Apart from that, the Sky Empire had 2 gems, one for providing power in the day which was the gem of the sun, and another for providing power at night which was the gem of the moon. The 7 gems were added to these 2 gems to provide power for the Sky Empire.

From then on, Gilgamesh and Ishtar changed their names to Angel Adonis and Angel Venus, respectively.

They left their past behind and lived freely, and loved each other passionately, emotionally, and physically.

This mode of loving each other was a way to generate energy.

Having nine gems was still unstable, so another gem was necessary.

As a result, their intense lovemaking produced the 'soul' gem, which became the 10th gem, which provided the Sky Empire with power for thousands of years.

The people of the Sky Empire did not bother the surface people for a long time, until much later, when demigods from the surface stole a fragment of the power source of the Sky Empire including the Glory Stars which were refashioned to create the powerful Bridestones that held immense magical power sought for centuries.

**********************************

Much later, Earth entered an era called the age of the gods. It was an era whereby the top forty percent of the human race gained access to an unlimited source of power, developed very advanced technology, and gained immortality.

These group of humans were eventually referred to as gods, remembered only by humans today in Greek, Roman, Norse, and mythologies of other countries. The Thunder God of Mt Olympus, Zeus, ruled over all the "gods" in all these mythologies at Mt Olympus which is located in a country we know today as Greece. Their eternal life and powers were sustained by a magical stone called the Ambrosia.

The gods possessed immense supernatural power. They had the power to turn flesh into stone, turn stone into bread, control the weather, and transform into ferocious beasts. With the new power and technology, they also played god by creating other forms of creatures and letting them loose into the realm of the mortals, causing many mortal men and women to suffer. In some of the experiments spearheaded by an alchemist called Belphegor, evil spirits were used in some of the experiments to create a race of evil beings called demons. Meanwhile, these "gods", being "human" in nature, descended into power corruption and debauchery, mass philandering with humans, demons, demigods, elves and nymphs which created many supernatural offspring that were either superhuman beings or man-eating poisonous beasts. Some stood up for justice.

Some abused their powers either for their own gain or simply out of malice. Some were so arrogant that they assumed the roles of judges and punishers of human immorality or the immorality of other gods. Some did so by transforming ordinary humans into hideous beasts, such as the gorgons who could petrify any human being who looked into their eyes.

With their powers, they also established kingdoms on other planets in the solar system all the way from Venus to Pluto, including the moon. Since no human mortal has ever set foot on any of these planets, only the immortals lived there. Venus, the goddess of beauty established her kingdom on the Planet Venus, thus the planet became named as Venus. Likewise for other planets in the solar system that were occupied by immortals of the same name.

Rhea, the mother of Zeus, who was one of the goddesses created from the earlier generation of humans blessed by the Ambrosia, was dismayed at the state of things in the mortal world caused by the immortals, and sought to create a new kind of being using the Ambrosia. She needed to find out what the human body and soul lacked in order to engineer a new kind of human being which was superior to the gods, angels, demons, and ferocious beasts. The new kind of being needed to retain a human touch to have compassion for the weak and powerless mortal humans, and yet have strong resistance against any form of entrapment by evil forces.

The new kind of being had to be demonic enough to understand sin and sympathize with sinners or victims of sins, yet be angelic enough to appreciate the beauty of purity. The new kind of being had to possess beauty that would put the most handsome and beautiful gods and goddesses to shame, desired by all mortals and immortals who saw it. She envisioned this being to be a new kind of human being that would walk the earth after all of humanity were to be destroyed by their own sins one day during the "apocalypse", otherwise known as the "end of the world".

This new being would be called the "novagel", which was meant to be a new generation of angels. She created a pair of novagels. One male, one female. The male was created first, and the female was created from his rib, just like how Adam and Eve were formed. However, she was not satisfied with the results. Both boy and girl were less than average in terms of intelligence, character, abilities, and physical attributes. Everything was perfect, but the perfect traits were hidden inside the babies and could not be harnessed, leaving them slightly below the average human in terms of intelligence, character, abilities, and physical attributes.

When a human being was turned into a god, he had to bathe in the light of the giant Ambrosia gem to release his hidden talents that were supposed to fix his flaws. A person who lacked charisma was to have his charisma unleashed. A person who was tone-deaf was to have his tone-deafness replaced with an outstanding aptitude for music. A person who lacked linguistic ability was supposed to turn into a linguist overnight. Character flaws were supposed to be fixed. So, what went wrong?

Apparently, the god-creation process was sabotaged along the way when the alchemist Belphegor introduced black magic into his experiments. Gods created after that descended into all kinds of vices. Philandering, mass murder, or just hurting mortals for amusement by abusing their magic etc.

Rhea had to find a way to release the hidden potential in the new species of human-like beings. Using the power of the Ambrosia, she created nine gems, each commanding an element essential in creating matter. Sun, moon, fire, water, electricity, wind, earth, dimension, and illusion. She named the first two stones the Day and Night stones, and the remaining stones as Genesis Stones. She bathed the two babies in the radiation of the nine gems in the endeavor of making them perfect-bodied all-rounder superior elite humans. The power of the nine gems was supposed to invoke the nine hidden unconscious personalities called "Elemental Personas" from within them and merge them with their conscious personality, or "Primary Persona". All nine elemental personas complement each other, and when awakened, shall merge with the primary persona to create a more complete human being, in terms of intelligence, skills, natural abilities, health, and physical attributes.

However, an accident happened.

The nine gems became unstable, and suddenly the gems and the two babies vanished.

What happened was this: The elemental personas, instead of merging with the primary persona of the babies, were dislodged from the souls of the babies, and became eighteen separate different individuals, and they were randomly teleported to different locations around the world. This divided the two babies into twenty individuals who were transported to different parts of the world to be found and brought up separately in twenty different families.

The male baby with the primary persona was called Endymion, and lived on Earth. The female baby with the primary persona was called Selene, and she lived on the moon.

Endymion was a human who was known to be a descendant of one of the gods, but he was neither king nor shepherd. Yes he was a King, but a King of his own world. His family was well to do, so he did not need to worry about food. He just loved to enjoy. He loved the company of women, the taste of good food and wine, and idling. He was handsome, but because he lived in his own world and had difficulty conveying thoughts and ideas in a coherent manner, he had difficulty winning the heart of any fair maiden he fancied, let along physically obtaining them. However, he didn't mind. He lived in an imaginary world where whoever he fancied was already his, where he was already a hero and king admired by the world. In reality, he was a dreamer and a nobody. The ladies he mingled with all had one complaint, namely - his eyes didn't seem to meet with theirs even though they wandered about the other parts of their bodies. His body was there but his mind was distant.

His preoccupation with his imaginary world went deeper. He developed an obsession with the moon and the idea that a beautiful goddess lived there.

The truth was, he was aware that he was living in his own world. He had never confused reality with fantasy. He knew that whatever he dreamt of were dreams. However, one day when he was dreaming in the forest while looking at the moon, what he saw made him start to suspect that a character from his fantasy world had crossed over to the real world.

What he saw, was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. After seeing her, he was very sure he wouldn't dream of any other woman again. This woman was real. She looked at him and spoke to him. The meeting felt real. The conversation sounded real.

And the physical consummation, also seemed very real.

The woman he just dated and made love to was Selene, the goddess of the moon who traveled down to Earth because she was bored of life in her palace on the moon. In other stories told about Selene, she was seduced by a satyr, a lecherous being with the lower body of a goat. This was actually a story to parody Endymion's conquest of Selene. Selene actually felt deeply in love with him ever since and could not forget him. It turned out that she was the female baby with the primary persona.

Endymion retreated into a cave, which was his secret hideout to hide away from the real world. He did nothing but dream about her, and recall that pleasurable night. It felt so real. Was it a dream?

That was when Selene, the moon goddess, visited him again.

Nothing much was told about their night encounters, except that Selene asked Zeus to give him eternal youth so that she would never leave him. However, that was only the tip of the iceberg since people who sneaked into his unguarded cave only saw him sleeping, and Selene descending from above to visit him. What they managed to see after that was that the two lovers were enveloped in mist that shrouded them from view, which gave the cave interlopers no choice but to leave.

Yes, Endymion slept all the time, but when she visited, he woke up. She danced in front of him and teased him before they copulated. They did this for 1001 nights, in another dimension isolated from the physical world. In this dimension, 1001 nights passed in this dimension, but only one day passed in the real world.

During the first 91 nights, he copulated with no one else but her. But in the next 91 nights, Selene transformed into another girl. It was one of the girls whom he had liked in real life and fantasized about but did not obtain in reality. It was only on the 91st night as this girl that Selene explained to Endymion that the girl whom he had a crush on in real life was actually a clone of hers who was a personification of an aspect of Selene's personality that developed a will of her own and went astray.

However, unknown to Endymion, his own appearance also changed to that of another person (someone who was a "clone" of him and was also a personification of a certain hidden personality of his). On that same night, both of them shape-shifted again, and the cycle repeated for another 91 nights, until the 910th night when both Selene and Endymion evolved into their full forms, where Endymion was a complete handsome man who was in touch with all his other personalities, and Selene was a complete beautiful goddess who was in touch with all her other personalities. From novagels, they have evolved into novas.

After the 1001st night, they had fully gotten in touch with their "lost" or "hidden" personalities, and evolved into their complete forms. Following that, they satisfyingly consummated their relationship with each other during the last 91 days.

From then on, their nights were complete and perfect, since they had no more "unfinished business (lingering affections for third parties)". And that was how Endymion lived the rest of his life. Sleeping, and then waking up only to make love with the goddess of the moon every night. Whenever they made love, they generated a form of creative energy that created a world outside our physical reality.

Once they have generated enough energy to create the world, whenever they slept, they woke up in another world which they ruled. This world was known by many names as told by many storywriters, such as Märchenland, Neverland, Wonderland, dream land, etc. He lived for another 150 years, because that was when the Moon Kingdom where she lived was destroyed during a cataclysm (also known as the Ragnarok) that destroyed all the "gods and goddesses". This cataclysm was presumably brought about by the mysterious disappearance of the Ambrosia. The gods were weakened and made mortal, giving a chance for the ordinary humans to fight back with the technology they had developed to fight and drive out the gods. They raided the kingdom on the moon and reduced the moon's surface to a barren wasteland, which resulted in the death of Endymion through the death of Selene (his non-aging and non-dying was tied to Selene's immortal existence).

The two novas, Endymion and Selene, were reborn in that new world and they gave themselves new names, Jonas Liondor Wonderwall and Amber Desiree Monaphrodiva, respectively. In their divine language at that time, this meant "Gentle Courageous Guardian" and "Warm Hearted Goddess of Love", respectively. Both lived in Märchenland as lovers for many centuries, until a disaster turned them against each other, causing them to destroy each other and split from their elemental personas. They were reborn on Earth and reincarnated for many generations, merging with a separate elemental persona in each lifetime, till today. In recent times, all twenty novagels were reunited by fate, and formed a team of ninjas to fight the evil forces plaguing mankind.

When Liondor and Monaphrodiva were living in Marchenland and they had a major fight with each other and destroyed each other, it was the Metatron Fleet that summoned their souls for a ritual to allow them to be reincarnated throughout a series of lifetimes and sometimes their souls travel in time to be reincarnated on Earth so that the trials and tribulations they go through would help their souls gain maturity and enable them to evolve into higher beings.

The Metatron were a fleet of extra-terrestrial beings watching over humanity even before the Great Deluge, and they travelled round the Earth in flying saucer-like ships with the purpose of studying the earth and protecting it from external space invaders while remaining invisible in the sky, using a technology called "Biomechanical Technology" which is another word for "mechanical lifeforms" or "life in machines". They were originally from the Sky Empire, and they left Earth after they could not get along with the Sky Empire government at that time after a while.

Eventually a part of their fleet settled down in Asgardia where they continued to monitor the realms and Earth itself. The people of Asgardia and Midgardia were very loyal to the incarnations of Liondor and Monaphrodiva because they were the creator of the realms.

After many years there was nothing left of the Sky Empire. Even the structures in the sky were destroyed.

A member of the Metatron Fleet in present day, Clotho, sought out Baifin's help, to see if they can help restore the balance of good and evil in the world, since there were no more angels to regulate the good and evil on Earth, and human beings were becoming more evil. Otherwise there will be a disaster that is set to wipe out a large fraction of humanity, and the COVID19 pandemic was only the beginning.

This was because, the Metatron Fleet members were preparing to let humanity be wiped out and expose the demons and make them vulnerable.

That was why Baifin proceeded to seek out Aawoot and make her part of his team to continue this fight against the hidden demons of humanity.
