The Third Eye


The silhouette moved and placed its feet on the floor and stood up straight. The person turned towards Azrail and a red light appeared from where that man's forehead was between both his eyes.

There was a sudden increase in pressure around the new figure that emerged from the egg and the fog began to settle in the pressure. All the brothers were dropped down to their knees forcefully unable to bear the force that man exerted. They barely managed to keep their consciousness.

Mother was in discomfort too, but she was strong enough to remain standing. They knew instantly that their father was reborn and he was furious. Brahman came and stood in front of them. This was the first time that they saw him in a humanoid form. He stood tall in front of them with his wide chest and broad shoulders. He had long locks of jet black hair up to his shoulders.

His face had a displeased expression and on his forehead was a vertical third eye, glowing red and radiating heat. His small lips parted and a resounding voice echoed all around the world like thunder.

"You have not only defied my wisdom but you also dared to destroy my precious creation to such extent," he raged.

"But father its only because--" Azrail said with a trembling voice.

"Silence, you defy me and then you dare explain yourself!" he asked furiously.

He continued, "I gave free will to all beings in my creation so that they can exercise their freedom and rights, not so that they can steal someone else's right."

While he was being recreated, the whole planet shook, but now under the stress of his rage the whole multi-verse began to vibrate. Doom was imminent unless something was done to quell the creators rage.

Mother spoke, "My lord, this entire creation is a part of you, just as your sons and I am. Your son was blinded by his love for you. Although what he did was wrong, his intentions were what any dutiful son would have for his father."

Only Mother had the strength to stand in his presence and only she had the sense to reason with him.

She said, "I plead to you, not to destroy our creations as they are all my children. Do not punish the innocent because of one of your children's fault."

"So be it," said Brahman as he began to calm down, "For disrupting the flow of nature as I had devised and for disregarding my words you solely will be punished. No longer will you be a part of my heavenly assembly and your responsibilities towards my world are hence forth taken away from you. You will be confined to this planet and be forced to spend eternity with the humans whom you despise so much. Think about the gravity of your actions and repent for eternity."

He now turned towards the Nephilim that still kept tugging on the two pieces of the Chaoskampf like clockwork toys.

"Stop!" thundered Brahman, "Walk till the ends of the world and bury yourself nine spans of your body's length under the ground."

The gigantic Nephilims unstuck themselves from the ground and began to walk in opposite directions, one towards north and the other towards south. Then he raised his hands and the two pieces of the Chaoskampf floated towards him.

Brahman clenched his hands and made a fist and the serpent's body got compressed into two shining spherical orbs. When God unclenched his hands the orbs broke apart and two more humanoid beings were created. These two looked like teenagers. They landed on the ground gracefully and were forced to kneel due to Brahmans spiritual pressure.

Brahman ordered, "By my word, you will henceforth guide souls and reincarnate them to continue the cycles of life and death. You will be called Metas and Tronas."

He then turned toward his son Mikhail and said, "You will continue to protect the entire creation along with your brothers and these two new siblings."

He picked up a gemstone which was fallen on the ocean floor and said, "These gemstones are a part of my being, you will find humans worthy of its possession and they will protect other humans as their guardians, while you protect the rest of my creation."

"We will father," Mikhail said.

"I would like to re-continue my rest," Brahman turned towards Mother and said, "This time I would like for you to join me."

She just smiled and walked towards him. They both ascended into the air and found that the tallest mountain had been untouched by the flood. They both went there and created a barrier so that no one would disturb them and continued to stay there forever.

With them gone, Azrail, Mikhail and the two twin brothers Metas and Tronas were able to stand up. They looked up and all but Azrail ascended into the skies. Confused about why he was unable to go to the heavens Azrail tried once again.

When he failed the Ascension, the words of his father dawned upon him. He remembered that he was confined to being on Earth forever and no longer amongst his peers. He let out an angered wail which swept his bitterness all across the planet.

As if it were the tears of Azrail's sorrow, it rained continuously for the next year and the oceans were replenished. The entire topography of earth was changed due to this event. The large continent of Eden was split into five different parts separated by the Oceans. The country of Eden with all its glory and development was lost forever under the sea of Atlantis. Human civilisation had to begin from scratch all over again.

The only thing they carried from the past was their memories of the cataclysm. Each tribe of survivors told the story in their own way, with their own unique names and gave rise to the various religions. Azrail spent the next yugas wandering across the Earth hoping that God would see him repenting and forgive him. But God's all-seeing eye knew the truth within his heart that he still thought of the humans as beneath himself and did not stop his punishment.

Man, by then had begun to re-build civilisation, but this time without its unity which had previously accelerated development. Each settlement of humans developed their own culture, religion and language. Azrail decided to take advantage of this and secretly began to help people.

He taught them of knowledge which they were not ready for under the guise of empowering them but his true intention remained hidden. He approached the people as a guide and teacher at first.

He gave the people the gift of knowledge but also taught them how to misuse it.

He showed people metallurgy, and people created weapons. With this the search for power had begun and he created wars.

He taught people the arts of cosmetics and creating mirrors. Thus, he created pride and jealousy.

He taught people the concept of currency and thus sowed the seeds of greed and jealousy in man.

He taught them sorcery and astrology thus creating superstition and blind faith.

If man would have understood these concepts on his own, he would have done so in a more controlled manner and been more responsible.

Azrail graciously taught them and became a champion to them and eventually rose to a position of power.

He wanted to guide the people towards their own destruction and he did so by spreading sins amongst the pure. People, in times of need fell prey to his deviousness. Once he had set them up on the path of destruction he went away and hid in the sidelines so that no one amongst his brothers would pick up on his schemes.

He manipulated people with weak wills to do his bidding. They would act as catalyst to spark events like coups, mutiny, wars. Like this he started many depressions, wars and crisis. His bitterness over time grew several folds. Now he was no longer acting on his passion or love. He had changed into a vile, vicious and angry God.

As man continued to grow and develop they continued to spread the seeds of sin which Azrail had sown. Man build walls, fences, borders and continued to divide and become weaker. Though, as the population increased man's progress continued, albeit at a much slower pace.

Meanwhile, the remaining sons of God followed Gods orders and began to find worthy and sinless individuals. They gave them the gemstones which were created with God's essence and gave them the task to protect man. These men were known as guardians who upheld the words of God and protected mankind from Azrail and his interference. The brothers along with the two new siblings known together as Metatron protected the rest of God's creation themselves while supervising the care of God's most beloved creatures.

Brahman had isolated himself in the confines of his barrier and nobody could contact him. Mother would come out and meet with her sons when they seek her counsel.

Azrail saw his brothers were appointing guardians to stop his plans and realised he alone would not be capable of changing the course of the future. He also began to create his own gemstones and weapons. Using them to create an army of his own. Now along with Azrail, the guardians had to fight against Azrail's minions as well. These minions of evil came to be known as the Watchers. And it was the duty of the Guardians to defend human kind against these evil.

This is the gist of what old man Ishrafil told me while we were waiting for our conveyance.
