Hey guys!
There’s a book I’ve been working on for a while. I also neglected it for a while. So… I decided to post the prologue up here for y’all to see and assess.
Here goes nothing…
‘It sat down on its magnificent throne. The appearance of this being was both beautiful and terrible to behold! Its countenance was treacherous and mighty! Huge black wings settled all around him and draped his throne over and over again. The spiritual planes warped and trembled around this being as it radiated power.
The throne occupied by this being was even more of a sight to behold. Firstly, it was grotesque. It was carved and constructed from human bones and human flesh. The arms of the chair ended in beautifully polished human skulls filled with blood that somehow didn’t pour out despite the eye sockets and mouth openings. The pattern on the throne was a myriad of ever changing designs, designs unlike what any mortal had ever seen. Human faces screaming in agony patterned the throne for their very souls were trapped within the confines of it. The mortals, lacking understanding, may assume it to be just a throne. But he wasn’t a mortal. He wasn’t confined to the flesh and its plentiful restrictions. He was Eternal! He existed outside time itself and it understood a throne woven from the bones, flesh, blood and souls of humans to be much more significant than a mere throne.
The throne symbolized power! Dominion over the Mortal race!
Deep in thought, he clicked its talons on the skulls ending the arms of the throne causing blood to spill from the eyes sockets.
He could remember when all these began, when the mortal race handed over their authority to him. Willingly Even! He chuckled at the thought of that remembrance! What great length mortals would undergo to gain power! Great enough to reject the authority of Jehovah the Almighty and choose for themselves what is good and what is evil. Such Audacity! Lucifer himself had not dared defy Jehovah until he had swept the stars of heaven to his side.
But Jehovah Had interfered! It growled. An utterly terrifying deep growl reverberated through the spiritual planes as it remembered how his plan to unite the mortal race with Divinity had failed when man was driven from the Garden of Eden. Man would have been tainted with sin and the moment He had eaten from the tree of life, Man would have become divine like God! Unable to die and unable to repent. Forever bonded with sin just as he was… But for Jehovah!
Jehovah had cursed Adam, and the taint of death, the mark of sin, had remained on man as it would for all eternity! Death after all was eternal and without the shedding of pure blood, according to Heavenly laws laid down since before even the creation of the Heavens, there would be no payment for Sin and so he knew man was beyond redemption. But there was a problem, he also was cursed. He remembered what Jehovah had spoken concerning him…
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel…”
And Jehovah is Divine! His words would come to pass! It was, as mortals would say, only a matter of time… But He could change it! But first it needed to understand why… why would the first born of Jehovah come down in mortal form, subject to sin, subject to him?
The thoughts played themselves across his mind as he pulled at every strand of its being to understand why Jehovah had done what He had done… but understanding eluded him.’
So… what do you guys think?
Please Critisize it as much as you can. Be innovative.
Its been a long while since I wrote anything here. Mixing a professional life as a pharmacist with a social life as a blogger isn’t as easy as I thought. Not at all.
