Capítulo 13: In the Beginning

Aza felt his eyes grow warm as he entered the governor's office. "I want answers," he spoke solemnly.

"Aza there is a lot to explain, but let's just start at the beginning shall we?"

Aza nodded.

"Long ago there was chaos. Much like Humans theorize the humble beginnings of earth."

"But-" Aza began.

"Just listen" Spoke Michael. The air seemed to grow more dense. Aza held his questions and allowed him to continue.

Michael opened a drawer to his right and pulled out two glasses, placed ice in each and poured some whiskey from a decanter into each. Handing Aza one, Michael took a sip of his own drink and continued his story, allowing his mind to drift back.

"Chaos has a strange way of creating life. It's Primordial even. Can you believe that all of this could be summed up in a single word? Believe it or not, that's how it happened. Out of chaos was born two beings. Nyx and Erebus. These two thrive in the darkness of the Universe. The first gods. They ruled in the night for eons. Nyx, being darkness, and Erebus, being the Night sky. Then they bore children, Which would change everything, and reshape the Universe itself. Gods were born, each controlling a piece of reality. Thus the Universe was created. For without a single word, "Life" There would be but chaos. Gods created everything, but Chaos never truly disappears. It only changes form. Thus each god had their own personal source of power. The word that each god Personified drives the life force in each existence. This is how each god was named. And as such, time progressed. Gods giving birth to gods and as such the universe grew and evolved.

Then one god was born, who wished to create life, not of godly origins. He created life in the image of the gods and gave them gifts. He created a home for them away from the realm of other gods. He created life that would sustain theirs and created a power that he'd never expected. His source had always been "Creation" but he noticed that when Humans grew in number, so did his power. He'd never been a rather powerful god, so this was a welcome development, then a god passed by his planet. He grew jealous, so he disguised himself and walked amongst them, spreading lies about their creator. And gave knowledge which led to self- awareness. Soon, humans began to hate their creator. They began building a way to escape their prison, knowing that they were but sheep, raised to be but a source of power for a greedy god. The god, realizing he was growing weaker, searched among his creation for the reason and found another god there. This god was known as "Deceit." Or you may know him as "Tartarus" The god captured Tartarus, and imprisoned him. He used his source as the spark that would illuminate everything within his reach and brand him as an example for others. Soon after, he realized that his power was still decreasing. He decided to start Anew. He chose to find someone devout to him and had him preserve as much life as he could. Protecting him, his family, and the life of those he could muster, he destroyed everything. When his rage subsided, he returned the family and those he had saved to the earth. Humanity grew again, but this time the god promised to end all life, should they betray him again. The man spared by the god created religion as a guide to protect humanity from the gods' rage. Little did he know, he was only feeding the gods power.

The god saw that the other gods would grow jealous, just as tartarus and planned to create an army to protect his creation. But no matter what he tried, he was too weak to create anything powerful enough at the time. So he devised a plan. Chaos. It already existed, and could take many forms. What if humans could use it to make themselves stronger? He began his research. He chose humans who appeared strong. And introduced them to chaos energy, but it seemed like no matter what he tried, the human body couldn't handle the amount of energy needed for integration. So he created humans with stronger organs, a need for sustenance. The new humans needed to take in energy every day or they would perish. He also gave them the ability to evolve. This was the birth of cultivation. What you now know as, Angels. The Protectors of this universe. The God killers. The Destroyers. The Salvation. He wished for his creations to be separate. He wanted to control these angels and dictate who would become one. Should an angel be found with a human, they would be punished.

The stronger they grew, the stronger their devotion to their creator, the stronger their god grew. Among the first angels, was born the "Archangels" Michael, Raphael, Gabriela, Uriel, Saraqael, Ragael, and Lucifer. These were the first born, then came Lillith, Aazel, Moloch, Chemosh, Belial, Dagon.

The list goes on. The angels grew in strength and number. Each practicing their own style of cultivation. Some controlled weapons, elements, instruments, animals, toxins, their own bodies, and energy known as Qi. The angels began comparing themselves to each other. They grew competitive. Which led to Sects being formed by those who practiced similar methods. Sects eventually began competing. Mistakes were made. The god ruling over them however, left to challenge the gods that had spurned him in the past, having grown stronger than the others. Without knowing, the gods creations began fighting amongst themselves, For Tartarus, even imprisoned, had been able to corrupt the hearts of some. Wars raged in the gods halls known as "Heaven."

The god, far away, felt his power growing weaker. He swiftly returned to his creations to discover many things. War in heaven, death of many of his favorite angels, and a sect of angels tainted by Tartarus led by his favorite Archangel Lucifer. Enraged, the god cast Lucifer from heaven and cursed him to guard Tartarus for eternity along with those within his sect. would be known as "The Fallen angels" But this name would only come later. There was one that fell before them. Azazel."

Aza took a drink from his glass. There had been so much information thrown at him in such little time.

Seeing that Aza was paying close attention, Michael continued.

"Azazel had found companionship in Gabriela. They found comfort in each other, they lived together, cultivated each other, and defended each other. They eventually gave birth to the very first Born-Angel. Azazel felt something that had never existed with Gabriela Something he named, "Love." in his enlightenment, Azazel Ascended from an Angel to a Seraph. A being unparalleled by any other. Only a step away from godhood. None other than his god and Chaos itself had ever created anything before. In his excitement he set out to share this with all under heaven. Humans felt the void in their hearts were filled. And with love spreading among humanity, so did Azazel's power grow. The god saw what had happened to his creation. He grew furious. Creation was his source, not Azazel's. He was no god. God knew that if he did nothing, then Azazel would grow stronger than him eventually. So he devised a plan. He showed Azazel's son Favor. Then one day while Azazel was Fighting another sect, he took his son. He twisted him, taught him unspeakable things and named him Gabriel. He raised him to answer only to him and to follow his orders. He returned him home and allowed him to grow until he became strong enough to contain a spark of divinity. When that happened, the god gave him the power to challenge his father and gave him a sword of gold that held the spark of his own godly power.

Gabriel fought his father, gabriela was powerless to help. The two were just too powerful. The heavens shook. Azazels Sword split heaven itself. And after 7 years, Gabriel captured Azazel and presented him before the god. And the god cursed Azazel. He would be an example of wrongdoing for humanity, and they would curse him for it. He would be forced to walk among the earth, as a human and never find love. He would be alone for eternity and humans basked in the gift he created."

Aza Stared at his glass of whiskey…

He felt such sorrow. As if he finally understood himself. The cold feelings.

" Aza there's a reason you've been seeing what you've been seeing. Our god is calling you home because the other gods are threatening our world. We need your help"


Capítulo 14: A Growing Child

Aza sat in silence. Flashes flowed through his mind as strikes of gold and silver rang through his memories. He couldn't believe it. Questions welled up, but he didn't even know where to start.

"Aza, do you understand what I've just told you?" Michael sat, watching Azas face for any signs of outbreak.

Aza thought carefully about his questions and decided to begin with the most obvious one. "What does that have to do with me Michael?"

"Michael now? Well brother, I'm going to make this clear. You are Azazel, and I'm going to need you to bear with me. With the way things are progressing, your cultivation is coming back to you at a rapid pace. Your source is no longer what it once was so we don't even know how you are growing so fast."

"What are you talking about?" Aza was confused.

"Aza have you noticed any changes to your body? Lillie tells me that you underwent pore cleansing, and even formed a core."

This only confused Aza more, then he understood. "You mean that stuff that came out of my skin and the starry ocean?"

Michael's face grew grim. He had never heard descriptions of a core formation as a 'Starry Ocean.' he pulled out his phone and typed a message to Lillie. "We need to solve this quickly."

Aza waited silently, questions still brewing in his mind.

In a few moments, Lillie opened the door and walked into the room. With a wave of her hand she closed the door. She took the seat next to Aza.

"Do you have it in you?" Michael inquired.

Lillie didn't respond, she only reached into her bag and retrieved a Silver bracelet.

"Please pass this to Aza. It's time for him to decide his future." Michael instructed.

Lillie somberly did as instructed.

Aza held out his hand and clasped the Bracelet in his grip. He felt warmth and a sense of calm from it. With all of the information and the feeling, he couldn't hold it back anymore.

"What do you mean my Future? You're telling the that a god is telling me to do this? Why can't I control this? What do you mean by All this, and what does this have to do with me?"

Lillie looked off into a corner, and Michael finished his drink. "Brother.."

"Brother? How am I your brother? I don't understand any of this!"

Lillie finally couldn't take it any more. "Azazel control yourself!"

Aza's eyes grew hot, and he could feel his emotions well up. His mind became sharp, and his surroundings grew dense. He looked at Michael, and focused on the bracelet. The patterns were of Ancient-looking runes surrounding it with the most metallic-looking Crystal that he had ever seen.

"Put it on and all will be revealed." Spoke Michael.

Aza continued to stare at the bracelet. He could feel a presence, 'His' presence. Anger grew in his heart.

Lillie finally turned to look at Aza, and was astounded. His eyes. They were glowing the most painful shade of blue she had ever seen. She could feel the yearning, the loss, the anger. As she attempted to speak, she was surprised to see Aza Swiftly put on the Bracelet. And then it happened.

Aza felt his consciousness expand, then concentrate itself inside of the bracelet. He found himself on an Island surrounded by a vicious sea. A sea of stars above shone in the night sky.

"You are finally here."

Aza spun around to see a man in a solid gold robe.

"Do I-"

"Know me?" He finished. "Not for a very long time. Once we were great friends, but then things took a turn. I honestly never expected for us to meet again."

"So who are you?" Aza asked, already knowing the answer.

"I am the one who breathed life into this world, am its god, its ruler. I am Creation. The beginning, and the End."

"So you're God?" Aza scoffed. "You're the one from the story?"

"One and the same," he replied.

"And What do you want from me?"

"Azazel, when you were cast down to earth you lived many lives. Sired many children. Those children inherited your powers. These are the Grigori. They became powerful, and attempted to enter heaven. I denied these Grigori, so they scattered amongst the stars and awoke a very ancient darkness. My brothers and sisters now know of earth's existence. They have started to appear, and have started walking among the humans."

"My children? My Children? So it's my fault?"

"Not your fault, it's mine."

Aza pondered. He found nothing to say. "So what do you want from me?" he asked the god.

"I only wish to give back what was once yours. Everything you see here, aside from me, is of your own creation."

"You mean?"

"Yes, you created this, something only I was capable of until you created something so powerful, that it could undo everything I made. Something that spread to everything that I had ever created. You draw your power from that. It's why you have been growing stronger ever since I released you from the curse."

"You cursed me. How am I supposed to believe you? After everything that you've just told me?"

"I don't expect you to understand, but I was afraid that my own creation was growing so strong that one day, you would become stronger than me. I was terrified that my own creation would destroy me."

Aza looked away. He looked to the stars. He could feel the swell of the ocean. It was angry, he could feel its fury. It was endless.

"I'm going to give you what you never had. A spark of divinity. If I do this though, you will have to promise me that you will protect this world. I will be unable to help you until the other gods arrive. I will have to rest until that day happens. Can you promise me that?"

"And why would I promise you that? You did all of this. You forced this on to me!" Aza felt something inside of him begin to take over. He felt his eyes burning as if they were flames themselves. He felt it wanting to speak. He couldn't hold it back any more. "You took everything from me! You took her, my son, my life! I did everything for you!"

A tear fell from the god's eye. "Azazel.."

"I did everything you asked! I hunted everything you deemed to be evil! I killed my own brethren at a single word from you!'

Aza felt pain all over his body. He could see Steam coming off of him. "What are you doing to me?!" demanded Aza.

"This is not me, my child. This is your own power. You have grown so quickly, that your body is undergoing changes at a rapid pace. If unassisted, your body will break apart. Quickly, you must be still."

The god rushed forward, placing his hand on his head and another over Aza's heart. Aza felt a cooling sensation as he sent energy into his body. He could still feel his own energy growing, cascading through him, just as the waves that raged around the Island.

"Look to the stars my child. Find solace in the fact that you will one day rule among them."

Aza fell to his knees in pain, looking to the stars. He could see the stars growing brighter, slowly, they grew brighter. Converging into themselves. Growing smaller in quantity, but growing larger in quality. It felt as if the universe were converging into a single point in his stomach. The density grew, and so Aza continued for what felt like eternity.

The god, having finished, stumbled backwards.

Aza felt a weight fall off of him as if he'd been carrying the world on his shoulders and released a terrifying roar.

The world shook in response to his anger.

"Even heaven trembles before you my child.."

Aza rose to his feet. And looked at the god. "Old man one day, we will settle old wounds."

"We shall then" he let out.

Bright light erupted from Aza, Black runes wreathed in blue flames, sprouted and encircled him.

"Chaos…" Spoke the god. "What have I created…"
