Chapter 8.
Mieli was furiously going over her knowledge of this corrupt world in her mind. It had been almost 14 billion years since Chaos had gifted each God and Goddess with the vast knowledge of all Chaos’s galaxies and the celestial bodies they each contained.
She had vast knowledge of the hundreds of billions of planets in the infinite cosmos, knowing of each worlds basic functions and the life that they contained.
Each time another galaxy was created by Chaos, she would gain this knowledge from her creator, it would seep into the blackness of nothing, forcing its way into the atmosphere, absorbing it into her Divine blood.
So Mieli knew what humans were and how they came to be. But the knowledge she possessed now seemed so very wrong to her. Perplexed by Kyzin, he was gentle and kind, this human did not appear to be an abomination that Chaos had banished to Earth so long ago, she had read his soul and his soul was true.
Kyzin’s chiseled features were equal to that or even excelled any of the Gods she knew on Azure-Alkun.
Mieli could not help but admire his large brawny arms and hard muscle bound body. His dark tanned flesh glistened with a sweet scented sweat that made Mieli’s heart quicken. His hair was cropped very short, the colour of dark roasted cocoa beans and his huge jade eyes swum with emotions that were beyond her.

Leading Mieli to his camp, Kyzin needed to pack the few items he had brought for the long walk towards Otamia.
Araphel and his depraved army had swept through his village two full moons before. They had beaten him inches from life, then the King had taken his sister, throwing her before him and raping her in front of his very eyes.
Kyzin had squeezed his eyes shut, he could not look upon such sick deprivation, he could not look into his sisters glazed over soul.
He did not know how many of Araphel’s men had to hold him to the ground as he heard his little sisters cries, however he knew it was many, feeling many large hands crushing every part of his flesh. He tried to kick, claw and bite, do anything he could to be released from their foul hold, however they would not relent, each vice-like grip searing even further into his skin.
Kyzin choked on his gut wrenching screams, his tears mixed with Araphel’s men’s wicked laughs. The ‘great’ King of Otamia’s foul grunts of fetid pleasure ringing throughout his ears.
Araphel and his army had taken her then. They had taken his sister and the majority of the people in his proud, yet small community. The only people that remained were a few of the elderly and about a dozen of the children. Kyzin was the only able bodied man left to make the long journey to Otamia, find his sister, release his people and kill Araphel.

Inviting her to sit before his small fire, Kyzin handed Mieli a water skin filled with fresh water, watching her intently as she bought the skin to her lips, surprised at her thirst. She had just landed on Earth, yet the human needs had already kicked in, leaving her Divinity behind.
“I saw your.....wings Mieli,...are you an Angel?.” Mieli smiled towards Kyzin, she understood telling any human the truth was forbidden, nevertheless she knew she was shielded on this strange planet from Chaos, she would not hear the words she now spoke. He had seen her arrival, he had seen her great wings, she could not lie to him, not now.
“Kyzin, it is hard to explain,....I am an Angel, I am one of many children of Chaos. I am a Angel of the Divine, a daughter of the one true creator of the cosmos.” She didn’t really know what to say, it was all very hard to explain.
Not replying at first, Kyzin just stared straight ahead for a time, emerald eyes twinkling with awe in the darkness, searching the night for the right words.
“Oh...what?...you are an Angel?.” Kyzin breathed these words, the awe floating aimlessly on the cool breeze, Mieli could barely hear the words as they came from his full lips.
“Please Kyzin, you must not speak of this to another soul,....I can not risk my mission.” Even though Mieli already knew he would not break her trust she needed to voice these words to him.
“Of course Mieli,....I am at your complete mercy.” Kyzin bowed his chin to his chest, his eyes lowering in absolute reverence.
Miel looked down at the back of his lowered head, she had a sudden urge to stroke his dark hair, she wanted to feel its texture between her long fingers, she had an overwhelming need to smooth her palms over his bare arms and trace each large muscle as she went.
But Mieli did none of this, she was fearful of these new emotions and quickly pushed them to the side. Sighing deeply, she abruptly changed the subject.
Mieli hadn’t been her usual self since she had landed on this bizarre world, she was experiencing emotions that were beyond her. She had existed for an eternity, yet she had only ever felt pure love for her creator, love for her beautiful Chaos, until now.
Since she had smashed through eternity and landed on Earth, feelings of very strange emotions that she could not comprehend or ignore fell upon her. Chaos had warned her of this, humankind had a way of getting under your skin, making you ‘feel’ as they do, pushing their doubt and fears into your soul, tangling you amid their lust and desires, trapping your soul.
Mother Earth was veiled from Chaos, so many humans had penetrated evil and sin into the blue world now, polluting it, killing it. Chaos could not see past all the devastation, she was unable stop the madness.
Mieli knew she would have to give Kyzin some sort of explanation. She looked out into the dark night and waited patiently for him to speak.
“Mieli,... honestly, never in a million years would I have thought I’d see anything like I did tonight when you crashed to the ground. And now that your here, I feel such a strong..... I can’t find the right words Mieli, ....I just need you to level with me,......you say you are an Angel?, what is Chaos?, why do you need to find Otamia?, why do you need to find the city so urgently, why have you come here.?”
Sighing, Mieli didn’t know how or where to begin. Clearing her throat, she lowered her voice, turning her huge silver irises towards him.
“About 14 billion years ago the cosmos was born. Chaos burst forward from the nothingness and created her very first galaxy.” Mieli paused, still not really sure how much to disclose, but needing to give Kyzin an explanation.
“Chaos ‘is’ the laws of the universe. These laws were created as she coalesced with the insanity around her, her laws then instantly became absolute. Chaos inscribed these laws into infinity and the finite time, carving them into an endless stream of invisible data. She had now made her testament and hid it inside an Alzphaeta Diamond.” Taking a sharp breath Mieli continued.
“As Chaos flew towards Azure-Alkun to bury it deep in the planets core, a tiny piece of ice flew from a passing comet, a little icy shard tore from it, ripping into the extraordinary gem and split its magnificence in half. Chaos managed to hold onto one half of the diamond, however the other flew into the deepest of space and shot into oblivion, lost to Chaos, lost to all time....but now I know were the other half landed, it is here on Earth, I can feel its energy, I can hear it calling to me.” The mercury again pooled amidst each iris, a soft silver light pulsed from the Angel’s core.
“The Alzphaeta diamond is made of the most extraordinary minerals which are not found on Earth, however it is pretty close to what humans know as quartz crystal. Trillions upon trillions of yottabytes fill the two halves of these diamonds, binding them with the entire cosmos and eachother.”
Kyzin didn’t dare speak as she told her strange story, concentrating on every word Mieli spoke.
“The beautiful serpent, The Naga was created then, she was made by Chaos to guard the half of the Alzphaeta diamond that she had buried on Azure-Alkun. The Naga lived deep inside the ice, under the largest peak in the perpetual twilight, forever protecting Chaos’s most precious gem. But then something terrible occurred. The mystical creature was murdered, destroyed for all time. The Naga became no more. The evil God, Chaos had named Arawn had killed her, stealing the Alzphaeta diamond and taking it from Azure-Alkun.”
“Arawn was not alone, two other evil Gods helped him with his plan. Their names, Am-heh and Shesmu, they ripped one of Chaos’s daughters from Azure-Alkun. She is one of the primordial Goddesses, her name is Amaunet, she is the second of the Divine that was created by Chaos in the beginning.”
“Only Chaos and any one of the first eight primordial Deities can open the portals back on Azure-Alkun to another destination in the cosmos, These foul Gods stole Amaunet and ripped her with them through time and space and now she too is somewhere here on Earth in the sands of Otamia.”
“Chaos only know’s Amaunet is in Otamia’s vicinity, although she cannot see more than that, Mother Earth will not let her past all the corruption and sin that has polluted your extraordinary blue planet.”
“They have come here Kyzin, they have come to your planet. Arawn already has one half of the Alzphaeta diamond in his putrid hands!. It won’t be long before he finds is twin. The power that Arawn now holds is beyond any explanation I can fathom, there are no earthly words to describe the despair and desperation it will cause. Not just Earth’s future is at stake, but the entire cosmos.”
“The evil that Arawn would release from the two united gems would seep into Chaos, filling her with a darkness so full of hate, it will squeeze its way into everything, until no love remained anywhere. Life as we all know it will resemble Chaos’s hell. Hell is somewhere you will never want to go, it is the place where Chaos sends all of life’s wicked, sinful spirits, it is an eternity of horror, agony and grief.”
“Chaos has sent me to Earth to retrieve Azure-Alkun’s half of the Alzphaeta diamond, secure the half that is buried under Otamia, find Amaunet and take Arawn and the other foul Gods souls to hell.”
