| From the snow capped
mountains and ice frosted
valleys of the far north to the lush green jungles
and vast deserts of the deep south, I, Razaal, Father
Sky and walker amongst mankind have seen it all.
My purpose in life from the very beginning was a
very special purpose indeed. For I, unlike my
brothers and sisters was created to live amongst my
fathers people, to live amongst them and to report
back to the spiritual glow with news of their progress.
I was also created to look down upon my fathers
masterpiece (Zeera, my sister, Mother Earth, Planet
Earth.) And I was destined to keep score of the game
of Chance.
My father was, is and always shall be free of all evil.
His children never were, are or shall be free of all
evil. From the water masses came the land and the land
provided life for countless creations. Now, to the South
of a land upon Planet Earth three hills a millennia ago
were created- one for The All Powerful, one for the
prince of darkness and one for myself.
The birth of a people I witnessed, the beginning of Zeést.
And in time, a lost name that was to become Kings Hill.
Two extracts from The Watchman
The very next day I became Father Sky, and I was surprised to find that Planet Earth
was no longer shrouded in darkness. No longer was I lacking in form. I was mighty, and
varying in colour. Zarina sat with me, she became the sun. And Zarluus by night, she
became the moon. Rodaal and Ratzia became th stars, Roiazalu the other planets and Razmi,
the Milky Way. Sometimes my view of Planet Earth was hindered by clouds of fluffy greys
and whites. And sometimes the earth opened itself up and spewed out rivers of oranges and
reds. I rained down upon the earth and gradually huge craters and valleys filled with
water. The waters rose and still I rained down. Zarina kept me company by day and her rays
of sunshine complimented my life giving rain drops. At night I rested with Zarluus,
Rodaal, Ratzia, Roiazalu and Razmi. Sometimes we would tell stories and The All Powerful
would come to visit. I was young and so was Planet Earth. The waters were fresh and new,
and the air was clear.
I loved my brothers, and sisters and never once did we grow tired of each
other. Days and nights came and went, seasons changed and years passed. Then again The All
Powerful took me aside. He asked me if I was happy as Father Sky, and of course I replied,
"I am." He asked me if I liked what I saw and again I replied, "I am."
He told me that it was time, that the waters were deep and ready to give life. Told me
that Mother Earth was about to fulfil her primeval obligation and that I was about to
become the guardian of my creators work. For a long time I saw little change,
although Zeera assured me that she could feel life in her watery depths. She promised me
that one day I would see it. That one day life would conquer the land and that birds would
fly in my body.
I, Razaal, Father Sky and walker amongst mankind knew nothing of my evil brothers
doing, but I felt great sadness at what I saw below me. I saw husband strike wife and I
saw brother kill brother. I saw lies and I saw great pain. I saw rulers rise and become
kings over peoples, and I saw peoples turned into slaves to fulfil kingly lusts. The All
Powerful came to me once more and I went with him back to the spiritual glow. He told me
that my brother was responsible for the things that I had seen below me. He told me that
Radal had changed his name to Satan and he told me that Satan would forever be my bitter
enemy. He told me that Satan would use cunning and stealth to find my weaknesses, and that
I must always be strong and never let down my guard. He told me that I was different from
my other brothers and sisters. Told me that I had been chosen, groomed and raised to go up
against Satan and his devil army. Told me that my job would not be an easy one, that I
would have to go to Satans world and report back. I didnt leave immediately, I
rested for seven days and seven night, and I left with a new brother. The All Powerful
Told me that my new brother would guide me and turn my fears into strength. His name was
Courage and he was brave and strong. He, also like me, lacked form. On the eighth day we
set off and The All Powerful wished us a hasty return. It was a long journey and I just
followed Courage through the Universe. We often grew tired and found ourselves in need of
rest. Courage didnt talk a lot, but I liked him all the same.
"How do you know where were going? Theres nothing but The
All Powerfuls creation out here," I said on many occasions.
"Trust me, be strong," was always his reply. We carried on through star system
after star system, and finally we reached darkness.
Then Courage sat me down and he explained to me that we had reached the end of creation.
"You must be brave," he said to me.
"I am by your side and I shall lead you to Satans world. When we arrive I shall
enter you and we shall become as one. I am Courage and I was created to serve you. I am
the cradle that will rock you, the pillar that will keep you standing tall. I am the water
that will bathe you, the air that you will breath and I am the light in your darkness. I
shall give you strength when yours is all but gone, and I shall help you find your way
back to the spiritual glow."
