| Sinned, they find he is not at home, that he | | | | be too late, it will not stop raining, --that |
| has left, while under restrictions, not to | | | | is, too late for everyone, for the |
| have. This, the Tiamat feels is cause for | | | | foundations of the world will crack and |
| expulsion from Yort, and as he declares this | | | | swallow up everything and everybody, that is |
| so, Lucifer just looks at her strangely. The | | | | the secret, which is really no secret, if the |
| Commander being asked by the Tiamat, yet not | | | | Adversary had simply looked at the boat, he |
| knowing of his whereabouts, calls the King, | | | | could have figured that out, and you can tell |
| who reprimands the Commander for not watching | | | | it to your friend, Lucifer."Confused, yet |
| him properly, and is ordered to take a | | | | surprised he had given her the information, |
| platoon of men to go find him and bring him | | | | and gave at that moment; the answer she had |
| back.Mumbles the Tiamat in an unknowing | | | | asked almost struck her blind. Thought she, |
| language, that no one understands:'It has | | | | "I simply should have asked sooner." She was |
| come to the point I will either have to | | | | delighted, still felt in a fog of dismay. |
| torture him to death to get the information, | | | | Sinned hoping the information might get out |
| and hope his will does not have the power to | | | | to the people and they could plead for |
| cast me into the pit, or face Lucifer, and He | | | | forgiveness, was his real motive.Said the |
| cast me into the pit for failing twice.'She | | | | Tiamat mystified: "What should I do, if the |
| knows if she tries to kill him, he will, most | | | | world is coming to an end?" Looking at |
| likely will, try to in all means and ways, | | | | Sinned, yet he didn't answer [a long pause |
| cast her (if he can into the pit), as he has | | | | takes place]."Sinned, Sinned, answer |
| said he would do (the abyss); or possibly | | | | me,PLEASE!" No answer, again a long pause, |
| there might be a third option, simply get out | | | | she looks deep at him resting so peacefully |
| of the city fast, but then, she would be | | | | against the back of the cage, touches him: |
| found sooner or later, if Lucifer really | | | | Sinned had fallen to sleep and with her |
| wanted to find her that is, he could.(The | | | | touch, he stops breathing, and does not wake |
| Shinning One's have left: gone back to Egypt, | | | | up. A panic seems to go up and down her |
| and the Cmmander is leaving Yort, in search | | | | body, chills, for now what does she do, and |
| of Sinned.)Sinned travels to the interior of | | | | then out of the heavens it starts to rain, |
| Turkey [Asia Minor] finding an old man | | | | and rain and rain.When Lucifer hears of this |
| working on a large vessel, actually putting | | | | news, he stomps his feet, looking at the |
| on the last touches of a huge and monstrous | | | | Tiamat, says, "It is all yours..." And with |
| craft; polishing up the seams and insuring | | | | his angelic abilities ascends beyond the |
| the boat is sea worthy; just as his friendly | | | | clouds of the pouring rain. And it continues |
| angel, Serr'el had told him he would; he asks | | | | to rain, and rain and rain: for 40-days and |
| the man in charge the question:"When do you | | | | nights. The Tiamat now jumps out of the body |
| predict you will be done with this boat | | | | of the Ram, as it has been destroyed, |
| Sir?"The man says: "Very soon (and smiles at | | | | ruptured, pulled apart, all its organs are |
| Sinned)."No more is said, or needs to be said | | | | rotting, and he also sinks in the mud and the |
| for that matter, hence, Sinned travels back | | | | rain, and descends to the underworld [the |
| to his city-state, whereupon he meets the | | | | nine-hells].By the time it stops raining, the |
| Commander along the way and they both enter | | | | world is different. As Lucifer, the |
| the gates of Yort together. He takes him | | | | Adversary, or otherwise known as Satan, looks |
| into custody, putting him in a cage, nine | | | | down from the clouds, he sees the mud of the |
| feet by nine feet; it would seem the old | | | | city Yort, and it is thirty feet deep. "It |
| friendship is dwindling down, he hand the | | | | will take," he mumbles "it will take |
| Commander once hand. As the Commander | | | | four-hundred years to settle and dry up |
| suggest, Sinned has abused his privilege and | | | | again," that is, before it is worthy of his |
| his friendship with him. Yet Sinned says | | | | domination, he means; yet he is angry, like a |
| nothing, which surprises the Commander, whom | | | | pacing lion--throughout the sky he walks and |
| feels, he would protest, or surely try and | | | | talks to hisself:he is like a hungry lion, |
| make him feel bad about doing this, since | | | | like a dragon with fire coming out of his |
| they had been friends for many years, yet | | | | mouth, thus, he spits insanity and evil all |
| Sinned says nothing, not one word, he knows | | | | about, for it was almost, almost, his empire, |
| time is very short for the whole world, and | | | | but possibly he will have better luck next |
| even shorter for him.As the Tiamat shows up | | | | time (so he is thinking, and adds to his |
| at the cage with her demands, wanting to know | | | | thoughts, his days that he thought were over, |
| the secret, the secret Satan feels Sinned | | | | had just gained a few more); he yells through |
| has, She [meaning the Tiamat] is | | | | the clouds, "I'll return." The Tiamat in |
| explaining, she has freed the city of Marduk, | | | | her--now, ghostly form, looks from a |
| but must cage him like an ape until she finds | | | | distance, and is gone, with no particular |
| the secret; she has no choice, she is almost | | | | destination at the moment. The Commander who |
| pleading to him not to cast her into the pit, | | | | wanted to play it safe all his life and not |
| but falls short on the actual words and | | | | choose between this or that god ended up with |
| simply begs for the information; she even | | | | no god, has now lost his life buried in the |
| goes as far as telling him: he has no choice | | | | mud and the quiet winds of time (he is dead, |
| in the matter, just as she has none, that she | | | | and the dead do not worry about being dead, |
| cannot win, nor him, win in either | | | | for they are). Sinned, he is dead (and the |
| situation, meaning, Sinned will cast [her if | | | | dead do not worry about being dead anymore: |
| he can] her into the pit if she kills or | | | | especially if they are in God's hands) and |
| tries to kill him, or Satan will for not | | | | remembers his betrayal by the Cammander,after |
| finding out the information she needs. She | | | | all those years of friendship, now he has |
| stands by the cage waiting for the | | | | been weighed and balanced, like hisself; and |
| information."When is the world to come to an | | | | as it continues to rain, death had no sting |
| end?" She asks, not really knowing if that is | | | | for Sinned, he had simply said to the |
| the question, but feeling that is the | | | | Lord:"I'm ready, I'm OK with it, it does't |
| information Satan wants, what else could it | | | | matter, I don't want to live like this |
| be; Satan wants to rule, and rule for how | | | | anyway." (He went to paradise, awaiting the |
| long is the big question. Plus, he can not | | | | Messiah.)((And the shock waves from the |
| rule an uninhabited world. At this point, she | | | | asteroid hitting Mercury, shook the solar |
| is more like pleading, her case twice with | | | | system, and there came a shockwave throughout |
| Sinned to cooperate, or give her a way out; | | | | the crust of the earth, and it wobbled on |
| almost as if he owed her a favor.Sinned, | | | | it axis, creating a fracture within the |
| knowing time is short for the Tiamat, as well | | | | heavens, and it rained and rained killing |
