Chapter 5

"Alright, Lilith please get the water we had warmed up on the fireplace, Eve. I will need some wraps, they are stored-"

"On the third shelf!" She replied running into the cave as I soothed the four headed Hellhound. 

"It's okay girl, we are going to help you get these puppies out of you." I reasured as I tried to make her comfortable. Mythical beast's aways ran into problems when giving birth, Savanna and Rathor were the only hellhounds in the Garden both had four heads and breathed fire. Rathor was lying across from me looking worried at his mate. 

"Here are the wraps and water basin!" Lilith and Eve called running up to me, I got to work wrapping my hands with the wraps as I got to work. 

"Alright, I see the head! The first is a natural birth." I called as I helped softly pull the hellhound puppy out as I passed it to Lilith who had her hands wrapped and ready as she got to work cleaning the blood off in the warm water before handing her to Eve who got to checking if it was healthy and it's gender. 

"It's a girl, and she is healthy!" She called as she set the pup down next to Rathor who gently took her and kept her warm in his fur. We did the same thing to the next one. "It's a bow, and he is healthy!"

"Alright this is the last one! Crap, its a unatural birth the pup is coming out feet first!"" I called. I set to work as I helped the pup get into the right angle as I led him out. That's when we ran into a problem. "We have a problem, the pup has three heads! Keep pushing Savanna, Lilith come help me!" 

It took a long 5 minutes before we saftly got the three headed pup out. Lilith took it and cleaned it before we made sure it was healthy and had no problems.

"It is a boy, quite healthy and three headed!" Lillith remarked as she set the pup with its parents. Rathor had brought the other puppies over to Savanna who looked really tired but happy as she licked the three puppies clean.

"Alright girls, that is that. Thanks for the help." I remarked as i took off the wraps and washed my hands. 

"It was no problem at all! It was quite fun!" Eve replied bubbly.

As we were walking back to the cave i heard a voice in my head. My child come and seek me out.

I stopped in my tracks as the girls turned to me. "Adam is something wrong?" Eve asked alittle worried.

"You two go back to the cave, I eed to go check something out." As I watched Lilith and Eve retreat to the safety of the cave, a sense of unease gnawed at me. The voice calling to me seemed to pulse in my head, urging me to follow it. With a heavy sigh I turned as I headed to the north wondering who was talking to me.

Each step felt heavier than the last as I combed through the lush foliage, searching for the source of the mysterious beckoning. "What is it that you want from me?" I muttered under my breath, my voice lost amidst the rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds.

As if in response, the voice led me to a giant rocky wall of a mountin that rose thousand of feet in the air in a large circle around the Garden, from what I learnt it stopped anyone from excaping or entering the Garden.

"Must I climb the mountain, or dig through it?" I pondered aloud, my voice echoing in the stillness of the cave. And then, as if in answer to my question, the air infront of me started heating as something metalic cut a tear through the air leaving a steaming and churning hole that seemed to lead somewhere. 

I hesitated for a moment, my nerves fraying at the edges, before summoning the courage to step forward. With a deep breath, I stepped into the rift? Hole? Whatever it was.

The world around me seemed to blur as I passed through as reality seemed to startfolding and twisting in on itself. As I stepped onto the floating marble platforms, my senses were overwhelmed by the surreal sight before me. Three thrones loomed ahead, each occupied by beings whose forms flickered and shifted, oscillating between human and something altogether more unsettling and divine. Their bodies radiated with a unworldly light reminiscent of the presence of God himself, yet their appearances were adorned with both halos and horns, a paradoxical blend of purity and menace. And I knew that they made God look like an ant in comparrison.

The woman to the left, draped in regal purple dress, exuded an aura of majesty tinged with an otherworldly allure. Her features morphed with each passing moment from solid to smoke flames, embodying both beauty and a certain sinister grace. Her horns rose above her head like an Addax, her halo were split into two forming what looked like an eye.

In the center sat a man whose deep blue hue seemed to ripple with the very essence of the cosmos. His gaze bore into me with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine, his countenance shifting between benevolence and an unspoken threat. His horns were curled like ram horns and his halo shattered the pieces floated forming the shape. 

To the right, a figure cloaked in fiery red commanded attention, his presence evoking a sense of primal power tempered by an air of cunning intelligence. With each glance, I felt as though I was peering into the heart of a raging inferno, the flames dancing with a hypnotic allure. His face changed from human to a octopus, the tenteclues moving in a hypnotic way. His horns lookked almost demonic as it moved back before bending upright in a curve to the front. His halo, well it was around the man's neck having spikes around it's base.

As I approached, a sense of trepidation gripped me like never before. My heart hammered in my chest, the rhythm of fear drowning out the whispers of curiosity that dared to stir within me.

But before I could even begin to comprehend the surreal scene unfolding before me, a distant roar shattered the silence, drawing my gaze skyward. From the depths of space streaked a magnificent serpentine dragon, its golden scales shimmering in the celestial light as it soared towards us with breathtaking speed.

I watched in awe as the dragon descended upon the platform, its form shifting and contorting until it transformed into a woman of ethereal beauty. Her skin glowed with a radiant golden hue, adorned with four spirling horns and a halo that mirrored the splendor of her celestial kin.

"Welcome, Adam to the Celestial Realm." The Dragon lady spoke. "I am Ravanna the Golden Serpent and we need to talk."
