Prince of light on the day, the light was created//Tome01

"I will sing this song to the god … when the great savior comes... and this innocent, beautiful, worried girl…. Come and set her free now" is an old Babylonian song with the voice of an old man and an old Babylonian language, he was singing it while moving his head with joy…his voice was soft and beautiful but the background music wasn't compatible with the beauty of his voice …. He was singing to the sound of sheep roaming in the pasture … sheep which he waved with his stick on from time to time… he was happy …. and who wouldn't be happy while walking in this astonishing nature? … we are in the old kingdom of Assyria near Babylon … the greatest city that a human or Jinn eyes have ever seen in history ... and the shepherd with the tender voice is the old man "Ishma"

"And when the great saviour comes ... You will be set free"

Before more than four thousand years …. Earth wasn't this Earth, and the sky wasn't this sky … "Ishma" could see the fish and the shells while walking and looking at the lake as if he was looking at birds in the sky…before more than four thousand years …everything was so pure…. And it looked like the old man decided to rest a bit…. he headed to a nearby tree where he used to leave his food…and when he reached his food, he looked at it surprised... it was open.

Those bloody poor thieves won't ever learn… if they asked him to spare some food, he would give them…. Stealing is their guilty pleasure... their souls refuse to beg people for things but they love to steal from them… but "Ishma" was surprised after looking again at the food... even though the bag was open the food and the milk both in there but there was a small piece of cheese missing and a few drops of milk, which won't cut the thirst or the hunger of anyone. "ishma" sat down, he ate and drank, then he took a rest under the tree's shadow… then he decided to take a bath in the lake ... As do the shepherds who take baths in lakes in the old kingdoms …he took his clothes off and went down to the water.

As he was bathing …" Ishma" was taking sneak peeks to check on his baggage …suddenly, in a strange scene, a swarm of good-looking pigeons landed upon his food…. And started pecking the cheese with tiny pecks and stuffing their beaks with milk and then flew and landed in a far place, settling there for a few minutes, then coming back to his food and repeating the process and going back to the same spot.

He got out of the water and wore his old Babylonian clothes but he didn't head to his baggage instead he went to the place where all the pigeons were flying to with a weird excitement… and there he found something that widened his old eyes... he found a baby girl a beautiful nine years old daughter and his eyes never saw such beauty…. But this wasn't what amazed him... What widened his eyes was that the pigeons were surrounding, feeding and giving her milk from their beaks.

The baby was laughing while moving her hands joyfully …and when "Ishma" went close to her she giggled at him a smile which made his soft old tears fall from that innocence…. What he was watching meant something legendary for his old Babylonian shepherd mentality…. He picked her up and gently lifted her to the sky while the pigeons were flying around her in unexplained happiness … He looked at her little pearl-like eyes… it was the first time he had seen a baby with such gorgeous eyelashes and the old man decided to raise her and give her a name that hints to the incident, he called her "pigeon pet" which translates to a familiar name in the old Babylonian which was "Semiramis".

"When the great saviour comes….and this innocent beautiful worried girl…. Come and set her free"

It's a great celebration in Babylon. And when Babylon celebrates it makes it ten thousand times more beautiful, when the green mountains, plains and clear rivers meet with the Babylonian palace's special blue and white marble and the huge drawings covering the walls. When all this meets with kids who scatter saffron leaves in the air, the dancing horses and the people celebrating in their best clothes and outfits in history, just then you will realize that a great event is passing by, when you see saffron covers the ground you will know that king "kush" and queen "odaje" are having a newborn, a male newborn, because these celebrations aren't held if it was a female.

Here is the newborn in the howdah surrounded by maids and nannies who took care of the mother till she gave birth …Get closer to the howdah and take a look at this baby… You will hear a lot of words such as "Look at these stunning eyes" or "It's the most adorable baby I ever saw" and this will motivate you to look at the baby even more... Here is it in front of you... Beauty manifested in a small head and sharp eyes... But there is another disturbing scene … as this baby is surrounded by the soft-handed maids and scattered saffron leaves in the air... you see things surrounding him, they aren't things but demons, yes demons!! Smiling devilishly which every damn demon is good at …. despite all the hand-embroidered bags full of the blue cowry and garlic to repel the evil spirits and even though the maids had put their fingers in saffron and stamped it on the queen's "odaje" forehead to keep the baby safe from demons, they are still floating around and reciting something.

Suddenly everybody went silent and the grand priest or the Mohall as they call him in Babylonian spoke… He said:

⦁ Today I'm honored and humanity and the whole earth is honoured with the birth of the male newborn who will carry the name of the great king" Kush" the great son whom the family decided to name "Zahhak".

And everybody started shouting happily, "Zahhak" was an infamous name anyway, the name meant a "stinging viper" in Babylonian… and speaking of stinging vipers, the demons' laughs had a happy hiss between their fangs... A happy demonic hiss.

The old shepherd" Ishma" had taken a look at that sleepy feminine masterpiece which had fallen from heaven to him …that small masterwork he calls "Semiramis" … he is just a poor old shepherd who starves more and more everyday…. this little jewel place isn't between these warn out walls which he lives amongst…. The gods must have been saving an elegant place for her beauty, suddenly a great idea about "Semiramis" came across his old mind. 

Tomorrow the great Nineveh market will be held… which is held every year in Babylon and consistent with marriage season; where all the young men and women meet across the great kingdom of Assyria so every Youngman can choose a suitable bride… and for the old men to buy little girls to raise them till they reach the marriage age and then they marry them or gift them to their sons as wives ... he looked at the pretty eyes of "Semiramis" and determined to go to Nineveh tomorrow.

"Ishma" went to Nineveh carrying little "Semiramis" on his shoulder … and if the elegance ever spoke it would say Nineveh… "Ishma" had to wear his best clothes. Still, of course, he looked like a homeless man in the middle of this market where every handsome young man competes in to get every beauty … "Semiramis" was laughing. Her charming laugh had stolen everyone's eyes and made them wonder what does a pearl like that do between the arms of a beggar.

At the same time" Sima" the king's horse watcher passed by in the market looking for new horses to purchase for the king… suddenly his eyes caught the picture of the little angel… "Sima" forgot the horses, the king and everything else but then he remembered one thing, he is infertile, he took another look at her… brown hair like gold… how does brown become gold? This can't be explained except if you see this girl's hair…eyes summarizing the word "female" if you look at them…fin lips… "Sima" left everything and headed straight to the old shepherd…to" Ishma".

"Ishma" looked at his royal clothes cautiously… the little girl smiled at him magically … a smile that made the fatherhood that was left in his heart beat tenderly… she ran and threw herself between his arms… he picked her up then happily raised her to the sky… he took out a bag full of golden coins which were for buying the finest horses in the market … "ishma" looked at the bag eagerly and happily then he kissed "Sima's" hand and went on his way singing:

"And when the great savoir comes…. You will surely be set free"
