Watchers untold

Prologue: 

 "Tainted blood mixed with higher blood produced them, they were giants by comparison to us, at first it wasn't so bad, they killed and devoured our livestock, it was a small price to pay, they kept the land clear of predators, but then, the predators knew what we did not. They started on our livestock, but soon that did not Sate the hunger, they started turning their interest on us, we became the prey, and nobody could stand these giants, only the Jotnar could, and they did, the battle was bloody indeed."

A great clash of Thunder rocked the mountains as a man with firey red hair welding a Hammer fought a giant foe, he threw his hammer so hard, it slammed into the Giant's Skull, the Skull shattered and the Giant hit the ground, the earth shook and the ground split at the Force, leaving the red haired male panting for breath as he ripped his hammer from the Giant's Skull blood and bone matter sticking to the Hammer. 

the man was none other then the Giant Slayer Jotnar Thor, a moment later a old Grey man wearing a large hat and having one eye covered with a eyepatch wearing armour walked up to the red haired man, his face was stern and looked similar to the younger man, that's because he was Odin.

 Odin touched Thor's shoulder and says slowly in old Norse." do not fear my son ,we will send them all to Hellheim, For we must by any means necessary if human kind is to survive."

Chapter One: Visitors from the Stars.

It was a warm day on mount Sinai, flowers bloomed and many trees were heavy with ripe fruit, small animals scurry around branches plucking the ripe fruits.

Butterflies fly idilic and bees collect pollin, nearby people can be heard, children are playing, woman are Washing clothes in the stream, men fish and others hawk their goods in the local markets.

The wind is crisp and cool to the warm sun as a young man in his early 20s walks up a hill, a basket full of ripe fruit, he hums a song of praise to the one true God, as he picked more fruit, bidding thanks for the bounty.

The Young Man's hand stills where it was frozen about to pick an apple, the Sky went dark suddenly, gales of air fills the air with static as large purple and blue meteors fly through the Sky, the closer the meteors comes, the more they slow, the man's jaw slackens, as he realises the meteors are landing in the village.

The ships land in the village on top of mount Sinai and tall beings ,very tall ,skinny with large colorful beautiful eyes ,naked but very beautiful with clear skin walk out of the Ships ; they were a chorus and had no names. They were formless and as one .each watcher whispered together amidst the song of the cosmos. They sang of nothing and everything. No will or thought, only light .a boundless existence. As they sang ,a single mote of something, of nothing ,passed through the watchers light and cast a speck of a shadow down upon the Earth. Beneath the stars,that shadow looked back at the heavens and saw himself for the first time. And in that moment it took a name ( Samyaza). Their song attracted people to be drawn at them, the people stopped doing what they were busy with and rushed to see the beings to hear their voices as they sing.

The young man rushed to see what was happening but on his way down he stumbles into a group of men who are drunk.

The leader looks at him and drunkily slurrs." Look men! It's Jared!"

One of his friends laughs and walks forward grabbing Jared by the Shirt." You're as pretty as a woman, I wonder if you mourn like one."

Another man laughs there were three of them." Bet you he'd suck our loins." 

Jared pushes agains the man who grabbed him, his tunic shirt ripping in the process showing his beautiful muscled chest." Get away from me! I have no interest in sullying myself by forbidden pleasures of the flesh."

He walks to move passed them holding his tunic where it'd been torn, the leader grabs him and slams him into a tree.

" You don't have a choice boy! We take what we want!"

His fingers curl into Jared's skin making blood drip from the younger man.

" Let me go!"

The other two laugh.

" Hold the pretty boy still we'll each get a turn."

Jared feels fear creep up on him as one of the men starts undoing their pants he pushes against the one holding him down.

The one who was pulling down his pants was suddenly interrupted when they all heard a low musical hymn.

the watcher that had suddenly appeared looked at them emotionless and said no word.

One of the men took a fearful step back from the being when suddenly the leader who had grabbed Jared crashed onto his knees holding his face.

" GAHHHH! MY EYES!"

Jared felt horrified when he looked at the men and saw blood running down their faces as they clutched their eyes, loud pops and the squash sound of flesh was heard as their eyes burst in their skulls.

The men passed out, and Jared turned to the Watcher but it still stood stoic and did not speak.

" Thank you."

Jared said breathless, it did not reply instead it turned and was gone the next moment.

Jared quickly made his way down the hill, towards his little stone home.

His Father was sitting in the little reed bed coughing blood into a piece of cloth.

" Father, the most wonderous thing happened, these beings appeared from the sky, men wanted to molest me but one of these beings saved me, the men their eyes burst and they fainted."

His father laughed like a mad man as he coughed more blood some of it running down his face and dripping onto his chest

Jared shook his head and went to his father with a clean rag to clean the blood .

The watcher that helped Jared approached the other watchers and showed them what it had gone to collect ,which was gold.

While the others were being touched by humans and marveled at the one who helped Jared said ," this planet is very fruitful with gold and since it is ripe we must harvest it."

" do you agree Samyaza?" And samyaza simply nodded his head and said " yes Ramiel ,we will harvest it and teach the sons of man how to be righteous as our father who is in heaven is righteous"

To be continued...

The arrival of the watchers has always fascinated me and I hope that whoever has read this novel likes how it's narrated.
