2.51 Medel, God of Fear


"I’m sure there were many objections" Mina replied. "It wasn’t called Medel until after Medel had perished. We didn’t know either until we found the writing on the walls. It didn't even look like Medel, but no one ever questioned it and over time it was forgotten about."
         "Perhaps there was some kind of mistake" Zara concluded. That the lie had been spun for so long made the identity of the idol seem irrelevant. The notion that an entire civilization could be worshiping an impostor seemed impossible.
         "It doesn't matter who you call it" Nepheus reminded. "They’re both a lie. Elon wasn't the Creator God, either."
         Zara had given her own beliefs some thought recently. There were things that had bothered her which she had punted and tried not to think about. A Creator god that created such a beautiful Product as Orien, then demanded his gruesome death made no sense, for one. And to ask her to celebrate it? Earn a medal from it? The truth was, she had never questioned the sacrifices at all, and now she questioned why not. She believed what she was raised to believe, to believe the same things everyone else believed... It was wrong not to believe. She certainly couldn't believe they would lie to them all like that.
         "Using the best DNA from his twelve Anunnaki children, Medel began developing races tailored for specific tasks. The first race was modelled after the Nefilim, they were big, burly and fierce, they knew how to carve into the rock, their genes were spliced with the lion, their purpose was to mine the gold and do the hard labor. These were the New Nefilim."
         Zara gulped as images of the raging Foreman flashed past her eyes, his wild violence was much like that of a wild cat...
         "But because the New Nefilim were becoming strong and powerful, Medel had to create a mechanism to keep them in place. He set out to design a slave that could control the New Nefilim using fear. This slave had to supersede the new powerful race, at the same time remain faithful and obedient to the Anunnaki gods, whom remained faithful and obedient to him. Thus he began to break the rules and use reptiles, it was these breeding experiments that gave birth to Aquilla."
         "AQUILLA?" Zara gasped, suddenly realizing there was indeed a huge void in the mythology books, no one knew where Aquilla came from, no one had even asked!
         "Yes" Nepheus assured. "Medel was excited by her creation at first, she was a promising asset, a monster he would be able to unleash vast amounts of terror from, a real dragon. There was just one problem. Aquilla was divided in monstrous ways. Once she had unleashed vast amounts of terror she fell psychologically ill inside her cage, saddened to death by the fear she had instilled in the hearts she loved so dearly. A war broke out inside of her, her Phoenix and Archonic spirits were so strong they couldn't reside together, if the Phoenix Spirit didn't dominate her being, she wouldn't survive.
         Medel soon fell victim to her angry wrath and found her to be unmanageable, her fiery breath was dangerous, she was melting bars and escaping her cage, nothing could contain her. Although terrified of his own creation, Medel didn't want to destroy her either, she was a valuable test subject, her wrath was useful, he was certain he could channel it correctly. He kept her hidden in an underground mine, heavily guarded with New Nefilim, trained to use torture and food to subdue her in the safety of secrecy."
         "So Medel was a Creator god" Zara was beginning to understand how it got so twisted.
         "You could argue that" Nepheus replied. "But Medel was no god, he was an Archonic Star People, the Original Nefilim who made him were now trapped in the dungeon beneath the palace. Medel's flaw was that he was arrogant and that made him stupid. He was overconfident in his abilities to subdue the monster and decided to terrorize the slaves during a celebration in the Grand Courtyard by introducing her as a new military weapon, the first of many that he would create to protect them from the predators in the forest. The plan worked at first, the slaves were scared to death of the enormous and terrifying monster snorting smoke and blowing red hot embers from inside her golden cage."
         "She?" Zara questioned. "I thought she was a he."
         "Aquilla's a hermaphrodite, she's like the Anunnaki, like the Nummo, sort of" Nepheus explained. "She gives birth unto herself. We refer to hermaphrodites as 'she's', she reproduces, therefore he is also a she.
         Locked away in the dark dungeon, Aquilla had never experienced the outside world, she had a psychological breakdown after she saw her own destruction, the terror in the eyes of all those loving hearts left scars on her soul."
         Zara felt a chill run down her spine as the storyline twisted it's way into a modern world that troubled her so, mythical characters she had actually encountered, she didn't want to believe any of it.
         "The beauty of the world Aquilla had been hidden from made her angrier than she had ever been before. She erupted in a violent rage and blasted through the bars of the cage in an explosive spectacle. The gods on the royal stage fled in fear, terrified of her blazing wrath. But Aquilla was only after Medel. She leapt up onto the royal stage and blasted him with her fiery wrath before everyone's eyes, incinerating him to ashes on the spot. Terrified and in shock by what she had done and discovered, Aquilla then bolted, she galloped through the crowds of screaming onlookers and fled the city. She's been hiding inside Mount Ekar ever since."
