The Glassy Sky

HYPNOS: The Progenitor of Dreams

I was born in this world not a human but a spirit. A divine being. I didn't start out as a baby, rather I started out as a fully formed seraphim. A spirit who can manipulate dreams and amplify human being's power of imagination. But only a few in my lifetimes have I met a being so powerful that he or she can influence other person's perception of reality. This place that they called the dream world, used to be a place of balance between creatures you don't know have existed for eons. Creatures such as fairies, dwarves, elves, goblins, giants, and many more. Even the God's and angels from the heavens used to live in peace and harmony. They are called the celestials for they rule the sky. Humans can sometimes enter this world through doorways which the other spirits have created for them. This used to be where the enlightened ones can enter once they've achieved their ultimate reality and most of the time, they never come back to the physical world.

One day, everything changed when the Archangel Samael lead an army of seraphim's to obliterate the God's in charge. Samael grew tired of how the Gods are treating other creatures lowly especially their race the Seraphs for being called winged beast or foul creatures. Because of this need for change, he was forced to create an army of thousands of soldier to overthrow the Gods and establish a new order. Unfortunately, not all angels agreed with his way. All that bloodshed lead to nothing when Samael was defeated by his older brother Michael and Samael was forced by the God's to leave the heavens and rule the underworld along with his legion of angels called the fallen ones. And that's how humans began to call him Hades, as the lord of the underworld and in the recent times he's now called as Lucifer or Satan. It's funny how human imagination can name us through their beliefs, some of it might be true and some might be not.

When all other creatures suddenly left this world for the war has caused a great deal of damage in this world. All the creatures of the land have decided to create their own reality through the help of the fairy's magic. They created an alternate dimension where they can live in peace and harmony. The God's along with the Seraphim who sided with them also abandoned this place for it became uninhabitable to them. They also decided to create their dimension above the physical world where they can get along with the human souls who have died. Humans called it the afterlife. The God's also visited the underworld and saved the souls who can be spared to live a life of grace, while Samael was instructed to keep the damned souls in his watch for many centuries to come.

I on the other handwas left alone in this world, my twin brother is busy guiding souls to theafterlife while I became the guardian of dreams as the God's instructed. I am aloyal soldier after all. My twin brother Thanatos who's now known as Azrael inthe human world, sometimes visits me, but I do understand that he became busywith the new set of rules that the God's have established. I retained the doorsthat every human has. They can open it if they are courageous enough to leavetheir own dream world and truly manifest their potentials. However, thingschanged when Morpheus was trapped in this world. He started slaughtering everydream walker that he sees, for he thinks that he can find a way to escape thisworld. Until one day, I had enough, I approached him and told him that there'sno escaping this world unless there's a miracle that would happen. My twinbrother visited me one day, and informed me that there will come a day that awielder of the flaming sword will go to this tree that I'm guarding and willfinally defeat Morpheus. So for now, I'll be waiting for that day to come.
