The Annunaki War

Conversion

 Enki's craft flitted among the clouds, quickly leaving North American airspace and zooming over the Pacific. In the co-pilot's chair,  Amaro frantically tried to make sense of what had just happened. None of what had just transpired made any sense. His leading of the war party against the goliaths, his subsequent capture and care at the hands of those same goliaths, and his rescue by a being that loooked like Ganesha, but who was most certainly not Ganesha - and he needed some answers.

"Ok. You're obviously not Ganesha," he finally spoke.  "Which one are you?" 

"What do you mean 'which one am I'?" Enki casually replied.

"Ganesha, my father - he told me there were more like him. So which one are you?"

"You are mistaken, young Amaro. I am not one of Ganesha's ilk, much as he might wish you to believe so."

"But,  you look just like him," Amaro argued. 

Without warning, the spacecraft took a hard dive, and slipped beneath the waves of the Pacific. The craft cut through the water effortlessly, bypasing whales, fish, and all manner of other marine life. "Once, I was like him, it's true," Enki allowed. "But that was before. Now, I am superior to all of them in every way."

"So, who are you?" Amaro asked again.

"I am Yahwew!" Enki thundered, in a voice so loud it seemed to reverberate within the ship itself. "I am the one true god. The god of Moses, Noah, and the one true divine of the goliaths! Before me, the other Annunaki are as nothing, not worthy of being called gods."

Amaro considered this claim and how it related to his most recent predicament. "The goliaths - they're loyal to you?"

Enki nodded with a grin. "Few sentient beings are so bold as to defy their creators. The Goliaths are loyal to a fault, if nothing else."

"You created them?"

"I created everyone," Enki boasted. "Made in my image, most have simply forgotten. The goliaths have a better memory than the humans do."

"That's why they didn't kill me, why they kept me nourished, even why they invaded our camp and captured me?"

Enki smiled at Amaro's easy grasp of the situation."Go on," he nudged.

"Well, that's what I don't get." he admitted. "Why? Why do all this? What do you need me for?"

"I needed to recruit someone spawned from one of the imposters. I needed to expose those imposters as such, to instill true belief in that person, that he may lead my army, and gain control of the Earth."

"Why do you need someone spawned of diety blood? Couldn't you expose them to anyone?"

"Amaro, you have... gifts, given to you by your father," Enki explained. "Some, you undoubtedly have discovered, others, you have not. Surely  you've taken note of your strength, of your  exceptional fortitude, your legendary exploits in bed, and your empathic abilites?  Indeed, your name even means ' strong' in your native tongue. Rest assured, when the time is right, you will discover the others. These gifts make you a great warrior, and a compelling figure around which to rally- far superior than any normal human, in fact. That is why I need you. Help me expose these fraudsters for what they are, and help me claim my rightful throne as the true god of this world."

"There's just one problem with your plan so far," Amaro shrugged. "You haven't exposed anyone as an imposter. You've merely claimed it."

Enki's rage began to boil over before he got it back in check. "Consider,  Amaro, if Ganesha were truly as omnipotent as I am, why would he not rescue you himself? You are his flesh and blood, after all."

"Perhaps he didn't know I was alive. I should be dead, after all."

"Then you have just answered your own question. If Ganesha were my equal, he would have known you were alive anyway, regardless of any machinations by me." Enki's logic was infallible, yet he continued. "Either he thought you were dead, or he knew you were alive and left you there to rot. Either way, he is not worthy of being held up as a god. Wouldn't you agree?"

Amaro considered the argument, then conceded the point. "Your logic is, regretably, undeniable."

"So, you are ready to swear fealty to me? To go forth and spread word of my supremacy to all the peoples of the Earth?"

"What would you have me do, lord?" Amaro took a bow in his chair as Enki's craft broke the surface of the water and became airborne once again, flitting just above the Himalayas on its way to the Arabian penninsula.

"The first thing we need to do is give you a good, Jewish name. We can't expect my subjects to follow one who is not one of them."

"What would you suggest?"

"You are my favored son, as you will be to them. I dub you 'David'. It means 'beloved', for that is what you are destined to become."

"I am honored, lord god, and will graciously except my new moniker. I will not let you down."

"Excellent," said Enki with a grin, as the craft settled onto the toop of Mount Ararat, where Noah's ark had come to rest centuries before. "Then it's time to meet your soldiers!" The hiddden elevator in Mount Ararat's summit began to lower,  taking an amazed David into the bowels of the mountain, with Enki looking on in elation. "Now, David," Enki depressed a button on his ship's console, and the lights inside Noah's secret laboratory flickered on. "Behold!"
