There was chaos in the heavens as Angel Michael fought off Satan and the fallen angels as they tried to enter into the throne room and assassinate God. It was a bloody battle, good versus evil. God looked on from his throne in pity and wonder as to how Satan had gotten desperate to kill him for almost 2 billion years. Satan was bent on killing the creator of everything. God decided to give Angel Michael a helping hand. At the snap of His finger, Satan and all his angels were thrown into the abyss where they were to be locked for a thousand years before they are released. After this God called all the heavenly hosts and gathered a replica of their powers and put them into an orb. He turned the orb into an apple which he sent down to Earth with a prophecy that the first woman with child who ate the apple would bear a son, who will bring an end to Satan and his terror. They all praised God and He sent the apple down to the Earth and it crashed into the ground germinating into a tree with only one apple on it.
Five years later.....
A young woman was returning home from work in the fields, she was stressed out and dog tired, and she was pregnant. She didn't have many friends aside from those who she held close. She lived in the middle of the town and the only way to get there was to pass through the dark forest. She made her way through the dark forest alone,she practically knew it like the back of her hand since she had passed here many times. She was a short petite femme with a shapely body, blue eyes and blonde hair which made her a prize for any man. As she walked through she became hungry and decided to get something to eat but she was in the middle of the forest. So there was no option than to get a fruit. She searched through the forest and came upon a tree, an unusually healthy tree with very green leaves but only one fruit;an apple. She walked towards it and she studied the fruit. It was appealing to the eyes and its reflection shone in her eyes as she stared at it. She plucked the fruit and studied it, then....., she took a bite and it was so sweet, nothing like she had ever tasted. As she turned to look at the tree, it had vanished. Out of shock she dropped the apple and as she returned to pick it up it too had vanished..
She continued her journey towards the center of the village. When she got there everyone was in a hustle, moving to and fro, whispering here and there, some giggling all around the messenger of the prophet Benaiah. "This is the prophecy to be given to you. The child of prophecy who is to be born is due. He shall rid the world of its evil, and the enemy that bringeth forth such evil, the Devil. As she listened, she didn't understand, what prophecy, what child and whats more, what the hell was going on. She decided to ask a friend what the messenger meant and her friend Marge said " The prophets foretold that a child will be born who possesses the powers of the heavens itself". "What else?" , the young woman asked but her friend had sped off already. She was dumbfounded, speechless if you will. All these thoughts ran through her mind and her lady thought was the apple and the tree, then..........
The young woman opened her eyes to find herself in a hospital and a nurse holding something in her hand, more like someone, a baby. " Here is your bouncy baby boy", the nurse said with a broad smile. She lifted her baby from the nurses hand and caressed his head. " Whatcha gonna call him?" asked the nurse. " Raziel, like his father", she smiled to the nurse and thanked her as the nurse exited her room, the baby opened his eyes and what she saw shocked her. His eyes, as white as daylight and they were like they were on fire. She kept it to herself and covered her baby's head and left the hospital.
