A Love Supreme: The Story of Donghua Dijun and Bai Fengjiu

Revelations 2.5: Genesis

Nuwa knew this wasn't an easy conversation to have and felt a bit sorry for Donghua. She knew he'd been through a lot, but hoped her words would bring him some peace after she finished. She sipped her wine and replied,"You are the child of Tiamat, the Babylonian Goddess of the Sea and Hou Yi, the Lord Archer. I met both of your parents when I was a diplomatic envoy in service to Father of the Gods."

"Hou Yi was a mortal who died during the Battle of Rimanis, nobody's ever heard of this person Tiamat," Donghua said as he placed the teacup on the table. "That's because he died before he could obtain full status and rank as an immortal and god. During that time, it was rare but not impossible for mortals and other creatures to complete the physical and cognitive evolutionary process with supernatural abilities. Those that did, were able to obtain immortality and status as gods. Father of the Gods was helping your father to complete the process, with the hope that he'd live among us in the Sky Kingdom", Nuwa replied, as she reached for the jug of wine and refilled her cup.

Nuwa sighed and continued,"That being said, your father traveled with me to Babylon, to acquire intelligence about military operations of the region and establish diplomatic relations with Anu, the King of the Annunaki and Babylon. During the our talks, we met your mother, who was a member of the Royal Council and a native of Babylon. During our stay at Anu's palace, your parents fell in love and made plans to marry after diplomatic ties were established.

However, Anu refused to accept your father's marriage proposal. Due to your mother's orphaned status, as her elder and head of state, Anu said it was forbidden for the Annunaki to marry anyone outside of their clan. Instead, Anu forced your mother to marry his son, the Crown Prince and God of Mischief, Enki. Afterwards, Enki forced your mother to have his child, and your brother Marduk, the God of Storms was born. Despite this, your parents still loved each other and maintained a clandestine relationship.

One day I learned that Father of the Gods requested that Hou Yi go to the Western Quadrant to prepare for his ascension. I received a vision and learned of your conception and ascension as Emperor of Heaven and Earth. I asked your parents to come to Abraxas, before your father embarked on his trip to the Western Quadrant. During their visit, I told your parents about the prophecy. Before your parents left, we recorded the prophecy on a sacred tablet. Your mother took the tablet home and sealed it in the Temple of Adunnu Enir.

When your father arrived in the Western  Quadrant, all pandemonium had broken loose.
The creatures Hou Yi encountered in the Western Quadrant, were considered aberrations. The population of these primitive and deformed beings with supernatural powers outnumbered the number of mortals who completed the evolutionary process without complications. Their primitive behavior and consciousness all but guaranteed the extinction of all creation and destruction of the heavens, if left alone. So, Hou Yi returned and reported his encounter to Father of the Gods.

On Father of the Gods order, your father and I went to Babylon to warn the Annunaki about the crisis and to request that Anu send troops to the battlefield. Since Anu had fallen ill, Enki prepared the troops and insisted that Tiamat accompany our military forces to the Western Quadrant. On the way to the Western Quadrant, a vision revealed to me that Enki had discovered the truth about your parent's relationship, the prophecy and the tablet, and planned to have your parents killed, using the war as a pretext for their murders. I told your parents and we made a plan for your mother's escape, and Hou Yi would go to the temple and retrieve the tablet after the battle,"and paused to sip a bit of wine.

From the look on Donghua's face, he appeared to be just as stunned as Bai Zhi, Zhe Yan and Si Ming were, as the information contradicted all they'd learned as children.

"How was she able to escape without arousing  Enki's suspicions?", Donghua asked.

"When Father of the Gods launched the Battle, your mother and I waited until Enki was nearby to see our show. Enki didn't know that your mother was a shape shifter. I used illusion sorcery and created the appearance she was being attacked by a beast, while she "died", transforming herself into vapor. This allowed her to shed her physical form and teleport to Abraxas, while I stayed behind to help your father," Nuwa said as she snapped her fingers and produced a fan before continuing. "When the battle was over, your father departed for Babylon and I returned to Abraxas to look after your mother. We created the cloud which is the foundation of your birthplace, and she built the Divine Palace.
