Chapter 6 – The Final Human Abomination
Regardless of the things that happened to him yesterday, Aaron wakes up refreshed and ready to go on another mission. At the breakfast table, it’s odd for him to talk to his friends because they’re technically dead, but he doesn’t let that oddness show on his face or affect his voice. He goes to the Father, alone, and bows before him, ready to receive his new orders.
“I am glad that you’re okay, Aaron.”
“I know I have to be strong. I can’t let what happened yesterday keep me down.”
“That is good because today is of great importance. The humans that have turned away my help have used Lucifer’s unholy powers to unite themselves into one last abominable being. This creature is rampaging on earth along with Lucifer himself and his army of demons. Once they are put back in hell with the rest of the fallen, I will purify earth so that humanity can live on it again.”
“So, this battle will finally be over.”
“Correct. All of my available warriors will fight in this battle alongside the Spirit and Emmanuel. I will be there as well.”
“You will?”
“Of course. I’ve always been on the frontlines, so why wouldn’t I be there for the final battle?”
“Oh, that’s right. You’ve always helped us from the start. I’m sorry for letting that slip my mind.”
“Do not worry about it. Since you cannot fight this final battle by yourself, I have a little friend who will be joining you. He will defend you to his dying breath.”
A little white dog appears from behind the Father and goes to Aaron. Aaron is shocked at first since he hasn’t seen an animal that doesn’t want to kill him, but he calms down since the dog appears to be friendly. It licks his face and happily barks at him while rubbing up against him.
“Friendly little creature isn’t he? He’s a dog, a white husky in particular,” the Father says, “You can name him whatever you want.”
“Ummm. How about Cerberus?”
“That’s a great name. Our forces are assembling on earth. Go and meet them for the final battle is about to start.”
“Yes, Father.”
Before Aaron leaves for the final battle, Alexis and Lars meet him at the exit of the castle. They both hug him, and he hugs them back.
“Go out there and kick their butts, bro,” Lars says.
“Give them hell, babe,” Alexis says.
“They will literally get hell, Alexis.”
“I know but it’s a saying.”
“But it’s also literally what he’s doing.”
“Oh, shut up!”
Aaron chuckles a bit before saying, “Thank you. I’ll be back before you know it.”
Aaron then leaves the Father’s realm and appears on the front lines. In front of him are the Father, Emmanuel, and the Spirit in a triangular formation.
Both of them speak at the same time, “Retreat back to hell all ye servants of evil or face the wrath of the Almighty.” Their combined voices shake the earth and the demonic army while their own allies are unaffected other than their being in awe.
The demonic army responds with a war cry as it charges forward and unleashes their attack. The forces of good respond in turn with their own war cry with the war cry of the trinity destroying the lesser and some of the stronger soldiers of the demonic army. Aaron and Cerberus engage their target, which is an abomination. A man-made human made with the composition of long extinct apes, mammals, and the remainder of the fallen humanity on earth. Its skin is as thick as the black and red Leviathan’s and its screams sound like the suffering of the world in a single voice. Cerberus, despite his cute appearance, is a fierce and merciless fighter who evenly fights the human abomination. This allows Aaron to cut apart the monster until its core heart is exposed. He stabs the core, which makes the abomination rapidly decompose and rot.
With that last bit of “humanity” out of the way, Cerberus and Aaron join the fight to help finish off the demonic army who is no match for the forces of good, especially with the trinity visible on the battlefield. The battle goes on for mere seconds before it comes down to a fight between the trinity and Lucifer. The forces of good encircle the two so they can fight one-on-one. The trinity becomes one body of pure light and goodness that could make a person die if they just looked at him. Despite the overwhelming power that radiates from him, Lucifer fights him but is taken down and thrown into hell with the rest who follow him.
Victory is achieved as the sun rises and life is restored to the earth. The forces of good cry out in victory and rejoice. Some of them start to play music and others begin to sing, but everyone is praising the trinity. The rubble and destruction are cleared from the earth as it is born anew. The birds of the sky, fish of the sea, and mammals of the land rise up from the ground and populate the earth. The remainder of humanity that follows the trinity are given reign and responsibility for the earth. That includes Aaron who is the head leader of them all since he is the most in unison with the trinity. He is not allowed to go back to the Father’s realm until he dies.
Aaron asks the Father why this is, and he says, “Why do you worry about this? You will always be with me and therefore connected with all your friends.”
“Oh, of course. I just…It’s just so much to absorb all at once.”
“Be strong and guide your flock. Whatever you say in unison with me will be without error. Feed my sheep and watch over them. These are your orders you are to carry out from today till the day you die.”
“Yes, Father.”
Once a small settlement is set up, the remaining humans rest for the rest of this day and the following day. This is when the rules of living are written down and taught to everyone, so they can pass it onto their young. Aaron never marries nor do his helpers because they are married in a way to the trinity. They erect statues and temples to worship the trinity. They also make places of learning and spiritual and physical healing. The first year and the following years that this generation is alive are some of the best that humanity has seen in years. A fitting rebirth for the extraordinary. The extraordinary that is goodness and love itself.
Epilogue – Same old, Same old
A few generations pass after Aaron’s generation dies. Humanity has expanded and split into different communities. The rules they have written down have changed, been added to, and gone back to normal a couple times. Because so much time has passed, and life has been peaceful, people start to forget the lessons of the past. This ignorance and disrespect for the past leads to fighting and culminates with the murder of a sibling. Watching from the Father’s realm, Aaron prays for his successor who is weak to error.
“You see, this wouldn’t’ve happened if I was their leader,” Lars comments.
“If you were their leader, there would’ve been more bloodshed,” Alexis retorts.
Aaron holds his hands in front of his friends before returning them to a prayer position, “Be still and pray for those who work day and night so that humanity does not fall like it did when we were kids.”
“I miss your older way of talking. Now you talk like a wise man who lectures people and shows off their wisdom.”’
“He’s earned it, Lars. Don’t be jealous.”
“You know I thought spending all eternity with you would be nothing but fun, but all you do is bicker at each other non-stop. If I could die again to silence it, I would.”
Lars and Alexis laugh out loud, but Aaron holds in his laughter until he cannot anymore.
Aaron speaks through his successor to everyone around him on earth in unison with the trinity. “Brothers and sisters. Even though sin and suffering has reentered the world, love, kindness, and truth has returned as well. Let us work day and night until the end of the world when evil will completely vanish. Even though everyone on earth is worthy of salvation, a lot of people will not accept it. Try every day of your lives to bring them to us so they can share in our love and happiness. Do not faulter because love itself is on our side and with us always. The final victory will be ours.”
Everyone on earth and in heaven cheer out as their spirits are rejuvenated and ready to do good against the evils of the world who are already enacting their next moves.
The End
