Chapter One

I have already posted the prologue of my story "The War for Souls" and so I wanted to share with you the introduction of the first chapter. Keep in mind again that everything I post dealing with my story is subject to change because it is always a rough draft - an outline you might say. Ok, so enjoy:

Chapter One:

“Let us make man sovereign over this land we Holies of Three call Eden.” A great majestic voice spoke.

Another with a soft voice that sounded like the waves of the sea replied, “O King, Thy love unconditional strikes beginning with a mortal man. We Holies of Three shall make man sovereign over the land called Eden.”

“Great King, Teacher, and Son, do allow this servant a piece of this fortune. I will rise and be sovereign; why give my fortune to a mere mortal man?” A voice full of evil intent spoke in the courts.

“The Law has been writ; it cannot be changed so long as I shall live, fallen angel.” The first voice replied with authority.

“We, the Holies of Three, shall create a world where mortals live with free will. May it begin with a single breath of life.” The second added

And so it began. The King created by His own words a great land within the world of Spirea and named it Eden. The land of Eden became a kingdom great in beauty and was well known for its gardens and its abundance of fruit and vegetation. Its glory came from the sparkling unceasing waters that fed the land with its natural riches. The King by His own words divided the great waters into seas, rivers, ponds, lakes, and springs. From one giant river turned to four other rivers spreading all throughout the garden. The name of the first is Pison and it starts from this land and flows to the land of Havila, where there is gold and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone, which is known to every mortal man as the City of Gold. And the name of the second river is Gihon. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel which runs towards the east. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

He also made the ground to His liking: green grass, soft and hard sand, tall and small trees that bore fruit of all kinds. Afterwards, He allowed animals of all kinds of species dwell in this land – all anointed with a voice and a heart of service to the destined mortal man. This destined mortal man was mentored by the King Himself and his wife also was a servant of the King. The King blessed them with marriage and the land to start their life giving titles of nobility. In this land they were known as the King and Queen and it was important to know that this land was not only a land and kingdom, but ultimately the Garden of the King. The King’s Garden was the very beginning and ironically the beginning of my story...

There's more, but i'm not willing to share it just yet. I still have a lot of images, plots, words, etc to settle first and make it presentable (aka: make sense) :)

The next blog, i'll prolly talk about prophecy night ^.^
