Part 6
WILL FINDING ITS WAY IN THE DARKNESS
10,000 Years Ago
“Father, you must put a stop to this. Every day these creatures are becoming more unpredictable. The more unpredictable they get, the more unstable our precious world becomes.” Razor’s worries had finally worked their way past the fear of confronting his Father.
“Your world?.. That is my wife you’re talking about, and my seed. It is only natural that this would happen, Will finding its way in the darkness, but it is not the end yet…” De could see the concern on all their faces and the sincerity in their eyes.
“Father, we have worked tirelessly for billions of years to maintain order and harmony on Earth as you have asked.” Marion’s eyes glazed from tears withheld, “We’ve celebrated every birth and mourned every death. We have held her hand through all of these years, and now, this thing called ‘man’ threatens to put at naught all this, everything we have worked for, everything we have suffered for…” A tear finally escapes and runs down Marion’s cheek.
De holds him, cradling the back of Marion’s head in his powerful hand. A moment passes before De responds, “Sons and daughters, you are here with me, I have never kept anything from you. Please try to find patience in yourselves for my wife. I tell you, it is not the end yet, and she will be happy in the end, you will see… My love is always with you, what reason do you have to fret over such things?”
“Then what would you have us do about the situation?” Cupid asks a reasonable question.
“What’s out of your control is out of your control. Just keep doing your best, I will never ask anything more from you.”
Razor lashes out, “She is ours too! If you won’t do anything about this, I’ll take care of it mysel—“
“YOU WILL DO AS YOU’RE TOLD!” De’s voice thunders with the power of the Universe.
Razor shrinks in fear and turns around, head down, mumbling to himself, “Man has to be stopped, he has to be stopped, he has to be stopped, he has to b…” He emerges from the fear-induced hypnotic state, raising up and turning around to his brothers and sisters who are asking each other,
“What happened?”
“Where did he go?”
“Did anyone see where he went?”
De had vanished.
