Within the eternal kingdom atop creation, is the Angel known as Ramiel, thunder of God.
In some stories, it is also said that Ramiel was a fallen watcher.
Ramiel is also known as the archangel of hope.
He has two tasks;
He is responsible for divine visions and he guides the souls of the faithful into heaven.
Ramiel has a daughter, a young girl by the name of Rena.
" Papa, why did Cain kill Abel? "
" You see sweety, there are many factors, envy, greed and lust for power " said the thunder of God.
" But they were brothers? " said Rena in her innocent tone of a child.
Ramiel meditated for a moment.
" Indeed. They were family, but sins sometimes go beyond the bonds of blood "
Rena rested her head on her father's chest.
Ramiel put his wings around his daughter, like a blanket.
After Rena had awoken from her sleep, it was time to go.
" I love you, papa "
" I love you more, my darling girl "
Rena then teleported out from heaven.
The thunder of God was now alone, the only thing that could be heard, was the thundering beating of his lonely heart.
Now, a bit of context;
This story is about Remus, who killed his brother, Romulus, Remus then became King and named his great city; REME!
In honor of his fallen brother, Remus built a black tomb, which would later be found in 2020.
Remus also built a majestic statue in honor of his adopted mother, the divine wolf; Lapu.
Remus also built the Reman Forum.
But in the beginning, the people of Reme were only filled with men, so Remus invited the Sabine women to join his kingdom, which they did.
There are also other people who live in Reme, they are known as the Mahometans, who are all descended from Alexander, by the daughter of Darius, King of the Persians.
This people has a breed of horses, who are all descended from Buccephalus.
There is a man of the Mahometans, a young man by the name of Alex.
Alex has become the general of King Remus.
Alex also has a horse; Buck, this horse is one of the mightiest of the descendants of Buccephalus.
Buch is even said to surpass his ancestor.
Now, let the adventures of The Forever Capital begin!
The other brother
Rena finds herself within the heart of Reme.
Everywhere she looks, there are statues, paintings and people in beautiful clothes, the city is truly like a living painting.
Rena could even see a colosseum and a theatre.
Rena walked down to the theatre and watched the current play.
" So, does a child like yourself enjoy these kinds of plays? " said a stranger sitting next to Rena.
" I don't know. It is my first time seeing a play, but, if I may ask, why is the actor pulling out his own eyes? "
" Well, he did just find out that he had been sleeping with his own mother…. " said the stranger with a smirk.
Rena just looked at the stranger.
" Now tell me, of whose child you are "
" I am the daughter of the thunder, " said Rena.
The stranger's eyes widened, his breathing became faster and his palms were sweaty.
" The thunder….. " uttered the stranger.
" Yes, I am his daughter " said Rena, confused at the stranger's reaction.
" Is your father here?! " said the stranger, who quickly realized the answer to his question.
" No… he is known to father children and then refusing to take responsibility… "
The stranger looked at the sweet innocent girl in front of him.
" Worry not child. For I shall now become your new father " said the stranger with a smile.
" Okay…. but who are you? " said Rena.
" Is it not obvious? " the stranger then struck a mighty pose and then said;
" I am Reme itself. I am King Remus! " yelled the mighty King.
Rena just looked at King Remus, while the people applauded their King.
" And what might your name be? " asked the King.
" My name is Rena "
" Well, Rena. From this day onward, I shall be your father " said the King proudly.
" Okay…. " said Rena, still a little confused at the current situation.
King Remus now took young Rena to her new home, the palace of the King.
The King and Rena were met by the King's advisor, and the two boys who were being raised by the advisor.
" Sire you have returned " said the advisor.
" It is good to be back, Callicles, " said the King.
The two young boys then noticed Rena.
" Who is she? " said they both.
" This is Rena, my daughter, " said King Remus.
" Rena .... " said the two boys, who liked the sound of Rena's name.
" Rena, this is Iron and Apollonius, they are Callicles' adopted sons " said the King, but, what none of them knew, was that Iron and Apollonius were the sons of a certain British King, probably the most well-known and beloved British King.
Rena met the young general, Alex.
Rena also met Alex's young squire, a boy by the name of; Herostratos.
The day continued with King Remus showing Rena the mighty Forever Capital.
The loyal wives
Rena had just been at the dock/port of Reme, where she met Sam Bellamy and his wife; Julia(daughter of Caesar)
Sam and Julia are King Remus' greatest sailors.
This couple has conquered the seven seas.
Rena now found herself in one of the many exquisite gardens of Reme, and in this garden, Rena saw a crow and a peacock.
Rena was walking around the garden, letting all her senses enjoy every inch of the garden, Rena then heard two people arguing.
" No way. My husband is the worst, for he impregnates everything that breathes! At least your husband is also known as a god of wisdom "
" That may be, but unlike your husband, my husband goes out traveling, leaving me all alone, while he is in one of the nine-worlds fathering children "
The two women now started laughing.
" Seriously, why do we put up with their cheating and bullshit "
" Yeah….. Maybe because; we are loyal and don't want things to fall into chaos "
The women now giggled for a bit, while they were bonding over their poor choice in marriage.
They both now noticed Rena.
" Oh, hello little one " said one of the women, with the tone of a loving mother.
" So, you have finally come, " said the other.
" Were you two expecting me? " said Rena, and both women nodded their heads.
After having gotten a better look at the women.
Rena was for a moment stunned by their beauty, and from that day onward, whenever Rena saw something pretty, it would never match up to the living beauties that were the two individuals before her.
" Uhm, what are your names? " said Rena.
" I am Hera "
" And I am Frigg "
" Frigg and Hera…. and what brings you two to Reme? " said Rena.
" Well, you did, " said Hera.
" Me? " said Rena both confused and honored.
" Indeed. From this day onward, we shall be with you, wherever you go " said Frigg.
" But…. how? " asked Rena.
" Close your eyes, and stand still " said Hera.
" We will do the rest, " said Frigg.
Rena did as she was told, and seconds later, she felt a warm light enter her body.
Rena opened her eyes, but she could no longer see Hera and Frigg.
" Where did they go?.... " said Rena, sounding a little sad.
" We are right here " said Frigg, from within Rena.
Rena looked down at her body.
" In here? " said Rena, while pointing at her chest.
" Well, we have inhabited your whole body, but yeah, we are also at your chest " said Hera.
" So, you two are always with me? " asked Rena.
" Forever and ever " said the two mother-goddesses and Queens of their respective pantheons.
Rena now had a warm smile on her face.
Rena ran back to the palace, while feeling joyful and happy.
" Wait…. you are the daughter of the thunder?!?!?!" said Hera.
" Not your thunder " said Frigg.
" Ohhhhhh " said Hera, sounding relieved.
The eye of God
Rena was riding on Sleipnir, the two of them were taking a journey, exploring the lands far and near to Reme.
" So Sleipnir is really the son of Loki? " said Rena.
" Indeed, " said Frigg.
Rena was a bit confused.
" Sweety, if you think that is weird, know that my husband gave "birth" to Athena and Dionysus " said Hera.
Rena was now more confused.
Rena's journey now took her far east, where something weird happened.
" Strange. It is noon, but why is it so dark? " said Rena.
" Uhm…. honey…. look up " said Frigg.
Rena looked up and did not believe her eyes.
Rena was looking at a tower, the Tower of Babel, turned-upside-down.
" Uhm…. what? " said Rena while still looking at the floating colossal structure
Rena then looked ahead, where she saw a woman standing in the middle of the road.
Rena quickly made Sleipnir stop.
" Sorry. Are you okay? " said Rena.
The woman just looked at the young Nephilim, intrigued.
" I am well, " said the woman.
" Great. Uhm. Who are you? " said Rena.
" I am Semiramis, but please, call me Shammuramat, or Sham for short " said Sham as a dove landed on her shoulder.
" Okay. Do you perhaps know where that tower came from? " said Rena as she pointed to the tower above.
" Well of course I do, it is my tower after all " said Sham with a smile.
Rena was taken back by those words.
Sham then snapped her fingers.
" What did you- but before Rena could finish, the very earth from behind Sham cracked open, and out came a beast, a serpent, bigger than the tower, bigger than the world itself.
" This is my pet, Bahamut " said Sham as her pet was looking down at tiny Rena and Sleipnir.
" Okay….. but… why? " said Rena.
Rena then noticed Sham looking up at the sky.
" So now you come, " said Sham with a smile.
Rena looked up and saw a gigantic four-winged bird fly down towards Bahamut.
Rena also noticed the beautiful colored feathers of the bird.
The bird grabbed Bahamut with its talons and brought the head of Bahamut down to the ground.
" I was wondering what Anqa was doing up in the sky. It seems that she was looking out for you " said Sham while looking at Rena.
" Me? " said Rena, surprised.
" If you wouldn't mind, kindly call off your pet " said Sham.
" Uhm…. come here? " said Rena, and just like that, the enormous Anqa flew over to Rena.
Rena noticed Sham petting Bahamut's colossal head, so Rena now petted Anqa's head.
" You did well, thank you, " said Sham.
Bahamut now returned back into the earth.
" You did well, thank you, " said Rena.
Anqa now flew back into the setting sun.
Rena looked, but she could no longer see Sham.
" Up here! "
Rena looked up, and saw Sham at one of the entries of Babel.
Rena flew up to the entrance, with the help of Sleipnir.
" Come, let me give you a tour of my tower, " said Sham.
Rena saw a lot of Babel, she even saw the library, where she met the librarian; Gróa.
Rena and Sham finally reached the throne-room, where Sham now sat on her majestic throne.
" Now, tell me a little about yourself, " said Sham.
" Well. My name is Rena, I am the daughter of the thunder and I live in Reme "
Sham just smiled.
" What? "
" Sorry. Nergal is just laughing in my head " said Sham.
" Nergal? Who is that? "
" The god who is inhabiting my body "
" You too? " said Rena amazed.
" What do you mean; you too? " said Sham, confused.
" I also have gods inhabiting my body " said Rena.
" Really? " said Sham, surprised.
" But why was Nergal laughing? " asked Rena.
" Reme? Rome! " said Sham with a smile.
" What is Rome? " said Rena, confused.
Sham just looked at the serious look of Rena.
" Nevermind…." Said Sham.
" So, what kind of powers has Nergal given you? " asked Rena.
" I have full control and access to plague, disease and death. You? " said Sham.
" Well, I have a couple, since Hera and Frigg are known for so many things, " said Rena.
" Hera and Frigg…. " said Sham with a smile.
Rena and Sham could now hear two voices coming towards the throne-room.
" Witch! "
" Bitch! "
" Witch!! "
" Bitch!! "
" WITCH!!! "
" BITCH!!! "
Rena saw Sham rubbing her own forehead.
Rena now saw two women, so beautiful, that I won't even try and describe their beauty, for words would fail me.
One of the women noticed Rena.
" Hello there. Who are you? "
" I am Rena. You? "
" I am Ganieda, the greatest mage who ever lived "
The other woman scoffed.
" Who are you? " asked Rena.
" I am Medea, and I! Am the greatest mage who ever lived "
Ganieda and Medea glared at each other.
" Witch! "
" Bitch! "
" ENOUGH! " yelled Sham.
" Dinner is ready, " said another voice.
" Who are you? " asked Rena
" I am Melusine, servant of Semiramis, and I am hoping that you will join us for dinner "
" Sure " said Rena, who had used all her energy trying to make sense of everything.
All the ladies now eat, and Rena later returned back to Reme.
Part 2
Julia
Rena was riding back to Reme, it was in the middle of the night.
Rena then felt the very earth itself shake, and she could also hear thunder nearby, but the thunder did not come from the sky, but from the feet of running cattle.
Rena now saw a chariot, pulled by four bulls, but these bulls were all yellow, bright as the sun, and the man on the chariot, looked like the sun itself.
The man pulled up next to Rena.
" Greetings young lady, my name is Elpenor, and I was hoping you could help me get home "
" Those bulls….. they are the cattle of the sun… " said Hera.
" Sure. Where is your home? And, my name is Rena "
" I am trying to get to Camelot, I wish to visit my parents, perhaps you have heard of them? Sir Escanor the Large and Queen Boudica " said Elpenor.
Rena was quiet for a moment, she then looked at the four mighty bulls.
" Oh, these four " said Elpenor with a proud smile.
" They are known as the cattle of the sun, their names; Morning, evening, sunrise and sunset "
Elpenor now looked back at Rena hoping to get an answer.
" Sorry, but I think that you are in the wrong place and wrong time…. " said Rena.
" Darn! It is like father always said; My boy, you must always find the bright path, like the sun! And…. "
" And? "
" And never drink too much. Let us just say that I had a problem when I was younger… " said Elpenor, remembering some nights where he woke up on different rooftops, and he would later get a long lecture from his mother.
" Well. Thanks anyway! " said Elpenor as he guided his bulls towards the sky where the sun now teleported away, trying to get back home.
Rena just took a deep breath.
" Getting tired? " said Frigg.
" No…. I am exhausted…. " said Rena, who now rested on Sleipnir's back.
The two goddesses would watch over Rena as she rode back home, where she got a long lecture from the King, who was worried half to death from Rena being gone so long.
After having gotten a looooooong and good night sleep.
Rena went out with Iron and Apollonius.
" Rena! What do you think of these flowers?! " said Iron.
" They are pretty "
" Rena! What do you think of these pebbles?! " said Apollonius.
" They rock "
" Pebbles? Really bro? " said Iron with a smirk.
Iron just threw the pebbles into Apollonius' face.
The two brothers then wrestled each other on the ground, and while they were wrestling, Rena went down to the dock.
" Hey! Rena! " said Sam, who was captain of the Julies.
" What brings you here? " said Julia, wife of Sam and co-captain of the Julies.
" I just came for a visit, " said Rena with a smile.
" Captains! Captains!! " said one of the sailors.
" What is it? " asked Sam, seeing his sailor breathing heavy and sweating like crazy.
" The water…. there is something in the sea!!! " said the sailor as he passed out from fear.
Sam, Julia and Rena saw something big and dark move around within the Tyrrhenian sea.
The monster now arose, and looked like a female version of the Kraken, with the form from Clash of The Titans.
The big scaly, slimy and monstrous beast looked down at the tiny individual at the dock.
" Julia…. " said Hera.
" What? " said Rena.
" The monster before you is known as Julia, " said Frigg.
" She is also the wife of the Kraken, " said Hera.
Rena had only one thing to say;
" What? "
" What is it? Rena " said Julia(daughter of Caesar)
" The monster, its name is Julia, " said Rena.
" Really? Did they name a monster after my wife? " said Sam with a grin.
Julia, the human, just looked at her husband, and instead of saying- what do you mean by that?- she said;
" I am honored to be named after such a fearsome beast! " she said proudly.
" Great, but like you, it looks hostile, " said Sam.
" Worry not, for I got this " said Frigg.
Julia, the monster, was now wrapped in a lot of seaweed, and other various plants from within the ocean, even the water dragged the monster back into the depths of the sea.
" Wow… " said Rena.
" I did not know that you were a goddess of nature? " said Hera.
" Well, how do you think I got the elements to promise not to harm my son " said Frigg with a smile.
" Yeah. Too bad he died " said Hera.
Frigg was now depressed and sad.
" I'm sorry!! " yelled Hera.
Julia now returned to her husband, the Kraken.
Sam and Julia, told Rena of the time they met Jormungandr and Nessie, and how those two "monsters" were actually very nice and kind and a happy couple.
Serpent P
Rena was having a nice picnic with Olaf and Fle(the elf-maiden)
After the picnic, Rena returned back to Reme, and where she saw Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet paint living art with lots of life and color.
" Child, you look exchuasted. Are you getting enough sleep? " asked Callicles.
" To be honest…. this has been a couple of weeks… filled with a lot of information… " said Rena, who had her face resting in a book within the Alex-remias library within Reme. The library was located next to the lighthouse, which was called; the Alexiander.
" Hey Callicles, it is too quiet in here… where are Iron and Apollonius? "
" They are training with Alex and Herostratos- but as Callicles was finishing what he said, he noticed that Rena was already asleep.
The old man smiled and then put a blanket on Rena.
" Father…. " said Rena quietly.
Callicles could then hear the sound of thunder outside.
" She really is the daughter of the thunder… " said Callicles.
Hera looked at Frigg, but Frigg just smiled and shook her head, which made Hera calm down.
From all the way at Mount Parnassus, was the serpent Python.
The colossal serpent was making its way towards Reme, but that was when lighting roasted the serpent.
Python, defeated, returned back home, to her husband, the Leviathan.
The eight-armed giant
" Are you sure that this is not Rome? " said Marco Polo.
" Yes, this is Reme! " said King Remus.
" But, why Reme? " asked Herodotus.
" I named my city after myself " said the King proudly.
The two lia- I mean- historians, eagerly wrote down what they saw and heard within the Forever Capital.
Later that day.
Rena was training swordmenship and the art of combat, with- you will never guess it- Medea and Ganieda.
" I don't get it, are you two not mages? " said Rena as she was dodging a blow.
" We are, but that does not mean that physical combat should be unknown to us. Mages also need a fit body " said Ganieda, who was very fit.
" We must prepare for every possibilty. There might be moments where our mage could fail us. So it helps being in shape " said Medea, who was in very good shape.
The afternoon continued thus, with all the ladies sweating sweet juice of working out.
" Dinner is almost ready, please come in and wash yourselves! " yelled Melusine from atop the tower, for all the ladies were on the ground training.
(I just want to say, that it is Melusine who teaches the ladies how to defend themselves)
" We are coming! " yelled Ganieda back.
As Medea was about to teleport all of them back to the tower, the ground underneath them all now started to shake.
" Uhm…. what is happerning? " asked Rena, who then saw something block the very sun, a giant had appeared.
" Starkaðr? Hey Semiramis! Why did you summon Starkaðr?! " yelled Ganieda towards the tower.
" I was bored " said Sham as a floating screen.
" Uhm… okay… " said Rena as she was looking at the eight-armed giant, who looked very armed.
" Hey Rena? " said Medea.
" Yes? "
" Ask Hera to bring out Argus "
Before Rena could say anything, the earth opened and out came Argus.
As Argus and Starkaðr were fighting, all the ladies were eating while watching the battle.
Argus did win, but it took him some time, since Starkaðr has the blessing of three lifetimes.
Rena now had an idea.
Part 3
The very First Citizen
" So, what you are saying, is that they just appeared out of thin air? " said King Remus.
" Yes sir " said general Alex.
" But, it looks like they are wearing reman gear and armor... "
" Yes sir "
" Hmmm, no matter, we shall defeat the enemy here and now! " yelled the mighty King of Reme.
" Yes sir " said the general with a smile.
A army had gathered near Reme, this army had appeared out of nowhere, but you guys know better.
The army was Roman in origin and was lead by the first Emperor, Augustus.
" Did you hear what they called themselves? " said Mark Antony.
" Yes, yes I did " said Emperor Augustus.
" Remans! Remans, Augustus " said Mark Antony, who was not respecting the Emperor's personal space.
" This is why I hunted you down, Antony " said Augustus, looking Mark deep within the eyes.
" But that was then! Or, soon? And this is now! " said Marcus Antonius, who only knew positivty.
Emperor Augustus signed and then smiled, he then raised his sword towards the sky.
" Men! I found Rome a city of bricks, and left it a city of Marble. Let us turn these Remans into Romans!!! " yelled the mighty first Emperor.
" Sire " said Alex, while looking at his King.
King Remus just had a grin.
" Men! I have only one thing to say…. let us show these pathetic Romans, why we Remans are awesome!! "
A grand battle followed.
Which all the ladies watched from within the tower.
Rena saw in awe, how mighty and majestic the King of Reme was.
The battle was won, and the Remans had triumphed.
The Dragon of the sea
Rena was in the library within the Tower of Babel.
Rena was reading 'A general History of the Pyrates ' after having read the book.
Rena ran into the throne-room, where she said;
" Sham, I have an idea! "
" So, what you are telling me, is that they appeared from thin air? " said King Remus.
" Yes sir " said Sam.
" And they are pirates? "
" Yes sir "
" ... "
" This is going to be epic, " said the King with a joyful smile.
A fleet of ships had now gathered near Reme.
" Tell me Diego, are you ready to ride with me to the end of the world? " said Francis Drake.
" Till the end of the world, and all the way down to Davy Jones' locker " said Diego.
The two men then fist-bumped.
A battle then followed, and I don't need to say that it was awesome and epic, after all, there were pirates involved.
In the end, King Remus proved and showed that he had not only conquered the land, but also the sea.
And Rena, well, she was impressed.
The Lombards
It was now time for the Forever Capital's greatest challenge yet, the Lombards.
But, before the Lombards could even make it to Reme, they were intervened by Medea and Ganieda, who both wanted some fun, and to prove who was the better mage.
" I am the greatest mage! " yelled Ganieda, who then snapped her fingers, which made all the Lombard disappear.
" I am! " yelled Medea, who then snapped her fingers, making all the Lombards reappear.
" Witch! " (snap)
The Lombards disappeared.
" Bitch! " (snap)
The Lombards reappeared.
" Witch!! " (snap)
The Lombards disappeared.
" Bitch!! " (snap)
The Lombards reappeared.
" WITCH!!! " (snap)
The Lombards disappeared.
" BITCH!!! " (snap)
The Lombards reappeared.
ENOUGH ALREADY!
" Wait, who said that? " - Medea.
Me!!
" Who is me? " - Ganieda.
ME THE WRITER!
" ….. " - both Medea and Ganieda.
DON'T YOU DEA-
(Snap)
