Chereads / The adventures of the other Nephilim / Chapter 34 - The Nephilim of the Wiser-Philosopher King

Chapter 34 - The Nephilim of the Wiser-Philosopher King

10 wonderful years have gone by within Commodiana.

The kingdom, the people and even nature has known prosperity and peace under the Wiser-Philosopher King- Emperor Commodus.

But some things have changed, like Sera, who has gone from a cry-baby to a warrior without equal.

Sera now wields the mighty and legendary wind-sword; The Imhullu.

But there has been one problem which the poor Emperor really can't solve.

The many marriage proposals to beautiful Sera.

Once.

There were so many suitors, who came from across the whole world, that there was not enough space for everyone.

The good thing was that business has never been better.

The bad thing, as it seems, is that Sera's beauty and charm has brought all the boys(and some girls) to the Emperor's yard.

So Commodus decided to pull a Khutulun, and have the victor be worthy of Sera's hand in marriage.

There is only one difference.

It is not Sera who is fighting.

But it is the Emperor himself.

And as of yet, after thousands of battles.

Sera is still unmarried.

And Commodus will keep it that way.

For the Emperor truly believes.

That there is none worthy of his daughter.

Be it human or god.

Sera just finds the whole thing silly and funny.

But she does feel true joy to see that her father wants to protect her.

Just like her real father once did.

But right now.

Sera has just one goal in mind.

To find out who is hiding in the shadows.

The Bringer of Dirty-Storms

At a vast plain, sitting on a lone rock, while enjoying the wind and sight.

Is Sera and the rooster; Rome.

" Rome, I have been meaning to ask, " said Sera.

" Ask away "

" Are you a rooster or a chicken? "

" I am neither "

" Really? "

" Indeed! I am the feathered world-serpent!! (Cluck!) "

Sera just gave her dear friend a warm hug.

" Tell me. Have you found out who is behind all this? " asked Rome.

" I don't have a clue…. I don't even know where to begin… " said Sera.

" Ladies? " said Rome.

" I have no idea " said Pele.

" Me neither " said Khione.

" I see " said the rooster.

Rome could see that Sera was disheartened.

" Come now child. The world would be a better place, if you just smiled " said the chicken as he was petting Sera with his wind.

Sera showed a little smile.

" LOOK OUT! " yelled Pele.

Sera grabbed Rome and jumped out of the way as a lightning bolt struck down.

" (Cluck) what was that? "

Sera looked and saw a man, who looked like a giant, sitting on a winged horse.

" I don't believe it… that is the winged-horse of Sabazios… " uttered Khione in disbelief.

" Who is he?... " said Pele.

The rider dismounted his legendary horse.

Sera could feel hostility from the man, so she readied Imhullu.

" Name yourself " said Sera.

The man held his warhammer(version 40k) high towards the sky and then said these words;

" I am Asathor, wielder of Rinlöjm, the bringer of dirty-storms! "

Thunder could now be heard.

Sera now held Imhullu high.

" I am Sera, daughter of the Angel of war; Azazel, and the Emperor of Commodiana; Commodus "

Asathor now let out a mighty laugh.

" Ha-ha. I see. Our battle shall be legendary! " yelled the bringer of dirty-storms.

Sera prepared herself.

" You shall not fight alone " said the chicken.

" Really? And what can my soon to be dinner, do to aid the girl? " said Asathor with a grin.

Sera simply smiled as Rome transformed into his feathered world-serpent form, and Asathor's response was;

" That. That is cool "

A mighty battle now began, which resulted in the vast plain becoming more barren.

In the end.

Sera was able to trap Asathor with Khione's help.

" Now. I have some questions. Who sendt you? " said Sera.

Asathor had a bloody-smiled and then said;

" The Lady of the Great Earth, sendt me…."

Asathor and his horse now both turned into dust.

" Lady of the Great Earth? Guys. Do you know anyone by that title? " said Sera.

" To be fair. There are many gods and goddesses who go by that title. So we really can't say for sure…. " said Pele.

" I am sorry Sera. We just need more information, " said Khione.

" It is alright " said Sera as her whole body was now covered in sweat.

" I now know how the Emperor feels, every time he enters the colosseum " said Sera with a smile.

" Let us return home, for the time being " said Rome, stille in his feathered world-serpent form.

" Can I get a ride back? " asked Sera.

" Of course " said Rome with a smile.

The founder and the first Emperor

" Can I ask you three a question? " said Sera.

The three nodded their heads.

" Who was the Fisher-King? " asked Sera.

" The King of Ichthus, " said Segramor.

" His real name is Melchizedek, " said Andronia.

" He is the King, who waits. Till he has finally fulfilled his duty " said Florismarte.

" His duty finished. He may return back home. To the eternal kingdom atop the sky " said Segramor.

" But…. who does he wait for? " asked Sera.

" The Fisher King awaits, for one of his descendents, to set him free " said Andronia.

" Descendents? I didn't even know that he had children… " said Sera amazed.

" I see that someone has not read the gospels of Phillip and Mary Magdalene " said Florismarte.

Sera was quiet for a moment.

" Now. I have one final question. Are you three descended from Je-

But before Sera could finish.

Andronia caught a flying arrow.

" Hmmm. Where did this come from? " said Andronia, both amazed and confused.

" Sis. Look " said Segramor.

Before all four of them, there was now an entire army.

" How in the Messiah's name did we not notice them?.... " said Florismarte. Also amazed and confused.

" Does it really matter? I mean. We get to fight, " said Andronia with a smile.

" I guess that you're right " said Florismarte with a smile.

The children of Le Grand Chevalier now arose and readied themselves for battle.

" Sera. How about you sit this one out? " said Segramor with a smile.

" Sure. But. Do me a favor. Leave one of them alive " said Sera.

" We will do our best, " said Andronia.

Each knight now drew out their sword.

Florismarte wields; Ar.

Andronia wields; On.

And Segramor wields; Dight.

" Name yourself " yelled Florismarte to the leader of the army.

" I am the Emperor-King Flavius Romulus Augustus, the last Emperor of the eternal city "

(Note; Some historians say that it was Julius Nepos who was the last Emperor)

" The last Emperor? Were you the Emperor before Commodus? and now you are back for revenge? " said Segramor.

" Brother. Does it really matter? " said Andronia, who was ready to fight.

" Guess not " said Segramor.

The three knights now introduced themselves.

And with that done, the battle began.

I would just like to say.

That Florismarte, Andronia and Segramor went up against an entire army, which had horses, weapons of all kinds and chariots.

The battle that followed was so unbelievable, that even Mars was speechless.

Because.

In the end.

The three children of Le Grand Chevalier won, without a sweat.

But they remembered what Sera had asked, so they left the last Emperor alive.

Sera now asked;

" Who sendt you? "

" It was the goddess of the underworld, the sun and magic who sent us…"

The last Emperor now vanished into dust.

Sacking early

" I hope that those boys have learned their lesson… never come near my darling daughter again… " said Emperor Commodus after having almost castrated ten would be suitors.

" Father! "

" Oh my beloved child " said the Emperor with a joyful smile.

Commodus and Sera now embraced in a loving hug.

" How has your day been? " asked Commodus.

" I have just been studying with Zeno and Chrétien. How has your day been, father? "

" Oh. I have just been ''entertaining'' some of our visitors from other lands, " said Commodus with a smirk.

" My Emperor "

" What is it Maximus? "

" An enemy has appeared "

" From where? "

" Out from thin air "

" Again? " said the Emperor in disbelief, as Sera knew what was happening.

" Maximus. Can you beat this enemy? " asked the Emperor.

Maximus simply smiled and then said;

" I will give the Emperor a show that is sure to entertain, your majesty "

" Really? " said Commodus with a smile. " Then I shall leave it to you, my brilliant general "

" I shall help you, " said Sera, as she was walking towards Maximus.

" Wait! " said Commodus, grabbing Sera's shoulder.

" Father. I can handle this " said Sera, while giving Commodus a strong and resolved look.

The Emperor sighed as he said;

" I have forgotten that you are no longer a little girl… go "

Sera gave Commodus a hug, she then went out for war with Maximus.

The Commodian army was now before the mighty enemy.

" Do we know who they are? " asked Sera.

" The leader calls himself Alaric the Visigoth, and he has brought with him The Senones " said Maximus.

" I see. Maximus. Can I ask a favor? " said Sera.

" What? "

" I ask that you at least keep one enemy alive, I have a question I would like to ask "

Maximus simply smiled and then said;

" I can only promise to try "

Maximus now rode in front of all his men.

" My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of Commodiana, General of the proud Commodians, and loyal servant to the TRUE Emperor, Commodus Aurelius. Father to a good son, husband to a loving wife. And I will defeat you all, in this life or the next! "

Maximus' men cheered as they were now ready for battle.

It was now Alaric's turn.

" Men. I have only this to say. It seems that we are sacking Rome early!! "

Alaric's men were now ready for battle.

A legendary battle has now begun.

Alaric and his men were merciless but Maximus and his men were unyielding.

In the end, the army of Commodiana was victorious.

Sera was able to ask Alaric her question, the Visigoths answer was;

" It was Ninkigal, who sent us… "

The goddess hiding in the shadows

" So, do you know who it is? " asked Khione, as Sera was standing within Eridu in Mesopotamia.

" I do, " said Sera.

" How do you plan on getting there? " asked Pele.

" Like this " said Sera with a smile as she punched down on the ground.

The force of her punch opened up a hole that led straight down to Kur.

Sera landed in front of Ganzir, the palace of the Queen of Kur.

Sera was taken back by the beauty of the palace.

She then noticed three young men standing at the entrance.

" Who are you three? " asked Sera.

" I am Namtar "

" I am Ninazu "

" And I am Ennugi "

Said the three brothers as they were showing off their "Guns" in an attempt to impress beautiful Sera.

" Cool. Where is your mother? " asked Sera, who did not even notice the gun show.

" This way… " said the defeated boys.

Sera now entered the magnificent throne-room, where the Queen sat on her eternal throne.

Sera noticed that the Queen had red Angel-wings.

" So. You have finally come " said the Queen.

" First. Tell me your name " said the Nephilim.

" I am Eresh-Deeli-Malkhi-Ištanu, the Queen of Kur and Irkalla and the goddess of magic and the sun "

" I assume that you already know my name…. " said Sera.

the Queen smiled.

" And I also assume that you know why I am here… " said Sera with a glare.

" Of course… you are here to marry one of my sons '' said Eresh-Deeli-Malkhi-Ištanu with a smile.

Sera was confused as the three boys were filled with joy, as Commodus felt a chill down his spine.

" All jokes aside " said EDMI as she could see her sons now depressed.

" You are here, because you wish to thank me " said the goddess.

" I thought you were done with jokes, " said Sera, not amused.

" I am serious. I said that I would help make you stronger, and I stayed true to my word. Just look at you " said the goddess as she looked at Sera, who had a body like Korra; the legend.

" You may have helped me. But you also forced people to do things against their wills " said Sera.

" Oh don't worry yourself. Those individuals were already dead. I assure you. They felt no pain " said the goddess calmly.

" But still….. what you did was wrong! "

" If it is wrong to make you stronger, then I am guilty as charged, " said EDMI with a smirk.

Sera also had a smirk.

" You know. Why don't I show you just how strong I have become " said Sera as she held her hand towards the sky.

EDMI and her sons looked and saw through the hole that Sera had made, a planet has now appeared above Earth.

" This is Gliese 436b, the icy-hot planet. Which is under my full control " said Sera with a smile.

" I see. You have become stronger than I imagined " said the Queen as she snapped her fingers.

Sera was confused for a moment.

Sera then saw the sun itself above her planet.

" And that was only a portion of my powers " said Eresh-Deeli-Malkhi-Ištanu with a smile.

" About we call it even, " said Sera as she made Gliese 436b disappear.

EDMI also made the sun return to its original spot.

The Nephilim and the Goddess now sat down and got to know each other.

While the boys were making a "Gun Show".

Sera later returned to Commodiana, where she was welcomed back by Emperor Commodus and all her friends.

Sera now turns toward the "camera"

Where she says;

" I will see you guys again, but not yet, not yet "
