A dark messenger’s choice. My first short fiction
Posted by: darvian in Fiction, tags: FictionA guy was begging for his life to be spare, while a gun is being pointed out to his head. The man said, “Please i had no choice at that time, i had to kill my friend”. But she, who was holding the gun kept silent. “My friend is supposed to be dead. He was not just a human. He was a messenger, a dark messenger. He had a duty from the world below to kill one person, but he had to sacrifice 124,670 people. It means that he had to kill 124,671 people along with the person”.
Then, the woman spoke, “Did you know why he had to kill that person? and did you know why it had to be 124,671 people?”. “He told me that the person was going to build a tower that could bring union to the whole world. This tower will be the symbol of the new world in 100 years from now, and this tower will reach the sky with its foundation plug deep below the earth. The woman showed something to the guy, a small shape of a building, a tower. “This is the tower he would going to build. Can you read what it is written on the top?” The man said, “Elbab”. Do you know where the name comes from is?” “I don’t know” “It was the same tower from thousands years ago, where people built their pride until it reached up to the heaven, but God scattered them. Hence, the tower abandoned, forgotten, and vanished.
Now, do you know it?” “Yes i know, it’s Babel” The man looked very anxious and troubled.
The woman continued to talk, “The man you killed was supposed to destroy the language of the person he would go to kill. This language is the language people used while building the Babel.All people can easily understand the language because it is there, deep inside our mind, and it has a name, which is the name of the person. “Oh no, what have i done”, the man interrupted. The man felt very depressed. “I hate discrimination, i hate religion, i hate chaos. I thought the person would bring us peace. But my friend was a dark messenger. Why the world below wanted to kill the one who will go to build the second Babel? Mankind would leave God with that tower and the dark kingdom would surely get a benefit from this situation. How about the number, why it had to be 124,671 people?” “This number represented the total of the language in the world. When this number is completed, he, who will sit on the top of the tower, will show up”. “O, please don’t say that. I’m totally have done a great mistake is history”. “Yet, this man hasn’t been born yet. And I’m here are sent also by the world below to kill the one who will be the father of the man. And now, I’m pointing my gun to him”, the woman surprised him.
The guy became silent. “You may kill me now, I’m very glad if I can do something as a replacement for killing my friend”. “No, you don’t understand. I will be the mother of the son. I will be your wife. I can’t do this also. You know why the dark kingdom wanted to erase this from the future? It is because they want to have a longer time before the end of the time comes. Their time is limited. That’s why, they tried to have extra time to get more followers.
Honestly, I’ve been watching you for a long time. You also have seen me before. Actually, you often saw me and shared our life. I was your friend. Can you recognize me? Then the guy answered,”Are you her? Are you my very best friend? Are you the one who often cried before me? Are you the one among our group? Are you the one who taught me how to see beauties? The woman began to cry and she clarified, “Yes, I am. The world below changed my face and my voice. You are also my best friend indeed. I also don’t want to become you r wife and I’m sure you also don’t want to be my husband” The woman cried bitterly. “Please don’t cry, let me just pull the trigger’, the man demanded. But the woman didn’t allow him, instead she pointed the gun on her head. The woman said, “You must not die, because you have to do the most important thing in your life and this is also for human history”. “What do you mean? I’m obviously have to die”, the man confused. “No, if you are not going to be the father of the one who will be seated at the top of the tower, you will be the father of the one of the ones who comes from one of the four winds.
This is just a matter of our choice, but let me choose. I want to do something for you. I don’t care about this so-called human life. What I really want to do is to be your friend until the very end of my life. My soul will accompany you to find your wife. I know, this is beyond your imagination but you will know her for the way she looks at you. You still remember of how seeing beauties in woman’s eyes, don’t you. And about the son, you will name him ‘Shout’. It comes from one of the four winds, ‘south’. “But what will the dark kingdom do to you?” “That’s mean nothing, even if they want to make me suffer in thousand ways. What I want is to show you a beauty for the last time. I want to let you know that I never want to hurt your feeling for leaving you without a reason all this time”. Then the guy began to talk, ”You are my very best friend. Actually I know that you are always there. One time I looked at the sky and talked about our friendship and I felt so close to you. From that moment on, I often talk to the sky. Now and here, we met again. I’m very happy, really happy. Yet, this is for the last time. You know, the group often asked me about you. How can I answer them, but I just told them that one day I will meet you again. And here we are”. The woman suddenly felt very disturbed. She felt something or someone interrupted her mind and spirit. She knew that she was being force to kill the guy. The guy looked strange at her. He didn’t realize what was going on to her. “Bang”, the gun blew up. The man was very shocked, “You…..what happened?” “I must die now. The dark kingdom has tried to overcome my mind and spirit to shot you. So I blew up the gun to my head. This is the time. You are always my best friend and I’m very honored to be your best friend and I also very happy to be one of the women in your life”. The man took the woman’s hand. He realized that from that moment on, the woman’s soul is within his hand until he found his destiny.
