The watchers

chapter 1- City of Patheons

Jerico



The great plateau rose up standing at 57 miles high at 30 miles wide, as Atum rested they got to work, and as Yecta flew overhead his body making a ring-Etchula was standing to the East at 3 bull elephants high 2 wide, no wings lean jet black body mixed with scaled legs and panther paw type feet. the body is black fur on top and scales on the belly and a porcupine-like tail that opens up to spikes. its head is a panther with raptor jaws.

Taniwha stood to the south, she had a turtle shell(open at the center to reveal wings) that was 2 bull elephant wide 1 bull elephant high with Basilisk-type legs and the head of a drake. (turtle dragon)

Huolongchusu stood to the west, he stood tall as the big ben wide as Westminster Abby. He had charcoal black scales the body of a fire drake and a tail with a glowing red spiked ball(lava dragon)

Nomostis stood to the north, she stood tall as 2 bull elephants high at 4 bull elephants long, she was a lean frost white pegasus with 4 wings 2 big 2 small. (nymph dragon)

Etchula carved out the earth into 3 rings and 4 roads, he carved out a large bowl beneath the rings and roads with a main 10-foot pillar at the center with smaller ones to hold the rods up. Yecta used the Ka in the Earth to make constructs and they moved to the edge of the plateau and formed the great wall, where when that was done Taniwha sent water up to shu who sent it back down to Tefnut filling the great bowl and gave birth to Geb and Nut. The waters flowed over the 4 edges where holes were making the sacred waterfalls feeding the land below, Etchula to rocks from the side of the plateau making a ramp-style path around creating buildings for the outer and innermost rings(ring 1 living quarters to the north and market to the south, ring 2 farming lands and ring 3 Atum's personal quarters) The city was made it had beautiful gardens living quarters and a place to grow at seeing this Atum cried giving birth to all living creatures on Earth. The tears flowed downstream producing not just humans and animals but sprouted plants of all types, as time moved on people grew and Yecta watched them as some entered the great city. the place flourished and the humans like the gods became many, the years passed as Atum grew old and a shadow passed over whispering in the ears of the mortals

"why serve them when you are so much better"

One day they called out

Byblos

The fallout of Jerico-a giant fireball that hit the city destroyed the surface and only the handful of those who managed to reach the ramps escaped death and spread out among the lush forest below the plateau. Fields burned buildings crumbled, bodies burned and their corpses merged together as a skeleton was formed. Smoke from the bodies and buildings swirled above the city and formed its cloak and with great wind-like smoke disappeared leaving a hollow laugh. The people who reached the 6-day journey ended up hating the gods creating the core of Nun(chaos).

Several winters came and gone, the land has changed since the first-4th generation of life. Now into the 100th generation of humans the remaining primordials still look over them except Nomostis who left the world to explore the beyond establishing Pandora. Byblos was constructed as the great library it held all knowledge as the people grew, the main building was 3 stories tall 4 buildings wide, and 2 buildings back, it was surrounded by many huts and fields. the people were taught how to categorize items and grow food, they record new plants produce, and language findings. Led by a kind elder going by Cahtet lived outside the village in a hut not far from the entrance.

Cahtet (Yecta/Osiris) spoke with the couriers from his siblings from time to time, but there hasn't been any news from Jerico on the progress of the rebuild. Cahtet was a portly man in his mid-life wearing red robes with the hieroglyph of spirit white cloth bottoms and standing at 5' 00'' Days go by as Cahtet goes over the info sent to him;

from Nomostis- I have left to explore and find a world where I can settle. Hope to see you at some point brother.

from Etchula- my men have spoken of a skeleton creature coming from the battlefields, no time to look into these rumors. Training my people to survive without me so I can become a roaming teacher of combat.

from Huolongchusu-Hail from the imperial city of Shenchusu, we have seen strange activity from the forests below our old home. stories of a skeleton creature roaming the ramparts, I hope the men have been just a case of Hyperphantasia.

from Taniwha- today the fishing nets have pulled up a person stating he escaped a skeleton-like creature before dying, been teaching them to respect the seas and bodies of water.

As the sun set sounds could be heard as the libray was ransacked and Cahtet lay dead by his hut."We are the gods now"

while going thru the streets and throwing any human they deemed unworthy out of Jerico past the ramp to their deaths. Atum became angry at these humans gall he sent Re to deal with the problem, Re transformed Skehmet into a lioness who slaughtered the rebellion, and then in the aftermath, as Sekhmet changed into Hathor and grabbed onto Nut's hand with the gods clinging to his belly got raised to heaven separating the earth from heaven with Toth casting a protection spell for the humans leaving the primordials as guardians. Yecta witnessed the Firey destruction as a giant fireball scorched the city while the humans who remained ran down the ramp.

The death of Cahtet was a hard thing for the people to take, the library was ransacked with what remained the villagers who yet lived took what knowledge remained to the 4 corners of Pangea and one Jahtet(Yecta/Osiris) a 3-foot boy with sandy brown hair and tattered robes calling for Cahtet. as they crested the dunes the could see Byblos get buried in a sandstorm.

Aleppo

The creation of Aleppo was done by Chajtet and the descendants of Byblos the city was a mixture of farms and hidden vaults. the city by the Nile, where after 100 generations come and gone started to trade with other villages. Huts lined a street of sand that spiraled into the secret entrance to the vaults of knowledge protected by the Velk-vens who were from a tribe trained by the god Etchula passing the skills to the next protectors. The Nile side markets buzzed with people peddling their trades and scents could be smelled from the local cooks, a slight breeze came thru as a tall young man walked the streets to his class. He stood at 4' 00'' with a lean figure with sandy brown hair, and wore the robe retained in his family line. when riders from his could be seen passing the newly planted papyrus seeds as people watched them with interest. They passed chests from their carts to monks and put the scrolls of reports for other tribes of Pangea to receive orders from the Velk-ven council to pass copies of teachings to the rulers for their scribes to store.

Four moons later a courier came to Jahtet with an urgent letter to evacuate the town. The Velk-vens escorted people to neighboring towns and caravans escorted scribes with copies of their teachings. The remaining

scribes went into the vaults as a heard of CoN(Core of Nun)came stampeding thru on dinos the enslaved killing all who could be seen.
