Book 4: Creation
Chapter 1:
New Mission
The council's palace lay in the middle of the valley, surrounded by thick vegetation, and a large lake. It's stone walls were 90 feet high, and covered with scenes of battles, reflecting the deeds of heroes and kings of Nibiru. Inside lay a beautiful stone façade with pillars holding up the ceiling of the main gate. Further in was the council chamber were the Nephilim, a race as old as time, were about to discuss their issues.
Ashur, one of the few Nephilim able to earthbend anymore, looked at the sundial counting the minutes that his friend, Marduk, was taking.
"Don't worry he'll arrive soon" saida human women they simply called mami, she had come to Nibiru eons ago after being cast out of the human world.
"Easy for you to say, you're his maid" replied Ashur "If he's late one more time, the council will eat him alive"
"The council needs him, he is the only one who agrees to their missions, I will go comfort Ianna, she thinks that something happened to him"
"I don't think that would stop him in a million years"
Ashur and Mami went back inside the council room, were the meeting was about to start, Marduk's seat was empty again.
"Greetings to all the councilmen before us today" said Anu, head of the council "We will start this meeting by…"
Suddenly a Nephilim, which was 9 ft. tall, and covered in blood entered the room, it was Marduk, probably back from his mission. Marduk pulled out a sack, which was dripping with fresh blood, from his belt and threw it, the sack landed in from of the main podium and revealed a severed head.
"Marduk your timing, a always, is impeccable" said Anu
"You must pardon me, these attack have been growing more in occurrences and more ferocious" replied Marduk
"Please take your seat, I was about to address this issue"
Marduk headed over to his podium, at the head of the Eites, he was the prince of their land, and he looked over to the side of the Enlilites, into the eyes of Ianna, his lover. To his left sat his younger brother, Ea, who had a history of sibling rivalry with Marduk, since he was a better warrior and would always lead the missions, for some reason he had always been Anu's favorite out of all the Eites, always saying that "he did his father proud," still Ea and Anu had too good of a relationship and Marduk always got the feeling that he couldn't be trusted. Ashur, his closest friend, sat on his right, he was one of the few Ninites left, the descendants of the Eites founder Enki's sister-wife, he was a master of neutral jin and could bend earth with any part of his body.
At the center, or head, of the council were, Anu, the head master and his right-hand man Irra, Nergal, Marduk, and Ea's father, head of the Eites, and Sharu'kin, Ianna's father and head of the Enlilites.
"As Marduk just showed us, it seems that our enemies of old have arisen from their slumber and threaten to, once again, destroy our world" said Anu
"How have they arisen, how do we stop these things !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?" replied a councilman
"Remember the last time they invaded?"
"How shall we protect ourselves"
"Enough!!!!!" yelled Sharu'kin
"We have some light on what to do about this" added Nergal "recently a prophecy was revealed, we will plan our strategy based on this"
"As Nergal said, the prophecy revealed that a human girl will come to our world and battle these demons, though the rest has been cut out, it says that she will bear the mark of our forefathers, we will have our best warriors travel to our sister dimention and retrieve the one we believe is the one the prophecy speaks of" finished Anu "I will send my man Irra..."
"Sir if I may interrupt" said Sharu'kin "I think the sons of Nergal should go, they've prooven to be most capeable of this mission"
"Sharu'ki, Ianna, and I shall plan our defences" added Nergal "we've defeated them without a prophecy before"
"So be it, Marduk and Ea shall prepare a strike team, and head towards the supposed location of the chosen one" ended Anu "council is ajourned"
Outside the councilroom, Marduk and Ashur prepared themselves for the task of rounding up warriors for the mission, they packed multiple "Sun Disks," a platform of light that was controlled by bending energy, and waited on Ea's return. Ea on the other hand went into a hallway, that lead to a room were he would meet with Anu. He found the room and entered, Anu was drinking a tea and held a scroll in his hand.
"So our plans will finally be realised" said Ea
"Ideed, in my hand I hold the prophecy, It says that a human girl will come to this world, she will be followed by more, and upon their arrival our enemies would've defeated us, another being though, of extraordanary, will do battle with the lord of our enemies, they shall both fall and another being, of both human and celestial blood will be born" replied Anu "I've already consorted with our enemies they will pledge their loyalty to me, all i need you to do is prevent the part after the arrival of the human girl from happening, understood?!?!?!??!?!?!?"
"Yes my lord"
"Oh and at the dimentional gate I will have an...arrival party for Marduk, make sure that you have her, and I will need you to accomplish another mission...."
Back at the gates of the palace Marduk and Ashur waited on the return of Ea, until Ianna and Mami arrived.
"I don't know if i'll see you again" said Ianna
"Mission after mission I've returned unscated, this one will be no different, you have a war to fight, prepare yourself my love" replied Marduk
Mami handed him a map "you will go to the fire nation, follow the line on this map, and...." Mami pulled her sleeve back and revealed a mark of the god Enlil "chances are she is my grandaughter"
Marduk was awestruck, how could she be a grandmother, she hadn't aged a day since she came, she always had her smooth, creamy skin, strong sheen in her long black hair, and amber eyes that almost resembled the eye color of their own people "she won't be harmed."
"We should go, we need to be at the dimension gate with all our warriors in two days" interrupted Ashur
Ea suddenly appeared and stepped on his Sun Disk "sorry I'm late let's get out of here."
Two days later Marduk and his warriors gathered, they took one last look at their world and steped into the gate.
Somewere In The Human World...
There was a palace of metal, inside only the dead were left, and than the scream of a little girl woke up Katara, daughter of the Water Tribe chief Hakoda, "Zuko" was all she was able to say.
