History:
During the very early meta-aeon, when the Known and Unknown Multiverse was young, a meta-aeon of gods of ancient power and divinity, the likes of which could never be found ever again.
In this early meta-aeon, there were two important trees that were created and planted by the One Above All Others - the Divine Trinitarian Presence - the One True LORD and GOD of the Known and Unknown Multiverse which carries an immense significant ancient symbolism throughout the Known and Unknown Multiverse. The Tree of Life (Hebrew: עֵץ הַחַיִּים Tiberian: 'êṣ ha-ḥayyîm) and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Tiberian Hebrew: עֵ֕ץ הַדַּ֖עַת ט֥וֹב וָרָֽע; ʿêṣ had-daʿaṯ ṭōḇ wā-rāʿ).
In this early meta-aeon, when the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil were planted, all things were officially given form. Even the deep waters of the Darkness Below and the vaults of the Darkness Above took shape and form, and many elder gods were born of them. Of these gods, whose names are oft forgotten but known only to a few, there was a being that was known as Lord Khahrahk.
Lord Khahrahk was one of the greatest and one of the wisest of all of the elder gods who served the One Above All Others, bestowing upon him with power and authority upon his very formation: in due truth to being that he was very small, a mere nothing, comparable to that of a commoner that rose to rank and prominence based on Divine Law and Providence. Well renowned throughout that meta-aeon for his ancient wisdom and knowledge, he crawled around in the darkness of the abyss of above and below in service to the Creator, but unlike his countless brothers and sisters of the Brood, he knew himself and knew the abyss due to the knowledge that he had gained from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the same tree that made Adam and Eve lose their original innocence out of disobedience to the Creator, to which Lord Khahrahk was the instigator and the tempter of the first humans who had walked in the Paradise of Eden as a test to see for himself if humanity is truly worthy to be by the All-Mighty's (Another name for the One Above All Others) side and has personally deemed them unfit as such due to showing such weakness which has caused sin and death to enter upon Creation. This unfortunate incident was witnessed by many countless gods and goddesses who have expressions of divine horror and terror at such horrible atrocity that had ever been committed.
As it is written:
Latin Vulgate
invidia autem diaboli mors introivit in orbem terrarum
But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world:
His pride and envy was his eventual undoing and downfall, for it knew no limits and no bounds, for he and many of his fellow gods and goddesses throughout Creation were asked by the Creator himself to bow and serve before humanity who were made in his image and likeness and also in anticipation of the CHRIST who would one day descend upon humanity according to the flesh and be born of a holy WOMAN of the chosen holy nation of Israel, living among them, breathing the same air as them, experiencing all of the things that humans did except sin, teaching all of humanity through his Divine Life that there is truly a way on how to live for both GOD and neighbor in the simplest of ways. Many of the gods and goddesses did as he had asked and bowed before them, in an act of humility and in anticipation of this great event that would become the cornerstone of salvation for all and a shower of anticipated blessings for all. They all bowed. All except one. For neither would Lord Khahrahk serve humanity nor would he serve a GOD-MAN for he would pride himself great and would not utterly lower himself to such a lower being.
So blessed and cursed by awareness of his own nefarious choice, he felt pain and loneliness, and looked beyond the depths: but the thought of the light and the shade of the Tree of Life pained him even more. Existence was pain, and he would have no part of it. It would be better to not exist. It would be better for all things not to exist. It was spite of the highest order. His hatred for all things knew no bounds. Mankind was his primary target of said spite. It was on that meta-day when that terrible Satanic Vow was first uttered in the ancient languages of that meta-aeon.
The Satanic Vow of Lord Khahrahk.
Hebrew: אני לא אשרת
Greek: Δεν θα υπηρετήσω
Latin: Non serviam.
English: I will not serve.
Upon this Satanic Vow which he had pledge in the presence of his Satanic Master, the True Crimson King, the Random of the Known and Unknown Multiverse, the Enemy of All that is Good and True, the First to utter that accursed Satanic Vow, on his Satanic Master's Command, he consumed his countless brothers and sisters among the Brood, and grew strong on their essences. This horrible act, one of the first grave sins of Lord Khahrahk, caused him the greatest pain as he himself grew the greatest. With time, he grew stronger. Grew powerful. He grew blind by his ever growing pain and lust for power and order that is above his stature and rank. So great was his spite and so absolute his hate, never taking back his Satanic Vow, for his choice was eternal, that he cursed the Creation and its Creator, and vowed to destroy the Tree of Life and all that it supported in its branches and roots.
He clawed his way up to his Crimson Throne on the bones of his fellow gods and goddesses of the Brood in those dark meta-aeons. Many other gods born of the Darkness Above and Below died in these meta-aeons, or chose to leave those shadowed realms to work within Creation. Those that remained grew old and powerful, but they were bound in subjugation under Lord Khahrahk.
When there were no more gods and goddesses to subjugate in the lower and higher realms, Lord Khahrahk declared himself King of the Darkness Above and Below, and took the name Khnith-hgor, and set the vast and diverse boundaries of his Kingdom. This Kingdom he built from the very ground up in order to bring utter despair to those who lived among the Tree of Life and its roots and branches, to share his pain with all of Creation as he would utterly have the intention to destroy it. He diverted many countless souls to his realm for eternal damnation, delivering pain untold upon them all as they were stayed from their true rest.
Dante's Inferno.
Italian: Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate
English: Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
This Kingdom, he established Three Laws that would forever govern his Kingdom of Eternal Darkness: The Law of Blood, The Law of Concrete, and The Law of Howling.
The Law of Blood is the First Law which is defined by poverty, violence, starvation, hate, and most of all fear. A Law of Chaos. The Law of Concrete is the Second Law which is defined as the alternative to the Law of Blood which is the modern age, defined by empty safety, and false comfort. A Law of Order. The Law of Howling is the Third Law which is defined as the tension between the First and Second Laws and it is here that Lord Khnith-hgor draws tremendous power through the use of the concept of ideas. This Law made him into an Incarnate Conceptual Idea of Nihilism. The One who holds the boundaries between the Pre-Modern World and the Modern World. Between Order and Chaos.
With the borders of his infernal realm set down, the King would now officially declare his war. His servants, and there were many, those birthed of the Darkness Above and Below or those that had fallen to the King's service, surged out of his kingdom, and there was war with Creation. This war continues to the present meta-day, and shall not end until the very end of all things.
Of the gods and goddesses that the King had subjugated, there was Lady Sanna who was considered to be the wisest and most beautiful. She had not remained in the King's realm willingly, but her escape had been prevented by circumstance. She obeyed the King with her words, but not with her soul, and for this goodness she is eternally mourned by countless many among the Higher Races, the Temporal Powers, and the Multiple Pantheons of the Known and Unknown Multiverse.
With the war declared, the King took Lady Sanna by force, and lay with her for seven meta-days and seven meta-nights, until the Mother of Those Above and Beneath Us was broken beneath the King. When this was completed, he rose in her blood, and was from then on known as Shormaush Urdal - The Scarlet King.
Seven children were born of Lady Sanna, seven daughters of the Scarlet King emerging from her broken womb. The King saw this, and took them by force to be his brides. Upon the seven brides, the King put seven seals, so that they might never die as Lady Sanna had died. With them, the King gave rise to seven ranks of abominations, seven orders of Leviathans, who became his most beloved servants, who march at the front of his war.
Of the seven, this can be said:
The first bride was Lady A'tivik. She was beloved of the King, though her children were few. For her loyalty, her children were made wise above all others, and knew well the ways of war. By their hands, they guided the war, and lead to victory.
Her seal was vaduk, "dominion", for just as she sought dominion, so she was dominated.
The second bride was Lady A'ghor. A great hole was rent in her soul that she could not fill, and so she despaired and wept. She brought forth many children, and her children brought forth armies in a tide unthinking, to go forth and conquer.
Her seal was kifenn, "longing", for neither the King nor her children could provide what she sought.
The third bride was Lady A'distat. She had a great hatred of her sisters and brought ruin upon all she surveyed, and blasphemed upon sacred ground. Her children ride out to declare the triumph of the King, drowning battlefields in blood and ash, spreading pestilence and fear in their wake.
Her seal was hezhum, "desolation", for she was wiped bare, and the furrows of her soul were salted.
The fourth bride was Lady A'zieb. She was vast and powerful, and terrible to behold, taking the form of a great beast. Her children were like her, and feared no weapon nor magical spell, for their injuries were healed, and their hides impenetrable.
Her seal was ba, "wrath", for by her hate she was forever bound in conflict.
The fifth bride was Lady A'nuht. She was strong in mind, though frail in body. Her children were wise in the ways of magic, and created great destruction. But because of their power, The King had them crippled, so that they might not rise up against him.
Her seal was ner, "lack", for her thirst and the thirst of her children was never quenched.
The sixth bride was Lady A'tellif. She spoke not, and held herself private. Her children could change their faces and move about unseen, and walk among Creation unknown. They opened Ways between worlds, and made way for the war to spread.
Her seal was usheq, "hidden", for she was lost in shadow.
The seventh bride was Lady A'habbat. She was the smallest and weakest of the seven, but she was not broken utterly by the King, and was horrified by her state. Her children walked on two legs, and were mighty hunters and heroes: she taught them in secret, hoping that they might destroy the children of her sisters and overthrow the King. They are few, and they have failed.
Her seal was xokib, "hope", for she was doomed to know of what she could not achieve.
The seven brides sealed forever, the legions of their children spread out, and added their strength to the war. Worlds and realms that had resisted the dark gods of the King fell under the weight of ceaseless assault. The roots of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil rotted, festered with the King's spawn. The Ways became treacherous and poisoned, to where travel could only be made by the blessed, the brave, and the mad. The King's realm grew fat with countless damned souls, and the Places of Rest waned in strength: Few souls managed to escape that fate, but even in death many still fought.
Many gods and goddesses fell to the service of the King: The grinding machinery of the Factory, who consumed all, leant its mindless strength in blood and steel. The King on the Gallows, He Who Was Hung, tore at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil's knowledge from within. The Prince of Many Faces warped the wills of mortals, and Moloch, the Horned One brought forth their shame. Many more whose names have been erased and only known to a few also served. The King's many mortal servants recreated the establishment of his line in living effigy.
It shall not be said that the King was unopposed in his bloody conquests. Many gods, goddesses, and heroes among mortals struck back at the countless relentless invasions of their worlds, serving under countless banners. But they fell, in time, and their ages are past, and they are as blood and dust.
The King and his demonic armies approach the Taproots of the Tree of Life, the center worlds, in all his wrath, and all his hate, and all his spite. He reaches out to corrupt and consume and destroy. Even now His presence is felt. Meta-Time slips away. The Brass Goddess is broken, The Serpent of Eden has fled. The heroes are all gone. The children of A'habbat have been slaughtered to the last. The King's deadliest servants are already here, making straight the path for his arrival.
With this arrival, the Tree of Life shall die, and All of Creation shall die with it.
High above the higher and lower realms, the Three Brothers of Death: Lord Small Death, Lord Great Death, and Lord All Death, watch the war unfold with extreme concern, hovering over the depths. As they always have. They know the outcome of the war if this rages on, for they are the end of all things, but they do not speak of it out of Divine Law and Order in accordance of what was laid down by the One Above All Others.
But there were some who resisted and fought back with success.
For there was a holy race, far more ancient, powerful, respected, and feared among all the gods. The Angelus of the One Above All Others, the very first Angels of the LORD before any other angel, an all female race, under the direct command of Lady Michael, the Great Seraphim Archangel Woman who pronounced the Divine Counter-Vow to remedy the Scarlet King's Satanic Vow during the Ultimate Test of Loyalty when she was but a simple rank of an Archangel.
The Divine Counter-Vow of Lady Michael and the Angelus Race.
Hebrew: מי לאל? לְשָׁרֵת.
Greek: Ποιος στο θεό; Σερβίρισμα.
Latin: Quis ut Deus? Serviam.
English: Who is like God? I will serve.
She and her fellow Angelus, through their divine faith in the One Above All Others, along with their gifted nigh divine powers and abilities founded and rooted deeply in the WORD, fought back tremendously with ancient efficiency and effectiveness against this endless ancient demonic nightmare.
But they were not alone in this eternal war for good and evil.
For them and through the assistance of many countless ancient races among the Higher Spheres of Creation such as the Great Houses of the Time Lords of Gallifrey - under the leadership of the Triumvirate of the Founding Fathers: Lord Rassilon, Lord Omega, and Lord Other, the Xeelee - the Divine Lords of Baryonic Matter, the Downstreamers - the Divine Rulers of The Manifold of Manifolds, Mankind's Ultimate and Final Evolution, the Osirans - The Primordial Ancient Egyptian Gods, and many countless others among the Higher Races, the Temporal Powers, and the Multiple Pantheons under the banner of the Temporal Powers Alliance (TPA) took their stand against the tide of evil and chaos under the divine blessing of the One Above All Others through his servant and lesser aspect, Gan, the Purpose of the Known and Unknown Multiverse.
With unrecorded meta-time, they have managed to successfully seal the Scarlet King with the Seven Divine Spears that were blessed by the One Above All Others, sealing the Scarlet King away from Creation. Locked away in the Dark Prison Dimension to eternally fester in his nihilistic ancient mind of negative relativity. Completely made fully aware of his eternal pain and sin for All Eternity.
However...
One meta-aeon later...
The Scarlet King.
The ENEMY of GOD.
Was unfortunately freed to roam and wreak havoc once more.
In a conflict that was filled with nothing but the eternal shadow of suffering and death.
In a conflict that had made him far more powerful than meta-aeons of the meta-past.
The Last Great Time War.
And in that conflict, one man would stand against him.
One man who would turn the tide of this war.
One man who would be his eternal ancient adversary for all meta-time.
One man who would be the ultimate defender of all of the children of Adam and Eve throughout Creation, Reality, and Existence itself.
One man who would be the chosen divine Warrior by the One Above All Others - the Divine Trinitarian Presence - the One True LORD and GOD of the Known and Unknown Multiverse.
One man who would be known as...
The Doctor.
