Chapter 6: For a Taste of Eternity
Dahlia had a dream. She dreamed that she was surrounded by orange flames, but they didn't hurt her. In the distance she saw a figure walking towards her. Dahlia knew immediately that this was a God. Before it even reached her, Dahlia was on her knees in worship.
The figure reached Dahlia and spoke "Rise!"
Dahlia stood up. The face of this God looked like a man. He had black hair that reached his neck. His skin was so white, that it was amazing it didn't glow. His eyes were so black that one could see the abyss in them. His body was a match for the Greek statues that were seen and read about.
With a trembling voice Dahlia asked, "What does thou Lord command?"
The figure threw back his head and laughed. Once he was calmed he smiled at Dahlia, "You hold in your possession something quite wonderful. You have been blessed my servant."
"How is that so?"
"You hold in your possession the Holy Vessel. That child you call Alessa is the Holy Vessel. Be warned though, the people you call the cult will try to take her away."
Dahlia asked, "What must I do?"
"Give Alessa unto me as a wife. With my seed and her soil, her and I will make the God."
"But my daughter is only 6!" Dahlia yelled.
Dahlia may seem heartless to most, but she would never allow her daughter to be sexually molested. Verbally and physically, yes. Sexually? No.
"I don't want her now. I want her at the age of maturity. I want to prepare her though."
Dahlia looked trouble.
"My Lord, why do you need my daughter as a wife?" She asked.
"Because your daughter just so happens to be the Holy One. She is the one who will give birth to God. Only with my help though can that happen."
Dahlia thought for a moment. She asked. "What must I do my Lord?"
"When your daughter turns 7 you must perform the ritual of purification on her. Then you must implant me into her subconsious."
Dahlia thought once more. In not a moment she said "My Lord I will do as you command."
As Dahlia returned the realm of the living Incubus threw back his head and laughed.
"That was too easy." He grinned as he returned to the flames.
