13 Thunders

Two huge dragons of the Devil clan grabbed Enoch by either arm and levitated him from the ground to a small shuttle that waited just above the Great Lodge; once there he was put in a canopy where he could observe everything around him for many miles.  The flight took only a few minutes, but it was more than enough time for Enoch to pull out his recording crystal and dictate what he saw; and what he saw was truly amazing.  Enoch G’haad had been through space many times, but only in a hibernation sarcophagus that was buried deep within the bowels of Ultimathune; now he was seeing the planet’s great splendor as he passed over rolling hills and huge fields of green.  He saw for the first time the great ziggurats all about Neguru which looked like small clay boxes from the air, the lakes and reservoirs that looked like porridge, and the aquamarine waters to the north-west that surrounded a dark ominous shape which the dragons called Atlantis, the island of wonder.  Enoch watched as he was brought to an entrance portal many miles above the sea where the clouds spiraled like a funnel into an endless void.  It actually was an illusion to keep the Sanhedrim overseers’ and their spying shuttles at bay, and the annoying quetzals from sticking their beaks where they did not belong.  The shuttle entered a beam of light where Enoch materialized in a circular room far beneath the sea; the two dragons tossed him some clothes and told him to put them on.  The garment was a white biohazard containment suit with a transparent helmet and air filtration system; it also helped to keep Enoch’s body temperature at a normal level.  He had never worn such a suit before and he felt that the Dragons were treating him special; little did he know that the suit was for his own protection and that throughout his trip he would be exposed to terrible things that could destroy an unprotected person.  As soon as the helmet was fastened the two dragons hauled him into the next chamber where dozens of wranglers whipped the backs of horrible looking creatures that were half hairless ape and half goat.  Upon seeing the monsters Enoch asked: “And what are these creatures that stand upright like men yet have the horns and legs of a ram?”  The dragons laughed at the frightened G’haad and replied: “Those are some of the rebels who used to work in the garden by the Great Lodge before the flood; they’ve been turned into satyrs to remind everyone of their deeds.  Now they pour the wine and have continuous sex that can never be satisfied.” 

They showed Enoch another room filled with hairless females with the smoothest skin he had ever seen, and these females were plump and as fertile as any broodmare to have come into existence.  “They copulate night and day with these female hairless apes we call nymphs, and these mammals can have two offspring at a time, and they can suckle the offspring from their breasts.”  So Enoch looked at the breasts of the nymphs and saw that there were four; two large and two small, and each was filled with milk.  And the nymphs were as young ogresses from the line of Abel with light colored skin, long silky hair, beautiful round faces, and rolls of flesh on their fat bodies. 

The two dragons took Enoch to a glass dome below the floor of the room they were in, and from it could see all sorts of beautiful fish swimming about the sea.  Upon closer observation he noticed that some of the fish had the upper body of a person, but unlike most of Enoch’s kind these fish-people had scales like the dragons.  So Enoch saw the fish-people and he said: “Who are these beings and what have they done to deserve such a punishment?”  And the two dragons laughed while replying: “These are the deep divers of the sea, workers like in the garden but with the tail of a fish.  They can breath beneath the water and they help mine the gold for the dragon king Lucifer; this was not a form of punishment, they were made that way for a reason, just like all of you were made a certain way for a reason.”  Enoch was about to turn away when he noticed a big fish that kept bumping the glass bubble to get his attention; he asked: “And why does that fish keep hitting the firmament, is he blind or is he stupid?”  And one of the dragons sat on a marble bench in the center of the room and said: “Those are the Dolphilim, a race of air-breathers meant for another world not too far from this one, but since we crashed here they needed a place to live and the sea was good for them.  Lucifer wanted them to be his slaves and help him mine gold, but the Dolphilim wanted nothing to do with the vices of the dragons and refused to work for him.  Upon seeing their gentile nature and their lack of greed, Lucifer punished them by removing their hands, gills, and, wings so that they could swim with the fishes, but could not live underwater or fly like they were meant to.  It is almost the same as clipping the wings on a bird, it can get aloft, but it cannot stay airborne for very long.  The Dolphilim can dive, but if they go too deep they may not have enough air to get back to the surface, and the wings that used to carry hundreds of them across many thousands of miles of dry land to where they could locate an inland sea or lake to colonize is all but a memory.  Now all they do is leap up from the water like frustrated children in an attempt to fly like their ancestors used to; horrible punishment is it not?”  And then the two dragons took Enoch to the teleporter and he entered a place where Lucifer resided. 

Lucifer had his back to Enoch when he was brought to the center of Atlantis; it was a place where the Devils could watch everything on and around the island without anyone seeing them.  Lucifer passed his hand above a few glowing crystals and a window opened up before Enoch’s eyes; it showed a room where thousands of Edonite hybrids were trapped in cages and serpents tossed them rotted vegetables.  Then the room burst into flames and the Edonite hybrids screamed in pain while the hair was singed from their scaleless bodies.  They were then doused in seawater and carried aloft in their cage to a huge room where screams of pain could be heard from the darkness.  One by one the Edonite hybrids were dumped from the cage onto a moving belt where hundreds of ugly brutes called ogres disemboweled
