The Tale of the '666'

And there they were,
The 3 beasts lying in waiting to be unleashed for their true purpose,
Each with the ‘6’ upon their forehead.
Yes, it strikes fear when mentioned the ‘666’ yet, it is not so.
Not beasts of burden which today’s world insists they are,
Instead, add the numbers together, and what should you get?
18 yes?  Now add them and what do you get? 9.
Yes… 9.
The number of all creation and it’s deity’s and souls therein.
Created by mystics and alchemists for one purpose only –
To bring order to a world of chaos in this our Aquarian age.
There are those who have the knowledge to become comrades with these beasts,
Dogs in their appearance, Gods in their natures,
Do you not see the code?
But this is no horror, what they wish to intend,
It is their destiny to be destroyed,
And in that, bring peace where it is most eagerly sought.

The humans, they fight, they cross sword, axe and claymore over naught,
Arrows cover the bright skies,
And the burning buildings, the smoke rises from the ashes of earth and flesh alike,
So that we now know only grey and black.
Black, the melancholy and the revenge,
Instilled as the babe opens its eyes from mother’s womb…
All they know is rage, all they know now is killing.
Necessary? Perhaps…
It would be so, if the cause was just.
But it began over something which neither has power over…
Gaia herself.
And so the beasts who lay in endless sleep,
Heard her cry to them,
That her children would not learn and instead would beat and abuse her.
They take her gifts and use them against each other,
Why do they not listen to those who have not forgotten the teaching?
Who know of the ebb and flow if this dimension and all its so-called mysteries?

There was one alone, who had power to do good,
And to do so, she must be evil.
And so she would cut through flesh with no care of who it belonged to,
Man, woman, or child,
And they began to take heed.
This evil must be stopped.
And her purpose, her destiny was making its weave through the fabric of man, and womankind.
She found the 3 beasts, and they told her she was their counterpart,
It would be she which weld their power,
To bring the ultimate destruction and chaos, so that they would then learn order.
And so it began…

In the battleground spanning far beyond sight,
The battle raged between the sides over Gaia’s gifts,
Then they heard it, the howl of the beasts.
And there she was, upon shoulders of one of the beasts,
The black aura surrounding them all,
Their ploy, which they would use for the true Divine purpose.
And the people stared in horror at the sign of the apocalypse,
And the beasts rode towards them,
Teeth borne to strip flesh and end life,
The woman, summoning the lightning skies and the water from the ocean’s.
Many died, but not all,
And although the beasts were wounded, they were not yet destroyed.

Time passed,
And those who knew only anger and hatred of each other,
Then saw the common goal – To destroy the ‘666’.

The mystics who had been forgotten by society were then approached by countless numbers,
The people once again were looking to things they already knew, but had forgotten,
And they grey and black faded from the skies,
And the people became calm and brotherhood formed.
A message delivered, and the day of reckoning had come,
The earth lined with souls who would see the end of the beasts and the woman,
And as the deity’s strode forward,
The power enlightened, engulfed them in it’s glory,
And the woman, and ‘666’ were no more.

A day forever remembered,
And as the Aquarian age ends,
The people look to their horizons,
Knowledge, Immortality, and Enlightenment.
But above all… Brotherhood.

Author notes

I don't think it probably makes much sense but it did to me writing it! Just something that popped in my head and not the horror which most were probably expecting. Enjoy anyway!
