me, a man who wants nothing more than non-existence?” Gabriel said.

  “Do you believe everything you read like the rest of these lost souls? Did you know most of gods true word was lost in the desert or ripped from the holy pages by my disciples in clergy robes. It astonishes me that mankind can have faith based on those few writings. If I gave you chapter 4, 12, and 14 of a book, then gave you chapters 2, 8, and 10 from 4 other books that had nothing to do with the first. Then would you know the word of the original author?” Apollyon said.

  “Well, no I would not. So then what is god's word?” Gabriel asked. “Hahaha when god created man in his likeness I would never think I would see the day when the last of his likeness asked me, what is his word?” Apollyon said laughing.

  “So I am here for eternity just to make up for mans sin, so he can continue to do so?” Gabriel asked. “No, you are here to do either god's will or have the freedom to choose yours, or mine. Really it is no different than the choice every man makes.” Apollyon said. Gabriel stop the truck next to clear creek, to absorb everything Apollyon said. Outside fishing was a man with the dragon branding that he saw on the women in downtown Axal.

  “What is with that branding I have seen it before?” Gabriel said. “That is the mark of my legion, just because a man sin's does not mean he is in my legion. He might be forced to damnation by god's will but, it does not mean he joins my ranks. But those with the branding are my soldiers, demons ready for the coming battle of heaven and earth” Apollyon said.

  “So what they are satanic, or occult...how do they join your legion?” Gabriel said. “They simply let my anger and hatred of man fill their hearts. You could say they are the occult, or even a religion. But once they join me they can never look back.” Apollyon said.

  “And If I joined your legion?” Gabriel said. “Then you would witness the destruction of earth. I know it's a lot to understand but just know this, if you live as gods servant or mine the outcome will only benefit me because even I AM in his will” Apollyon said.

  “This is to much, there is a choice, but no choice, a will, but no will what the fuck am I supposed to do. You have played nothing but tricks and games with me. My knowledge of god has simply done the same so do I base this on my morals, yours, or his?” Gabriel said.

  Apollyon laughed for a moment and got out of the truck. “Come with me to the water” Apollyon said. Gabriel got out and followed him down to the creek. Apollyon waded out into the creek and the water around him sizzled and boiled. Gabriel stood at the edge of the water watching as Apollyon turned to him with his arms raised to the skies. “Come to me Gabriel” Apollyon said.

  Wading out to him Gabriel struggled against the current to reach Apollyon. The man who was fishing was now holding a lit candle. Apollyon grabbed Gabriel and traced the sign of the cross on his forehead. Apollyon tipped Gabriel over putting him down into the current of clear creek. “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Apollyon said in a enchanting voice.

  Gabriel was only under the water for a few moments. His eyes were closed and he saw a illuminating light. It was like nothing he had seen before. The light was not seen by his eye's but by the spirit. It surrounded him like no light he had seen before and instead of seeing the source of the light, he was the center of it.

  Apollyon raised Gabriel from the creek. Gabriel opened his eyes and in the clouds and sun emerged a huge face in the sky then it moved and was nothing more than clouds. Gabriel was still standing in the water but Apollyon was gone. The man holding the candle waded out to Apollyon and placed the candle in his hand.

  His eyes were pure black, with no expression on his face. Like a man possessed by a unseen dimension of insanity. The man turned and walked away from Gabriel. The candle was white as the light Gabriel had seen and was now out.
