A Metaphysical, visionary, fantasy, adventure:
While Meg reviewed her life, the Mages waited in the cave, Ibris and Dax sized each other up in the Temple, Stryker pondered the map and Aaron sat on his throne, an ocean away. Plotting his next move.
Aaron smirked to himself. Perhaps other people wondered if what they were doing in life was making them happy, or if they were doing the right thing. He didn’t. Everything about his life made him happy, and he always knew he was doing the right thing.
Who wouldn’t be pleased with this, he thought to himself. Everything in Thamon revolved around him. His choices had always been perfect. He had devoted disciples, who named themselves the Blessed Ones—disciples who were willing to be rendered blind so they would have the honor of serving him.
Across Thamon, his Preachers and his Kai-Via made the people happy by converting them to Aaron-Lem. His religion.
He, Aaron, was the God that they worshiped. No other gods were allowed. Any mention of those old gods was an automatic prison and possible death sentence. Not that the people talked about those other gods anymore. He gave them what they needed. They didn’t need anyone else. Their lives were perfect because of him, and they knew it.
Three times a day, a bell would ring and his people would stop where they were and bow to him to thank him for the blessings that they received. Sometimes their faith and gratitude were so intense he could feel it flowing across Thamon straight into his heart. It was a magnificent feeling.
All that good-will directed to him from the millions of converts to Aaron-Lem fueled his knowledge that he had done the right thing. He had cleansed the planet of everyone who wanted to worship other gods.
Although some people only wanted to be left alone to live the life that they wanted to live without worshiping anyone or anything, it didn’t matter. They were also gone. He had eliminated from Thamon everyone who didn’t succumb to Aaron-Lem. Now it was as if they never existed.
