[Excerpt from the holy bible of the Nephilim Church]

(Genesis 7:14)

God is infinite.

Infinitely kind.

Infinitely good.

Infinitely cruel.

Infinitely evil.

We humans who were molded in his image are all of these traits as well.

Humans are flawed creatures and truly unique among the different races found amongst the stars.

There is no man or women who is inherently good nor inherently evil.

Saints can fall into darkness and the sinners can be redeemed by the light.

God in his infinite wisdom has created us to be flawed so that we may witness the beauty of perfection through imperfection.

The universe begun as a void with nothing but infinite darkness and emptiness that spread as far as the eye could see.

And then suddenly the void was defeated.

God created an explosion of energy and matter that formed what would eventually be the planets and celestial bodies of the universe.

The great founder of our church discovered fragments of texts in a tombstone on ancient Earth that spoke of the Abrahamic religions.

He was the first among the flock to contract with both an Archangel and a Demon.

The names of these two beings are only revealed to the pope as no demon knight nor saint so far has ever been approved to establish a contract with them.

The Nephilim Church is not a kind religion for we believe in the truth of the universe. Balance is the true meaning of life.

Good cannot exist without evil.

Every light must cast a shadow.

For this reason, we appoint twelve saintess and twelve demon knights to contract higher order beings.

These higher order entities are far beyond what the human mind can comprehend. Gazing upon their true body would cause instant death.

Their mere presence alone would lead to madness and despair.

We call them angels and demons.

Twelve was a sacred number in the old Abrahamic religions as it signified the number of apostles who followed an individual whose name was lost to history.

Spreading the religion of the church is the duty of every follower.

We must save the poor native races from eternal damnation.

Glory be to the Father.

(Leviticus 4:9)

The story of the princess:

A wise king had married a beautiful dancer and their child was to be the holy princess of their empire.

It was said that when the child was born, gold flowed freely from the sky as even the spirits of wealth celebrated in joy.

The child inherited the intelligence of her father and the gorgeous looks of her mother. She had been trained from birth in the arts of military, economics, and politics.

When the king finally stepped down, he knew that his kingdom was in good hands. The princess smiled sweetly at her father and swiftly took over the reigns of the empire.

In the first year, war broke out at the southern border where barbarians attempted to pillage and rape the nearby villages.

The princess personally led the army to slaughter and rout them all out.

Not a single man, woman or child from the barbarian tribe survived.

In the second year, a terrible famine struck the fields of the farmers and their crops begun to wither and die.

The princess reformed the agricultural sector and introduced new methods of farming and crop rotation.

It was thanks to these new practices that her people did not starve.

In the third year, a horrible plague swept across the land causing those infected to cough uncontrollably until they spat out parts of their lungs.

Blisters and boils appeared on the surface of their skin and entire towns were wiped out due to this new disease.

Once again, the princess hired the best medical doctors to study the plague day and night until a cure was found.

They worked themselves to the point of over exhaustion until a cure was finally produced.

The princess swiftly distributed the medicine to all the far corners of the empire and yet another crisis was averted.

In what would later be known as the final year of the empire, a hooded man rode into the castle and demanded to speak to the princess.

The princess ignored the advice of her closest retainers and decided to meet the man privately.

She had grown brash and arrogant due to her high popularity among the nobility and common folk alike.

The hooded man was led into a chamber where he saw the princess lounging on the throne and staring at him with interest.

"I know what you are," the princess sneered as she shot a nonchalant gaze at the hooded man.

"I have already defeated your three other brothers. What makes you think that I will not defeat you as well?"

The hooded man said nothing but slowly approached the princess and gently tapped her shoulder.

For although the princess could defeat famine, plague, and war...

No one could defeat death.

Revelations 4:16

How will the universe end is a question that has haunted mankind ever since we learnt the concept of finite.

Surely if every reaction has a beginning…. then there must be an end as well.

The scriptures on ancient Earth spoke of a rapture where the chosen children of God ascend to the heavens while the sinners remain on Earth to perish.

However, the Archangels and Demons had spoken to the pope and delivered a prophetic vision of the end times.

There are many gods fighting for control over the different realities and dimensions.

There will be a great battle in the distant future that will pit the gods and their believers against one another for the control of the universe.

We of the Nephilim church have an honour bound duty to support our masters and ensure that humanity are the true victors in the battle.

It will undoubtedly be a challenging task and it may lead to every single believer of the church perishing under the baptism of hellfire, but we will gladly risk our lives for our patrons.

Glory be to the father and may his name be exalted among the higher order beings.
