ON THE MARX

Entry 52

8 Brahma

I walked back towards my office and started looking through this damned book that somehow was at the center of everything.

Somehow.

I pulled the scans of the book back up and started looking through.

I got back to the part where I had seen the bear fight the horse.

I flipped the next page and saw a bunch of pages that looked new.

It included the bear waking into a cave, or at least looked like a cave at least. The cave had a dragon that was sleeping. There was this black aura around the dragon it was the blackest black that had ever been blackened black. Just like the black that came from the chamber. This made me say out loud, mind you…

“Thoth?”

I looked around as if expecting to see whoever or whatever Hanuman and the Old man called Thoth, start printing itself out like Hanuman did. I looked around and didn’t see anything.

“Come on Thoth, I know that you are the one who Hanuman f*****g talks to.” I said.

In reality I actually did not know that it was Thoth. However when I knew about 5 Star Builder still around now…

Wait 5?

Hanuman

The Old Man

Methuselah

Thoth.

Who the f**k was the 5th one?

I thought about that for a moment, but I kept drawing a blank. Yet I felt I knew of a 5th one. Aside for Shiva, that is.  I didn’t have a second to think about it though. I turned back around to the book. A new f*****g page appeared.

It was the bear looking around in an office with a word bubble thing saying “Thoth?”

“Thoth you son of a b***h!” I said looking around. “I know you’re here.”

This last page had almost solidified it the fucker was the one that Hanuman was talking to. I looked around again. I looked back at the book. The next page had the bear being watched in an office by a transparent looking bird of some sort. It reminded me of a stork, or actually an Ibis.

“What are you trying to say I can’t see you right now?” I asked the thin air.

For a moment I sounded mad to myself.

Maybe I finally went off the edge. Talking to f*****g thin air!

I looked around for a moment hoping that Thoth would show himself.

Print out just like Hanuman did.

Yet he didn’t.

I turned back to the book after a minute or so. I turned the page and saw the bear seeming to have a blindfold on while the Ibis was observing him.

“Okay fine, so I can’t see you yet,” I said to the air again. “So show me what I need to know about the Falcon, the Anunaki and the commandments.”

 I gave Thoth a minute just to make sure that the next page would be changed.

I moved over to the next page and wondered what in the hell I was looking at.

It was the bear with the bow tie (with the transparent Ibis behind) him as he looked at a computer screen and on the screen it showed something that I had a very hard time understanding what it was. For a moment or two I tried to figure it out. In all honesty, it looked like a tree.

A tree was the only way to describe it. Branches with smaller branches with even smaller branches. Hundreds of branches, no thousands of them, no, maybe actually billions of branches. It was gold. The most golden gold that had ever been gilded, At the end of each branch were these…mirrors.

It was the only way to explain these things.

Or maybe they were windows?

Whatever they were they were at the end of each of the billions of the branches on this tree. On the other side of the window or the mirrors were these things that reminded me of galaxies hundreds of them, thousands of them, in each mirror or window. I then realized these mirrors or windows were portals into different universes that were on this tree. It was then I realized, it was Yygrisdill, the tree of life.

“What about the tree of life?” I asked.

I waited a minute again then moved to the next scan of the book.

I gave a small gasp when I saw the next page.

The next page showed a massive black serpent strangling the tree. It, like the black that I had seen in the chamber, was the blackest black that had ever been blackened. The black serpent had this vile smirk on its face as the golden hue of the tree was being sucked out of it to the mouth of the serpent.

“Shiva,” I said understanding the drawing immediately when I saw it. “Shiva is sucking the life force out of the tree of life is that what you are trying to say?”

I again waited.

I changed the page.

I was even more surprised by the next page.

It was Hanuman.

Hanuman making himself huge and pulling the serpent off the tree. The serpent looked shocked as if it had not expected Hanuman of all people to pull him off the tree. I pondered about that for a minute. Before realizing that these pages were showing me something that had already happened. This was how Hanuman became an enemy of Shiva. Hanuman had stopped Shiva from draining the life force from the tree of life.

“Okay but what does have to do with right now?” I asked.

Again, I waited a moment before I switched the page.

The next page showed something interesting. It was a bunch of animals.

A black falcon. It was perched on top of what looked like some sort of shard of glass.

A raven was looking at the glass as if trying to admire itself in the reflection. But I looked at the glass, and I did not see the reflection of the raven, no I saw something else something that nearly made me shudder. I tried to figure out what it was, I knew I had seen it somewhere, but I could not figure out where. I looked away from it and started looking at the other animals.

Some sort of silver ape? Was next. At least it looked like an ape. Seemingly trying to figure something out on the floor in front of it by using a stick as a pen or something. I tried to see what the hell it was drawing on the floor, but it looked like this complicated mat equation that made my head hurt. I looked away at the next animal.

A brown coated jackal or some sort of canine, was sniffing around the air as if looking for something. It was clearly sniffing the air I could even imagine hearing the sniffing sounds it was making as it was smelling the air. That made me wonder what the hell it was looking for, for a moment.

A black spider that was apparently fighting its own shadow on a rock nearby. I couldn’t tell what was blacker the spider or its shadow. I wondered what the hell that was about. The spider seemed to have this black mist coming out of it I was having hard time trying to figure out what the mist was.

Then there was this blood red goat. At least it looked like a goat, or maybe a ram. Yeah, a Ram made more sense because it had these swirl shaped horns on its head. The goat looked so red that it looked like it was on fire. The Goat looked out of place among the other animals and it looked like it realized it was out of place too.

Then there was that green snake that I had seen earlier on in the pages I had seen of the book earlier. The one that was sitting on top of a bunch of gold coins or something. Here, he too was slinking around in a huge pile of gold. This one I knew instinctively it was the Marquis this snake represented.

There was this cicada looking thing off in the corner looking sinister as if she was plotting something. At first I had not noticed this cicada, which was strange in itself, however after seeing the corner it was hiding in it was hard not to see the cicada. I wondered about this thing for a moment. Considered it was an insect and everything else in this odd conglomeration of creatures were animals, then I looked at the other animals.

There was a weird looking cat of some sort. It had a ribbon-like tail and a mostly tawny coat. The cat was climbing down a nearby rock among the odd group. There was something about the cat’s eyes I didn’t like, they looked predatorial as if it was on the prowl. It looked to be looking at the Jackal as if she knew what the Jackal had found and was waiting for the jackal to tell her where it was.

There was this silver serpent slinking around the tree branch behind the cat that I noticed when I noticed the cat. The serpent looked very malicious and very cunning. Even more so than the green one that was slinking around the pile of cash. This silver serpent made me feel uneasy, because from what I remember from the color spectrum thing, silver meant evil disguised as serenity.

 There was this crazy looking…bear-thing. I didn’t know how to describe it really. It looked like a Ratel. I think the only thing I could relate the Ratel to were things like ferrets and weasels but way bigger, way stronger and ferocious. The Ratel were known to be extremely fearless, staring down things such as Lions or even tigers with little effort or fear. This one that was drawn on this picture looked ferociously in attack mode. What it was attacking? Maybe what the Jackal was sniffing and the cat was trying to find? Maybe. Whatever it was the thing looked like it was about to strike at any moment.

“Sure, as f**k wouldn’t want to run into that,” I muttered to myself mostly.

 I looked around as if expecting it to be now where Thoth would appear.

Frustrated the fucker wouldn’t just print out yet I looked back at the strange group of animals again. Then that was when I noticed something on top of the raven that originally looked like it was looking at its reflection on the glass shard, now in fact looked like it was bowing before whatever that glass shard contained.

That made me ponder about it before I looked up at the falcon, the falcon looked like it was gripping the shard so tightly it was trying to break it. As if it was trying to release whatever the hell was inside of the glass shard. I felt tremendously worried about that all the sudden. What could be trapped in that glass shard.

I however became even more worried about what was on top of the raven. Because on top of the raven was something I did not even see originally, but now that I had seen it I did not understand how I had not seen it.

Standing on top of the raven, with its front arms up as if summoning whatever the hell was in the glass shard (though by now I was gathering the idea that I knew exactly what the hell was behind that shard.) Was the golden body of an insect that took me a bit to realize exactly what it was, it was a Locust.
