QUOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
A beginning never really has a beginning, or an end. Nevertheless, it’s different for a civilization or race of any species. Genesis is the origin of genetic code for mankind. Through the triple stages of darkness, light came forth. Scholars believed that if the history is too old it’s called primitive, organ, crude, and savage. Amazingly, the origin is now. Returning through the old remnants. In order to master the Universe, you must first master your world, by conquering time through dimensional travel.
BOOK ONE
CHAPTER 1
T HE WEATHER TURNED, AND the snow was melting into dirty water. Streaks as it ran down from the little shoulder high window that faced the dark. But it was getting dark on the inside too.
Earnest was in the bedroom pushing clothes into a suitcase, when she said. Do you hear? Earnest kept putting his things into the suitcase.
Son of a bitch! I’m so glad you’re leaving! Venus began to cry out.
You can’t even look me in the face, can you? Earnest did not answer. He fastened the suitcase, put on his coat, and looked around the bedroom before turning off the lights.
CHAPTER 2
E ARNEST WAS BORN IN Knoxville, Tennessee on September 16, 1948. He was a member of a family of five. Three sisters Lauren, Leah and Samantha. Raised by a single parent mother, named Scarlett and his father unknown. Earnest loves to draw. He is fascinated with Leonardo Da Vinci and the basic oil on canvas painting by the famous Da Vinci of the Renaissance age. By the age of 25, Earnest suffered a crushing blow. He lost his mother and three sisters to a bad car accident.
Two years later, on September the 16th the same day as his birthday. Earnest’s life was about to make a change. He was living in a shelter, and working part-time at a diner in New York. Busing tables only provided enough money to buy a decent meal at night. He was trying to sell his last piece of art, at an art gallery in upscale New York. No one was interested in his painting, so he decided to leave the gallery. As Earnest was walking down the street, his attention was drawn to a scream. He ran to where he heard the scream. The horror he saw was jaw dropping some kind of creature or being standing about nine feet tall, with very long fingers, was hovering over some cars in the alley. His description was translating from his years through his cerebrum. Earnest calmly hides behind a dumpster to get out this creature’s sites. When he takes a peek, all he sees is the remains of what looks like a homeless man clothes, and nothing else but a cardboard box. As if it was the man’s home. It appeared that this creature sucked his flesh and bones right out of his clothes. Earnest turned around, and the art piece he was holding fell to the ground, making a loud slapping sound. He was frozen, shaking in his boots. Instantly urinating all over himself, as this nine-foot creature stood right before his face.
This creature had no face with a pale tone of flat, grayish leather like skin. It grabbed Earnest by the head with a very large hand, with only three fingers. Earnest telepathically listened. Never speak of this day to any human being. You will be needed later for an assignment.
You are important Earnest. More important than you can ever imagine. The future and fate rests in your hands, and your hands alone. I am going to give you a brief glimpse into your destiny."
The revelations that Earnest received were so powerful, they blew his mind. The details and images were painfully vivid, causing Earnest to have an epileptic seizure. He then passed out for a period of three hours, alone and cold in the alley.
CHAPTER 3
A FTER AWAKENING, EARNEST FRANTICALLY ran back to shelter, where he then met Venus. Venus was the supervisor of the shelter. The shelter itself resembled a large unemptied trash can. Earnest was very attracted to Venus. He wanted to ask her out, but he had no experience in the love or dating department, and he didn’t know where to begin. He figured friends was cool for now, and eventually they became great friends. Earnest thought about confiding in Venus with the events that took place not too long ago but he decided against his better judgement, he proceeded to her office to fill her in. When he got to her door, he quickly changed his mind, flipped the script, and asked. Venus, may I have a moment of your time?
She looked upon at Earnest, smiled and replied. Sure, what’s on your mind?
Earnest looked all around the room, avoiding eye contact and finally asked. Are you hungry? Can I take you to lunch?
What Earnest didn’t know, was that Venus had secretly been awaiting this question since they first met. She could not hide her excitement. Smiling from ear to ear she answered, yes I’d like that a lot.
Venus leaped out of her chair, from behind her desk, into Earnest’s arms. She passionately kissed his lips. To make a long story short, they never made it to lunch.
Three months later Earnest sells his art piece for $500,000 dollars. Things continued to be hot and spicy between Earnest and Venus. They later got married and moved into a studio apartment in Sumpter, New York.
Sumpter is a dismal company town. Eerie in nature, when it’s dark out and the street lights are on. Very quiet and pleasant, a car may pass once every 30 minutes. One would not think there was an evil presence lurking in the shadows but there was.
Across the street from Earnest and Venus apartment, in a big white four-bedroom house, someone was spying out of the window. Their every move was being clocked.
Splender, one of Sagi’s minions, was planted on earth to observe, and only observe Earnest actions. In the meanwhile, Sagi was a force, whom Earnest would come to know later on down the line.
CHAPTER 4
A FTER EARNEST PACKED HIS suitcase, he left slamming the door behind him. Venus went two weeks contemplating on how big of a mistake she had made. He was furious when she told him she was the one who purchased the art piece. (Earnest thought he sold the picture, which it was Venus plan all along just to help him out). The piece was a creature. Earnest explained what he saw before they met.
Now she is feeling bad. Then, to top it off, Venus has no origin. She never told him her background. He was so attracted to her, that he didn’t ever take the time out to discover who she really was.
