Chapter 38

Methuselah’s team was not quite as blessed as Enoch’s.

The horde of Nephilim surrounded Ohyah and his “captives.” They stood fearfully awaiting their end at the hands of the horde. An officer adorned in golden armor stepped out from the horde. He approached Ohyah. He studied the captives, then looked back at Ohyah with suspicion. He thoughtfully considered the bulging pus-filled black and blue eye of Ohyah.

The Naphil leader spoke with a gravelly voice, “I am General Mahawai of Baalbek. Who are you, soldier?”

A general? thought Methuselah. What do they have out here, an army of Nephilim? How could that be?

“I am Ohyah, son of Semjaza,” blurted Ohyah.

Methuselah’s team tried to hold back their surprise at this revelation. Semjaza? Semjaza was the infamous leader of the Watchers, now known as the father sky god Anu.

What new trick is Ohyah attempting? thought Methuselah. Sure, it might protect them from immediate execution, but it only delayed their demise until the Nephilim got word from Semjaza. Still, any amount of time was helpful, if they could only devise an escape.

Thanks a lot, Ohyah, Lamech thought. You just added prolonged torture for us when they discover you lied. Well, at least he will suffer more for being a traitor.

Ohyah continued, “I am a lone voyager from the east. I found this regiment because I wanted to join your forces. These giant killers took us all by surprise.”

Mahawai glanced at the two Guards from the camp. They nodded slightly in approval. But it was not approval enough for Mahawai.

“These soldiers merely parrot what you told them earlier! How do I not know whether you brought these vermin on your tail? How is it that you alone survived the slaughter of thirteen of my soldiers? Why should I believe you?”

Ohyah felt his hands tremble. He became short of breath. He had no answer.

Then a voice came from out of the horde, “General Mahawai, I will vouch for this Naphil’s word.”

Everyone turned toward the voice. One of the soldiers stepped out from the crowded regiment. He came straight up to Mahawai. He saluted and stood at attention.

Mahawai looked at him expectantly.

“I am Hahyah, son of Semjaza. This Naphil is my twin brother.”

Methuselah felt a sickening pit open in his stomach. His whole world came crashing in on him. Everyone on the team glanced at each other with shock. Only Betenos kept staring at Ohyah.

This Hahyah did indeed look just like Ohyah, save for his warrior-shaved head.

The general’s next declaration caught them off guard. “We are done with our training exercise. Bring these captives back to Baalbek. Let Thamaq and Yahipan deal with them.”

Well, thought Methuselah, at last I will face the Rephaim who killed our parents and the rest of my city. Unfortunately, they will have the blade in their hands.

The distant sound of a war horn interrupted his stupefied thoughts. The Nephilim stood at attention. Mahawai peered to the south and said to himself, “That is the battle call of Inanna.” He turned to his troops
