GRAY EYES
"I am Neem from Golem and I am not supposed to forget this..."
We are trained killers (often called demons), warriors trained to feel no pain or fear, to survive the deepest darkness of night and heat of war.
We are to fight and die for the king of The Great City of The Sun, Golem, the jewel of the middle east Assyria.
*******************
For ages our name alone casted fear in the hearts of all the people of the known world - The East, West, North and South until a king arose, his name is
...NEBUCHADNEZZAR II, the prince of the Golden City of Babylon.
Now Golem is history for the King of Babylon has tricked us and now Golem is nothing but dust and ashes.
.**********************
The story of the fall of the mighty Neem army has spread all over the known world with some of us taken as slaves with our women and children, the lucky ones amongst us fleeing the great war like cowards! Weaklings!
How is the mighty fallen?
Now we are scattered like flies all over the known world, captured, killed as witches, hated, persecuted, we are going extinct!
....So no one can know who I am for I am Neem and although all hope is lost, I still wish and pray to unknown gods that Babylon must pay!
I am Razal, the weakest of all Neem warriors but the smartest of them all. Here I am as a refugee in Persia and here is my account of the fall of Golem, Babylon, and the rise of Persia.

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE: ALL CANNIBAL grab two special daggers of mine from my belt, they are a gift from Karen with which she congratulated me on my very first kill. I throw one of them expertly at one of my attackers and get lucky because it lands on his skull and he falls backwards but before I can turn my attention to the other, he dives at me with his sword in the air aiming to cut my throat, wrong move, now he is vulnerable to my attack!I bend backwards quickly till I hear the bones of my back crack in complaint as I view his sword evade my skull and slice the air before my eyes with his body following through but then I stop his body with a stab of my second dagger on his chest where his heart rests and he halts in shock and looks into my eyes as his warm blood trickles down to his white skirt.“you are an abomination.." he says in the Egyptian tongue amidst the chaos as he observes the color of my eyes with his blood dropping from his mouth.I u

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR: CRYPTS OF BANEWe arrive at The Crypts of Bane, the hell where innocent Neem children are turned into monstrous killers. It is a deserted place surrounded by a dry forest which in the right description is just an extended region of earth on which dry trees, thorns and tare grow.Just walking across this place would tear one's skin and bathe one's body with a thick black dust that covers the brown earth beneath therefore, we ride our strongest trained horses through it.At the center of this rough forest is a mighty temple surrounded by little stonewalled habitations where the priests keep the trainees and torture them with harsh conditions until they become beasts!The Crypts of Bane is indeed a dry nothing that is turned into something by the bloods, cries and deaths of innocent children as they work so hard to become something they are never born to be, destroyers of flesh!The temple at the center is on an elevated to

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE: DEATH IS GLORYWe arrive at a distance where we could view the great gray walls of Golem and what we behold is far worse than we had earlier imagined– A thick black smoke, so thick that it darkens the sun, a raging fire burning like hell is alive in it and the screams of my Neem brothers in the fire as it’s voice.All our iron chariots and horses adds to the heat of the fire which could be felt even from our distance, the god of fire is alive now and against us.The most terrifying thing about the whole scene for me is the look on Meizza's eyes, I see it for the very first time – Fear.All our lives in the Crypts of Bane we have been training for war, we have been built the strongest, fiercest and fastest warriors ever known in the history of mankind! Just one Neem could destroy a whole Egyptian army, save a city, or assassinate a king and all his princes in one night. The only thing we are ever warned of is fire!

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO: WEAKLING!Meizza turns and looks at me for a split second before mounting his thick black horse, his looks at me saying it all- you had better done it.Although there is trouble in paradise, he is a trained Neem who has learned to control all sorts of fear and to maintain calmness in the face of adversity, his gray eyes were telling me to never leave until this Babylonian is dead by my hands."we ride" he signals my fellow trainees to follow as he rides out to meet the horse riders from the army with a cloud of yellow dust following him.But I stand here- poor me with a dagger in my right hand and a Babylonian's brown eyes begging me for mercy. For him, death is mercy but that I cannot give. After the kill is even the hardest – the nightmares, the dreams of those helpless eyes staring at me in plain daylight, the visions and feelings of warm blood splashing against my body..."...Hey ch

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE: THE PLAINS OF ASSUREIt is another hot afternoon on the plains of Assure, a dry land in the middle east that eats up every trace of green on it. It has been more than five years since the start of the Babylon-Assyrian war and we are still standing, Neems The strongest of them all."Arrgh!" The Babylonian messenger screams in pain as Meizza with his sword slices the skin on his sweaty and bare stomach as the smell of fresh human blood fills the hot desert breeze.He is a traitor!We have done far worse to inhabitants of cities we conquered in the past let alone a bloody Babylonian, we are just getting started.More loud grunts and yells from the Babylonian is almost deafening as Meizza grabs his intestines with his bare hands and drags them out of his body slowly and rolls to cause an unimaginable pain. Meizza then puts his left hand into his body forcefully and grabs a bloody organ as he screams again helplessly

Chapter: PrologueOnce upon a time there was myths and legends, it was once said:."And the gods came down to earth and took the fair women of the earth unto themselves and they bore their children."These children of the gods were giant, evil and corrupt. They trampled upon the inhabitants of the earth with their incredible strength and dark magical powers, they are called ANAKIMS.Thousands of years passed and the Anakim bloodline watered down as they mixed up and married more earthly women giving birth to more human than gods until they formed a city called Golem within the large Assyrian empire.The Characteristic barbarity never left the Anakim bloodline and with time it became a typical Assyrian thing to be ruthless, barbarous and almost cannibal with enemies.Many generations passed and lineages changed and the Anakim bloodline watered down to the bar

I hear a loud voice cry and then the horn of the Amorites sounds from the top of the walls of Perth, it is my brother Zebedee who blows it.He reaches the top of the wall and slaughters many archers, the others who are left flee in retreat. Some of them fall off the height of the wall voluntarily to their deaths, for it is better to choose an easy death than to face the wrath of gray-eyed Neem warriors and a host of Amorite carnivores.Victory is won ...

It is incredible how these people take their time to create such beautiful gardens which create these scenes of colorful tranquil at street corners of the sunny city.Indeed, Nineveh is the greatest city in the world. A city where kings past and present litter lavish palaces and plantations, a city where slaves from conquered nations come to work and carve majesty out of large stones, a city where nations come to pay tribute of gold, silver, livestock, precious stones and meta

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEEN: RED EYE KINGI am helpless.I can not stand to my feet as quickly as their horses can reach me.They are about to crush me when a powerful force throws them backwards and away from me so they all crash hard onto a mighty tree.They crash so hard that the tree itself cracks at the strength of the force and falls on them all, soldiers, chariots, and horses alike. Blood splashes like slurps of mud all over the place.Only one horse survives this and it rises and gallops away from the mess.I turn and lo, it is Ameera who out of her cleched fist raises a powerful force such I have never seen before. She wears a black hooded cape and paints her face with black like the Amorites. She no longer wears her white wrapper like an Oracle, she is in all black and looks like the night.She is even more evil than I thought.And she is prepared for the battle?

Zebedee cusses holding me up; "for we are under attack!"I still feel a bit dizzy and drowsy, I do not fully comprehend what he says but then he lands another resounding slap on my cheek."Babylon is here!" ... And then my spirit jumps into my body!"Babylon! How?""Ask the gods when you meet them, grab a sword and follow me!" he instructs me and takes off.I get up in the quickest possible time and run after him as we race towards the encampment of the Amorites, but then I begin to remember the previous events.Simchin is gone and somehow I find myself lying unconscious on the outskirts of the camp.How long have I been unconscious for that I have to be thrown out of camp?How come my brother Zebedee is back so soon?

Only the sound of the rustling of leaves and creeping night insects could be heard.She glanced at her wrist watch, it was 9.02pm. But she stood there at the center of the large compound of St Patrick's Catholic church waiting, standing in front of her white Mercedes Benz, waiting for her meeting with the Medusa demon - the Vampire.They were two minutes late to the meeting, one she had arranged risking her very existence.The Vampire had contacted her demanding to know her status with the location of Fisheye.

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: TRUTHSRonald Here was the joy, that some people actually missed him, thought of him, and loved him. Chinny had literally jumped on him and Uche, for the very first time in his life, hugged him. Scorpion, who’d just been standing at some corner couldn’t help but smile at how happy they were. He’d been reluctant about the whole thing, but now he was okay. He only had a few more hours to spend in Nigeria as his pilot had confirmed he was already set at the airport awaiting their arrival so they could take off.But he didn’t want to and even scorpion saw it. He was happy. Very. They’d laughed and laughed about lots of things as Uche would tease him about his new appearance, his beard! And his well pronounced pink lips against a fair skin!They even ended up strolling into their former class, Goldstar (yellow), with the white lights completely illuminat

She was not. For heaven was falling and death was nigh. Medusa was coming, coming for all their souls, and she knew it. For everything had gone wrong, and the plan had shattered, it was game over in her calculations.She looked at the happy man, Uche, her love, and tears filled her eyes as he stood her on the balcony with himself - a place he used to give her chocolates and tell her his funny dreams of becoming the king of the world. King of the world indeed."Hey baybee." He began. "Are you crying?""yes" s

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: ROMAN EMPIRERomaShe opened her eyes in her weakness and immediately recognized she was in a hospital with blue walls, white mattresses, white light , and an antiseptic smell.For some reason, she never went totally unconscious, no. Not while the nurses took her in, not while they injected a drip into a brachial vein, not while they conversed amongst themselves saying;“she will be okay, just a little trauma and a few bruises here and there. She’ll be back soon. She just needs some rest”Now she was fully conscious and suddenly felt a surge of anxiety and adrenaline when it hit her;‘where is Cas’ mother?’She was supposedly brought in with her but on looking around at the few other beds in the empty ward, she was not there! So where could she be.She got up swiftly with caution not to make a noise and gain attention.She trudged to the door, staggering

He had woken up to the face of the black Goliath staring at him.“Mother!” Chad called out as he saw his mother lying still on the red sand stained with blood.“she’s badly wounded” said the black Goliath“she needs a hospital. I’m going to rush her to the closest one!”“Wait! Let me go with you”“No! Save your strength. Find who did this!” the deep voice sounded as he lifted Mrs Okorie in his arms.“ Roma! Roma!” Chad called crawling to where she lay unconscious bathed in brown dust.She was swinging in between consciousness and unconsciousness. Only weak and tired but she seemed alright. He wasn’t sure, she might have an internal bleeding.However, she was mildly conscious.“He is going to rush you both to a hospital, you’re going to be alright.. “ he could hear the thumping of his heart.The two people he loved like hell were fig

If only she could explain to him everything, tell him her story, tell him all he didn’t know and how everything he thought was true wasn’t. But of course, he’s at it again, Uche fighting for all he loves, how cute. “what?” he smiled “ oh, nothing. You just didn’t change much that’s all” “ are you sure?” “yeah…” she gave a fake smile unsure of what next to say as her anxieties were getting the better of her. Her anxieties not because of Uche's presence, but because of the whole plan- the reason, the reason for her return.He didn’t know, no. He didn’t know how he was just a puppet in the master’s hands, playing on a field in which he has no control.A couple of years ago she had completed her masterpiece, Troy – a protocol she had developed to access literally anyth
