The History of the Tyrants' Theocracy
, by Tina Allard
September 30th, 2013 - Mark Glassner - Tacoma, WA
I stood with my wife naked before the awed crowd of soldiers and reporters. Worship burned in their eyes. They knew what we were--Gods. Their Gods. We had battled the False God, Brandon Fitzsimmons, and defeated him, ending his tyranny which had run rampant for the last three days.
And now he was dead, executed at our orders.
We gave the order. 51 pulled the trigger. I didn't look at the corpse at our feet. He was a monster. I had no sympathy for the man. Not after he had me beaten the last three days. Tortured me. I had lived in agony. I would have died, but Mary came to my rescue.
The bastard had hurt her, too.
"The Living Gods," the soldiers breathed as they bowed before us. They were US Army soldiers from nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord, previously under the domination of Brandon. Like us, he was a Warlock who wished for mind control powers.
And he did not hold back in using them.
I pulled my wife to me, unashamed at our nudity. Our bodies were perfect and youthful. The Gift of the Spirit, which we both now possessed, would keep me at my most physically fit and Mary at her most sexually beautiful. Awe filled me whenever I glanced at my wife. Something happened in France, something that transformed her feelings on how we should use our powers.
"We have to dominate the world, Mark," she had whispered in my ear ten minutes ago. "We've started something terrible. A darkness approaches. We have to take some responsibility and fight back."
Her words chilled my blood, a blast of arctic wind howling across my soul. I had opened my mouth to question her, but she pressed a finger to my lips and shook her head, emerald eyes flashing a warning. I trusted her. I loved her.
She must have her reasons for not speaking more about it.
Her next words transformed the arctic gale into a raging maelstrom when she said, "That's why we need to prepare. We need to lead mankind, guide them and protect them. Rule them. The Nuns are done. There is only you and me.
"We can make a better world, Mark. A utopia!"
"We were doing that. That's why I'm running for office."
She had shaken her head, her mane of auburn hair dancing about her shoulders. "We're already worshiped as gods. I thought about this on the flight back from France. We need to galvanize the world and unite it under us. The entire world will worship us. It'll be a...Theocracy."
My eyes grew wider and wider as she laid out her idea for the Theocracy. Mary had always been the cautious one, afraid of harming people, and now she wanted to enslave the entire world. We'd make them happy. We'd eliminate all the petty hatreds that had pointlessly divided mankind: sex, race, religion, creed, sexual orientation. We would be their Gods, loving and protecting them--ruling them gently.
Whatever scared my wife, whatever dark secret she had learned from the Mother Superior, had driven her to this decision. I knew it was merely an extension of the direction we were already heading, but it was still as shocking as grabbing a downed power line. Right now, we were going slow, not forcing people to worship us--guiding instead of commanding.
But after Brandon's dramatic attack on us using an army, I didn't have a problem with her plan. We needed power. We had been too laid back, too lax, and the consequences had been almost catastrophic. We needed an army. Brandon had taught me what true power was.
"A utopia," I agreed. "We'll give it to them and command them to love it."
Now, wreathed in flames, the power stolen from Molech when I slew the demon, we faced the cameras of the world. It was time to begin.
"We have walked through blood and fire for you," I shouted, feeling the energy of the soldiers staring at us with worshipful eyes and all the cameras trained on us. They would be broadcasting live, with no delay--Brandon would have ensured that--so our powers would dominate any who heard our words and understood them. "We have suffered and been tested by the first agent of the coming darkness."
"We have triumphed," my wife said, her words ringing with steel. She had been so glorious today. "But it is only the first blow. Demons are real, and their agents seek our world's destruction. Lilith is free, and others of her ilk may walk the earth. And that is why we are here."
"To protect you."
"We are your Living Gods."
We hadn't practiced, but the words flowed from us.
