You remember that Da Vaada was once A'ovi (First Born), right? 

Perhaps you, like me, are of the opinion that there must be more siblings; otherwise, such an important distinction would be pointless. 

The same is true for him. For after him came more, for without him there would be none. They were not like him, though. They could not create a cosmos of their own, and so they sought to enter his.

20. The Black Hole

- Written by Gift C Enyadike Jr

You recall that I said Sevaasi's whispers had reached the stars that remained such and the ones who birthed them, Kallor and Kibet. The question asked of them was not of serving the humans, the beings of dust, for that was never their purpose. 

No, the question asked of them was the same he asked of himself, of the hosts that followed him, and of you, my Acolytes:

"Why can't you have more?"

You may be wondering, my Acolytes, what truly became of the host that followed Sevaasi out of Udamu (Heaven).

Know this: they did not fall as one body, nor did they all land in the same place. 

Some were indeed bound to Pla'daali (Hell), tormented by the very absence they had chosen. Others clung to the void between Udamu and Teyra (Earth), feeding on scraps of light and whispering to mortals in dreams.

 18. Hell

- Written by Gift C Enyadike Jr

Allow me to clarify a common misconception. Hell is not simply a place of fire or darkness. 

Let me explain to you so that you can understand. Hell is the one place in the universe from which Da Vaada has completely removed himself. Such a state is unrelenting... overwhelming... UNLIMITED AGONY! My words cannot do it justice!

It is not like The One Before, because The One Before is nonexistence.

Know that I have seen one with my own eyes, and experienced the other... and I do not sleep.
