Translation if used a different language.

"Everything humans do will always come back to their own choices, they have the free will to do so. Man or woman, both can choose what they want, whether it is for good or ill, humanity will always have free will. God made man sinless, not choiceless. But the Son of Man became flesh to redeem the sins of the world."

Volume 1 - I am

Prologue: Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Story Start.

…

Life is strange.

This universe is strange.

I am strange.

Or am I?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

I have walked on many planes, across the ever-moving, ever-twisted time, seemingly without purpose, yet here I am, walking, and walking even more.

One could say I am strange, yet I have never found that to be the case.

Instead, one could say that I am what I am.

Indeed, I sound just like Him; I look just like Him, but I will never be Him.

Him.

God.

Father Almighty.

The maker of all things visible and invisible.

The unmoved mover.

The First and the Last.

Alpha and Omega.

Now, that one is strange. Very strange. Possibly the best human word to describe the indescribable Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Lord of all.

Strange.

But let us not talk about Him, this story is about me.

My story.

Long I have pondered my own history, all the things that I came to know before, all the things I did not need to know, but learning was not so bad after all. God knows you would need what you learned one day. So, here I am, at the edge of a world bereft of balance, where chaos is where humans and the supernatural thrive alike.

Ah, this world is no different than the others, even that of my home, because for many, we are the product of our own choices - usually leads to chaos, but there are some who are predestined for things great and terrible, just like me, and while I do not like it, all the actions that we could take and their different consequences have been seen by God, the ever-watching omnipotent one.

I've lived many lives - and took those who are wicked, because this world is as cruel as it is beautiful - just as I said, this world is no different than the others, but, if there is anything certain, I will stay here forevermore.

As here I am today, at the turn of a new epoch, the beginning of the New Covenant, all I could say, is that I look forward to the future of this world.

The Far Horizons ahead.

-Bethlehem, Province of Iudæa, Roman Empire-

A silent night.

A holy night.

That which has been foretold eons before; the night which the Son of God, both God, and Man, shall be born in the House of Israel - the House of David, to be the salvation of all.

All is calm, as for how things should be.

All is bright, for the sky is clear, and the stars lit like fireflies in the dark, but, there, up in the sky, something shined brighter than the rest; its light shined upon the Earth, into a lowly place in which a King shall be born; born from a virgin, immaculate from all the stain of original sin.

Many a time in history a baby become a king, but only once did a king became a baby, and all the world shall rejoice.

Tecum princípum in die virtútis tuæ: in splendóribus sanctórum, ex útero ante lucíferum génui te.

Alleluia. Alleluia.

And in that night, shepherds lived out in the fields nearby, as they kept watch over their flocks at night. Then, the sky rumbled, but there were no clouds and terrified they were, as did their flocks.

"Rejoice! Rejoice," said a voice from above.

Without notice, clouds gathered atop a craggy hill, then an angel appeared, "Do not be afraid, I bring you good tidings of great joy."

She was beautiful; her hair, golden, her skin, fair; and clothed in white. The shepherds gathered stood and watch in silence, then, she spoke once more and her voice was that of fine silk, soft in the ears, beyond beautiful.

"For unto you is born this day, in the City of David, a savior who is Christ the Lord. You will find a child wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger," said the angel, and suddenly a great company of the Heavenly Host appeared with the angel, all clad in white, loudly sang:

GLORIA! GLORIA! GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO! ET IN TERRA PAX HOMINIBUS BONÆ VOLUNTATIS.

And they vanished to Heaven as swift as they came.

Thus, the shepherds looked to the east whence the angel once stood, and saw the light from Heaven, towards the City of David.

Unbeknownst to the shepherds, even to the angel before, a silhouette of a man stood far and watched what occurred, his gaze turned to the beam of light and a small smile etched on his face.

"Ah, Gabriel… so it begins."

-Line Break-

"Here I stand inside your Crystal Tower… O God, Almighty Father, Lord of Lords, Emperor and Heavenly King, what can I do for you?" The man said as he walked inside a tower, filled with scones of blue fire that illuminated the large room.

"… Keep the Balance between Order and Disorder," a very powerful voice boomed from everywhere, and the man merely sighed.

"So, basically do what I have been doing?"

"Indeed, and one day, war will come, the one that will shape the future of this world, and the time I vanish in the shadows to watch this world… and you, must take my place in time, but rest assured, I will return…" at that moment, the man felt the presence of the omnipotent one vanished.

"Not much to go forward with that one, but I'm not sure, but it seems I have to look forward towards the Far Horizons ahead…"

A/N: Rewrite is here! And It's a very short prologue, but rest assured, I will do a longer chapter next. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all of you. God Bless you all.
