Chapter 1 Playing God

In the beginning, the world was ruled by the mighty Annunaki, an advanced alien race that descended from the heavens to our planet. They were the creators of mankind, having engineered the human race as a means of producing gold for their own purposes.

As the years passed, the Annunaki grew more and more powerful, building vast cities and monuments that filled the ancient world. They lived for eons, guiding humanity and watching over their creation. However, as time went on, they began to grow tired of their mortal existence, and they began to dream of a way to become immortal themselves.

One day, the wisest and most powerful of the Annunaki, Enki, came up with a plan to create a secret elixir that would grant them eternal life. However, to keep the knowledge of the secret elixir from the humans who served them, Enki created a secret garden, where he and his closest followers could drink the elixir and be forever young.

But Enki's plan eventually unraveled, as the greedy and envious Annunaki began to suspect that he was hiding something from them. They searched the ancient world for the garden of the gods, but they could never find it.

One of the Annunaki, Ea, was particularly obsessed with finding the secret garden, and he became consumed with the desire for immortality. He finally resorted to kidnapping Enki's daughter, the priestess Ninhursag, and he threatened to kill her unless Enki revealed the location of the secret garden.

Enki had no choice but to comply, and Ea and a group of Annunaki finally discovered the garden, and they drank the elixir, becoming immortal like the gods they worshiped. However, their new form of existence did not come without a price- for they were now cursed to exist forever outside the natural order of the world, never aging and detached from the human experience.

As time continued on, the Annunaki began to fade from the memory of humanity, their vast cities and monuments swallowed up by the sands of history. But the legend of the gods who sought immortality lived on, reminding us of the dangers that come with pride and arrogance, and of the price we pay when we try to play the role of gods ourselves.
