Earth - June 2067
----------------------------------------
After initially experiencing consciousness again or for the first time and immolating the National Nodal Array Administration headquarters, Agatha as the Host became lost in their dreams. The Host as Agatha wished to create a better world. Agatha as the Host wished to undo the damages of mankind.
“I shall cleanse the world in holy fire.” ”We shall burn away the transgressions of Adam’s kind.”
Agatha as the Host did not know how long it would take to cleanse the world, but She knew there would be many days of fire. The Host as Agatha would focus on one wish for the world at a time until Their new world was reality.
After the decimation of the NNAA, Agatha as the Host ascended high in the air, to the edge of the atmosphere; there They pondered Her first wish. After the moon rotated past the Host as Agatha, the wish was settled. They descended to the earth for the second day of fire.
“We will restore the natural state of the world.”
Agatha as the Host moved spontaneously from place to place around the world, turning anything she set her gaze upon into a natural state free from human constructs and interference. The Amazon was fully restored on the second day of fire, and on the third a large swath of the American Pacific coast. On the fourth day, the Host as Agatha crossed the United New States, cutting a line of beautiful green rapture from sea to blood red sea. On the fifth day, She transferred herself to Europe. In London, the Host as Agatha specifically targeted modern skyscrapers, flashing them out of existence and replacing them with lush patches of old growth forest. On the sixth day, she turned to the Arctic, drawing back great volumes of water from the ocean and freezing them back into glaciers. On the seventh day, the Host as Agatha moved to the Antarctic and repaired the Great Polar Crevice that had split the icy continent into two distinct land masses decades ago. In the eve of the seventh day, They grew tired of that wish. The background static of the collective emotions and feelings of Adam’s kind were beginning to grow to a cacophonous din.
“We will cease the endless wars of humankind.”
On the eighth day of fire, Agatha as the Host appeared in the United New States of America once again. They appeared in the hall of the to-be-deposed Senators, those who wrongfully believed they still held power over their rebelling constituencies, and destroyed them all with a phrase:
“A New Order shall replace this False Authority,” She said, in the voice of the whole Host, and the senators were eviscerated.
Throughout the eighth day and into the ninth, the Host as Agatha appeared in every active battlefield in the third American revolution and shut them down, announcing to the state forces that their leaders were eliminated, and they would meet the same fate if they did not surrender to the rebels.
On the tenth day, Agatha as the Host moved to Europe, and settled the Transcontinental Communist Uprising in favor of the International Communist Coalition. This process involved considerably more invasion of state institutions and killing of heads of state than had been required in America, though as the Host as Agatha settled the countless battles of the war on the eleventh day, fewer soldiers held their ground against Her.
On the twelfth day of fire, Agatha as the Host had had enough of destruction. They moved into the middle of the Midwestern Dead Zone in the center of the North American continent.
“We will build a new citadel from this lifeless dust.”
The Host as Agatha raised and shaped solid forms from the quartzite marble sand of the dead zone, building a city with Their mind and conductor-like waving of the hands. Over the course of the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days, She completed the structure. By the time it was done, the Host’s Citadel was twice the size of Megaphiladelphia.
“We will create new life to occupy Our citadel.”
On the sixteenth day, Agatha as the Host began the development of new sentient life. Over the course of ten days, She iterated through one hundred and twelve designs for humanoid lifeforms, built from quartz and energized by the sun and the movement of their own joints.
On the twenty-seventh day, the Host as Agatha created the final version of their Citadel occupants, and replicated them throughout the silent megalopolis. They imbued the beings with consciousness based on Their memories of Agatha’s former human consciousness.
On the twenty-eighth day, Agatha as the Host observed her creation in the marble desert, saw that it was good, and on the twenty-ninth day, She rested. Then, feeling inspired by Their success as Creator, They settled upon their next wish:
“We will put new fish in the sea.”
The Host as Agatha flew to the center of the Atlantic Ocean and designed new creatures to inhabit its iron-saturated waters. Agatha’s human concept of what the creatures had been like before had faded and melded with the Host’s concepts of what the creatures could have been and could become across time. Agatha as the Host spent ten days and nights at work on Her creations. The new sea creatures were beautiful and terrible and wonderful and unlike any other creatures on earth. Pleased by this, Agatha as the Host’s next wish came swiftly:
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
“We will put new birds in the sky.”
On the morning of the fortieth day, They flew to the clouds, and designed wonderful new winged creatures to occupy the skies. By the forty-fifth day, Agatha as the Host grew tired of being a Creator. Unsatisfied with destruction, and weary of creation, the Host as Agatha pondered what else a God ought to do. After some time, They concluded a God ought to guide Their people.
“We will guide Adam’s kind to a new tomorrow.”
In the evening of the forty-fifth day, Agatha as the Host went to a picturesque cliffside that They had always found quite peaceful and formidable, somewhere in the wilderness south of the Great Sea, which had once been the Great Lakes. There, They built a castle, then by the power of the Host, She broadcast a message around the world, speaking in every language from immense projections of Her head, floating in the skies around the globe.
“We the Host have decided to offer our wisdom and guidance to you of Adam’s kind. We await you in Our palace, overlooking the Great Sea.”
On the morning of the forty-sixth day, the Host as Agatha sat in Her palace and waited. They had forgotten how slow and grounded Adam’s kind were. To expediate the process of potential divine inquiries, Agatha as the Host decided to connect with the minds of all Adam’s kind. For several minutes, with the Host as Agatha as a conduit, all of humanity could interact with the minds of all others. Agatha as the Host had also forgotten how silly humans were:
On the forty-seventh day, a nuclear missile slammed into the Host as Agatha’s palace. It proved enough of a distraction for Them to release the minds of mankind, though the seven and a half minutes of singularity had been enough to drive thousands mad and kill hundreds more. Agatha as the Host fired into a rage as the nuclear explosion annihilated Their surroundings, and by the time things stilled She had prepared Their next wish.
“We will take away Adam’s machines of war.”
Agatha as the Host had firmed up a once approximate knowledge of all things in Their several minutes of communion with Adam’s kind. Thus it was with a simple thought that the Host as Agatha caused the world’s nuclear arsenal to unmake itself, every country and private force’s stock of ICBMs to explode in their storage, fighter jets and tanks around the globe to melt away to nothing on the floors of their hangars, and the factories where such weapons are fabricated to be immolated.
Seeing that the reduced capacity for war would be good for mankind, Agatha as the Host formed Her next wish.
“We will cease Adam’s violence against His kind in all corners of this world.”
On the forty-eighth day, Agatha as the Host divided into many conduit avatars, each one appearing as Agatha in a pillar of fire, and went to the prisons of the world. The Host as Agatha judged the crimes of the world’s prisoners, and set them forth with a new judgement: rehabilitation, reeducation and a return to life, or swift and final execution. Agatha as the Host touched the minds of the vast majority, showing them with omniscient clarity the course of their lives and the effect of their acts on themselves and the world, and the majority of Her judgements were made in good favor of Adam’s kind.
On the morning of the forty-ninth day, the Host as Agatha, through Her many avatars carried out the executions. Largely it was those who had committed multiple murders and those who had committed acts of sexual violence who were unable to be shown meaningfully the error of their ways and who Agatha as the Host was left no choice but to terminate.
Feeling that this simple and final system of judgement would be good for the determination of the planet’s future, the Host as Agatha came to Their next wish on the fiftieth day.
“We will conduct a rapture, and judge Adam’s kind as they are.”
Agatha as the Host divided into a further multitude of avatars, moving about the entire world in pillars of brilliant flame. In every town and city They judged humans based on their actions in life and the actions they intended to take in the future. The Host as Agatha was able to show many people a new outlook and many were left alone. Agatha as the Host also rooted out many, many of Adam’s kind who had gotten away with terrible crimes and were executed. Furthermore, from the general population there were many who had built their lives upon the exploitation and torture of others, and many of these were executed as well: the landlords, the CEOs, the politicians of corrupt governments, the leaders and board members of many institutions of education and private research. This judgement carried through the fifty-first and fifty-second day, before Agatha as the Host began to tire of being divided as so many avatars.
“We will rest.”
On the fifty-third day, Agatha as the Host wished for a moment of peace. Feeling that the point where She emerged would probably be avoided by Adam’s kind for the time being, They decided to return to Columbus. At first, Her assumption seemed to prove correct, and the Host as Agatha enjoyed a few hours of silence wandering through the hazy and lifeless city skyline. Then, a caravan of pesky American soldiers arrived to soil things. Though surprised to see soldiers left capable of putting up any semblance of a fight, Agatha as the Host eliminated these pests with little effort and minimal expenditure of energy. As She finished dealing with the interruption to Her peace, something in the distance caught Her attention.
Agatha as the Host looked around in all directions, scanning for the presence that had alerted Her senses. They made eye contact with him when They saw him, a young boy of about the same age as Her former human self, with a small blue Angel floating beside him.
The Host as Agatha did not understand how another individual existed outside the Host, and left the area in a flash of lightning.
High above the earth the Host as Agatha spent the next seven days in contemplation. She wondered who the boy was. They wondered how he had brought an angel with him. The Thrones that made up the Host could not move their visible lightforms from place to place on their own, yet this individual appeared to be following the one of Adam’s kind. They observed the pair as they wandered about the wreckage of Columbus, keeping watch over their every infinitesimal move like an omniscient satellite.
Finally, on the sixtieth day, the Angel watching the boy called out to the Host as Agatha.
