noah, shem, ham, japheth, ila

he cursed us to struggle by the sweat of our brow to survive!

this relic belongs to the descendants of Cain now.

 

they have a purpose.

the wind takes their seeds and more flowers grow.

we only collect what we can use and what we need.

 

you know how long it is since we ate meat?

they forget strength comes from the Creator.

 

he had to see it sometime.

 

he's going to destory the world.

we should have left already.

 

how do you know your grandfathers still alive?

i saw his mountain.

there are cities ahead.

 

they must have been scavenging here.

someone scavenged from them.

 

--

 

do you forget how they betrayed the Creator?

leave then here to rot.

 

if the fever doesn't take her, i think she'll live.

 

watchers have learned to fear men.

and then we saw their fall. and we pitied them.

we were not stone then, but light.

 

i see a glimmer of adam again.

 

what can compete with fresh, ripe berries? nothing.

yes, it's been so long i can barely remember the taste of them.

i'm craving them now.

if man continued in his ways, the creater would annihilate this world.

can it not be averted?

can this destruction be averted?

the medicine always tastes bad.

 

that must have made her feel safe.

it separates the foul from the pure. the wicked from the innocent.

 

he's helped me see what we're here to do.

we've been chosen to save the innocent.

 

a great flood is coming.

 

you treacherous snake!

 

--

 

and the hatchlings will spread right across the world.

it's our job to look after them.

all that creeps, all that crawls, all that slithers.

 

look at his hand on that weapon. i believe he is something of mine.

an ark to hold the innocent when the creator sends his deluge to wipe out the wicked from this world.

 

orphaned children, cursed to struggle by the sweat of our brow to survive.

 

feed only those that will fight.

 

whatever he's done or said, shem is very fond of you.

i can't give any of that to him.

why would the creator want a barren girl on his ark?

 

i'm asking you to be a man and do what needs to be done.

the wickedness is not just in them.

shem's loyalty, japheth's kindness, ham's integrity.

shem is blinded by desire.

ham is covetous.

japheth lives only to please.

have you no mercy?

 

he leaves our boys with no one.

so then you will not help me?

i can't bear to think of them dying alone.

 

--

 

i can help you getaway.

 

my eyes aren't as good as they used to be.

 

why will you not converse with me?

this rain is meant to wash us off the face of this world.

men united are invincible!

 

the creator brings him home.

 

they cannot all be soldiers, father.

 

we have been entrusted with a task much greater than our own desires.

 

he just let her die.

now you want revenge.

 

what i see is how hard this was for you to do as a man who respect life, a man who loves his children.

 

the beasts are precious. there are only two of each.

he belittles you by telling you, you must serve them.

something to take dominion over it and subdue it.
