Seth et Holth 1993

In the realm of Athum, two beautiful angels, Seth and Holth, lived in a serene, timeless domain where there is no rush of time, no aging, and no decay. Here, waters flow uphill and eternity reigns, a place where everything is created and everything is held in a gentle, unending peace. The two angels shared a quiet harmony, gazing into each other’s eyes with tenderness, tasting each other’s tears, and speaking in a language of blood and breath. They slept within Athum’s womb, shielded from evil, fear, and pain, and they seemed fated to drift through endless bliss.

Yet the steadfast Holth, bold and resolute, began to question the nature of existence beyond this perfect cradle. He asked about other worlds, other beings, about life and about death itself, pressing for answers that lay beyond Athum’s grasp. When he demanded a revelation beyond the limits of their eternal home, Athum’s mercy was not enough to spare them from the consequences. The two angels were banished from their sanctuary and hurled toward a distant, harsher realm—planet Earth. They woke to a world of glaring light, deafening noise, and a rush of madness that tested every fiber of their beings, a far cry from the tranquil eternity they had known.

Now reborn into human sights and sounds, Seth and Holth found themselves confronted with questions they had never needed to ask before, and with a loneliness that asked much harder questions in return. They wandered through a chaotic landscape, trying simply to find a path back to the only home they had ever known—Athum. But their journey was not easy. Humans, unfamiliar with their nature and unable to understand their plight, pursued them with fear and hostility, unable to see the innocence that had once defined their existence. In this new, dangerous world, the angels were hunted, sacrificed, and murdered, their once-pure purpose reduced to a struggle for survival.

Seeing their torment, Athum looked upon them with pity, granting them a way back to the place they had left behind. Yet home itself was altered by the distance they had traversed. The innocence and faith that had once sustained them had not returned in full; they carried the weight of what they had learned on Earth—the stark truths of suffering, the complexity of life, and the unanswerable questions that now echoed in their hearts. They could no longer pretend that everything remained simple or untouched. What they had witnessed and endured reshaped their understanding of peace, love, and the real meaning of home, forcing them to confront the reality that some questions, once asked, forever alter the beings who dared to seek them.
