1. STORY STATEMENT:
What If The Devil…Banished God…From Heaven?
2. ANTAGONIST PLOTS THE POINT:
Helel is the co-creator of a heavenly realm called Alegion with Adonai. Close as brothers, together they utilize a planetary dominion in the effort to grow an instinctual need to create and learn about their evolving powers. That is, until an unforeseen clash of wills over how to govern humankind on the planet Eden commences; and the one who remained with a handful of Morning Stars (Guardian Angels) on Alegion, is not the being we were led to believe. Helel casts out Adonai to the plane of humanity. In lieu of killing each other, they try to get the other to submit to their ways via the manipulation of humankind throughout history. Watching from above, Helel is the aggressor but knows confronting Adonai on Eden’s plane could lead to death. Eventually, Adonai knows one must die – but Helel uses a loyal and resourceful cult of humans from afar to break the will of Adonai. Once Helel can accomplish the task at hand, the last living creator will descend on Eden – under the guise as a “Savior.” Choices the last standing creator enacts upon humankind becomes veiled…as does who will rise to challenge the misleading Helel.

4. COMPARABLES:
“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” by Seth Grahame-Smith in terms of the alternate history approach to a familiar story (i.e. The Bible) complimented with the self-aware humor that evolves as the story opens up in modern times.
“The Devil's Workshop: A Metaphysical Extravaganza” by Donnally Miller for its philosophical tone woven through an adventurous action-packed exploration.
I would just like to add this has grounded fantasy approach similar to what Christopher Nolan executed with his “Dark Knight” film franchise by infusing larger-than-life characters in a more reality based tone.
5. CORE WOUND AND PRIMARY CONFLICT (HOOK LINE):
When the “Devil” banishes “God” from heaven, how will humankind react to learning the true nature about their creation while having to interact with both moral, deceptive, and violent divine beings.
6. OTHER MATTERS OF CONFLICT: TWO MORE LEVELS:
Adonai must deal with counteracting Helel’s manipulative treachery while imprisoned on the plane of humankind. Adonai, though pure at heart, is morally bound by a portal used to travel from their realm of Alegion to humanity’s. Said portal governs the divine’s power while roaming Eden. However, Helel makes a risky play to violate these laws – which gives Adonai an idea on how to accomplish the goal of luring, and then destroying, the corrupt co-creator – despite having to violate the moral code embedded and thereby nullifying “God’s” lifeforce.
Helel initiates a natural disaster to distract Adonai; which allows the former to sneak onto Eden. Helel then romantically manipulates a woman named Mary to birth a spawn (Jesus) – who could potentially undo Adonai’s influence. Essentially the Devil’s offspring, Adonai reluctantly brings Jesus to a harsh justice (death). By doing so, Adonai willfully violates the divine governing laws while on Eden (in this case, directly causing physical harm to humankind). That said, as centuries pass, Adonai wrestles with the idea of birthing a demigod through a human as Helel once did. This deceptive act would end the existence of Adonai – who is humankind’s best protection against The Devil. However, if Helel believes Adonai has died, and takes the bait, a Devil can then descend upon Eden – unaware that Adonai’s heir does have the power to administer a deathblow – if the heir accepts this destiny.
Next, likewise sketch a hypothetical scenario for the "secondary conflict" involving the social environment. Will this involve family? Friends? Associates? What is the nature of it?
After Adonai resorts to ending the life of Jesus, those select humans who assisted, choose to create a written lie (The Bible) to ensure a non-violent moralistic path for humankind – which will hopefully keep Helel’s influence at bay. Adonai struggles with this for its implementation involves wielding evil’s tools at various points throughout history. By enacting this, Adonai implores humankind to believe and nurture a lie. Meeting key individuals who are privy to this ancient agenda, some start to lose faith and question what they fight for; leading to betrayal and death; therefore, allowing a Devil to potentially gain and wield balance-shifting power through its unwavering human disciples.
7. THE INCREDIBLE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING
DOMINATURE starts the reader off in a divine realm in the cosmos. An excerpt for how I describe it is pasted here:
Akin to night overtaking the setting sun, a steady tint of
brightness accents the dark void of infinite space. The vast
mirage of a seemingly transparent floor canvas yields a landscape
encompassing structures built from materials so refined, the
human mind would not be able to articulate if asked.
Standing with an upward gaze at a conversation taking place on a
high-rise tower is a human-like being, fair mannered in expression,
though imposing in stature. Unable to hear the dialogue of said conversation,
the being appears to be hanging on every word as another,
slightly more masculine, approaches.
“They’ve been meeting. All have noticed. Is there belief you’ll decipher
what equation their powerful minds circumvent at this time,
Gerwen?”
Gerwen, not diverting the gaze, says in a deep tonal voice, “Which is
why you come forth now? Taun’s inquisitive spirit wonders as well.”
“I have no yearning for what our creators Adonai and Helel discuss
until ready to divulge,” claims Taun. “They have our trust. Inform us
prior to their public decree, this you know.”
Gerwen breaks the concentration and walks down a staircase towards
a valley sporadically populated by similar-looking beings. They are met
by Zamus and Quen, also blessed with physical prowess and height,
both of which equally curious to the dealings of their creators.
“If true, new life has sprung over our domain,” says an eloquent
Quen. “Though the catalyst remains mysterious.”
“Mysterious?” says the blunt Zamus. “The answer lies with the two
of Gerwen’s persistent focus.”
“No matter,” says Taun. “Whether spawned from Adonai and Helel
or an unknown, all we can do is observe from this realm. Let us rejoice if
their life comes with attractive engagement.”
“Perhaps, extending our influential engagement is the discussion
they have,” adds Gerwen.
“Engagement?” says Zamus. “Sharing our presence as the four of us
stand now?”
“Bliss coddles our ever-existence,” says Taun. “To give this willing to
sub-beings? Worthy has no species proved.”
“Our ever-existence you speak of, Taun, consumes knowledge for this
plane created by the pinnacle of a hierarchy,” says Gerwen. “With
purpose, we nurture. With purpose, we advance. Without purpose, static
power, we become. Is this not where our realm of Alegion stands now?”
Pondering Gerwen’s audacious proclamation about the heavenly
state of Alegion, the trio watch Gerwen separate from the discussion.
Eventually the remaining disperse amongst the plane of frosted glass, as
the constant fiery glow of the universe’s brightest star surrounds their
realm.
THE ELEMENTS OF WEATHER CEASE TO EXIST AS EVIDENT BY THE DIRTY BLOND
locks only moving as Adonai’s body turns to continue with Helel after a
brief pause in conversation. Mirror images of each other - the only
noticeable differences are the length of their hair, with Helel’s resting
longer on the collarbone, and Adonai’s piercing wide eyes. The creators
lean against a wall of their private chamber atop an uncovered monumental
pillar. In the cosmos, registering clear through their optic lens of
vision despite the distance, is a blue orb with assortments of landmasses.
From there, the story toggles between present day in such places as the bustling midtown Atlanta area, the inner sanctums of The Vatican, and a secret hi-tech compound in the U.K. Eventually the distinct timelines explain why certain actions are happening beginning with the divines embedding themselves during the start of the Roman Empire era. Thorough research of politics and culture are referenced to help set the tone for how the divines maneuvered amongst the human population. Once the timelines come together about halfway through, this becomes a globe-trotting exploration with settings of Antarctica, various monuments, and the Doomsday Vault in Norway hosting key action sequences. Everyday settings such as parks, bars, and lavish parties are sprinkled in to advance character development and bridge story beats via character dialogue…
Walking through the pristine garden trail, the monumental tower
enchants their eyes as they gawk at the crystal-clear reflection hitting the
manmade pool just feet away from where they stand. Getting closer, they
see the golden door surrounded by a moat. Michael goes to the left of the
tower as Giancarlo takes the right. They scope it out, meeting in the back
at the sundial, shining ever so bright in the sunlight.
As the story transcends from psychological to a physical chess match with divine influenced natural disasters happening across the world, the story jumps into the near future (2028) where the ancient continent of Pangea is reformed - wiping out half the population. This all climaxes to an immortal battle at the refurbished roman Colosseum where the fantastical elements laid out in the story crescendo.
Other excerpts articulating the early reformation of Pangea:
SCIENTISTS ON ANTARCTICA’S OUTER MONITORING STATIONS ARE CONTINUING their years-long study of the climate change effect from the trilogy of volcanic eruptions in 2020. That is, until the central ice shelf has ridden a
surf pushing them north for the last twenty minutes or so. Off in the
distance, their sonar imaging has two giant landmasses the shape of
India and Australia seemingly barreling towards their location.
In the center of the now moving icy continent, Guardian Angels were
instructed by Helel to gather with Gerwen here, as rumors of trying to
instigate a return to Alegion is the cause for the worldly overhaul. The
continental movements draw concern on their faces, yet what they are
enduring is minimal compared to other areas of Eden.
OVER JENSON’S SHOULDER, REVDEN STANDS WITH FENG, THEIR SON, AND
Yuri, watching the world reconfiguration nullifying the Atlantic Ocean
on Jenson’s laptop. Europe is seemingly moved as a lever with the
extended land attachments of Russia and Asia being swung up to the
North Pole. When zooming in, portions of countries are ripped apart
with the remains settling on opposite ends of the hemispheres. Certain
areas seem to be experiencing less movement, such as South America.
Then there’s Japan which ended up west of China and Russia.
Peering out from under the tunnels in the Colosseum, The Devil’s
band is watching Helel on an in-arena platform, deeply locked in a
grueling trance.
VALEN IS IN THE COASTAL CITIES OF AFRICA. HE’S WATCHING THE OVERFLOW
of the oceans go inland, wiping out clusters of a helpless humanity.
Going further inland, structures continue to crush the ones who built
them up as achievements to advancing their way of life. The lone
Morning Star tries to physically move people out of harm’s way, though
the sheer volume of destruction renders Valen in a state of helplessness.
AT THE NOW DEFUNCT “SINGING TOWER,” MICHAEL EMERGES WITH A
constant pain as he can feel the cries of a rattled world. Making his way
outside, he sees a growing, dark horizon approaching from miles out.
Ascending to the top of the tower, he knows Helel is manipulating the
elements. Michael tries to muster up divine antibodies to slow whatever
viral ploy is attacking Eden. The force which Michael meets head on has
an unrelenting momentum for his only half God-like spirit. Exhausting
every effort, the pressure submits Michael down on his knees and then to
his back, drained like never before since ingesting these powers.
HOURS HAVE PASSED AND THE VIOLENT READJUSTMENT CASTS AN ASHY
shadow over the sky with disturbed seas comprised of dead fish, animal
carcasses, and human remains. Surviving humanity slowly rises together
to see yet another altering change in their existence. Shortly after the
rumbling subsided, the Antichrist is branded the culprit. Footage from
the Colosseum is shown encompassing a fatigued Helel with tactful
headlines annotating the Savior’s efforts to stop the assault as he did a
few years ago.
Murky satellite imagery shows the world has literally come together.
Shots from Morocco lie in the spots where Boston and New York City
once stood. Places such as Iran are no longer landlocked. Cuba crashed
into Louisiana and Texas. The Bahamas and other similar-sized islands
were run through by larger landmasses, negating their existence. A death
toll projection ranges from half the population to near extinction.

OPENING SCENE (CHAPTER 1): Intros protagonist and antagonist in a re-imagining of a familiar realm populated with new characters setting up potential conflict...

THE ELEMENTS OF WEATHER CEASE TO EXIST AS EVIDENT BY THE DIRTY BLOND locks only moving as Adonai’s body turns to continue with Helel after a brief pause in conversation. Mirror images of each other - the only noticeable differences are the length of their hair, with Helel’s resting longer on the collarbone, and Adonai’s piercing wide eyes. The creators lean against a wall of their private chamber atop an uncovered monumental pillar. In the cosmos, registering clear through their optic lens of vision despite the distance, is a blue orb with assortments of landmasses. It is a topic of significance as Helel and Adonai brainstorm the value of its current state.
“Infinitely, our advancement has been lacking,” says Adonai. “Now right before us, giveth an opportunity worth exploring. To intervene with supplemental power has become the quandary.”
“Tampering without knowledge presented to the entirety of Alegion was a calculated guilt,” says Helel. “Though it appears to giveth an opportunity sought out. Concern of our duplicitous actions could weigh mightily on those closest.”
“In turn, have you not sensed complacency? Worried that efforts have become mundane, fruitless?”
“And if our Morning Stars feel cast aside? What lies on that plane is not to the level of our being.”
Despite Helel’s subtle counter, Adonai says with subdued excitement, “This is a joyous marker for Alegion. Expansiveness is the potential to further unlock our internal powers and motivations.”
“Adonai, our impulse is to create. Growth on that plane has been undeniable compared to other trials. Though taking a speculative approach on internal reactions is linked with risk. Even what sparked our life-force remains veiled. Who is to say our powers are contingent?”
“Do they not give birth to all surrounding us? Our calling to create initiated a universal domain. So much time in solitude comprehending who we are, did it not lead to achievements of purified glories? This is the reason we began again and amplified the realm of Alegion?”
Helel steps over to a lookout point away from the planet in question, fixating on the polished landscapes of plateaus enacting as miniature domiciles interwoven with physical structures of geometrical shapes defying the laws of physics. Symbols are carved into mountains as the eternal luminous night decorated with enlarged stars can mesmerize any being privileged to behold such peace and beauty.
“Sound are the initiatives you speak, Adonai. Unprecedented they are. A portal built to influence does come with unknowns. I stand by thee, though understanding will need conveying to the Morning Stars of Alegion.”
Adonai walks over to Helel saying, “Together, my brother, we will ignite a cycle enchanting the mind of all beings. If they wisely choose to stay with this literal journey.”
