A Game of Cat and Mouse Spanning Thousands of Years is Suddenly Coming to a Head in the Legacy of the Watchers Series
Thousands of years ago, something came out of the sky that changed the course of human history. Testimonies abound of these 'angels' and their hybrid offspring, the 'Nephilim' giants. These mighty 'gods' quickly rose to power, and the ancient world came alive with industry and culture. Many consider this period in history to be the 'dawn' of our civilization. People who lived as hunters and gatherers for hundreds of thousands of years suddenly began settling in one place, cultivating the land and even governing themselves.
They invented irrigation, the wheel, protective armor, and algebra. They somehow acquired knowledge of our solar system that even modern technology wasn't able to confirm until the 1970's. Most importantly, they began to read and write. Yet an undercurrent of terror was spreading like wildfire, carrying whispers of 'djinn,' 'daeva' and 'demons.'
The Watchers were supposed to do just that: watch. But humankind proved far too tempting and they 'fell' to earth, taking wives for themselves and even having children. But their children grew into unruly giants whose souls didn't ascend like human souls, but remained here, on this earth. These errant Nephilim souls haunt the earth to this day. They are the 'djinn,' the 'hidden ones,' also known as 'daeva' and 'demon.' They have one purpose...to live.
