Note: The second story in our “Sunlight Moonlight” series, which is closely connected to “Catharsis”. Enjoy and happy Halloween! :)
Note about the Sunlight Moonlight series: We figured starting this series would be a good place and way to write out (mainly porn :D) side-stories with more pairings from the Codex Omega universe. So these side-stories are closely connected to the main storyline, but can be read as individual short-stories too.

Sunlight Moonlight: We The Gods
By SMA & Useless-girl
Part 1
He's been absorbing knowledge since the first moment he was born from the blinding pure white light his Father had used to create him. His purpose was to observe, learn, collect knowledge and wisdom and help his brothers and sisters to better understand their Father's world and creations, the humans.
Vega was a higher angel, filling the void the Morning Star had left after his betrayal and Fall. For nearly two hundred years his dark eyes were kept on everything. There was just so much to learn about this world! During these years many lower ranking angels turned to him for knowledge. Most of the time he could give them satisfying answers, but among the immortals he counted as a young one and knew that he would have to learn much, much more to live up to his title and position, to fulfill his purpose.
That's why he asked for permission to travel to different dimensions, but mainly to the earthly plane to study Father's creation from up close, so to say.
The permission was granted and he did just that. For decades he has watched humans evolve, suffer, love, die and be born in the chaotic circle of a much shorter life-span than angels or other supernatural beings have. Humans had many short-comings, flaws, sins, but also virtues, love, art and beauty. So much beauty...
As the pillar of wisdom, art and beauty, Vega was drawn to those the most. Unbeknownst to most humans, he kept inspiring and guiding those who had the potential to form a better future for humanity. Some thought that he got involved too much at times, but the angel of light couldn't help himself...
Though with time he started to learn and see the flaws not just in humanity. His observing eyes started to open to the flaws of the "infallible creator" and his angels too. Vega kept these observations to himself, because he shouldn't have noticed these things. Most of his brothers and sisters in Heaven followed God's word blindly and without questioning anything, whatever was expected from them to do.
As the new angel of wisdom, it was in his nature to look at things from different angles and question everything, though.
Of course he knew about the "big break" in the ranks of Heaven not long before he was born. He knew about Samael, Lucifer and their followers who thought differently and chose to defy Father. Vega never told to anyone, but the whole ordeal and their reasons interested him, but not many dared to talk about that at Home. No wonder, though. Many feared "the Fall", so they rather never talked or thought about those things.
There were also other Gods on Earth, but he knew even less about those. It was strictly forbidden to get in contact with them and Vega knew them as evil creatures threatening Father's work, including them too, of course.
For many decades he kept himself far from even wanting to take a glimpse of any of these Gods. But with time as a very fascinating civilization started flourishing more and more by the river called Nile, his curiosity won over despite the fact that he knew those people worshiped other Gods... Gods of whom Vega kept hearing more and more interesting stories.
First the long-haired angel had some feelings resembling fear as he ventured closer to that forbidden territory, hiding himself and his presence as best as he could. But he was burning with the thirst for more knowledge. He wanted to see those cities, those people... maybe even the Gods...
Source: Gods of Egypt
The rising empire of the Egyptian kingdom in the early days had richer lands. Not even because of the Nile and how it fed the ground with nutritious mud which it dragged across from the inner continent. But because of the wise Earthly leaders whom the foreign divine beings helped to organize a great nation.
Just like centuries ago the first Sumer and Babylonian civilizations, now Egypt started to rise in knowledge, power and good central leadership. The architecture and arts bloomed big cities and monuments in the Nile triangle.
More people lived closer to the center palaces. Worked for the king and his family and got education from a wide range of subjects. Allowing new options for life as a healer, an artist, cosmologist, priest or soldier. The cities and the kingdom were growing fast. Becoming more advanced in knowledge and technology than most of the known world at that time. Even building connections to faraway lands and exchanging studies and goods.
The main city was built with a big palace near the sacred caves and the temples carved in stone in the mountain. Streets from all around led to those, as well as from the farther, less fancily decorated and smaller simple homes of the locals on the outskirts.
The invisible angel's big dark eyes were wide from wonderment as he kept watching the cities buzzing with life. One by one he took a closer look of the center places and even the palace. There were signs of the people's respect and love to their gods everywhere. Paintings, statues, temples, even small trinkets on the crowded market places.
This was a completely alien culture for Vega, but it fascinated him on a deep level. For days he kept coming back, always discovering something new, something even more exciting. Or simply just things that in his very being knew that they were just right.
Like he had noticed that no matter if they were in the inner cities or on the less wealthy outskirts, children were taught how to write, who their rulers and gods were, what was the history of their people, and also sciences and arts.
Vega had a soft smile on his face as the warm breeze was playing with his long brown hair while he was watching a group of children being taught by a teacher how to write "hieroglyphs" as he had learned they were called. They weren't bothered by the animal life living in close quarter with them either.
The visitor has seen that these humans were living more in balance, in harmony with nature. There were even sacred species like cats or baboons which roamed the streets freely. Of course they were considered as the animals of the respected and generous gods, whose touch could be felt everywhere around.
Indeed. The Gods of Egypt kept their guarding eyes on all of the land. The more frequently visiting creature grabbed their attention too. And they got intrigued by sensing the other dimension. It was clear that the being was trying to stay mostly hidden but his powers could only fool humans. He seemed to be gathering information about everything in the main city. Focusing on that so much that he did not even find it strange that more street dogs followed him around, even in his invisible form. Hawks were watching from above or from a roof of a house. And baboons in groups were keeping their eyes on him.
That day there was even more to see as the citizens seemed to be preparing for some festival or celebration. The cities were buzzing with even more life and Vega found himself lost in the midst of the pulsing excited energies.
In fact, he was so lost and amazed that he even forgot to hide his presence. For a while he didn't sense anything in his childish wonderment, but as he was taking a shortcut through a narrow and quieter alley, he finally realized that he was being watched and followed... By animals?
And yes, as he looked over his shoulder, he saw a baboon and a big fuzzy black dog clearly tracing his footsteps. They didn't try to hide or lurk and looked right into Vega's eyes. So they could see him. And... as the angel focused more while the strange animals got closer, he realized that they weren't regular beasts...
As the foreigner started backing away with the sudden realization, the big dog howled at the sky, sounding more like a feral creature than a dog itself. But to his call a hawk shrieked and dived down from above. Trapping the strange man from three sides, in a blink of an eye all of them were gone.
Everything happened so fast that Vega didn't even have time to defend himself or object. As his vision cleared, he quickly looked around. He realized that he was in a great cave lit by torches, huge columns carved and painted, the cave's every inch soaked in strong godly powers.
But that's not what held the angel's attention the most. It was the three beings surrounding him from three sides. They all had human-looking bodies, though double in size and their heads were of animals. A hawk, a jackal and an ibis.
Their presence was overwhelming and outright frightening as they were towering over the confused angel, whose brilliant white wings spread behind him on instinct. But they couldn't protect him from the gods' strangely echoing voices in his head and their mixed powers digging deeper and deeper into his being and thoughts. Vega wanted to yell at them to stop, but no words left his lips as he was standing there completely frozen, as if torn out from space and time.
The three beings stopped all of a sudden and looked at each other. Taking a few steps back, their figures shrank down to a normal human size as they let the angel get some space and collect himself.
"Who are you? And why are you stalking this realm?" the hawk-headed God asked in Vega's head and the jackal-headed God signaled with his hand to the angel to stand up.
Vega had no idea when his physical body had ended on his knees, but suddenly he regained control over himself and realized that he was panting, his hair in one of his slightly glowing eyes while the white wings time after time fluttered nervously.
He stood and swallowed hard, trying to gather his courage and himself and answer the Gods verbally.
"I am Vega, the second brightest star of my Father. I... I'm sorry. I came here to learn more. About everything... I hid because it is forbidden for me to go close to such places where other Gods rule. And I admit I feared you because of what I was told about you," he said truthfully.
The ibis-headed God nodded, just like validating what the angel said. To that the three gods changed to human form in dark human clothes.
"You are the child of the same who poisoned our lands with death to draw his own servants ruled by fear," the jackal God, who now looked as a long dark-haired man with a goatie said on his human voice. His small glowing eyes locked directly on Vega's. "We know of the Angel of Death and the Son of the Morning. You are made of light. My name is Seth here, God of the Darkness and Underworld, at times in a form of Anubis the God of the Dead and Guide of Spirits."
"I am known as Horus, the God of Light and Wisdom. Guardian of the Sun," the bald man who had a hawk head before said.
"Thoth, the God of Knowledge and teacher of all beings, Guard of the Moon," the ibis God added, now looking as a widely build man with long braided hair.
"If it is forbidden, then why are you here? You didn't learn from the fate of your elder?" Seth asked very interested in the creature shining in pure white light.
Vega's fear seemed to vanish as the Gods didn't feel so threatening anymore, although the angel didn't close his wings or lowered his guards yet. Not that he would be a match to even a single one of these beings. He watched mesmerized as all three of them changed their look again and he could size up their human forms too as they introduced themselves.
Of course, the angel had heard and saw the names and half-human, half-animal forms all over the cities, so that wasn't such a surprise to him. But their human form was just as intriguing to him. They were beautiful, mysterious and very strong in the young angel's eyes.
The dark eyes, which locked with Seth's intense gaze. Suddenly Vega's focus narrowed a bit from sizing up the more reigned in powers of the trio to the God of Darkness.
"It's an honor to meet all three of you. And yes, I know of my Father's... shortcomings," he admitted, not even trying to lie to them. He was sure they would know if he did and probably get angered by it. Besides, he always tried to avoid lying, unless it was necessary.
"I also know of the fate of my elders, but even that cannot stop my thirst for knowledge. After all, I am the angel of wisdom, art and beauty. I seek these all around the worlds. And I had learned what I could in Heaven. I... need to know more, to see more, to experience more... Knowledge, art and beauty cannot be restrained. I know this is dangerous and could cost me a lot, but here I am. At your mercy..." he finished, bowing his head so that more of his hair fell into his radiant face.
"Are you sure you know that what you just said is all against your father's ways? He is about obedience," Thoth said warningly. He has seen enough to feel sorry for the angel with the nature to thrust things that are forbidden.
"Yet... he keeps creating beings with a pinch of darkness... As if he loves to punish them for what he made them for," Seth added and raised his right hand, his index and middle finger pointing like in the murals of the walls of his God form. He took a step closer to Vega and touched the tip of the angel's wing.
Seth suddenly got covered by a thick dark fog and Vega turned into pure light in a shape of the angel. And deep inside that blinding white light which illuminated the whole tall cave, his very core showed a small swirling of light-grey energies.
"We can show you knowledge way before your Father came. But it has to be your decision to take the risk for yourself," Horus walked closer too. They were again holding Vega in the middle but not in a threatening way. It was more curiosity in the ancient beings.
"We never met a being of such pure light, despite your core... We all came from the outside dimension of the darkest void," Thoth explained. "We can treat you as our equal if you don't interfere with the development of these humans, and keep your Father away. We can learn about you too, it can be both ways beneficial."
Vega was fascinated and his whole being became freer and more aware and drawn to that darkness once the god touched him. It was something he had never felt before and he could faintly feel his core responding to that darkness, wanting to get closer, to get stronger and to know more...
"I know that what I just said was blasphemy against my Father. But it's the truth. Which is another form of knowledge and wisdom as we all know, I think," he said as his brilliant white light started to ebb down once he wasn't touched by Seth, the slight blush on his radiant face slowly becoming visible. A part of him mourned and already missed being in contact with the dark godly energies. It was very interesting and alluring to Vega, to say the least. And something to think about a bit later. But now he had to make a very important decision.
"That question about why he keeps creating us flawed, especially someone in the position where I am... It occurred to me too before. But if being punished for what I am is my purpose, I will fulfill it. Which means that I would love to learn more about you and the way you guide these humans. You say..." here he turned to Thoth "that I shouldn't interfere with these humans. I can try that, although even my presence can be inspiring for some. It's something I cannot fully control as being a patron of art too, so to say..." he hummed. "But otherwise I can avoid interfering..." he said softly, but his dark eyes were burning from the thirst for the vast amount of knowledge which was offered to him.
"Father isn't all-seeing like the others and his followers like to think. I have my ways to keep this a secret as long as I can. And of course you can study me and ask me questions. There are some... things though, which I'm not capable of telling you about Him and his work. Without seriously harming me or worse... I'm telling you these because I want to be completely honest with you. Getting such an offer from such ancient beings is an honor and for me... worth the risk," he added, looking all three of them in the eye, one by one, to let them see and also feel that he meant it.
The three Gods looked at each other in silence for a few minutes. Talking over things in their own inner way.
Seth kept glimpsing back at the Angel of Light, and Horus never missed any of those glimpses. Finally, Thoth spoke again.
"I give you a spell to enter this place. When you arrive we will know it. You must keep that spell from everyone," he said and on his opened turned up palm an ancient, even before Egypt type of writing started to glow. The words suddenly flew at Vega's body. "Follow us now, into the Eye of Truth," he added and turned, also his mates at the angel's sides and started walking to a silver and gold decorated gigantic gate.
The heavy wings of the gate started to open on their own when the Gods stepped before their painted pictures on it.
The inside was magnificent and magical. Many levels of shelves with all kind of scrolls in a huge hall. The place was lit by the outside light sweeping in through the cracks of the rocks and silver mirrors were used to help illuminate every part of the very godly hall craved into the mountain.
"We all had our parts in other times. Now we work as a trinity. We merged our powers together for the better usage between us. But when we arrived… I was the patron of literature," Horus said waving to some writing tables at one part of the hall. "Seth was the patron of visual arts," he pointed at a corner in half light – fitting for the God of Darkness – with papyrus and rocks with drawings and small bowls of different colored liquids to paint with, rags and brushes. "And Thoth was the patron of sounds and music," Horus smiled at said God as he stepped out of the way, revealing his own work space with many instruments and scrolls.
Vega knew he had to be patient and wait for the decision of the Gods, so despite his growing excitement, he just stood there in silence and felt grateful when they showed their trust in him with that spell. He swore he would keep it just to himself then followed them to the heavy gates.
Needless to say, his amazement just kept growing, especially after seeing what was behind the doors. THIS was Paradise. THIS was what Vega was living for. The great long hall, the levels, the shelves filled with a vast amount of unique and ancient knowledge... His heart started beating faster and his nearly black eyes tried to drink in all the details while fighting the burning caused by his moved feelings. After a minute or two he reminded himself to close his mouth and focus more on Horus' words.
The roles and parts the gods used to have fascinated Vega just as much. It was a bit surprising and kinda intimate to see those different working areas, but deep down he knew each fitted the gods... And he couldn't wait to learn more.
"I... I can't tell just how grateful I am for this..." he waved around, his eyes already searching where to start. "I think... I might stay for a while," he smiled more radiant than ever before as he walked to the closest shelf on his left, already lost in the desire to learn more...
***
Even the gods need some privacy. It was always like that. The more powerful and advanced beings from different dimensions has been looked at and called Gods by the lesser beings. And it depended on the divine ones how they used their knowledge on those...
The Egyptian trio of Gods at that time was the same in the human myths as many before them. With feelings and limits of their abilities and enjoying their physical bodies to the fullest…
The private rooms looked like any palace of the pharaohs. Richly decorated tiled walls and floors. A small waterfall in one corner with blooming flowers. In the middle three steps led up to a huge bed with all the silk pillows and sheets, some fluffy soft animal skins and high tables with drinks and food on them to be close enough to reach.
Thoth was sitting naked on the middle of the bed. Between his spread muscular thighs was Horus, sitting with his back against Thoth’s chest. The long braided hair was cascading down on Horus’ shoulder as the long-haired God has been kissing and licking Horus’ neck, his hands stroking the other man's chest.
The God of the Darkness was lying on his belly between the long lean thighs of Horus and was feasting on his most godly parts with delight…
"Vega..." Thoth looked up as they all sensed the angel appearing in their cave.
"He wanted to learn everything..." Seth smirked up after letting Horus’ hard manhood out of his mouth, stroking it a few times and going back to their planned activities...
Since the deal the curious angel had made with the gods, he's been visiting them a few times, although he tried to do this in the clever way. He went to other non-restricted places too, leaving days or even weeks between his visits.
Needless to say, he could get lost in the vast library of knowledge for days straight during these visits. There were just so many new things to learn. And not just about these gods but the distant past, previous civilizations, the stars, the universe, other dimensions, mythical creatures and even his own kind and Father as the books and scrolls contained such gathered information too.
Vega tried to balance his great hunger for knowledge with picking one main theme for his visits. For example, one visit was about studying history, the other literature, the next arts, the following philosophy and so on. He wanted to cover as much as he could because he could never know how long he would be able to sneak off here.
Either way, at times he didn't even meet the gods during his visits. Other times he chatted with them all or just one or two of them.
That day's topic was music. Vega very much liked music and always found human instruments fascinating. Though after a few hours he usually went for a walk in the cave system with the secret lush inner gardens to contemplate on what he had learned during these sessions.
That evening he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice at first that he has wandered to an unknown part of the caves. There was no one around and he realized that he had wandered off too far when... interesting sounds started penetrating his consciousness.
First he needed a moment to realize what he was hearing, but he had studied and watched humans enough to recognize moans of lust. He knew he should have turned around then, but his curiosity and thirst took the better of him and he wandered closer. He just... wanted to maybe learn what the difference was in the physical love of humans and gods…
By then the trinity was done with some rounds between them. They always enjoyed the liberty to not have to restrain their true powers between each other. And the occasions they had they used well.
The bond between Horus and Seth was strong. Being the entities of light and darkness. Thoth was always too independent but nonetheless he enjoyed and participated in such activities.
They all knew that Vega was peeking on them. The God of Wisdom raised his head up, looking at Seth from the curtain of his braids. "Your prey came closer..." he whispered and his body did not lose rhythm while he was roughly fucking Horus from behind. The other God was on his hands and knees, sucking on Seth's hard dick as he was kneeling by the bald head.
"It has to be his own will…" Seth replied and kept caressing his mate's head as his cock was worked into the godly throat.
The peeking angel's heart was beating fast and he could feel his cheeks being hot from the blood that colored it. So far it was rare for him to blush, but ever since he knew the gods, he did that more often – especially around Seth. There were many things he didn't understand yet about his own needs and body, but now it showed clear signs of what they call arousal.
When observing humans doing these acts, he stayed mostly indifferent. He liked some things they did, but nothing had such an effect on him like watching the three gods freely enjoying each other with his own mouth hanging open.
It was beautiful and much more... intense than when humans did such acts. The harmony in which their bodies and muscles moved, the attention they gave to each other, even the kisses they shared or the pleasure-filled expression on their sweaty faces... And of course all that topped with the swirling and mingling whirlwind of their powers which filled the whole room and made Vega's skin crawl with warmth just as much as the arousal did to it.
Biting down on his bottom lip, he experimentally brushed the back of his hand against the bulge under his tunic and he inhaled sharper. That sobered him up a bit, realizing what he wanted to do and that he was intruding and in the end shied away, blushing in the darkness even more as he hid his face behind his long hair and quietly backed away.
He took deep breaths from the less magic-filled air on the torch-lit corridor and his feet took him away faster with each step. He needed to clear his head and take back control over his body. He wanted to understand and maybe even analyze these new feelings that scene evoked in him.
Something has started to change in him...
