Where it Began: The Circle of Refiam [A Play About Giants: Act 1: Scene 1 & 2]
“There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after…and they bare children…the same became mighty men…men of renown.” Gen. 6:4 [The Nephilm/giants of those days.]
“It shall be exactly as it was in the days before Noah” Matt. 24:38; Luke 17:27
Twilight just appeared over the city of Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights, of Israel (prior to the 1967 war, the Golan Heights belong to Syria). The Circle of Refiam (diameter 159-meters; an archeological site) is in front of two beings, mostly shadows to any observers that might be around; the monument they are standing in front of is 5200-years old, called ‘The Circle of Refaim’. Horrep is an old soldier descendant of Og (the Giant king: King Of Bashan)) Deuteronomy 3)); whom was one of the sacred watchers over earth. His kind were killed off many years ago, and built this circle of stones 37,000 tones of stones, in a number circle-ruins; there are two openings, to this site–and in the center toped by a tumulus [mound] 20-meters across; this ancient ruin is one of the lost great wonders of the world. It was in the days before the flood and then there after, when his kind (Horrep: giants of old) escaped earth, and those who stayed behind, were killed by King David almost completely killed off, they said they’d return: they have now, and they seem to look similar to aliens, over 13-feet tall.
Curse all the generals that I was not a king, or the leader way back when, where it all began.
You notice! There is no suiting Israel, we must all wear the sword; He now has the power of many.
And how shall I pay in silver, gold, euros or dollars? For this war we, and the rest of us are going to start, we are who we are, but in this world, money is power! Not just supernatural abruptness.
And who shall guard the indulgence of our army?
I shall rob the city blind, then the country, then, and the world.
I’ve had worse jobs, being a corrupt leader has its advantages; I realize time will prove me the slayer of many, but I will be dead in hell, with the rest of my kind! Even if Roe doesn’t think so, we are all domed.
Yes, you are probably right, so give me the night with all I dream, a song, and wine, a dancing-girl before we start our havoc.
(Horrep, older than the Raphaim Circle, lies down; enfolded in his hide, on the earthwork (near the fortification: by one of the two entrances; and in a minute is asleep)
Sleep, well my beastly friend: we will need it. Violence has come back to thy face! Gone long, and now thou’rt like a child who wants revenge on his father’s garden. How deep anger dips us in its swamp! I was made of you…I have seen only what you have told me…but who come hereunto?
(Enters Adgo, a girl from a nearby village)
What is your skill, do you buy and sell?
I give, I do not buy or sell, and I provide what you desire.
Aha, a dream-wish I asked Horrep for! You are early.
My last task went quickly.
Plenty of everything; I see your father is sleeping?
He says the world is flaccid, feeble, weak, devoid of blood, and cares not of animals, so with his power he will change the minds of man, for they are dead inhabitants, we are giant ghosts from the netherworld, so all may believe, or will believe? David killed many off in is day my father told me. We have come back to reclaim our birthright, here at this stone structure, where once we were called Titans, or giants of the Nephilm race. King Og was my father’s father. He ruled from Mount Hermon…and beyond (and lived at Ashtarot, a Canaanite city). King David’s nephew also killed many of my father’s offspring, Johathan; they were the ones who built this circle you know, a time before Noah’s boat. Og hid in Noah’s boat, and had many children by is daughters, my father was one, so he says; he was, Og, one of the ones who fell from heaven.
I smell your flesh it is sweet.
I’m in no hurry I will be yours.
My father is an evildoer.
I have nothing to fear, I have brought myself to you as he asked!
My father is waiting for the rest of his kind, our kind, I fear they will split your appealing head, open your cloak and do you harm! But now I want, I want to see why man and beast and even us adore your kind–so open your cloak for me.
(Enter Xaro, a rich old Arab mercantile)
And who are you? Your business please?
I followed a light that descended a few hours ago, and here you are, I dare ask, who are you? Are you an alien? A demigod of old? Are you not far from home?
Far from home, my father lies sleeping there, this woman is mine, and you ask me as if you are my sire (?)
No, we fight Israel, and you are on land that Israel took, and then King David was a Jew, and so have… you come to help us? Your maiden seems well favored.
She is, but of humble birth, like you. It is late and you should have a guard to venture forth as you do with us.
We have prayed for great soldiers to help us defeat the Zionist!
It is as my father says: all in time see that you take care of your own, as we shall.
Come lay with me, among the great monument my ancestors built so long ago.
Yes, yes, I know now, you are the Sidonians, also called Sirion, the giants of old.
(Exert a pull on Adgo’s hand, as Xaro is left alone, Noge goes into the circle)) the Gilgal Refaim; parts of it look like an ancient burial monument, with many dolmens [tombs], and an astronomical complex: the stranger paces about looking at Horrep sleeping, and listening to Noge and Adgo make love, then after an hour you hear them talking)
One more day, and the mystery of us, our presence will befall the earth, they will think we are aliens, angelic beings come here to set things right with the world, but we are the wind, the colder wind, the black sunrise, the unblessed, with unwilling hearts.
(Xaro, kicks Horrep with the tip of his foot, and watches him stir)
(Wakes up, rising, sees Xaro)
A bug! Why do you wake me? (Pointing his large fist at Xaro)
I saw your light, and I saw the darkness in the eyes of your son, who is making love to Adgo, behind the walls of the Great Circle. Yes, here the two come…they hold hands. They seem to walk on air; perhaps your son has had his fill of lovemaking and knows now the pleasures of a woman.
My kind will come in the morning to these gates of the circle. Go tell your kind we have arrived before I get up and stomp on you.
(Horrep is getting up, singing a song)
Song of Absence
[Dedicated to the: Raphiam Giants]
‘T was far absent, ‘t was far missing,
Untamed aloft in a night long past!
‘T is but a few hours left to pass,
You then will see thy face by day.
‘T was long-ago, ‘t was long past,
We ruled thee during your untied era.
Our kind found your lot, fond and fair
Until they made us: foe and prey.
Long ago, ever since, we took our bliss
In dreams to come back, and embrace
The world and its dirty face,
Somehow we cannot forget thy kiss.
Now be gone Arab before I eat you…!
At the South East Gate, of this megalithic site, two hundred of these giant demigods stand, as if to guard the site, Roe, the Captain, or leader stands with Horrep and his son Noge, and Adgo is behind them, she’s naked; Opal (one of Lucifer’s henchmen), from the gates of Hell, opens the new gates to the Gilgal Refaim Circle. The gates are opened.
The hinges on the gates make a groaning sound, like the bones in our old but now, new bodies, as ghostly they were; now back into the flesh they are, stiff and with light.
Here come some soldiers with that old man, Xaro.
She’s naked! (And then look at the many giants shinning bright)
The Shinning One’s of Old?
(An Arab General speaks to Xaro)
My thanks for this spectacle; you may go now if you wish!
Be quiet, stand back, or I shall burn your eyes out!
I do not know them, haters of Israel I think.
Who are you, are you all mad (the soldiers hands on weapons)) rifles, guns))
(Roe’s gaze is of a blue, red-hot light, several of the General’s soldiers look at him, and their eyes turn to crust, as if looking directly into the sun. Two Giants laugh, standing in the background: they say not a distinguishable word, watch Roe and the General)
(Noge looks at the girl’s nude body)
(She is unashamed, and picks up a flower behind her, and covers herself. The soldiers and the giants become restless, as the General is stunned at what took place, and now rifles are pointed at the giants)
Who are you? We would like your help with Israel?
We are all Angelic gods, superhuman (he takes the Generals pistol from his hip and points it at him, and fires: the bullet stops in midair as his eyes has focused on it, and slowed it down)
Witless you are, this bullet…why did you come here? (The bullet still in midair; he then looks at the girl:)
Such allure. (The bullet has now speeded up, and killed the general as he had turned his head, and the soldiers have started shooting at the giants)
Nay –should I hide from your weapons? Kneel and worship me or die! I shall no longer hide like we did so long ago.
(They do as kneel down before him, as Noge puts the generals jacket on Adgo. Cloaks her)
If I do not conceal your beauty from their gaze, what am I to do.
(She is silent; Roe is now looking at her)
Shall the gods take her Noge?
(They, the giants of old, were all now speaking among themselves in an alien tongue, yet she seemed to know what was going on)
Say something to me, so I can hear your voice, Adgo, for you have spoke to my subordinate. What say she? Off with the jacket!
(Noge took the jacket off the girl, she is froze with fear and cannot say a word now)
Make her dance before us! Give us the girl Roe, that we may make love to her!!
See Adgo, what you have done to my host, they have not had flesh in 4000-years, you will pay for this: take her away Noge, and give her to them all. And you, merchant, go with these soldiers and tell the world we are here and how you worshiped me. Then Noge, kill the slut, once the crave is gone from all my Nephilm.
Here is our home, fall in around her.
(Noge now takes the girl back aground the gates of the Circle, as the soldiers followed the merchant away from the site.
