The 20 Flocks

In the far past, angels looked down from Heaven on the world Wayin had created and saw that the daughters of men were beautiful. They said to each other, "Let's go down and take for ourselves wives so that we may have sons." Twenty angels left Heaven, each at the head of a flock of ten like-minded angels. These flocks formed what angelic history calls "the 20 flocks," referring to the original fallen angels.

Summary

Two-hundred angels defected from Heaven just before Noah's Flood. They were lead by Lucifer. They descended to various areas of Earth, many of them centered in what is now the Middle East as this was the location of most humans at the time. They took mates from among human women and started families. The children from these families were the first nephilim and all modern nephilim are said to be related to them by some trace bloodline.

In those days, as the nephilim grew, they proved to be more beautiful and more powerful than their human counterparts. Some of them became leaders of men and other nephilim. Some became conquerors and cruel masters of slaves. For the most part, though, the nephilim were as peaceful as most humans and interested in the same level of power and mastery as their mothers.

When a nephilim-led band began to interfere with the Israelites, God took a stand and stated that all nephilim were evil and to be wiped from the face of the Earth. He sent his archangels down along with a great flood to wipe all life from Earth so he could start anew with just his chosen people. Azrael lead the archangels in this campaign and fought with Lucifer and his followers, killing many of them and driving others into hiding.

Lucifer realized that God was serious about wiping out the nephilim, so he fled with his heartmate, Hera, and their children. One of those children, Nathaniel had also become heartmated to one of the fallen angels, Musiel and so Musiel assisted Lucifer in their flight and the protection of Hera and her children.

By the time the waters had receded from Earth, all but a handful of the original 200 angels had been located and their wings broken so they would drown in the flood with their mates and children. Wayin declared it good and left the archangels to the task of locating any stragglers once the waters were gone.

Spread

Variations on this story exist in human documentation, namely in the first book of Enoch. There are references also in the book of Genesis, though not as detailed an account as Enoch's. Most humans believe it no more than superstition or metaphor. Even most human Biblical scholars discount Enoch as apocryphal.
