Thanks Prince, said Ejeeth.
Oh!! Wow gigantic coffin box, I think the Prince’s body must be inside this, said Royston.
Yes, here are the star carvings. Could we open the eoffine box now, asked Ejeeth.
No!! Not now, let the eclipse end. If we open it now, the Prince’s body will get affected, let him remain inside, said lord Royston.
That’s right!!! Lord, tomorrow by this time, we will be in the middle of war, take some rest, said Ejeeth.
Hmm!! I have a doubt. Now we are at Fefia!! What would Tyrant’s family be doing now??? asked Royston.
A while ago before the start of the eclipse, at Evila,
The eclipse was about to appear all over in Vathura. On one side Royston and Ejeeth were traveling to the underground chamber at Fefia, and on the other hand, Ameer, Manav, and Leonce were discussing the war plans in Armania. Amidst these events, a dreadful event which would decide the fate of all is going to take place in Evila.
The transition of the red planet Kasumbia was considered being a catastrophic day in Empyrea but that did not seem to deter the Tyrant family. In fact, they were ready to meet Kasumbia with their dark prayers.
An area in Evila was decorated as a large triangle shaped border with firing flames. Each edge of the triangle has a wooden throne. At the base were three water tubs filled with pure water. On one side of the triangle, there were three cages which imprisoned the fastest Velox, indomitable Gorilla and a 16feet Ebra snake. Near the cages were some musical instruments like conch, drums, bone flutes, and Naga serpenter.
Inside the cave in Evila mountain,
Father!! I have arranged everything required for our prayers. As instructed, the flaming triangle is ready and Pitheceus has caged the virgin creatures near the triangle, said Lord Kraity.
Virgin creatures!!! The dark lord always liked to taste pureblood, said Lord Tyrant.
But Father!!! I have a quick question though. Is this prayer really required before the war, my blood is boiling to slaughter the heads of those Empyreans and to rip them apart, said Lord Pitheceus.
Before the war or after the war, doesn’t matter!! We need to respect our Dark Lord during this transition. When the red planet Kasumbia transits over our planet Vathura, we need to satiate our dark lord with pure virgin red blood, after that he will bless us with immortal life, said Lord Tyrant.
Father!! You still didn’t answer the question, we would have waged war by morning and by this time we would have been singing our victory song, quarreled Lord Kraity.
Oh, my dear, we shouldn’t underestimate our enemies on any circumstances. This praying will benefit us in the future and this will turn us into one among the dark lords, then we will enjoy immortal life. The reason why I am hiding some things from you both is to surprise you after the sunset on the new moon day, said Lord Tyrant and took them to the flaming triangle.
Finally, the time was here, the eclipse will start in a few minutes, call the people!! “Let’s start the prayer”, said Lord Tyrant fiercely by standing outside the flaming triangle.
Soon a Naga, Dinomen and a vathroo, came towards them and took them near to the water tubs. The trio lords were standing with their people next to each tub. Lord Pitheceus stood with his vathroo at the 1st water tub, Lord Kraity with her Naga stood near the 2nd water tub, and Lord Tyrant with his Dinomen at the 3rd tub.
People started to undress their lords, bathed them in the water tub and then applied the dark powder all over their body. They also drew worshipping symbols on their forehead, arms, and chests. The worshiping symbol was the flaming triangle itself. After the bath the people dressed them like dark lords and made them sit on the wooden thrones.
The eclipse began to appear and island Evila dazzled in red. The eclipse is not only known for its red light but also known to pause the powers of the scepters. At this time the power of the scepter was null. Therefore the creatures that were caged near the flaming triangle turned aggressive. The Gorilla was the most aggressive and started breaking the cage and the people also turned against one another and attacked the lords.
When a Naga tried to attack Lord Tyrant, he raised his right leg and kicked the chest of the Naga and hurled the dark powder on its face. The Naga fell to the ground intoxicated. Seeing this, the Dinomen and vathroo rushed to attack lord Tyrant, he sprinkled the dark powder on them as well and even at the creatures in the cage. With this, the aggressiveness ceased and soon the people and the creatures woke up. When the people came toward the trio lords, Kraity was shocked to see them as their pupils had disappeared and their eyes looked like hollow nuts.
Start the prayers!!! Play the music, ordered Lord Tyrant to the people.
Naga took a serpenter and started playing it. The serpenter is the bass wind instrument made by the Nagas to play during worship. It is a long cone bent into a snakelike shape, it usually has six holes, which are placed in two groups of three.
The music of Naga serpenter created a vibration in the body of Lord Kraity. It started from her eyes, she made some creepy movements between her eyes and eyebrows. As the music grew, a current passed all over Lord Kraity, and she stood from the throne and entered the flaming triangle as the dreaded snake lord. She was dark as death, gaunt with sunken eyes, gaping mouth with a snake tongue and long disheveled hair covered her body.
With the music of serpenter, Lord Kraity started dancing at the center of the flaming triangle. She held out her two hands together to look like the hood of an Ebra (cobra) and started simulating the snake movements like writhing, creeping and making quick biting movements with her head and hands in her dance. Her shadow was no longer the same as her but reflected that of a fierce dancing snake.
In the middle of her dance, a vathroo standing near the cage took the Ebra snake out of the cage and threw it on Lord Kraity. She caught the snake and wore it on her neck, it coiled over her body. As the music continued intensely, Lord Kraity was dancing with one leg up and with her two hands holding the long tail of the Ebra.
The locks of her hair stood out in many strands as she whirled around in her dancing frenzy. Lord Kraity with her snake movements used up the entire space of the flaming triangle. The red with black dotted Ebra started to wrap itself around her feet.
Lord Kraity went near the bathtub and started dancing with her head tilted back looking up. When her legs were spread open in a diamond shape, the Ebra crept on her abdomen. She caught it at its neck and bit the Ebra ripping it into pieces all this while the Naga was blowing the serpenter intensely. Then she threw Ebra into the water tub. Lord Kraity in the dazzling eclipse light along with the blood of Ebra all over her mouth looked like a red beast.
After all this bloody show, Lord Kraity went back to her throne and sat like a fiend. With that, the Naga stopped playing. The very next second, vathroo blew the conch and Lord Pitheceus jumped out of his throne and started his dance of antagonism.
Lord Pitheceus was stout but strong with a very masculine countenance. His dreadlocked hair spread wide, he was dancing with an array of weapons with his right arm crossed over in front of his body, with the wrist limp and the fingers pointed downward towards the uplifted foot. Lord Kraity’s face wasn’t tranquil, but passive with a slight smile while watching her brother dance.
The vathroo started playing the bone flute along with the conch which gave a melodious music. Lord Pitheceus performed a posture with his left leg lifted over his head in the dance of antagonism. His shadow reflected the vigorous dancing gorilla.
A Dinomen near to the cage released the furious gorilla, and with that, it lunged on lord Pitheceus to hit him at his forehead. Lord Pitheceus spun in his dance move and kicked the ape, it jumped back and faced him in the flaming triangle, it tried pushing, grappling, and lifting lord Pitheceus, but he was so strong. Lord Pitheceus with his two hands lifted the 8feet ape and started spinning him around. When the vathroo turned the music to bone flute from conch, lord Pitheceus threw the ape to its feet and broke its spine on his knees. W
ithout stopping his dance he jumped onto the ape’s body and continued to dance on it. Lord Pitheceus raised his right hand in protective symbolization and pointed his left hand towards the uplifted left foot. He slammed the neck of the ape with his right hand. When the ape stopped breathing, Lord Pitheceus ended his dance with a unique pose with his arms outstretched. Lifted the body of the ape, threw it into his bathtub vigorously and returned to his throne.
The Vathroo stopped blowing the conch, and the Dinomen started to play the drums harder, it was Lord Tyrant’s turn to join in this dancing frenzy.
Lord Tyrant was stunning!! He had a powerful form of demon dance with one arm held over his head and the other holding a bowl of fire. His face was handsome, his chest and legs were bare exposing his muscular chest and defined legs. His dreadlocked hair was wildly flailing around his head because of the extreme force of his dance of destruction.
Demon dance was the source of the cycle of creation, preservation, and dissolution. His dance depicted his violent nature, first as the creator of the deadly dinosaurs and later as the destroyer of the universe. His shadow was much more dreadful than his kids because it's wasn’t just one, it kept on changing like a Quetzalcoatlus, tyrannosaurus, Triceratop, velox, and Spinosaurus.
The vathroo near the cage released the fastest Velox into the flaming triangle. Velox was known for its speed but it was afraid of the fire and had been wandering everywhere inside the flaming triangle to get out.
Lord Tyrant, on the other hand, was destroying all morality with his demon dance. The Dinomen started playing the drums harder. Lord Tyrant pulled the tail of the velox and spun it. Finally, Lord Tyrant placed his foot on its neck and took the breath out of its body breaking its neck.
After throwing the Velox in his bathtub, Lord Tyrant continued dancing with full vigor, his matted hair unfurling in all the eight directions and Evila started reverberating to his steps. Lord Kraity and Lord Pitheceus joined their father in his demon dance.
The fierce music started once again when the Naga, Dinomen, and vathroo started playing the music together, the music of serpenter, drums, bone flute, and conch gave the music in an aggressive touch. Lord Tyrant, Lord Pitheceus, and Lord Kraity were dancing like demons with vigorous movements. Lord Kraity once again held her two hands together like a hood and started simulating the snake movements and made quick, biting movements. Lord Pitheceus was aggressive and you could hear the ground quake because of his fierce dance. But, they both were not equivalent to her father who performed his demonic dance to destroy the universe, his matted hair unfurling in all the directions.
While they danced with fury, their shadows trailed behind them overlapping one another. For a minute, without any reverence for the Lords dance, they seemed to fight among themselves but later on, the diabolical beast appeared. What can we name a gorilla with huge wings of Quetzalcoatlus and a serpent lower body with the snake tail, it was the deadliest beast.
As the Lords danced, they approached the musicians.
Lord Kraity went near the Naga, danced like a snake and wrapped herself around him, grasped the musical serpenter from his hands and stabbed the sharp blowing point into the throat of the Naga and took the life out of him by drowning him in her bathtub.
Next, lord Pitheceus jumped on a vathroo and sat on his shoulders, started thrusting his hands into the vathroos mouth and tore it and finally gave a rotating strike to his head and threw him into his bathtub.
If these two lords were bloody in their murder, their father Lord Tyrant beat them hands down. He made a gesture like sitting on a throne in the middle of the flaming triangle, placed the body of the Dinomen on his thighs, and pierced his nails into the body of the Dinomen and broke open his stomach. The Dinomen was killed on the spot in a moment and dropped into the bathtub of Lord Tyrant Seth. Lord Tyrant was furious and roaring. He never seemed to be pacified.
(Red planet kasumbia, fully covered the sun as a red disk)
When the red light fell on the deadliest beast, the serpent lower body gorilla took off his flight towards the eclipse with its wings and merged in the dazzling red light.
At last, the dance of the demons came to an end. Lord Pitheceus and lord Kraity kneeled before lord Tyrant.
Lord Tyrant with his scepter’s blade tore open the bodies of Lord Kraity & Lord Pitheceus to take out an organ and with that, they both started to suffer in pain. He took the organ out and dropped it in their respective bathtubs, later he tore his own body and took the organ out and dropped it in his bathtub.
The trio lords kneeled facing the red planet Kasumbia and prayed.
"Death is but the doorway to new life. We live today, we shall live again. In many forms shall we return", the trio prayed to the dark lord.
Soon the organ started to suck all the blood in the bathtub and merged into the bodies of people and creatures. Observing this the fierceness among the lords reduced and flames of the flaming triangle extinguished.
(Full Red planet kasumbia started moving away from the sun)
After sometime,
We gave something of value to the dark lord and successfully executed our prayers within the eclipse time but you people don’t get all lethargic, we need to win this war. Only when we win this war, we will be able to rule the entire galaxy with our powers. And, I need that throne, that’s mine. I will conquer the entire universe, and by tomorrow I will make the empyreans bow down before me, said Lord Tyrant Seth.
Our prayers with the dark lord won’t fail, surely he will bless us with the dark powers, which would be enough for us to make the entire universe worship us, said Lord Pitheceus.
Father!! When will our dark warriors come to us, asked Lord Kraity.
Oh, my kid!! They should have been serving us by this time but there has been some hiccup. I think someone out there is trying to disrupt all of our plans trying to help them, said Lord Tyrant.
What!! This is not the reason why we left those humans to save themselves. I would have killed that one-handed freak once I got my power, but because of your plan I didn’t, you said they will be leading us to conquer Emrath, now who is going to do that, asked Lord Pitheceus.
Watch what you say, you have no idea what shall come to pass, raged Lord Tyrant.
You are always sweet only with your daughter. I am leaving to Sorgamia, said Lord Pitheceus and started.
Father!! Pitheceus is right if we had killed them that would have been a proper punishment for them for taking our powers. And, now that they are alive and normal as humans, tomorrow’s battle won’t be easy for us, said Lord Kraity.
Yes, they may delay us in conquering the throne but that should not deter us. Tomorrow at sunrise we need to be ready to conquer Armania, said Lord Tyrant.
Sure!! We will make the Armania bathe in blood and by tomorrow that Leonce would be dead by my scepter blade, said Lord Kraity.
The day after tomorrow on a new moon night we will be refurnished with our new powers of the dark lord. In order for this to come true, we need to conquer the entire Empyrea first and lead the army of dark warriors along with the army of Empyrea to conquer Emrath, said Lord Tyrant.
Father!!! Speaking about the dark warriors, where is our brave and young warrior demontus, after last night, I haven’t seen it. I guess it would have died in the hands of the empyreans, said Lord Kraity.
No way kid, the dark warriors won’t die until the master gives the death order, it must be bleeding somewhere around in Empyrea, it will come to us, said Lord Tyrant.
Ok father, let me head towards Nagamalya. If I delay, the creatures and the people will start attacking themselves and that will reduce our army strength, said Lord Kraity.
Fine dear but be cautious. Until the full eclipse ends, we don’t have any power and remember we are still like any other ordinary people in fact just like the other Empyreans, advised Lord Tyrant.
You should have warned Pitheceus too about this but anyway take care father, said Lord Kraity and left to Nagamalya.
