THE TOOLSHED
Page 4
This war is a never-ending war my brothers
Hunt next to the other shore
Trying to bend the rules
Don't kill your golden goose.
He who should show if he looks for me
He will get dubbed no more
'They left their land forsaken'
Cried a white crow once.
The machine found the emancipated bum
The law you follow was my discovery
When I resided as an emancipated tree,
That you cut down for your fun.
What you did for mass’s sake was in vain
One who still believes my moots
will never be wafted in my rain.
Make your show worthy or take my show.
The emancipated
The Vasitven to the Kayle
We rise from ashes, live like you till we become orgasms
After death we become energy inside the masses.
Finally we arrive in a forest full of machines and animals,
Trapped inside things we have our best time in decades.
When we leave the forest,
We become free energy particles.
Roaming in the ancient ages as time travellers,
We see again all the three worlds.
We watch how the time finishes,
We meet the god who is in each presence.
And then the cycles finally end.
We and your kind both untangle the dreams we both shared.
Now we pray for a forest devoid of humans and machines,
In one world time had a direction opposite of other world
In third the time was never heard where we were before we breathed.

The Kayle said, “Every Vasitven is a stranger to his Arindharan. Vasitvens are perfect and complete in all possible ways, as when there’s only darkness and no light no one will know that both of these exist similarly you won't know about your Vasitven's existence. For my Vasitven and me time is the most powerful known weapon but what he calls time I call it something else and know it as something else.
Some Arindharans know about the Silent Forest of Dreams from the tales their ancestors had told them. Animals of Silent forest of Dreams will never reveal themselves to Arindharans, they want to keep newborns and infants in doubt, but Shrusim says when all will be revealed Arindharans will laugh. I am in doubt too but not about Arindharans or animals but my master. These animals have powers beyond imagination and whenever they steal the ghostword from me I bring it back somehow, that’s why Arindharans exist till now. I am not in the side of the newborns or animals, the Arindharans live in peace by my intervention. I’ll join one of the three the day when Arindharans do not need me. To find the Ghostword is like finding a key of a locked room which you can neither give to any Arindharan nor make another one but it can be used by the animals of the Silent Forest. Ghostword turns enemies to friends and friends to enemies. The one you love the most will become your enemy in the future.”

The obscure
The Kayle to newborns of Arindhara
Now you are a puppet, then you are a puppeteer
Seems you are enjoying the puppet show
Remember there is a ventriloquist here
And that you don’t know what lies below.
Ghostwording is an art, ghostword is a science
It rhymes a melody none has ever heard
Those who hear the ghostword
For the final battle they are being prepared.
Past has stopped, never is present
Future is running
The flow of time can be altered by Ghostwording.
Only they know the ghostword, who could not define it.
Nobody walks by their will
inside that scorpion shell,
In which legions of ghostwords dwell
Those who memorized the ghostword never played well.
Next brevity
Plant your seed when you are sure
Its flower will bloom in harmony
Fill the parchment as you play a new symphony
Wind will take your message
To the ship that was sent to war
God keeps the crew safe and secure.
Carrying the scars shining on their bronze,
Under the enlightened sky they fight alone.
To give one has to receive from the summer rain
I watched all the water drain
When I found water I ran to end another drought
You don’t remember what you did to them before you were sought
Spending your lives searching for happiness,
You never realized the cause of existence of sadness
Hoping for your destiny, you gave power to money.
The Living Machine
The Kayle to his Vasitven
I am revolving draped in tatters
A friend I need, but not at the cost of another
Drowning in the desert, I sway at the perimeter
I am being dragged away from you
Don’t cry when you find my clues
If you catch me I’ll destroy the machine.
The machine plays with your tears
I’ll teach you to repair its spares
Unlike me, you will be able to sell it to my slayers
The machine decides who takes birth in whose piece
The good ones always receive a better chassis
A calculus tracks what you do with your treasure.
I found out where you hide,
Just after I got my first prize
The machine was built by my mind
Those who don’t pay you a dime,
What they think never try to find
Otherwise you will lose your prime.
When man destroys something unwanted,
The machine measures his advantages.
It sets him off on the battle ground
Telling him, “you are the only captain to be found”
Machines which were deleted from existence,
Became the arrows of this captains quiver
And stand on the bank surrounding the river.
You tread the endless bank of the river
You forgot what you left on the other side of the river
The captain tries to communicate with me
Sometimes he succeeds in commanding me
That’s the time when I destroy his machines
When the captain’s soldiers see their goals shatter,
I call the Valkyries to redeem his soldiers.
Animals fight only after losing their minds
The time sits under a tree and hears your cries
You accept your fate as you failed to avert it
You long for the lowlands you deserted
They lie on the other side of the river
You won’t get any respite,
For once you deserted the captain for a quiver.
The machine multiplies accumulating their kind
I smother you, you sing rhymes
Believe you will return
When the never ending war is won
The illusion would end
We will meet each other
Till then you'll deplete and
I'll gather.
The god without devil
The Kayle to Shrusim
Anger is the only tinker which fills devil’s coffer
Be it intelligence or stupidity, none lasts forever
It seems I soliloquize when I converse with Arizel
She is the one always present near me
Who I cannot see, she wants to set me free.
Droopy trees call me when they are in pain
Sunny skies want to make me their slave
The misled river puts me for sale
When I fall, the three dance in rain
The one who catches me brings their souls back again.
I can help only one of these three nature’s games
For that I spend one lifetime with them
I always get crucified in the world which they think as realistic
What I do only Arizel knows, she saves me when I shed my skin
She is a lore sung in the existent half of silent forest of dreams.
When I lose her I jump from the mountains
Her reflections pore out as blood from my body
Fools understand only the language of religion and money
They never understand the story I keep telling
This story the trees, the skies and the river are listening.
Upon them I shower my grace, they readily accept their fate
Contemplating the devil’s yearnings
I couldn’t find the equal of time
Following the stars was my one and only crime
All that I earn make my past shine.
In a single moment lie a zillion moments
It’s up to you how many you can collect
May be the lion doesn’t know I have the stone
It will bring me near his home
I always carry the skies with me, to mask my bronze.
To save the skies I fought with Arindharan winds
The river is curious when she'll mingle with the Prophesier
She thought she never deserved the celestial water
I slay which you have never seen
And I keep hunting for the ghostwords within.
My enemies know me only after my senescence
What I am doing to them is not for her care,
Love sinks in the devil’s heart as a faltered prayer
The worldly offerings are like blood on my broken bronze
I vowed Ventriloquist won’t ever take the throne.
May be your future and past are certain
And you can do nothing about it in your present
Still if you believe, you can do your will in future,
Destinies are latent but try as much you can
You cannot control them in real.
When I met the animals of the forest
Some of them welcomed me some were at unrest
Lion’s minions gave me a hard time
I heard her voice in my head,
Every time I was assaulted or distressed.
Arizel sent the good animals for my help
Vasitven too appeared to give me short rest
Lion wanted me to forget her and my powers,
So that her voice seem to me as a nightmare
Unaware but somehow I found the Lion’s daunting lair.
Toy World
The Kayle to Arindharans
You are not playing the game
Since you now are the game
You may not trust yourself
But your enemy surely does
He will take only a moment
Life can offer you millions
When you’ll turn back the time
You’ll find your real name
You were left all alone then
Since only you were unflawed
You saw your harvest in flames
You could only save one grain
Moment I prevail in this game
Cheated or aided you find again
I am the rhythm you the rhyme
That’s will of the entity divine
All the lands which were mine
While they stole them from me
I won back your garden in time
Final Fate
Ghostword led me deep inside the Silent Forest
To the Lion's den in the heart of the forest
Inside that dark cave I marched slowly
I felt immense pleasure that ended abruptly
When I came to my senses I remembered everything
About Arizel and all that happened before my slavery
I found myself in a dingy room lying on a bench
I climbed the stairs in front of which rested a statue of a wench
As I moved on I saw a hallway down the alley
I saw many cellar doors, but none carried the numbers I bore
There were writings on the walls, I myself left a mark
I saw light at one end it lead me back to the woods
I heard a voice calling me in that eerie silence
The voice cried, "I am the lion of silent forest of dreams
You are the first Kayle reborn
The ghostword gave you the power of transforming
Combining both good and evil armies,
You escaped my squared planning.
In Arindhara the body matters not the souls
There devil dances like a snake writhing on your songs.
Here, animals and infants take a peaceful stroll
Arizel keeps writing the sacred verses
I altered your destiny using her beauty
Now you are ready for your final duty”.
I shouted, “Where's Arizel?”
“She was the only Kayle left save you
You both are same but she was born here
The elements of Arindhara couldn’t fathom her
You escaped each time, you were aware of my snares
You came out more than twice from my maze
She was with you from the beginning to here.”
Saying this, the Lion ushered her lifeless body
I killed him without holding for an instant,
Arizel appeared beside me in real and held my hand
The sea had now found the sand
Holding the prophesier I realized I was the Lion's scion
I found out, to bury my memorium,
I need to drown the treasure in the secret river
I sunk Prophesier deep down the water
This turned the pure animals into humans
The traitors became irrelevant ones,
They were sent to the toolshed at once
The white animals received the mountains
I got sucked into a labyrinth
The black animals absconded
With the lions hide, to glorify their dreams
They never knew the treasure,
The prophesier also contained memories.
I woke up and found myself in Teargar
Soon I encountered Arizel,
She had brought Prophesier with her
In Arindhara the illusion faded completely
The bodies came back to their senses,
The visions of the forest they saw clearly.
And they cried remembering the crimes,
Being under the spell they committed unintentionally.
> The Lion had dismembered their mind,
To be remembered eternally.
I locked him and his minions
In the toolshed, a galaxy built by me.

The Return
He had no idea where he was, he only remembered that last time he was in silent forest of dreams. It was a big bright city filled with all kinds of people who seemed rich. He realized he had come back to Arindhara again, a place where he was born, his home. Then he heard a voice, the voice was not loud, but could be heard clearly saying something but it was incomprehensible. He observed that after the voice stopped, everyone started moving in one direction. He noticed there were few children who hurriedly rushed in the other direction. These kids were wearing rags and tatters. They stared at him while they passed, but did not say anything to him. He started following the exodus soon he reached in a vast stone garden. Everyone in the city save small children was present there. Then the voice spoke again something and then stopped. Suddenly everybody started looking at him.'
The people captured and chained him near the gallows, he did not know who were these people, what they wanted from him and then the voice came again. He thought, “It seems all of them are following the order of the voice” and just then he remembered everything and just when he understood that the voice was of Ventriloquist, the voice called to him, “So you escaped, I’ll show mercy this time and will give you an instant death.”
Just when they were about to execute him, a lightening roared in the sky. A lady clad in a glaring robe, appeared from nowhere. She was holding the Prophesier. When she raised it, it emitted a white light which bathed everyone and soon they all seemed as if they just awoke from a deep slumber. Now as the spell had been lifted from them, they released the captive. They asked him for forgiveness and begged for the truth.
The possessor of the voice, Ventriloquist and his minions were sent to the Toolshed world.

The Astrologer spoke to the Kayle and Arizel sat quietly as she listened, "According to the legend, Rakhtavar was one of the elder Kayles, present since Sysandria came into existence, the beginning of time. Rakhtavar wanted to be the King of Kayles and rule Sysandria. To prove he was worthy he tried to destroy the statue of the Goddess. The statue didn’t break, but a shiny white stone from her bracelet fell to the ground which Rakhtavar took secretly. He called the stone Prophesier and hid it outside Sysandria in the Silent Forest of Dreams, out of the reach of Kayles. He could trap the soul of any entity in that stone. Rakhtavar started trapping the souls of Kayles who were outside Sysandria. The first Kayle acquired the prophesier from Rakhtavar after a horrific battle which lasted for many day and nights in the Silent Forest. He trapped Rakhtavar inside Prophesier and freed all the other entities those who were locked in that stone. When the first Kayle was about to bring the Prophesier to Sysandria from the Silent Forest he was inside the body of an eagle. The prophesier fell from his grasp and in that instant Rakhtavar somehow escaped. Rakhtavar took the body of a Lion who was resting nearby where the Prophesier dropped. He sent the soul of that lion to Prophesier. Rakhtavar ambushed the first Kayle who had come to retrieve the prophesier. The first Kayle was not ready for the attack, but before Rakhtavar could trap him in the Prophesier he gave up his life. But before dying he locked Rakhtavar's memories in the prophesier and trapped him in the body of the Lion. It took a long time for Rakhtavar to regain his memories and his powers, but he could not come out of the body of the Lion. He proclaimed his supremacy over the entities of the Silent Forest and waited for the return of the first Kayle because only he can free him from the body of the Lion."
