THE MAKING OF THINGS

 

The maker was tired of creation and wanted to really rest, he has expand so much energy creating the world so he feel it was time to rest but before he goes into the eternal sleep, he has one tasks before that time. He used his last energy to create three sons he wished to continues where he stopped.

The first son he named Raji whom he gives the power of creation, to create life to fill the world he has created. And the second son he named Raja whom he gives the power of destruction of all things that is harmful to life and to the world he has created. And the third son he named Ravi whom he gives the power of balance. For Ravi is the balance between creation and destruction and if Ravi is to die, the world created by the maker will be destroyed. And so the maker take his eternal rest after creating sons that will take over from him.

Raji is as gentle and compassionate, he feel the world is empty and need to be filled, so with his power he created human beings. He was pleased to see his first creation and was amaze how they looks beautiful and full of life. He knew they can't live like that and so he created animals and the living plant so the humans can sustain themselves, he was so pleased that he informed his brothers about his new creation. Raja was angry because his desires is to take everything from Raji, but he can do nothing unless Ravi is eliminated. He sulk and whine about it deep down but knows his hands are tied but then a small voice at the back of his mind asked " are you sure your hands are tied"? Raja ignored the voice knowing it is not right.

Ravi loves his two brothers so much and can practically feel them in his mind if he really concentrate, he believes the beings with the brighter light is Raji and the other with darker light is Raja, sometimes he wonder how can their maker think of creating something so dark, knowing it is full of destruction. Ravi was glad to see the creation of Raji and he can't help viewing them from the castle high above the clouds. The castle is made of crystal and it float above the clouds rounding the universe so they can be monitoring the event taking place. One particular day he notice a beautiful lady, one of those created by Raji and can't help wanting to be with her after all Raji have warn them not to interfer or mingle with the human he created, but Ravi was beyond reality and he went down on earth to woo this beautiful lady he later impregnate and gift his unborn son ninety five percent of his power. "You must name him Rama". Alice laugh it off not wanting to listen.

Please my lady do as I say.

What does it matter, you will always be there for him.

It matters that you name him so, I fear something may happen to me.

My father is the king, nothing will happen to you.

Ravi smile and hold her hands, "it is not your father I'm afraid of, but my brothers.

Okay, I will name him as you wished.

Ravi was happy knowing he store the power in the name, if his some is given the name at birth he will inherit the power of balance.

Raja couldn't ignored the constant yapping of the voice in his head, it keep buzzing around no matter what he does. "What is this in my head he exclaimed!

I can give you power to create life too, the voice coo, just follow my instructions.

Let me be, I'm not meant to create but to destroyed.

Lies, you can create life too.

Really ?

Yes, all you need is a few drop of Raji blood, a lot the better the voice smile with malice.

Nothing can penetrate our skin.

That you are wrong again, follow my instructions and you will have what you wanted.

Which is?

Ha Raja don't play with me, I know your mind and your heart desires.

So what do you want me to do?

Get Raji blood and we will start from there. And with that he gives him a knife made of crystals, but this one is dark unlike the clear and translucent one used in their castle. Even touching the knife send a tingling sensation and he had to wrapped it with his cloak. "Never touch that with your bare hand for long or there will be consequences the voice instruct him. First you get Raji blood and then you bring me two of those humans he created, a male and a female and then we will start your creation.

Why blood? And why the humans?

A life for a life that is how it has been before the beginning of time and so it shall be to the ending of time.

And so Raja take a bottle of wine to Raji which he has already put a sleeping drought on it. "Raji look what I found from the humans you created, I heard them say this vintage is the best to ever grace the earth, give it a try let me hear your thoughts about it?

Raja! So you have visit the humans? I asked you and Ravi to let them be, we need to never caused anything to influence their lives.

Oh calm down told you I heard them talking about this vintage so I guess I got intrigued and want to taste it too, which I did. I was hoping you can appreciate their development by having a taste of their production and you are here saying trash, get of your high horse and be a father to all. And with that Raja dump the bottle on Raji table and left.

Raji was shocked by Raja behavior and he thought it has merits after all he created the humans and need to keep eyes on them and their development and so he went to the bottle and give it a try, he was amazed at the taste and believe it was as great as Raja had said. Unknown to him Raja was watching him from a hideout and he smiles knowing the first of his plan have worked all he had to do now is to wait for Raji to sleep off, but he has a doubt, will it worked on him? Since they have power beyond anything in the known world, will the poison worked ?

Calm down it will work, but you have just five minute before it wear off said the voice in his head.

How do you get into my head that I can hear you?

Now is not the time, go to him he is done.

Raja turned to look at Raji and was surprised to see him laying down and so he hurry to him with the knife and with that he cut a thin line in his wrist and collect the blood from a glass jar he conjor and in no time he see the wound healing and was surprised until the voice in his head shout" now get out of here quickly before he wake up, he will be confused and thinks the wine was too strong.

As Raja retreated to his dark domain, fueled by the twisted whispers in his mind, he began his dark experimentations. Using the blood of Raji, he forged his creations, infusing them with malice and chaos. From the depths of his corrupted imagination, he birthed demons and beasts of hideous visage, each more monstrous than the last.

Meanwhile, Ravi, sensing the disturbance in the balance, sought out his brothers. He found Raji, still groggy from the effects of the poisoned wine, but unharmed. Concern etched his features as he realized Raja's treachery.

"What has Raja done, brother?" Ravi's voice carried a weight of sorrow and anger.

Raji recounted the events, his brow furrowed with worry. "He took my blood, Ravi. I fear what he intends to do with it."

Ravi's resolve hardened. "We must stop him before it's too late."

Together, they set out to confront Raja, unaware of the depths of his depravity. In the dark recesses of his lair, Raja reveled in his newfound power, commanding his monstrous creations with a cruel grin.

"You thought you could thwart me, brothers?" Raja's voice echoed with madness as he faced them, his eyes alight with dark intent.

Ravi's gaze never wavered. "You've forsaken your duty, Raja. You've upset the delicate balance of our world."

Raja scoffed, his laughter echoing off the cavern walls. "Balance? What need have I for balance when I hold the power to reshape reality itself?"

With a wave of his hand, Raja unleashed his demonic horde upon them, their twisted forms lunging forward with feral hunger. Ravi and Raji fought bravely, their powers melding in harmony against the onslaught.

But in the chaos of battle, Raja's treachery knew no bounds. With a cowardly strike, he plunged his dark crystal knife into Ravi's heart, a look of betrayal etched on his face.

Raji's cry of anguish pierced the air as he cradled his fallen brother. "Ravi... no!"

But even in his dying breath, Ravi whispered words of hope. "My son... Rama... he holds the key to balance..."

Raja, drunk with power, scoffed at their grief. "Your precious balance dies with him, brother."

But Ravi's final revelation sparked a glimmer of hope in Raji's heart. With renewed determination, he vowed to protect Rama at all costs.

And so, as Ravi's life faded into the void, Raji and Rama were left to carry the weight of the world's balance upon their shoulders.

In the aftermath of the battle, Raji banished Raja to the depths of hell, where he would forever be known as the first devil, cursed to dwell in darkness for eternity.

And thus, the tale of the three sons of the Maker came to a tragic conclusion, but their legacy would live on through Rama, the beacon of balance in a world torn between creation and destruction.

THE PLAN

 This is not supposed to happen now, I have so many plans to make and so many things to do before all this nonsense, Julliet fumes. How could this man not wait and let me know he was going to do the deeds while I was at the office?, how could he just act like that without even letting me know now I came home to see this mess oh no Donald has finished me! What do I do with this dead body now in my sitting room she feels betrayed after all they had a plan that they had scheduled to stick to, why would Donald renegade on the plan? Why would he even carry out such an act without informing me there is any change? She brought out her phone and dialed Donald's number, she was furious. He answered on the second ring " HellJulietet what is the matter, I'm having a hard time now is not a good time to call Donald to explain.

How dare you tell me that Donald after what you just did.

Calm down.

I should calm down. After the mess you caused in my house, she shouted.

Stop shouting at me Julliet, it seems you are forgetting who you are talking with, how dare you shout at me, this will be the last time you raise your voice or else.

But how could you betray me in such a way? Why not let me into the plans if it has been changed?

Shut up!

But. He interrupted her" Just shut up you fool, you don't go on the phone yapping about things like that, how dare you try to ruin me.

I don't understand, how can I ruin you when you just did the same to me?

Oh Lord, how do I get into partnership with such a fool? Donald question. I have always been a good manager, how do I even meet this woman?

You know I can hear you, Don?

So what? Are you going to sing the plans to the whole world?

No.

And you you are here yapping your mouthJuliett?

But how can you do it like that without my knowledge?

What are you even talking about Juliet? What did I even do?

Well, you know how we plan to kill my boyfriend so we can run away with his wealth?

Of course, I do.

No! It seems you don't know and seem like you don't care about going through the plans.

Why would you think so?

Well, I just came home from work and Diddy is dead on the floor with blood everywhere, now you can see why I'm angry because we planned to kill him and not like this, so why did you do it without my knowledge?

Donald laughed hard and long over the phone, and Julliet was getting angrier while listening to his laugh. " What is so funny Don?

Well, you must be joking because I haven't been to that side of town for two months now, in fact, I'm out of town as we are talking so if you think I did anything you are solely mistaken unless you are missing me and want me to come and you that orgasms you so crave about huh.

So if you didn't kill him who does? Then she heard someone clapping behind her and she turned to see Diddy standing and clapping, she was stunned at the same time she lost what Donald was saying to her as the phone fell her hands 

So what am I hearing from you Julliet? Are you for really or we are in Hollywood shooting a movie scene?

I'm sorry Diddy, you wouldn't understand, it was just talk I ..Diddy interrupted the interrupted wave of his hands. " Never mind Julliet you planning to have me killed so you can take my property wow.

I'm sorry.

Diddy laughed hard, wow so you are sorry about having me killed and stealing from me with no remorse wow Jully.

I was just on my own trying to find a way to see your reaction if I pretend to be dead, I want to see how you love me and what you will do seeing me laying there with blood all over me. So I went to the butcher and asked for a pint of blood from him after I told him the plans which he was kind enough to give me and then I came back home to do the pretense of being dead hoping to see a grief strstrickenaction from you, but I was solely and utterly disappointed, not only to see you come in and do nothing but to hear you calling your boyfriend and demanding if he had killed me without your knowledge before your agreement oh Juliet! But why? Why this after all I have done for you and your family, after all the sacrifices I have made to see that you and your family are comfortable, but why? SPEAK UP HE SHOUTED. She cried and started crying." I'm sorry I never loved you and I have always been in love with Donald, but he is poor and can't give me the life I always wanted and I thought I could get it from you.

Diddy laughed hard again, truly you are a foolish woman, how will you manage to even think you can steal from me, how much or what will you take from here? See this house and everything within aren't even mine, these are all my elder property and I was just looking after it for him since he is based abroad with his family and comes once a year.

What! She exclaimed, you mean all these aren't yours?

Of course not, my brother keeps a monthly payment for the maintenance of his property, and that is why I can live a good life. The worst part is that your parents and siblings are in the other room and everything we have said here they have heard it.

Julliet was shocked and she ran to the transom and found her mother weeping and her dad in a chair just sitting there and nodding his head and muttering an unintelligible word, she fell on her kneels crying and calling to them but no one listened to her, she keeps crying and then her younger brother who is just ten years came to her, she looks up hoping to see forgiveness in his eyes but was shocked to see the anger there." Big sister, I'm ashamed of you and your greediness, uncle Diddy has been kind to me with the little money he has, yet he pays my school fees and buys me clothes, before we came here to see this, Daddy was saying he has also paid our rent courtesy of uncle Diddy and yet this is how you pay him back when he is about to propose to you? You claim to love Donald, that fool of aam who try to rape Melissa if not for the intervention of our neighbor Uncle Peter. I hate you. And he went back to his mum.

Diddy came in and turned to Mr Burna, Julliet's father, I'm sorry sir it didn't work out as planned.

My son you are a good man, please forgive me, for I'm to be blamed for my daughter's behavior, it shows I failed as a father, murder that was what she was planning oh no I'm dead.

Please don't say so, you aren't to be blamed, sir you have a good heart and you are a kind and generous man don't ever blame yourself for the action of a jezebel. Mrs Burna turned to Mr Diddy" How can you say so after all you have done for us and yet this betrayal, murder! 

Please calm down.

Juliet turned to them, I'm sorry please forgive me, it was the devil.

Yeah, and his name is Donald her younger brother pipes in, only if you can go and meet him now it will be best for all.

Yes that is true, you can pack your stuff and get out of my house Diddy told her beside me and Melissa have agreed to marry, she has always suspected you and was kind enough to suggest this surprise. Mr Burna looked to his wife and they both smiled and turned to Mr Diddy "Yes we will accept.

And with that,t they all went out leaving Julliet to cry more and beg which no one listened to to her, she hurried out and picked up her phone and dialed Donald's number and he answered after the third ring." What is it?

Donald, I'm in a mess I need you to please come back to me.

Sorry Jully I'm busy and can't, besides I'm at my wedding which is about to start, don't call me again please and he cut the call. Julliet was shocked and kept shouting but no words could describe what she was screaming about, she left Me Diddy house feeling as if the world was pressing on her and she couldn't breathe, while walking aimlessly she was thinking about how to take her revenge when she was knocked by a hit and run driver and unfortunately for her spinal cord was crutched which keep her on a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
