Till Death Do Us Part
{A dialogue between the Universal Creator and a Kingmaker}
"O Maker of Kings, the Sun has not yet completed its duties for the day. Yet you stand before me with such determination and confidence.
O Maker of Kings, Twilight's faithful subjects are not ready to welcome its Master of Darkness. Yet you stand before me with a final decision.
O Maker of Kings, enlighten me. Which child of mine has robbed you of your soul that you so willingly sacrifice?”
"O Great Oneness, it is Desire", I whispered.
“O Maker of Kings, known for your compassion and generosity have you truly lost your mind and senses?
O Maker of Kings, known for your empathy and spirituality have we truly misjudged your wisdom?
Do you realise what you are asking for?
Of all my children, Desire is not to be trusted. She represents all the vices and sins you were warned never to commit by your Elders.
The fondness and love you will develop towards Desire will be nothing more than an addiction.
Love her not and she might let you go. But love her more and she will own your soul. “
"O Great Oneness I have made up my mind. It is only Desire whose hand I seek in marriage.."
“O Maker of Kings, perhaps you were too hasty in your decision. Allow me to grant you more time. After all time is of the essence. Time is all we know of.
O Maker of Kings choose but choose wisely this time. But be warned once your lips have spoken there is no turning back.
Not even the Universe and all the goodness it has bestowed upon you is allowed to turn back time.”
“O Great Oneness, Time is my biggest enemy for it continuously mocks me and reminds me of what I have lost.
“O Great Oneness this is my final decision. It is only Desire who will be able to help me wage a war against Time."
“O Maker of Kings, then so be it. To wed my child Desire, the dowry you will pay for her hand will be your soul. Are you so willing to sacrifice your soul?”
“O Great Oneness, witness these tears of mine that overflows like the Ganges River.
O Great Oneness, the soul that you seek as a dowry payment is not mine to give.
O Great Oneness the soul that resides within this body does not belong to me.
O Great Oneness, how heartlessly you have forgotten the day you robbed me and my kingdom the rarest gem of all, my Soulmate.
O Great Oneness, how callously you have forgotten the day you slaughtered and sacrificed my luminiferous Angel to the Son of Darkness.
O Great Oneness the man who stands before you is an orphan who has been robbed of everything he believed in.
O Great Oneness the man who stands before you is nothing but a walking living corpse kept alive for the pleasures of the Universe and the so called Gods.
O Great Oneness, the man who stands before you is an empty shell who has nothing left to lose but yearns to be embraced by death.
