In ancient hieroglyphic paintings of the Egyptian gods one forbidden prophecy survived all odds among the gods who ruled the lands one incongruent goddess set her footprint in the sands. She was Kali, the most feared of them all who banished the lesser gods into a realm only she could recall those who doubted her tenets of Creation were sent to rot for eternal damnation. Humans worshiped her out of love and fear and she blessed them all and held them dear but even the gods are attributed with a flaw and so Kali's decline the other gods foresaw. In an epic battle Anubis defeated Kali and claimed her throne while Osiris volunteered to contain her soul eternally inside his own but Kali was a conqueror of time itself, the gods learned and during her last breath she prophesied her return. She told her followers to contemplate the time and mark her return in an esoteric rhyme: " In death, I was covered in black in life with light, I shall redeem what I lack." ...and so the code was inscribed in a papyrus and Kali's legend was forgotten among the mass then one day the papyrus was found in the palm of an explorer who wished for his son's return under the shooting star. The next day his tea was brought by Wassim, his son and delighted he gifted the papyrus and told him to read on startled to see such ancient scroll he revised the code and began to delve into legends of old. perplexed by its nature, he showed it to his friend and asked him to unfold its meaning to the end Then they both arrived at the same conclusion the need to study on Kali's annihilation. After much research, in one of the scriptures it reads: " The day went dark, when Kali did bleed." within a moment Alfred decoded its meaning that on Kali's death, a solar eclipse was beginning. ...and soon the rest of the meaning fell into place that, "I was covered in black" means an eclipse was taking place and Kali will return when the next eclipse would end "it is next month", Alfred told his friend. On the fateful day, they arrived at Kali tomb and patiently observed the movements of the moon as the moon moved from the path of Sun and Earth a meteor storm ensued, signalling Kali's rebirth. soon the meteor started their heavy downpour followed by a violent earthquake shaking the heavens to the core then a blinding light emanated from the tomb of Kali and a godly voice echoed "I have returned to thee." Wassim gathered all his courage and approached the light's source but was knocked right back by an invisible force then Alfred shouted in the direction of the voice seeing that they had no other choice. "O Mother, we welcome you again on earth a lot has changed since your rebirth since time immemorial, we wondered how it all began how do we fit together in your intricate plan pray tell us the last secrets of Creation and we will renounce our earthly possesions its knowledge we seek not the gold and for that we have come unto your fold." After a pause, the godly voice echoed again "Your thirst for knowledge shall not be in vain but know that this body of flesh cannot contain such wisdom for that you have to be freed from earthly Kingdom Let your spirit tell the stories of the lessons learned and whisper in the winds of the wisdom you have earned Creations cause, is a result of my jovial mood and I create to evolve myself from bad to even more good Let your bodies be the eternal witness of my creation In them I will inscribe the last secrets of my Creation your body will now transform into a stone of Kali carrying my wisdom in silent testimony." ...and from that day Wassim and Alfred stand tall in her throne the last secret of Kali carved forever into stone.
