I was at home eating dinner and drinking with my friends. We were all laughing "No they hated me i swear. Anyway, you wanted to know why i was late."
"Come on, tell us" said Selia
"Alright....I met this guy in a cult."
They all bursted out laughing
"No I'm serious, he was crazy. Found him down the back road. He calls me, the lion."
They all got serious "Well lets go" said Mandy.
"Lets all go" said Frankie
I smiled but I bet the expression on my face was (are you serious?)
We all walked into the cult. Now I don't believe i explained it properly last time. There were big front doors. Orange brown with big squares engraved in them. A dark red carpet, two walls on either side and none straight ahead of us. It was night. The room was dark. In the blackness, we could see a field of shiny dark green grass and the full moon.
"Come" he said, looking at us unsurprised as if we were supposed to be there. I turned to my right. I saw the Muslim ladies dressed in their shiny , bright shoon of purple and gold adorned with jewels . They were happy, once again they were sitting on a bench talking and laughing. She looked at me, the one in the purple, with the smile still stained on her face but not in her eyes.
We walked toward him. "You are the bear," he said pointing to Frankie. He looked at Peter. You are the wolf. He turned to Selia, "You are the eagle"
I stopped listening.
"Come there is something i want to show you" He took us up a spiraling black metal that lead to the balcony. There was the plain field, the moon, the grass, the clouds, the stars. He talked to us about his God and how we must learn to come together as one mind.
From the balcony he said "Tonight I will show you the power of the Goddess Sharma"
When we spiraled down the elevating device we were changed. Frankie had changed into the bear, Selia changed into the eagle, Peter the wolf and Mandy had changed into a beautiful lioness. She had never stood out so much before.
"Now you must find the morning star"
"And what if i don't find it?"
"then you will be fed to the Goddess Sharma"
A great light appeared in the field, like a huge star.
"The morning star?"
He nodded
I walked closer to the light and then I saw the lioness in the corner of my eye. Then i thought, if i was the lion, the morning star had to be the lioness. I ran towards Mandy. I never realized i was in love with her before. I had no hands, I couldn't hug her, so I caressed her with my head and she did the same. I closed my eyes. "Mandy is the morning star, she has to be. She's the lioness."
"Well done Carl" He broke off the edges of the star and gave them to us. They all rejoiced for me. The Muslim ladies were there too. They were twin leopards.
"You could stay Carl. Do you want to live like this forever? Or do you want to live in unity with the Goddess Sharma?" Those lowly cities can't compare to what we have here"
"I think ill go" I said-I was human. We all walked toward the door when "POW!" I flashed around and saw Cobra's assistant dead, he killed him.
"His time was over. He was no longer needed. He needed to be sacrificed to Sharma.
I was speechless.
"What the f***k is this?!!" screamed Peter. "what the hell is wrong with you man?!!"
"You must listen"
"No, no. You shut up" There was silence "Look I'm not coming back to this sh*t hole" he said waving his hands "Thats it I'm done" he threw his hands up in surrender. "Come on guys"
"POW!"
We saw the gun raised to his head. I knew it was the last time I was going to see him.
"He was not pure of heart"
"Come on" I gently pushed Mandy forward and we all walked out.
"Come on, tell us" said Selia
