Malevolent Beauty

 

(A short story)

The door to the king’s chamber opened slowly , and she entered . Lips red as blood , hair black as night and skin pale as the moon , she is a beauty like no other . A beauty that Gods envy . The guards stationed outside the inner chamber drew their weapons out and stood in a fighting stance . Five trained men against one , would be a easy win for them but not against her . Not against , Yelena ! . She stood and stared at them for a moment . Her lips curled up to an evil smirk and she took her switch-blade out and waited for them to make the first move .

All five men came running towards her with swords held high , but she didn’t even make a move . They surrounded her and a man in front of her said , “Give Up ! Yelena . And we shall arrest you with dignity .” with a commanding voice . He then said , “We don’t have to make your pale face bloody , Yelena . Do we boys ?” , looking at the other soldiers with a wolfish grin . The others smiled and nodded in agreement .

“Drop your weapon or die “ , he beamed angrily . In a swift movement , she ducked down and circled with her switch-blade making a huge gash in the men’s legs piercing through their flesh . Blood gushing out from the laceration , the men fell to the ground with their backs on the floor , groaning and moaning in excruciating pain . It was like a flower , spreading out its petals .

She moved past them and paced gracefully to the inner chamber where the sick king rests . She opened the door and found the king peering outside the window , leaning on the wall . The sound of ongoing battle and cries of despair filled the room . The King turned around surprised in shock and stumbled to find balance and finally fell over his bed and managed to turn himself facing her . She stood there watching his pathetic state .

“Please leave me ! Spare me ! ” , pleaded the king .

“You know I cant , love !” , replied Yelena .

“I thought you loved me , you were my queen . I trusted you with everything ” .

“You are wrong . You are nothing but a pawn in my game and now its time for your life to end.”

“No ..No ..Don’t their cries of despair , mean anything to you ? ….please ..”

“Their Cries give me strength , love ! and stop begging for your life ”

“You have to spare me , you have to , for all the good times we had together ..you have to ” , said the king , his voice breaking .

“Shhhh ! I am going to make this real easy for you love , just close your eyes and accept your fate ” , she said and moved towards him .

Accepting the fact , his eyelids met and sealed them shut, forcing down the tears from the corner of his eyes . A slight jab of pain and he didn’t feel anything and hot blood gushed out of his throat , staining her hands , red .

“Good bye ! My love !” , she whispered in his eyes and moved out of the room .

There it was , the king’s throne , in all its glory , waiting for her . She walked towards it , the king’s blood dripping down her fingers , staining the marble floor . She crowned herself and adorned the throne with her beauty – her strength , her weapon . She breathed out , and smiled at the cleverness of her plan . All the pain since her childhood , the betrayal , the torture and the loss , has made her what she is – An Avenger , a ruthless one . 

“I have avenged my sisters and my reign of Reyan begins today ” , she mumbled to herself . The taste of power has never been enough for anyone , and its no different for her . The thirst in her for power has become addictive and her story which once started ,to avenge the death of her loved ones ,  has taken a huge turn to anarchy .

Vying for far greater power than this , she closed her eyes , planning her next move .

Jeova sanctus unus

One of the world’s greatest scientists.He was an alchemist, a member of the Royal Society of London, a Rosicrucian, and he signed some of his most secretive science papers with a pseudonym — ‘Jeova Sanctus Unus’ ! which means “One True God”. He signed his name that way because, like the ancient Adepts, he understood himself as divine. In addition, because the sixteen letters in Jeova Sanctus Unus could be rearranged to spell his name in Latin, making it a perfect pseudonym. Jeova Sanctus Unus is an anagram of a famous alchemist’s name in Latin. Latin interchanges the letters J for I and the letter V for U, which means Jeova Sanctus Unus can actually be perfectly rearranged to spell this man’s name. Isaacus Neutonuus. Newton’s name had always been a recurring guidepost for those seeking secret knowledge. Great man and a brilliant one indeed!!!

  NO OFFENSE INTENDED . Its always a pleasant thing to listen to music when you are completely bored or stressed out . But the music I listen to , in college . Phew….will come to that later . Most of my classes in college are totally boring these days . My friends , open up their mobile phones , keep them under the desk and start messaging to their friends , in such cases .I am not the always-texting kinda guy , so I just pretend listening and Im quite good at that . Boring lecture are always comfortable for many , as they could do whatever they want , than to listen .But I prefer them to be interesting. Wait !! Wait !! Don’t get any ideas .Definitely not to listen but to escape from my aquarian friend (My best pal). An interesting class with equations and derivations will keep him busy . He sticks his head to his notebook and comes out with doubts and questions .He very well knows that im not the one to ask questions to , so he deals all that stuff with others . Think that he m

The Tour Plan

As we are nearing our end of college life , we all wanted to go somewhere . Most of all , I wanted to . I was very eagerly looking forward to this tour . As people started planning , i became even more desperate . I just wanted to go out with a crowd , no matter where the place is . Go out and have fun – That’s what was all in my mind . People started giving suggestions and few opted out of the plan but most of’em was ready to go anywhere as long as there was a big crowd to shout , mock and enjoy :) With everyone seriously planning and most of’em giving an O.K.  to the tour , I was really glad that im finally having a day out with my friends . But my happiness didn’t last long ….   There came MR.Fate , in Partha Sir’s disguise and gave the report submission deadline as saturday , the very day we were planning for a trip . And as obvious everybody backed out and the plan came crashing down (my happiness too)…. I hope , Mr . Fate takes leave , atleast next weekend and let us h
