The Swan Song - страница 4
Meanwhile, in the realms beyond mortal men and materials, a messenger proclaimed the news with resounding voice to his audience of 4 celestial lords:
“There’s Peace on Earth!
They’ve given up their swords
Quarrels don’t matter much
When that Lady is looking for her Lord.
The mighty Kings assemble with their great armies
Not of swords and lances but of tributes and wits
lined outside her palace, their egos ceased
to fight a battle, to win the highest reward there is
In this battle,
There is no death and destruction
There’s Peace on Earth
Damayanti is the reason”
Amidst the celestial planes, Lord Indra, the king among gods, brandishing thunderstorms and a playful reputation>5 , deployed his omnipotence to steal a glimpse of this enigmatic princess. Just by the message that was relayed, the 4 Celestial Lords were enamoured and after a short glimpse at her sight, they were lovestruck and held a very strong desire. Their minds aflame with attraction and curiosity, they indulged themselves in the admiration of the beautiful princess. The quartet soon decided to descended from the heavens, and mingle among mortals, eager to compete for the reward so exquisite and opulent, even for their kind.

Meanwhile, bathed in the resplendent hues of the bright morning sun, Nal approached the same crossroads. In the distance, a shimmer of golden light caught his attention, captivating his weary gaze. Guided by curiosity, he ventured closer, drawn to the radiant source. As he neared, four ethereal silhouettes materialized from the luminous brilliance.

Your feet seem to transcend earthly bounds, as if floating above the ground.
Your attire exudes a celestial essence, as if woven from the fabric of the heavens.
Your complexion remains immaculate, untouched by any blemish or flaw.
And atop your heads, radiant crowns of golden luminescence adorn you.
Please tell me, who are you? Are you the Guardians of Life,
Or perhaps the kings of the legends lost in the tapestry of time?"
Nal inquired with humble devotion. Pleased by the prince's eulogy, the higher beings introduced themselves briefly, saying,
"We are the Four lords. The Paradise is our abode.
We caught a glimpse of the princess.
Since that moment itself, she has won us over
We have surrendered to her.
And descended to the earth.

to win the heart of the only woman we desire.
I am Indra, the ruler of the Paradise,
and these are my friends preside over the realms of
Fire, Wind and Life .
Be our messenger; be our voice.
Send our words of love to the Queen of our hearts
Tell her she may happily choose any one of us four.
We all desire only her.
She can test us as she pleases.
No mortal could match our feats."
As Indra's words reverberated through the air, Nal’s spirit shattered like a delicate glass vase being crushed by a Himalayan peak, each shard piercing through the next. His very essence fragmented into innumerable, insignificant pieces, torn apart by the weight of his disbelief. He began to speak in a trembling voice a plead for mercy,
