The place too quiet to be normal,I slightly opened my eyes to take a peek, but widely opened both to appreciate the scene, red was all I saw. I was in a red place. I would have called it a room but I saw no walls. There was endless sea of red everywhere as far as my eyes could go. I guess am in a space now. Before me was a black table, it was endless like the universe. It held artillery of different ages and kind. There were weapons made of stone, bronze, gold and different others. It also had jewels, orbs, gems, pearls and others. It was a table of riches and protection. A table everyone wants to eat at. It was like the items were calling out to me. My ears twitched as I could hear their souls shouting my name.
"Max! Max!!" I thought I heard. Maybe I was sane, maybe not, but for a fact I knew one voice was stronger than the rest. That deep masculine voice commanded my presence.
I became famished for the voice. I couldn't phantom why but I felt if I was unable to at least set my eyes on the owner of the voice I will not rest in peace. I was in a dilemma whether to run left or right. 'The universal table really was endless.' I took the left and run with ally might for what seemed to be eons, yet still the voice didn't seem any closer to me. What purpose?- I have nothing left. I know nothing of this place. Is this heaven or hell?- All my shoulder carriers agony. Yet still,what I want the most is u.
'You are not my greatest desire but I surely desire you.'I voiced out my complain.
'Who are you?'-What are you?'-'Where are you'-'Why don't you come to me?'-Yes! come and let my sight be on you.
"Is that your wish?" My saviour asked. A nod was my answer.
"HA-HA-HA!" He laughed. A laughter which shook a space nothingness.
"You shall be answered. Just close your." I complied. "Now open."
'Wow', was what was hanging in my throat but couldn't voice it out. It was like silence had embraced. The beauty which laid around me had robbed my tongue of words.
'What a magnificent moor'.I thought to myself. Flowers of different varieties ,birds of many kinds were all available .I saw the table no more. Instead,all I saw was a small round with two chairs around it. On the table was what looked like the skull of an ox but had the dentition of lion.
"Sit!"I heard and obeyed. I went to sit, kept my eyes on the scary figure for I felt it also had its eyes on me.
"Sir Where are you please?"."Right before you". I looked down at the skull but it turned out to that wasn't the one. I stretchedmy neck to look over the table and see what is in the chair before me.
"He-he-he". I giggled in surprise upon seeing my host.
"Hey! You got a problem with something?","Or you see something funny on my forehead?"
"Oh sorry I just expected more. I wasn't expecting such a cute, little,white bunny. Pardon me but I think you are on fire. I see smoke ascending from your head. BDo you have fever perhaps?". The little hopper jumped on the table,then unto the skull.
"Can you close your eyes for me?" He asked with a smile and I foolishly complied. "Tell me what do you see".
"Nothing. Just total darkness."
"Good,now give me a sec." I don't know what happened. But suddenly I saw my body sitting in the chair. It was like playing 3D games.'Was I out of my body or soul?'-I asked myself.
"Mister?-Mister?-Where are you?"
"Right here". I turned to see the little rodent but saw none. What I saw doesn't have a name. That was an actual beast. A monster among monsters. It's teeth,claws,eyes and all was hedious. "Was that the devil?" I thought. I turned away my sight and tried to run but couldn't move. 'Was this power?'-No. What that was pure terror.
"Please. Please don't kill me.". I pleaded with all my heart though I knew it was all for nothing.
Just like how everything began, I was back in my body still filled with fear.
"What you saw was my actual form. Would you like to see it again?" I shook my head as it hopped back onto the table.
"You want answers don't you?" I nodded.
"Then lend me your ear; for a fact, you are dead. The hole in you proves it. The name which generations have given and knew is Al', because I am all. You can just know me as a god, a god who searves man. Basically I Grant wishes."
"So you are a djin."
"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that. Let's continue: every blood has three wishes. With each wish, a price is paid. And I get to decide the price." The 'god' said with a smile so ugly. "So tell me master, what do you wish for?"
"Wait- so you mean I can get anything I want?- and I get three wishes. Wow- this is too good to be true. I can get my life back, with all the riches and the women. I can..."
"Shut up and let me end; you have to be careful what you wish for. You have the last of the wish left."
"We just met dude. I haven't wished for nothing. Can't I be treated fairly not even after death? Why?- tell me your reason"
"A good god lies not to humans. You are not the first of your blood that I have met. The one before the first of your blood made a wish. You also wished for my presence- remember?"
"You rodent. You tricked me."(<×>)
"No I didn't. I only granted what you asked, plus I want to end this meaningless contract. So do you want a wish or not?" I knew being sullen wouldn't work. Though it was evident that this villanious god was not to be trusted, I had no other choice but to be served by my servant. I thought hard on what I needed the most. No matter what crossed my mind I rules them all useless except one- Naomi.
"What kind of expression is plastered on your face. Are you happy, furious or sad. What a doleful smile. A sinister smile."He said as joy was printed on his face. "You are my favorite among my masters. That familiar smile of yours, a smile we share. Tell (he bowed) master, what is it you wish for."
I laid my hand on it's lowered heard and began to stroke gently then voiced l, "Vengeance." He hopped feets high. Landed and lied on the soft grass of the moor rolling to and fro, laughing out loud.
He shouted, "Vengeance- how I love the word. It's a perfect word, perfect sounding and syllabus. Ven-gence just too beautiful and perfect. Tell me more." He desiriously asked like a minx.
