The King of Spades: Dream Or Reality
"There's so much to tell you, darling, I'm so excited I've finally opened up to you.
The scholar's name was Elonas and he told my dad a great secret. That the Gods
never existed. That it was all a myth, great stories that the Greeks and Phoenicians
told their children which became more and more believable as it passed down from
generation to generation..."
"NO... IMPOSSIBLE!" Aleskander trembled.
She smiled. "The Age of Enlightment is the age when we will learn that the Gods
don't exist, and we'll use science to power our world. Orichalchum is not a magical
metal that Poseidon created like you were brought up to believe. Nevertheless, it's a
metal that has a power in it which we are going to discover some day. That power is
not magic, but it's science. You see, our knowledge which the "Gods" suppressed
from us is in its baby stages, but one day we will discover how to use orichalcum to
extract the power of lightning! You see, this metal has another name, Copper which
the non-atlanteans will only discover after 4000 years. Orichalcum is our key to
becoming masters of the universe! But first, we'll need to learn the language of
these... "Gods" because it has a secret in it, which even the scholars haven't
discovered yet. But that secret, is called The Arcanum, and together with Science,
we'll abandon these "Gods" and become Enlightened."
He shook his head. "Science? We don't need that. We need Gods to learn the secrets
of the universe. You see, we have Nemuzed to teach us how to become Gods like all
the kings before him. Didn't you see the power that they had?!"
She smiled. "But why do you want to be a God, darling? To command people? To
look all mighty and powerful?"
He shook his head again. "No, we need to be Gods so that we don't die. I... I'm
afraid... To Die. I'm afraid that... My whole life which I've spent learning and toiling,
will all be gone to an abyss of nothingness."
She touched his cheek. "Then there is your proof. If those kings claimed to be Gods,
why did they die of old age? But here's how we can become something even better
than Gods: All we need to do is share unconditional love. We erase all hate from our
hearts, and that'll make us spend all of our time learning instead of fighting. We'll all
rule together, instead of one man giving all the orders. Then we can become perfect,
and learn all the secrets of life... Even the secret of how to be young forever. But
first we need to be smart and realize that these Gods, they're just a myth and
figments of our imagination."
She held him tightly, but he trembled. "You filthy, blasphemous peasant!" He was
angry. She gasped as he pushed her away. "What do you know?! Nothing!" He
screamed. "But I do! I know that I worship my king and his great ancestor Poseidon,
he's MY God. And you're wrong. Gods rule the world, and will do so for ever... You
evil thing." She sobbed. "But... All I wanted to do was try to show you... That love is
all that we need. Love conquers all...."
He pointed at her. "Answer me this: Does LOVE stop mighty armies from turning
homes into ruin? Does LOVE stop diseases and plagues?"
