Egor’s Creation (Part 3)
It took them some time to reach the top.
They were escorted the last 1/3rd by Cheops.
Zeus and family resided there.
It was beautiful everywhere.
After telling Zeus who they were.
And telling him why the visit occurred.
Zeus had this story to tell them.
We were sent here by God. Amen.
To guide these unruly people.
They have made Olympus a steeple.
We are thought of as gods.
We are really not. That is not odd.
We are His humble servants.
The lightning bolt is His invent.
It is more powerful than your lance.
I will show you its use, given a chance.
Still, it is not the unbound power.
It will save mankind in that hour.
That time is way in the future.
Exactly what will occur is not too clear.
As for now, we must keep evil under control.
Throw this lightning bolt & put on a show.
Anika and the rest familiarized themselves.
They became quite proficient, like with spells.
Zeus showed a lot of interest in the panthers.
Like Pegasus, he liked their enhanced purrs.
That is, their telepathic ability.
Their intelligence and agility.
He taught them how to renew their bolts.
How to store them till they needed the bolt.
They thanked him and were ready to leave.
When they all zapped away, even Zeus believed.
Back on Vantera, they practiced some more.
They kept it secret from Wizards by the score.
Sooner or later, it would be coming down.
They were ready when it came around.
Meantime, Egor was almost ready to proceed.
There was just one thing he would still need.
A powerful thunder and lightning storm.
Then, his creation would, maybe, be born.
Finally, on a moonless night.
A storm was scheduled that was a fright.
On the roof, with a metal rod to attract.
Egor waited. He had all the facts.
He chanted all the proper words.
Repeating them, waiting for it to occur.
A lightening strike finally hit the metal rod.
He screamed the final word with a nod.
A physical shape began to form.
Then it solidified. It was born.
It fell to the floor and slowly began to rise.
“Who are you?” it said, staring into Egor’s eyes.
Was it a success? Could it be?
Keep reading and we will see.
