The Birth of Judus & Marri
'Once in the sky at the beginning of days, a rage unfettered rampaged. God’s children squabbling at one another of petty differences and jealous struggle. “I believe it so, in mind’s eye that some amongst the clouds here will not ever deserve their strength over mortal men.” Starkly white of skin, flowing lengths of black swaying in the gentle breeze– no one would doubt her unending youth.
“I need not have to think so vainly when truth proves presently, some here like the sound of their voice too much in idle days of speculation and scrutiny.” A man, tall and wiry who’s hand is hidden in sleeve, eyes in judgement and tongue whetted.
“I heed no offence at blows below caliber, we all know if grounds were fair many who dance with planets are fools to mortals who would otherwise outwit them.” Her eyes lowered down, staring beyond the cloudscape and visions touching those mortals who she loved so fondly. A child throwing rocks on the lake face with their father, a family eating their mothers homemade bread and stew together, an old man sat happy next to his wifes stone and fresh flowers. “What a beautiful day today.” the old man said.
“What a beautiful day it is indeed.” Smiling softly, as if she was there next to him in banter.
The sharp tongued man changed his side, his fan whirring clouds out from his pocket. He wandered slowly over to her, “Would you trade for mortality?”
“I wouldn’t be such a fool to write trades with you. One whose contracts always fall to your own profit, such oblivity is impossible.” Her eyes did not stray, she continued watching.
“It was in jest dear. It would suit you well to not take me so seriously.” Like a toying cat he began frolicking around her, giggling and sneering. “It will not be long till our mothers rearrange the furniture. Do you feel yourself so comfortable as to ignore it?” She looked up, past him towards Tho, the cold planet, viciously blue and swirling yet controlled and serene. “They will make their judgement fairer than dealings with you.” The man rolled his eyes over the eclipsing of his fan. “Always the bore. But I must be grateful to mother, I need only see you every 30 or so years.” His comments fell on silence.
“Well, it seems my time to pass is nigh, so I must be going forth. Any partings sister?” He bowed playfully. The pale lady stood, with hands joined and polite. “Every 30 years you pass and I endure the day. Upon leave I celebrate and enjoy another 3 decades peace. I pleaded with mother that she spare me your lunacy, may this coming rearrangement heed so.”
“I too look forward to seeing you again soon my dearest sister.” ...
...Though these distant planets finally passed one another, it was 12 more years before the galaxy was rewoven, and in letter, deliverance:
“...With formal certainty and no deliberation, we here announce the birth of Marri and Judus, the two moons of ___ . The rearrangement follows, in reason of which gods must be distanced, exiled and banished to our furthest place. From henceforth ‘Kiya’ to be a prison planet to uncaring, immature god’s and so the goddess unnamed there, whose love to ___ abundant, be granted both thy name and home “Marri”. May we allow you to embrace them, protect them and relieve their pains in all the joy it brings. To the jester of ‘Locas’, we grant you thy name and home ‘Judus’, Marri’s brother planet whose joy for life, surprise and necessary chaos act in tandem with Marri. Two who cannot be separated, who must overcome differences and return to birth as they came– twins. To the planets ‘Radia…”
Now once every year Marri meets Judus in passing, their sibling antics creating 3 days of trickery and spirits. Beware the random happenings during the month of Matrivo.'

The Gates of Pitel
'“Who’s lurking in my shadows?” A firm but croaking voice yelled out. “Do not fret Godfrid, it is business approaching your door.” The lady of Lamin steps out of the fog and trees, with a long glowing chain in her hand trailing behind her. “Jhadi…What had happened? Where have you been all these years?” Godfrid mindlessly gravitated towards the lady only to stop and realise his carelessness when a large figure rustled the tops of the trees behind her. On her right, a giant wolf pranced out without hesitation, and a second moments later. They waited in the clearing quite relaxed but still aware and alert. “The dog’s of Radia? Here?” Godfrid began to worry. Then, as if his worries weren't enough, two more figures made their approach; Massive in stature and forceful as stone they pushed themselves out into view. The wolves now with their masters, the giants of Radia, The Whole. “Godfrid.” They acknowledged, as if a single voice. Godfrid began to realize the severity of the situation and decided to send out his whistle to call for his sons. It rang high in pitch across the whole surface of his planet. He hoped desperately they would arrive soon, for he now realized he will need them. In the silence between gusts brushing the leaves, the subtle twinkle of the chain beated, and as it did, so did the ground. Louder did it feel, the chain turning a clank, a shudder, a pulse of ferocious energy down its length unseen. It began to warp, to slink looser and creep towards the floor. Jhadi’s grip tightened, her chin raised as she took a deep breath in and straightened her shoulders back. Godfrid’s sons had not arrived but a moment too soon, leaping out from behind him, the three in perfect coordination landing and facing their ghostly spears towards all. He raised his hand in anticipation for his next command.
It emerged.
A figure of shadow, muscle and machine built explicitly for its own horror. Stunned, Godfrid knew not what to say or do. Its eyes glared into Godfrid’s, terrifying and awesome it sent him momentarily paralysed. “What…What is this horrid creature– this atrocity you have brought to my doors?” They remained silent, still looking towards the forest. It was then Godfrid noticed the chain had not ended, that it yet glowed into the distance of the covering.
Another being emerged.
Same in its terror and glory it slowly strided its path. “No…” Godfrid whispered to himself. He recognised a face briefly in its smokey grin. Unsure he looked back at the first, its eyes never strayed from him, a constant draining stare. A stabbing pain through Godfrid’s heart, he had realised who they were, looking back towards the forest in expectancy.
Two, followed out.
The four stood a great but pitiful sight, “You sorry sod’s, what have you done.”
The last to emerge was the original host of Pitel, massive, covered in scale and charred like a log he slowly slithered and stretched himself out, covering the potential escape. He did not look well, he did not look long to live. “Pitel has sacrificed his very being to entwine these savages. These golden chains only hold because of him, and when his task is done, he too soon will become our stardust.” Jhadi eulogized sorrowfully. Pitel exhaled weakly from his pits, a dirtied steam hardly worth his honour and might. “Tho, the mother has rearranged the gods, these four are to be sentenced to Kiya and all their disgraces will follow to Locas.” She furthered. As it was announced, two shooting stars travelled above and into the inner spheres. “Two new moons are born, Marri and Judus.”
“I see.” Godfrid relinquished, lowering his hand finally to which his three guards marched into their roles as gatekeepers. From his hip a key glinted, “I have no boat big enough for us all.”
But then, the interruption of the sound of the earth cracking and dust falling boomed behind him. “I will be thy vessel.” Pitel in his deep, echoing telepathy blew a fine breeze over them all as he, broken and battered– raised himself up. Solemn, not one opposed, they knew it was impossible for him to drown till beyond journey's end. The gate creaked open. “Well, let us end this then.” Godfrid turned with arm outstretched.
Both he, his returning wife Jhadi, and Radia with his wolves grieved together for Pitel. For he was wise, humble and truly too magnificent to meet his end so soon.'
