The shadi!
Yes, another one in the family, the bride and groom a very happy couple, a very…. appropriate couple, perfectly complementing each other’s personality. A very happy and fulfilling union for both of them, and the people around them…. well, almost!
It was a happy day, yet it was marred by events, events which started more than a month previously, which showed people we had loved, had given everything we had and did everything we could do, in a very different light. It was like the wolf discarding its sheep’s clothing and barring its fangs. But it had made the fatal mistake of assuming only it had fake clothing, for it did not see the lions in sheep’s clothing around it. It may not have damaged much, but left a very bad taste in the mouth. (wolves are seldom tasty :p)
You see, certain… elements… in the family hierarchy decided it was not conducive to their ‘delicate balance of power’ for the union to proceed. I dont know what was more insulting, the fact that they thought they had power over us, or the fact that they chose to exercise that power through back alley politics. Every day brought with it a set of lies, all designed to have the greatest impact. All were brought down and torn to shreds before they could even begin their assault. We persevered… this time.
Those who led us in the past, got so far ahead that they became the other side! and nature, in its divine wisdom, manifested it so literally it almost took my breath away.
They ruled for a generation! Their scions decided they would rule the next. But the circumstances were different this time. They did not factor in that we would learn from our elders mistake, that we would not, could not, let history repeat itself. A different order has been created. One, which i believe would be the undoing of not only them, but also us. Alas, it has to be this way. We will not be undermined by our own, and we will not be taken down for being the selfless devotees. Its time they learned…
The battle lines have been marked… first blood drawn. This is just the beginning. In the end, we will emerge victorious! And they will have learned we are not who we were before.
