PART NINE: LORD KRISHNA

Chapter One: King Agua and Princess Minoreyna – Nasrudin, the story-teller for the Naga narrates how King Agua and King Grumps arrive in Rasalandia for the celebration of the victory against the Three Elders. It’s a most pompous occasion with royal guards, servants and all manner of celebrations just to commemorate the much planned visit of the two Kings.  King Grumps and Prime Minister Nibor have decided that a marriage between the Lizard King and the Minotaur Princess could create a much greater empire for all of them. So they make sure to give them all the time in the world to be together and get to know each other, even if they are …. Quite different.  Since both are devotees of Lord Krishna, their union should not be too difficult to promote. Their discussion about a possible marriage union in order to unify their Kingdoms and thus the entire world, are both touching, profound and complicated, since basically they are from different species although they share a similar world view.  That’s when the dead begin to rise from their graves and King Agua and King Grumps must return immediately to their lands.

Chapter Two: The Sacrifice in the Arena – Lollipop City is doomed. The zombie infestation is not going to stop and the only chance of survival is to somehow take all the survivors out of the city and then let the City Dragons burn their home from the air. A young Octopus Man sorcerer offers a solution. He can cast a spell to transport the entire Pink Tower and all the people inside to his home-world, where there are no zombies.  But the spell requires the voluntary sacrifice of eight warriors. Soon, the warriors are assembled from among hundreds of volunteers and they all know it’s a suicide mission. But they will be saving what is left of their city and civilization. They go to the Arena where they will battle each other to the death (a terrible thing since all are fast friends) but they also know that when the last warrior dies by his own hand, the Three Towers will be transported magically to Kyzcarmzcak City, the homeland of the Octopus Men.  

Chapter Three: Kyzcarmzcak City – After the valiant warriors sacrifice themselves for their folk in the Sacrifice on the Arena, the Pink Tower, the Blue Tower and the Yellow Tower are transported to the underground city of the Octopus Men. The city is in the shape of a gigantic chessboard with all the chief buildings in the shape of the 64 Chess Pieces on the board. The Pink Tower replaces automatically the White King Building and the Blue and Yellow Towers replace the two White Towers. The Octopus Men make a huge celebration for the arrival of the Three Towers and all the survivors of Lollipop City. But King Agua discovers to his dismay that the strange Octopus Men play a game between their people where they go on sacrificing each other each time a building (chess piece) is taken by the opposing group and now, the Pink Tower must be the White King Building, which means that a game will be played and his citizens might be sacrificed, but more importantly, he will be forced to sacrifice innumerable Octopus Men. The Black King, co-ruler of Kyzcarmzcak City with King Agua now, names Agua “Emperor of the Universe”, which is strange. He also tells Agua that their game will last 3,200 years and that Agua will be victorious, making him sole ruler of Kyzcarmzcak City and then the entire world. The games are rigged! Agua, a creature sworn to non-violence must now be a mass murderer. What does Lord Krishna want of him?

Chapter Three: Lord Krishna visits Princess Minoreyna. – Distraught over the destruction of her soldiers by the zombies and the inescapable fall of Rasalandia and the kingdom of the Minotaurs to the living dead, Minoreyna does the only thing she knows: she begins to pray. And her prayers are answered. Lord Krishna arrives in her palace and promises to spare all the humans under her rule and of course, her entire Kingdom from the zombies. Immediately, the zombies lose all force. But that is when Jesus Christ, accompanied by Saint Death arrive also at the palace and reclaim the right to Final Judgment of mankind, since Minoreyna is not really human. Mother Earth arrives to help Krishna’s argument. Minoreyna faints as if dead. Since the two deities can’t come to an agreement, time stops and reality ends.
