Scenerymania entry; the meeting of the gods part 1

The stage is set. Curtain opens to reveal a
room. The walls are crimson and on opposite
ends are windows open to the outside. A
large mahogany door leads backstage. On the
stage lies a couple of reclining …chairs
encircling a large round table. All are made
of wood. Adorning the table, close to the
edges where the chairs are set, are sets of
chalices with a large one set at the centre of
the table. One after the other, the men come
in through the backstage.
Almost as soon as all are seated, lightning
flashes across the stage and is followed by a
loud roar of thunder. Like a spark, the flash
metamorphoses into a man. He wears a silky
white robe taped at the extremes in silver. He
has a small-size silver crown atop his head
and holds a huge trident. All rises as they
bow their heads to acknowledge this man. He
sits and others follow suit)
Old Dragon : I have summoned you here.
From the four corners of the earth, the minds
and foolishness of men. I have seen the good
works you have wrecked. Welldone! Now, for
the benefit of the others seated here, recount
all that you have done to completely spot the
white robes of the supposedly spotless
virgins. Let’s hear from you, god of thunder
and lightning.
Zeus : (Stands and take a bow) What an
honour! (He then stands upright) I have
infiltrated the minds of men, young and old. I
have taken over their souls and they have not
realized it yet. Hardly would you find a man
gifted in the arts who wouldn’t pay allegiance
to me. Many ways have I taken over their
souls. Permit me to tell some of them while I
am seated (He bows again).
Old Dragon : Great Zeus! (Lets out a sinister
laugh.) You have all the time you would
need. We are all ears. (Motions to him to
sit).
Zeus : Thank you sire. (Sits). I have made it
so in the arts that if you do not know or write
about me or other olympian gods, you do not
know the arts. I have sponsored numerous
laudable movies and writings that have
heightened their zest to learn more. Why else
would they flip the books in the library, their
minds bent on one that sheds more light on
the greek literature. They would spend hours
on end feeding their gay curiousity, taking
notes and aligning them for easier
understanding. I have so infested their minds
that each time lightning flashes and thunder
strikes, Zeus comes to their minds.
(Chuckles). I have also trained other gods to
carry on the trend. Amongst my proteges are
Sango, whom I have sent to some south-
western part of a naive country,and
Amadioha to the eastern part of the same
country. Time would not permit me to name
them all and state the geographical parts
that I have handed over to them. (drinks from
his cup).
Old Dragon : Bravo! I would love to hear
more. Perhaps that is all you have wrought.
Zeus : No sire. I have also left them with
many mysteries to solve. The paternity of
numerous mystical births. An interesting tale
of the emergence of other gods.
Poseidon,hades,hera,and others. Foolish
humans! They would never believe that I do
not exist but in their minds. Feasting on their
naivety and curiousity. I should stop here,
lest I consume time.
Old Dragon : You have done well! Who else
shall I call upon to give account? (Eyes
Baphomet)
