Posh Gift







Heavens


Heavens was fed up with all these petty domestic spars.

Each time one of them wanted to show who was in command, there appeared these demands of a rash meeting of the Council to authorise a scolding for the supposedly guilty part.

Sky came into the Meeting Room donned in a pale blue garment as were his whims.

He had brought a present for Heavens (clever move), and immediately made his presentation.
Sky and Geah

Heavens thought it was a bit of a childish way to punish Sky's wife Geah and their children, but he had to recognise that Thunder was an impressive invention, and would scare those hearing it, besides the gift of the Lightning, another invention Sky gave him, was really nice, undoubtly, this will change deeply the way rain was up to now, and Heavens will be delighted to send some of those beautiful lines of light onto the rebel Geah!

  1. very interesting...thunder can certainly be scary. I like it though. I don't like petty domestic spars or drama apocalypses. If Sky can scare it out of them good for him. It wouldn't be so bad if he could find a quieter way to do it though. Maybe then we all could get some peace.

    1. Seeing the outcome of centuries I would rather say that Sky didn't get his objective.

      Not even in a quieter way!

      Forget peace for the time being! :)

      Thank you for your comment!

  3. Beautifully written! I read it as a bit if Sci-Fi but more to a legend. You have rich knowledge in this area. You're a good story teller. Thank you for another interesting sharing, Od. :)

    1. You do it right, Legend is the way Sci-Fi used to don before Humankind robbed it of its charming beauty in the name of a truth and science that do not deserve the honour!

      Thank you, BB!

    1. Dear Auntie, you always pamper me, so much so, that I am happily starting to feel I am your favorite nephew! :))

      Thanks a lot!

      I'd ask you to be blessed if I'd not know you are already blessed by the highest echelon at Heaven.

  5. You have added to ancient mythology with your story of the creation of thunder and lightning! It fits right in! Very nicely done!

    1. There is, possibly, not major gratification than to be named between those giants who created such a Mystic Stories as Greeks, and Romans.

      Thank you, K R, I am not sure I deserve it, but I do like it! More over so, coming from you!

      PS: May I call you K R? The Smith makes it too formal!

  7. Yes, that was a pretty fancy gift. But I think it didn't end up the way they wanted, as its roar and hammering on the earth, forged in the imagination of men the most terrible and wicked gods, and sat in the thrones of Olympus or were coated with an unfathomable evil...

    1. No doubts, all those demiurges created by the fallible mind of men could only be turned into unfathomable Evil, as so clearly you wrote!

      Thank you, for your comment, Pris!
