CHAPTER TWO
Tom was extraordinarily teleported to the Land of Plenty. Indeed, Tom arrived but was very fatigued. Consequently, sleep took a hold of him. In a deep sleep, Tom was able to activate his emotional energies which gave room for the esoteric voicing of the TRUTH, revealing to him more about the land. Fortunately, Tom's interpretation gave an insight into what he would encounter subsequently.
The Land of Plenty is really an abode of blessings and curses. You dwell in abundance and if any foul play, you will unknowingly be punished by being slapped through a fierce beastly component and sent to any of the mentioned lands with high degrees of excruciations and stringent conditions in order to fit in.
The Humanimals had their existence that dated before the coming to being of eternity. There lived a certain king, named Melokinokia. He was at peace with all and sundry, every Tom, Dick and Harry of his village and beyond. Blessed with abundance of lands, precious stones, magnificent monuments, lovely ornaments and best-of-the-best of other kingly possessions, this land purely lived up to his name. There was an organized system of rulership; the people, who, before their transformation, were Humans, were law-abiding, secured and dwelt in self-sufficiency. Though they had a jealous High priest, Makana, who paid homage to their supreme god, Gariola -the god of plenty- through the sacrificing of humans, he was seen as a small fry whose service to the people weren't needed because they were very prosperous in the things they do and the village was very peaceful and secured.
He succeeded by orchestrating a matrix of evil machinations by mis-informing the allies of King Melokinokia and the neigbouring villages. All manner of lies were told to High Chiefs and Member of Councils of the neigbouring villages, falsely claiming that Melokinokia had secret intentions of up-turning the trade and other relationships amongst the villages for his own aggrandizement. Makana's conspiracies proved successful as his truthful lies led to the coalition of the forces of the neigbouring villages.
Unknown to King Melokinokia, Makana's smiling and good-will gesture would, in no time, mean paving way for the success of impending evils on the land. Going about his usual activities, he arranged with his accomplices, the neigbouring villagers, using their forces of coalition, to locate the hide-outs of the Plenteous Life force the name for the defense of the Land of Plenty and unveil other vital information that will engender the ruining of King Melokinokia and his entire kingdom.
Makana's gross jealousy stemmed from the fact that he was an unusual living entity. His human-bestial nature separated him from the rest of the people, even the king. Makana's services were only needed when it comes to cleansing the land and purifying the forces of nature that encompass the existence of the kingdom. The human-bestial traits were traced to his genealogy. His fore-fathers committed a huge sin by sleeping with female beasts thereby giving birth to beings that carry both human and bestial features. His lineage was an appreciation of humans and beasts marrying each other in awkward manners. Makana, all through his eternal life, had been leaving in utter seclusion from his fellow people.
His conception of transforming the normal humans, seen in the kingdom where he lived by manipulating the forces and principles of nature such that they lay with beasts and become Just as he is- a human and a beast, was responsible for the impending attack that would hit King Melokinokia kingdom and change the physical lives of the people for eternity. He worked tooth and nail to ensuring the onslaught pulled through.
His conspiracy plots did pull through. With the support of the forces of his collaborators, the fierce took center stage. The coalition of forces struck, firing huge Arrows of Destruction at the not-alerted and unsuspecting Plenteous Force, almost breaking their strong holds by encroaching and truncating the longevity of its age-long defense strength. Nonetheless, the Plenteous Force, who bore the eternal loss of the people of the Land of Plenty and whose strength of defense were eternally formidable, despite unsolicited attacks by the coalition forces, replied the onslaught launched against them by exterminating the warriors and annihilating nearly all and sundry of the lands where each of the coalition of forces merged from. Eventually, like a no-winner-no-vanquish situation, the Plenteous Force and the coalition of forces had lots to lose, evenly; the lands, the dead bodies of their relatives, destroyed heritages and other valuable monuments were balanced from both sides. Particularly, the Land of Plenty was left to mourn its dead and survived by King Melokinokia, his household and the High Priest, Makana.
In desperation to have the remains of his kingdom, King Melokinokia, sought the helping hands of Makana. Though Makana obliged him, Melokinokia was left with the Hobson's choice to accept the hard nut to crack decision of engaging his entire household in the act of bestiality. Makana also dropped the bombshell that broke the spines of every member of his household; he told them that they will transform to both humans and beasts. As a matter of fact, the living entity will be a duality of bestiality and humanity. In essence, they will be humans and at the same time, beasts. Simply, they will become Humanimals.
In the ritual exercise, Makana sacrificed the activity of each member of Melokinokia household to the god of plenty, Gariola, having manipulated the forces of nature; creating a falsehood of mirage of divine recognition as recognized by Gariola; giving rise to the untold consequence: the name of 'love' will never be mentioned in the land by anyone, including aliens.
As instructed, everything went well. And King Melokinokia and his entire households became Humanimals; carbon copies of Makana. King Melokinokia claimed his kingdom and became king but his household and generations would become Humanimals and dwell forever without the presence of 'love' mentioned by the people and aliens. Worse still, should any alien mentions it, that person will be sent to the great beyond; a fiercer destination of eternity.
Tom gracefully woke up from slumber and realized that he had a long way to go. Moving ahead to nowhere, he wandered the length and breadth of the land, not knowing the dangers he was exposing himself to. From the Mountains of Supply to the Hills of Sufficiency, From the Rivers of Life to the Streams of Sustenance, Tom was fugitively exploring the aesthetics of the wandered creations. Not knowing his waterloo was at the corner, Tom during his aimless movements saw a cave he later knew as the Carve of Magnificence. Then and there, his waterloo abruptly surfaced...
He got in there, only to be seized by the thin Air of Capture, a representation of the presence of Territorial Plenteous Warriors and blown by the Wind of Direction to the Interrogative Seat of King Melokinokia. It was at that point, Tom saw the warriors in person and his memory quickly unveiled in his dream of the physicality of the warriors-bestial and human features. Indeed, The TRUTH was right! All what it said were fresh in Tom's memory and what he saw was just reality! Though Tom didn't believe his eyes, he was faced with the challenge of escaping unhurt.
King Melokinokia, in a scary, echoing voice, asked Tom: "where are you coming from?"
Tom, in an attempt to hastily answer the 'threatening' question, replied, 'I do not know'. Surprisingly, Tom was really serious with what he said; he couldn't really figure out where he's from and so, replied the king that way. However, King Melokinokia's thought was afar of from Tom's response-he taught Tom was trying to play a fast one. As a result, Tom was taken to the Abode of Torture, home for all forms of inhuman treatments administered to encroaching aliens. Tom would suffer apparently irreparable excruciations until luck smiled on him when he met with Princess Kalina, the King's daughter.
Princess Kalina was the first and only child of her father who loved aliens but have been nurtured from the get-go not to utter the word 'love' and deal with aliens. In her eyes, Tom was a rare gem and in his predicament, she decided to take the bull by the horn by violating the Appeasing Rites for consenting, in terms of liberating aliens.
After undergoing a tip of the iceberg of anticipated excruciations, Tom, through the assistance of Princess Kalina passed through the needle's eyes of her father's punishment. Indeed, it was a red-letter day to Tom as he would have been slowly grinded to eternal dusts penultimate he sleeps with a beast which he detested. Although Tom's period of excruciations was truncated by the influence of the princess who would become his lover, the warriors at the king's court beat the black and blue off him!
Eternity progressed, Tom's intimacy with Princess Kalina grew and a union was about being set up. With time in the space of forever, their relationship became so noticed by King Melokinokia, a very stern and never-say-die man. Subsequently, Tom inquired of her mother. He noticed an abrupt countenance on her face. Unknown to Tom, she possessed vast internal animalistic traits that suddenly manifest when provoked, especially when the word 'love' is mentioned by aliens. The fact was that all full-fledged natives of the Land of Plenty carried with them the same possession which Tom was oblivious of. Still, she was physically an epitome of beauty that matched Tom's taste. He had no faintest idea he would be love's victim!
Meanwhile, in response to his question, she explained in an unexciting tone: 'my mum was a beast who was forced to sleep with my father for the continuity of peace and security as instructed by Priest Makana'.
Though surprised, he chose to see the possibility of an impending danger associated with such imbalance as mirage. Love was at work in him, despite being told not to mention the word 'love' again in the land.
After due consultations with King Melokinokia, an approval was made about their union. Things were going on well with the relationship between Tom and his damsel, Princess Kalina as they were ready to get unionized to each other until a tragic event that altered the Tom's destiny forever broke out...
It was at the King's monumental palace were the Rites of Initiations as to SEAL the relationship between Tom and Princess Kalina. Both parties were really excited because it will be remembered for eternity. Tom's exuberance, however, got a better of him as he erred by saying: 'I love you'. The entire kingdom, whose people were witnesses of the gathering and members of the ruling council marked their presence, suddenly broke in silence. Before the eyes could bleak, an uncontrolled angelic Force of Transformation suddenly filled the entire atmosphere and possessed every full-blooded native of the land. Consequently, they collectively and uncontrollably vetted the Wrath of Violation on Tom through the substitution of the beast to take charge and the human nature play second fiddle. Before the people, who had emptied their Anger of Violation gained their human control; Tom was sent to another world beyond.
