Book IV: Madonna

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Angel of Light:

I had been on my own for quite some time after that. Lust left me shortly after her mother and brother returned to Heaven. My kingdom felt so dull and lifeless now. Bayu and my children made everything better. Now, my home had become a lifeless husk.

My subjects tried to hook me up with a new queen. I didn’t want any of the second-rate women that ended up in my kingdom. I wanted my Bayu back. But she couldn’t come to my kingdom and I didn’t want to go back to Heaven. I would have to let that dream go.

However, it didn’t take too long for another woman to come into my life.

Her name was Madonna. Not like the pop singer. Yes, like the virgin Mary. (Creative, right?) Anyway, when I first saw her I fell in love. She looked so young and beautiful. Not like my Bayu, but still. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.

I first saw her in a field near a river in living realm. It just happened one day. I decided to look down at the living realm. Nothing special, really. I think I was looking around near Japan. And there she was.

My dear Madonna.

She reminded me of a caged bird. I think that is my fault. I pretty much forced her to stay with me. I had six children with her. Yes, I made her bear six of my children. It was the only way to get her to stay. She couldn’t leave if she was pregnant. I know that it was stop at the time but I was desperate to keep her. Looking back, I was the reason why she was ruined. But I couldn’t see that. Once I saw that long black hair, it was all that she wrote. Before I knew it, I was heading to the living realm without telling any of my subjects where I was going.

From there, the whole mess exploded around me. It would last for years but I would end up alone again.
