jumped out of the boxes. Gen. Cov was forced to call for assistance
from the warriors to help unchain them and to prevent them from
running away. The last two boxes that were containing the golden
crowns were also opened. The generals removed the crowns and placed
them on the skulls of the eight skeletons. One by one, the crowns
started shining yellow and their skeletons became whiter! “They are
the Ghoes! ….. The Ghoes!…..” shouted the ordinary ghosts in
unison. The sight of the Ghoes was a vivid flashback to the pioneer
ghosts. But to the younger ghosts, it was a fairytale that had
turned out to be true!
The ordinary ghosts continued shouting “The
Ghoes….. The Ghoes,” until when Gen. Cov signaled to them to stop
such that he could continue with his speech. “Comrades, before we
fully celebrate this triumphant moment we should first recall that
these great leaders were ten not eight? Now where are the others?”
Again the ghosts lapsed into silence. For all that long, they had
been thinking that Lord Ghost had managed to arrest the two missing
Ghoes but they couldn't figure out what he might have done to them.
There was silence for the few seconds that followed as the
skeletons waited attentively for the generals’ next action.
Gen. Path removed the two crowns that were
remaining in the metallic boxes. He handed one to Gen. Cov and
retained the other. They simultaneously placed them on their
skulls. Immediately, the crowns started shining and their skeletons
also turned whiter. Everyone present could not believe it. The
ordinary ghosts plus the warriors started looking at their lost
leaders in amazement for they could not believe it also!
For all that long, the two generals were the
two missing Ghoes. They had been arrested by Lord Ghost’s soldiers
but were never identified. When Lord Ghost started recruiting
soldiers from the prisoners, the two agreed to join him. They
exhibited good military and leadership skills which impressed Lord
Ghost. This enabled them to rise through the ranks in a short time
until when they became full generals. Gen. Cov was made the overall
commander of the warriors, second only to Lord Ghost and Roth. Gen.
Path was made the commander in charge of training the recruits.
They showed so much loyalty to their two
leaders that it was had to suspect that they had other intentions.
But they kept a close link to each other and would seldom meet to
discuss the ways through which they would regain their leadership.
They had intentionally requested to stay in charge of the reserve
force such that they could use that chance to overthrow the regime.
Lord Ghost had not objected this request because he trusted them to
the full. When Lord Ghost was leaving, he had left the key for the
vault with Gen. Cov and requested him to keep it with all his
might.
After donning their crowns, Gen. Cov invited
Gen. Path to address the audience.
“Comrades,” he began. “The last time that you
were here, you were informed about Lord Ghost’s intention of
attacking earth. But as I speak now, they have already reached
earth. I want to let you know that the children, spouses, relatives
and friends whom you left on earth are dying in the hands of our
colleagues right now! Some have already died and will join us here
very soon. The only bad thing is that our colleagues have no
prudent reason as to why they are doing this!’’
“We must know that humans are the ghosts and
we are the humans. Ghostkind survives only because mankind
survives! We cannot kill the people who buried us. The people who
continuously pray for us to ‘’Rest in Peace.” It’s malicious for us
to start admiring the beauty of planet Earth. We were the ones who
laid the foundation of that beauty and we can do the same here! If
we could do that in that short time that we spent on earth, what
about here where we are going to spend all our eternity?”
