About the Author
Unravelling phase 1: exploration
A
midst the melancholic pitter-patter of raindrops against the aged windowpane, a solitary figure would find solace. The scent of petrichor hung heavy in the air, mingling with the musty aroma of the weathered pages that turned beneath restless fingers. Time would lose its grip as the world outside blurred into a watery canvas, while the written words transported the reader to distant realms and captivating adventures. Those rainy days etched a tale of an enchanting dance between rain, window, and book—a story that would forever mark the beginning of a novel's journey. Within the embrace of chilling gusts, the narrative stirred to life, as if the very winds were breathlessly narrating each twist and turn. The heavens themselves seemed to protest, releasing anguished cries that pierced the skies, only to subside into whispers that spoke of tender love's arrival. Amidst this ever-shifting tapestry, we sat as painters of our own fates, dipping our thoughts into the hues of adversity and audacity, etching them onto the canvas of imagination.
In that sacred realm, the imaginary ceased to be a distant dream; it morphed into a tangible reality that coursed through our veins. Masks of characters were donned, and as we peered through their eyes, we melded into their world, inseparable from the landscapes they traversed. The dichotomy of existence and fiction revealed itself: reality, malleable in our grasp, a clay to be shaped, while stories, immutable in their essence, unfolded preordained. Yet, from this divergence emerged a lesson, as profound as it was delicate. As the tales cascaded around us, we learned the delicate art of forging choices amidst chaos. The narratives challenged us to dance when the rhythm eluded our control, to wade through uncertainties, and to discover the empowerment of authoring our own fate. And so, as the narrative unfolds, we journey towards a story's twilight, where I sit in the dim embrace of shadow before a wooden window, raindrops painting a symphony against the glass. The closing of the tale whispers secrets of resilience and growth, a chronicle of how imagination prepares us for life's tempests.
Do you too, perchance, belong to that extraordinary assembly of souls who find refuge in realms of fantasy? I inquire, already knowing the answer that dwells within your heart. Ah, indeed, you are one of us. Your eyes light up with recognition, the knowing smile of a kindred spirit who has ventured beyond the confines of reality.
With every tale you devour, you embark on an odyssey of self-discovery, I continue, my words echoing the sentiments etched upon your soul. As though the fragments of your elusive identity are scattered amongst the lines, waiting to be assembled anew.
Be it the enchanting tapestries of Harry Potter's wizarding world or the valorous clashes within the sagas of monarchs and conquerors, I remark, capturing your attention in the gravity of shared experiences. You journey not just through words, but through time and dimensions, immersing yourself in the essence of countless lives. And then, the ultimate musing surfaces—what if these characters, these heroes and who have come to feel like companions, were to manifest beyond the realm of words? Imagine, I murmur, my voice laced with intrigue. A gathering of not one, but a multitude of characters, converging from disparate realms. You lean in, captivated by the audacity of such a notion.
Alas, the mechanics of existence deny us that vivid fantasy, I concede, a wistful smile dancing upon my lips. "Yet, perhaps, the essence of these characters can be absorbed, woven into our very fabric. Your gaze lingers, anticipation stirring in your eyes.
How, you wonder? I ask rhetorically, allowing the question to hang in the air. Through the art of emulation. By imbibing the courage of the valiant, the wisdom of the sage, the fervor of the passionate, and the humility of the modest. Your features soften as you grasp the possibility.
In this way, I declare, we fuse our own essence with that of these fictional titans. And as we tread our unique journeys, we carry within us a chorus of voices, a symphony of traits, that transform us into architects of our destinies. With that revelation, our conversation blooms like the pages of a novel, and the world around us fades, leaving only the shared understanding of two souls intertwined by the enchantment of stories and the fervor of possibilities.
Pause, if you will, from the superficial exchange of words, I suggest, my tone laced with a tinge of gravitas, and let us venture into the labyrinthine corridors of intention.
The air grows still as our dialogue shifts into a realm of profound contemplation. "For in the depths of understanding lies the true heart of our pursuit.
The tome shall be opened, the parchment unfurled, I assure,
but the very essence of our endeavor is rooted in comprehending the 'why.' Picture it not as a journey's end, but rather a threshold to revelation, a gateway to purpose.
The narratives, oh, they will weave their magic, ensnaring minds and hearts, I muse,
but beneath the surface, beyond the words, resides a deeper, profound significance. A significance that elevates us from passive spectators to active seekers of enlightenment. Thus, as we step into the stories that beckon, I declare,
let us illuminate the motives that steer our course. By doing so, we unite the intangible yearnings of our souls with the very essence of the tales, transmuting the act of reading into an odyssey of enlightenment and transformation. And in that moment, our exchange becomes more than just words; it metamorphoses into a shared expedition of discovery, as the world around us fades to obscurity, leaving only the echo of thoughts, the resonance of insights, and the profound understanding that we are not mere readers, but seekers of the deepest truths.
The description written according to the chronology of true events that happened is called history. Which you have been reading since childhood. But have you ever asked your teachers why you should study history? Yes yes! I know you would not have dared to do this in that childhood. No problem, we will answer it. History only gives us the understanding to do better in the present. We get the understanding of not repeating past mistakes and repeating past sensible decisions for the benefit of society only from history. But all these things are only related to the past. The meaning of saying is, what if our present is in such a way that we can imagine the coming tomorrow and that coming tomorrow is worse than the present, then what can be done? There can be different answers to this question. But the answer of most people would be that nothing can be done. Because they say that the one who is coming, let him go. We will deal with ourselves accordingly. Let us try to understand with some examples.
So the thing is that we don't really know who discovered alcohol and why! But we know this much that this is the work of a historical character whose name we do not know and perhaps no one else knows. But in the same history there is mention of another person who discovered that excessive consumption of alcohol can lead to death. But isn't it surprising that despite knowing these two things written in history, today most of the people consume alcohol. And now this story of the past has become a new problem of the present. And such a problem on which no solution is working. And in this way, we are not able to do anything even after knowing this present problem. This problem will take a fierce form in the future and perhaps even at that time we will not be able to do anything. This means that we should analyze not only the past events of history but also the happenings in the present with the same understanding.
Perhaps you have not yet fully understood these things. But it is okay, you will understand the matter yourself after some time. So let us introduce you to this story. This is the story of an emperor who tries to do something different in his kingdom, due to which not only his crown but also the kingdom faces great calamity. But how does it happen, why does the emperor do this and what is his need, we will see in the story itself. But now let's discuss about the title of this book.
What is the first picture that comes to your mind when you read Democracy of Devils
? If I am not wrong, then you might have thought of some monster who looks terrible, with big horns, big teeth and fiery red eyes. Or more than one such terrible monster. Because we have written Devils
not Devil
. But what is the relation between demons and democracy? These two words seem to contradict each other. It is as if the fish is discussing about fishing. Let's try to know in detail. Generally, demons are the symbol of fierce, destructive and evil. And the meaning of democracy is the system of governance done by the people, for the benefit of the people. Now this thing is certain that demons don't follow any law and order. I mean to say that I have never seen any demon bound by law and order. What kind of strange things are going on, I have never even seen a demon. have you seen Can you tell, what if there is such a system of governance, policy rules that are made by demons, and that system works because of demons. Don't worry, we are not going to talk about any law and order here. It can be said that your rules and regulations are now in the hands of demons. Or you are in those rules and laws which have been made by the demons. And in such a situation you cannot do anything, even if you are the emperor yourself. This seems like a very interesting thing.
Now you may be wondering, Where are these monster-like things?
Who said there are no such things as demons! There are tendencies like demons, aren't there? Any human being with negativity and bad qualities is no less than a demon. Violence, excessive arrogance, selfishness, natural obnoxiousness and judgmental attitude are all demonic qualities. And the person who is possessed of these qualities is more dangerous than even the fierce looking demon. But in this story, you have to find that monster because of which this wonderful Democracy of Devils is going to be formed.
The human brain has been said to be very powerful. Don't know what the human brain can create. And it is because of the same intelligence that the development of man so far has become possible. Tell me, have you ever heard a monkey discussing moral values? I have not heard and I think you must not have heard either. There are many things that make humans different from animals. Human intelligence is one of them. But man's ego is also such a thing which forces him to think. Perhaps you will not be able to understand its meaning so easily. Understand properly, man is such a creature that can never live alone. I am not talking about being alone at home. It means to say that man has always been bound in a social system and he was always a part of this system. And this social system is also not created by anyone but human beings. This is nothing new to him. These policy rules were made by man to simplify his life. And the more the complexity of these rules, the more life will be easier and for the benefit of the society. But this thing is not that easy either. Being bound by rules is like humiliating freedom.
, such things are
