EVENING STAR✨
"Good morning Mr Evening Star.
What would you be having this morning?"
"I'll have anything you've got that won't make me purge like the last time."
"I'm Sorry for the inconvenience Sir!"
"Well you better be, else I'll have this place shut down. Tell John I said that."
Mr evening star stormed out of the restaurant. He is the richest man in LAX City. And Probably the most arrogant man in the world. Everybody knows him, and some how he knew everybody. Most people say that his money came from a suspicious source. Some say that his wealth came from the devil himself. Nobody dared say this to his face, rumor has it that He Will have your heart for dinner if you got him angry.
††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††
He lived in a Luxurious glass house. A house worth millions. Despite the low security of the house, nobody dared to rob him. The last set of people that tried to rob him never came out in one piece. This is why He wasn't bothered when he noticed that there was someone in his house when he got home in the evening.
"Jades! Show yourself!"
"Greetings brother" Jades Said as he came out of the shadows.
"What brings you to this side of the world? You are only here when you want to deliver a bad news."
"Well well You Are In Luck today. I bring you good news. It's a bad news tho, but from it a good news is born."
"Can you cut the blabbing and get to the point."
"Dad is dying"
"You psycho, how is that A good news?"
"Look beyond the bad news. If he dies somebody needs to take his throne."
"We both Know who the rightful heir to the throne is."
"Brother you need to come home. Jonas Christi is no longer as powerful as he used to be. Most people wouldn't want him to ascend the throne."
"I guess we have to wait for father to actually die."
"Think about it brother. Wouldn't you want to rule the entire universe and get to control who lives and who dies."
††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††
Two days after Jades' visit, news got to Mr Evening Star of his father's death and he was summoned to come home. It has been 200 years since Mr Evening Star Visited Home. Everything about the Royal palace has changed since his last visit. In the palace stood all his siblings, hundreds of them, surrounded by 24 elders. One of the elders spoke;
"Evening Star! We summoned you here because it is A necessity for all the children of the most high to be present when choosing a new ruler."
"Why should A new ruler be chosen when I am the rightful heir?"
Jonas Christi raged.
"You have been given A free hand when your father was alive and you abused your powers! We can only imagine what would happen when you actually become the ruler."
"I will not stand here and watch you steal my birth right from me"
Jonas said with his eyes burning with anger.
"What do you intend to do? Go to war with everyone here?"
"Only those that wish to go against me."
He said as his supporters came over his side.The 24 elders laughed in unison.
"Even if your entire siblings support you, you don't stand a chance against an elder of the royal household."
"I am fully aware of that. This is why I have the book of creation with me. Here it says that If it comes to a battle for the throne, the elders must not interfere or choose sides."
"What makes you think I need the help of the elders to defeat you? All your life you have been daddy's boy and you have never battled before."
"Don't be too sure of your self brother" Jades Interrupted Evening Star. "You might need all the help you can get. Look around you brother."
Evening star looked around him and realized that the rest of his siblings went over to Jades side leaving him with Sarah, his youngest sister.
Evening star simply smiled and said;
"Out of greed, the prince of death also wishes to battle for the throne. Imagine having such darkness on the throne. Have you all lost your mind."
"And what makes you perfect for the throne? A banished son who brought so much shame to the family."
Jonas said arrogantly.
"How dare you!!"
Evening star said with rage as his wings protruded from his back and he flew with anger towards Jonas. And the battle began. The royal palace was turned upside down with so many things destroyed in the course of the battle. The elders stood by and watched with folded arms. The battle continued for about an hour when an electrifying lightening struck accompanied with a loud thunder which shook the palace. They all looked up and saw their father sitting on his throne and he spoke in a loud voice.
"What a shame! I was gone a few hours and you all turned The royal palace into a battle field. That shows no sign of a good leader."
They all fell on their knee with their heads bowed in remorse.
"For this reason! None of my child will inherit my throne whenever i actually die"

Wow, the father really tricked his children!
My favorite part of this story is the dialog between the two brothers when Jades shows up. That was so well done! And it made me laugh a few times too.
Yeah, the father did a neat job in tricking his children. Thanks for your support @jayna. I'm glad that my story made you laugh

Great fantasy story, their father's trick worked. To think even the elders of the royal household didn't know.
As I read it, I just couldn't help but picture it like the series lucifer.
Yeah, perhaps he tried to show them that he remains the Almighty. I have seen the trailers of the series Lucifer, but haven't had the chance to watch it yet.
Perhaps that was his plan... You should definitely watch it it's very interesting.
Lots of imagination and proceeds elegantly to a satisfying finish. Well written. ❤️
Thank you very much @itsostylish. I really appreciate.
This story has great dialogue! I enjoy all the biblical and mythic references too. Evening Star (aka Lucifer) is an apt name. Jona Christi and Jades? You must've had fun coming up with those names.
I came here via the dreemport gateway. Not dissapointed.
Honestly, I had so much fun playing with those names. I was waiting for somebody to notice that 🤗
I'm glad you weren't disappointed after your visit here. Do come again next time
Interesting and very fascinating storyline @ghost.queen!
Some things you might take notice of, some common words are capitalized, and should not be, and Mr Evening Star was capitalized in the beginning as a proper noun, as in a formal name, so the rest should also be capitalized. Consistency lol! Last line "child" should be "children."
Pictures need to be resourced, here is my suggestion:
When you have the photo and you are going to use it, just click on it and then go up to the top of the page in the URL and copy that. Then enclose that in parenthesis, and put the owner's name or Source in brackets in front of it like so:
[KoolShooters](https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-couple-holding-each-other-s-hands-8512238/)and it looks like this on your page under the photo:KoolShooters
But the first one still needs to be dealt with, I spent an hour looking for it from Unsplash and couldn't find it, and you'll have to find it wherever you got it from.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that you took it time to help me with my mistake. I'll work with this.
