The shadow of light anxiously falls over the crimson and gold mountains. In the torrential scarlet torment of the skies, the clouds angle towards the heavens with their ashen fists. One solid ray of amber light willfully breaks through the violent auburn vapor. The fire toned mountains below steep in their twisted delight, arrogantly threaten their impassibility and dare to challenge any attempt to conquer them. Ridged jagged edges outline their cruelty and magnificence. Rough and uneven crags surround the distant ruby valley below.
Endless caverns scorn protection and lead to nowhere except to separation and darkness. The current strong and unyielding falls to an unknown unforgiving reservoir. Sadak clings to the rusty muddy clay between his fingers. Clinching with the last power within him, he rebelliously struggles to hang on to what feels to be the last moments of his life.
He fights for love. His task is known but he is unaware of the malicious plans of the Sultan. The menacing waters of oblivion threaten to take the sweet memories of the love of his life, Kalasrade. In a desperate attempt to free her from the bondage of enslavement, he willingly endures many trials of hardship and painful experiences.
His life hangs in the balance. His blood-red cloth is his only protection against the brutal elements of the merciless landscape. His legs dangle over the precipice of the eternal abyss of darkness beneath his feet. His sacrificial love urges him on in hope. He is alone in his quest. He alone can save her.
The journey is not yet over. He has not yet reached the top of the mountain. He still willingly surrenders the loss of his life for another with each movement towards his final purpose. In the end, he rescues and redeems the love which he desires with all his heart but has dearly cost him during his hours of tribulation. Kalasrade is atoned from her captor with the vile of the pure cleansing waters from the volcanic terrain. The Sultan condemned by his own evil with poetic justice falls victim to the powers of the water. In triumph, Sadak replaces him as king on the throne.
Hebrews 9:28 “So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him”.
