While the One God mourned the loss of his son, Yeshua ben Yosef, Elua wandered the earth. The people reviled Elua, however, and rejected as Yeshua's son.
He came to be in Persis, and there he was arrested. No one is sure of the charges, however word of his capture reached the heavens themselves. Eight of God's angels took it upon themselves to free Elua.
The first was Naamah, who brought a deal to the King of Persis. One night of pleasure for Elua's freedom. The King accepted, but fearing the wrath of the One God, he broke his promise to Naamah. The King feared the anger of the angels as well, however. He plied the angels with strong wine so that they would sleep, and put them on a boat with Elua in the middle of the sea. The boat had no sails or oars, and it seemed that they were stuck.
All was not lost, however, and Elua sang to the creatures of the deep. His songs were answered by the dolphins who bore Elua and his companions to the shores of Bhodistan.
[Janelle paused in her story once more to elaborate on a point.]
You know, in the Night Court, each house has a different version of the story of Naamah's night with the King of Persis. At Bryony House, we maintain that she made a good deal with the man.
[There's a note of amusement in Janelle's voice on that subject.]
