With heavy, slow steps playing a tune, yawning and boredom, Antar was wandering about his garden singing as he used to do every morning, and he began contemplating all the roses and flowers while sniffing their scent, then he walked two steps towards the ripe fruit trees, especially the apple tree, and began to feel for one of the apples, as he feels for the body of a beautiful female. And he says to himself, How beautiful and delicious this apple is, and how wonderful my garden is of flowering singing. Then suddenly the words fell silent on his lips, as if they were declaring their rebellion against his words, and raised the mournful black banner, and he muttered sadly: But despite all this, I am miserable, miserable, and alone is eating me. Boredom and confusion overwhelms me despite all this sultan and this palace that has leveled while I sit on it, but I have never felt contented or happy. And my servants, they feel its shining light around me, they always try to make me happy and make myself happy every night, but no matter what, what should I do? How do I fill the void of myself and cure the torment of my tired soul, that despite my being the only king, the one, the one who commands the dominator, but I often feel that I am insignificant, small or emaciated, the size of a mosquito! Or petty, I feel empty-handed of everything except the feeling of loneliness and emptiness that will kill me. So the Minister (Qandeel) approached him calmly and cautiously, while he said to him in a whisper of the creaking wind: - Did I not say, my lord, marry and smile at life, if you had obeyed me, I would now be the father of boys and girls. And you have a woman who comforts your loneliness and removes your loneliness, - (Antar) roared in anger like a lion who tyrannized him, and he says to him: Didn't I stop you from saying this before? You know that he gets very angry at this hateful and abhorrent talk, and if you talk to me about this subject again, I will kill you. - I apologize, my lord. I just want your favour.............. (Antar) interrupted him angrily: Enough, you foolish minister, you never understand me, I said hundreds, but millions of times, that what you say does not suit me and does not agree with my nature, I am free I love freedom and freedom and nothing I hate from restrictions, and I also do not like to be disputed No one in my kingdom ever, this is impossible and will not be, I will be a queen who shares my palace and gardens with me, or naughty children who want to be like me, no....no, this has never and never will be, then he approached his minister Qandil, saying firmly: I am only alone. I have no partner in my kingdom, nor in my prestige and greatness, and in a tone of sadness and despair, he said: But I feel very weak despite my strength, I feel that I did not achieve myself and did not express my desire. Tetouan your backs in front of me Minister Qandil: We are indeed doing this, my lord, and we praise your prestige and greatness during the night and the gentleness of the day. --- Firmly (Antar) grabbed the lapels of his minister (Qandil) until he almost strangled him, saying: It is not enough, did I not tell you that you are a stupid minister, and Antar began wandering back and forth in the middle of its singing gardens while roaring in anger, and (Antar) was huge in build, broad shoulders . Tall, thick eyebrows. He has a wide loud voice saying: I want to feel more of my strength, I want to crush others with my prestige, I know that you obey me because you are my entourage and my loyal entourage, and you have an interest in obeying me. But this is not enough for me. I want more, more loyalty and blind obedience. I want to see many, many, many, an infinite number. I want them all to obey me and hope for my mercy. I want them to obey me because they are afraid. And their begging of me to pardon them, for this pleases me greatly, and then I shall be a king, and they shall truly submit to me. Qandil worried and apprehensive: But, my lord, you know the rituals and customs here on our planet, and I don't think the magician (Samson) will be able to.... So Antar interrupted him, snarling angrily, saying: You always have a grudge against (Samson) and jealous of him because he is better than you, and because he is doing for me. All the miraculous miracles that I command him and I see you always trying to little of him and weaken his abilities. And before Qandil responded or tried to defend himself or find justification for the words (Antar), whose sharp daggers pierced his ears, Qandil ordered him to leave. He left quickly with sharp, rigid steps, as if resonating with the sound of fierce bells. Antar had strange habits that he imposed on the planet ( Antaru The planet (Antaru) had strange features and habits imposed on it by King (Antar) because it Originally, his habits were his own, and because he is tyrannical and dictatorial, as usual, he imposed all his habits on his entourage. He always liked, when he thought about something, that his servant would bring him a few burning coals, put them in a straight line, and then walk over them like a feather in the wind! Believing that this will make him the obedient ruler and that he will succeed in ruling him in the future for life and will last forever. Indeed, his servant brought him burning embers, and Antar walked over them, muttering magic words and biting his lips in pent-up pain, while repeating the magic words taught to him by (the wizard Samson), then after that he finished and then (Antar) ordered his eyebrow to bring the wizard Samson, who came running running He hurried and appeared in Antar's hands at once and said as he bowed before him and felt that there was something in the matter and with a trembling voice he said: I command you, my lord, I am in service always and forever. (Antar) approached him, placing his hands on his shoulders, as he patted her firmly and resolutely, and with a smile that carried more malice and mystery than clarity and frankness, saying: Now it's your turn, my dear friend. n Samson: I command you, my lord. Antar: So bring the largest bear in the country to s*******r it as is the annual custom. Do not drink from its blood and eat its flesh. You and all of your entourage do not drink from its blessed blood. As you know, the bear has a soul from myself. It is a blessed and sacred animal, and you must all drink from its blood to bless you And his holy blood circulates in all of your bodies. Samson: Listen and obey, my lord. And before he left (Al-Saher-Shamshon), (Antar) added, saying in the tone of his command: Do not forget also, Samson, that all the children who have been born since the beginning of this year to perform this annual ritual in front of all the retinue. In hesitation and bewilderment, Samson added, "But my lord, as you know that the children of the courtiers have not yet completed their first year, we have three months left until the end of the year." Antarbezm: That does not matter, I want to practice this ritual today in front of a large group of my entourage. Samson the magician had made clay statues and released his incense and performed his magic spells and talismans after blowing into the statues, and they turned into human beings, male and female, who marry and have children. They were lined up in a vertical form after they completed their first year, and then he wore a frightening, brutal mask. It was his habit every year to jump over the children back and forth, believing that by this he would always make them submissive to him even after they grew up and to remain at his beck and call him forever and keep them away from evil thoughts. Which could lose control of them for life. And the magician (Samson) left after receiving the orders, but as usual he was coming secretly and leaving in secret as well! He was not one of the courtiers, nor of the men of the palace, nor even of the small families who She began to form and have children, not all of them knew the existence of the wizard Samson in the first place! Rather, they thought that (Antar) is the one who makes these clay statues and that he is the one who created them and made them and made them multiply and made them male and female, for (Samson) would come in disguise to the planet (Antaru). Then he walks in disguise around the planet and enters the (Antar) palace in disguise without being seen or even heard or felt by anyone, then he does not take off this The mask is only when he is alone with (Antar), except for the minister (Kandil was the only and faithful keeper of Antar and his obedient servant, and he was the only one among the retinue who knew about (a secret) (Samson), but despite that he hated him, because he occupies His place is private to (Antar) and he benefits from greater interests than that of the minister (Qandil). Samson used to soak this mask in a magical liquid for three whole nights before his usual visit to Antar. In complete concealment, and these were the orders of Antar, who brought (Samson the sorcerer) with him when he came to rob this planet and attribute it to himself, claiming that he created it from nowhere. Through what the magician Samson brings to him, who uses ghosts and magic talismans to know the mysteries and what goes on in the secrets and inside the corners, and then Antar falsely claims that he knows the unseen and is able to do everything! It's over Samson was hiding from the palace, leaving (Antar) drowning between the two covers of his huge book, in which he used to write down everything that happened to him and everything he intended to do. A gesture or a word! It was as if he was doubting their motives, or feeling and thinking that they intended to be treacherous and deceive, perhaps he was also forgetting and forgetting! Although he used to describe himself with qualities as he claimed to be greater and stronger than any of his entourage, and that he is perfection in himself, but despite all that, perhaps he was afraid that some things or some situations might fall from his memory, so he would not be able to hold them accountable for them in the event that they denied them. Antar went out as usual every morning to wander around the planet (Antaruto), which was always dominated by the smell of paint. The golden color that Antar loved to inhale and fill his breath with to feel the euphoria and grandeur that he always felt while wandering the streets, streets and neighborhoods of the planet Antaru, and all its roads and the walls of its homes were painted yellow gold because he loved this color so much, he was materialistic and he only recognized With what he possesses in his hands and takes every means of getting close to him as a way to collect the ringing yellow gold that he loved to treasure and collect day and night. This is what Antar used to repeat to his entourage, deafening their ears with it day and night, to the extent that he commanded them to convey his commands to the rest of the inhabitants of the planet and to generalize these commands to them and to avoid those prohibitions, or else woe and defeat would befall them. And Antar took a walk in the streets, contemplating the roads, streets, and walls of houses, golden in color, like the rays of the sun. Even the garden trees were golden in color. Fruits and flowers dangling from them in ripe golden picks that pleased the onlookers. Trees planted in all gardens of the planet! But why does he do that, and why does he need to do this? Indeed, everything is under his command and in his possession, and he is the forbidding order in managing everything around him and every small and big thing that revolves above the surface of this planet. But suddenly, Antar stopped in the middle of one of the roads and looked around him in exasperation and questioning, and began to spin and turn around himself, wondering? He said to himself: But what was this that existed before I came to this planet??!!!. I came in disguise with Samson the wizard and had it not been for his magic that bewitched me with him and his enchantment himself, we would not have been able to hide and enter this planet secretly??!!! Everyone here believes and fully believes that I am the one and only existing in all of this and they have no doubt about that! Why ? Because they had not yet existed, I did not find them, nor did I make them human! Or in a more correct sense, the mighty Samson was not yet the maker of his magical games and mysterious talismans to make them and turn them into human beings and animals that move after they were clay statues.!!! So who? From ? how and when ? How ? Antar kept screaming He screams inquiringly while laughing hysterically successive laughs like the sounds of lightning and thunder on a stormy night. His cries and laughter continued to announce the sound of its drums and its bells ringing throughout the planet (Antaruto) in its streets, alleys, alleys and homes, warning everyone who heard it of the start of a hidden battle going on behind the curtain. The Shepherd and the Stick)) Chapter Two The annual celebration began as usual, and the decorations extended until they filled the planet and its streets. Banners were hung with the slogans of glorification and loyalty to (Antar Raa and the ruler of the planet Antrotu). Red rugs were spread and drums banged all over the planet, marking the start of the celebration. Iron hammers announce the start of a war, and a straight line of young children aged a year or less stretched before him in front of his feet in a compact form so that a small distance separates between each child and the other so as to be a catalyst for Antar, who began to practice running and jumping in a barbaric manner over The heads of the children were lying on the ground, so the children began to sleep or become absent. Of course, it was not hidden from Antar that this was the effect of the action of Samson, who was present in his hidden form from others to extend a helping hand to Antar and be his stick on which he relied when necessary, and everyone applauded enthusiastically for Antar as he jumped, landed and dropped from above. Children go back and forth while he wears a scary magical mask that increases his ugliness and adds artificial awe to his prestige that he created for him. Shawn, who had mastered making this mask for him. Everyone had to hear and obey. All the inhabitants of this planet enchanted by Samson's magic were all, without exception, gullible So naive they believed that this Antar is the one who controls, masters, wise and knows everything, and the owner of the king is a true God who worships in secret and in public. They bow before him day and night, day and night more than once. On the one hand, in order to be more able and strong to withstand his heavy and heavy flowing from the heaviness of his blood and his arrogance, they were standing in line with the golden columns that covered the streets and alleys of the planet (Antaru), frozen in their places, bending over to him, venerating peace, and the streets were freezing in place like a torrential torrent. He was paralyzed by snow and cold on a snowy day. Everyone had to walk in Antar road and follow his way. Why not in his way, and his way is the right path and the straight path, and He is the All-Knowing Fattah who sustains the worm in the stone. Contrasting it, he is certainly able to (chop it) this is how the picture painted for him, which he excelled in drawing and misleading its colors, the genius painter (Samson), who His greatest secret was hidden, and only Antar and his minister were known. And after the end of the annual celebration in which the naive people who believe in
