[Once a long time ago, there was a man. For as long as he could remember he had always always been by himself. If he climbed down the mountain, he knew that he would meet people, but chose to be by himself.
The one who is at the top, normally is alone. Having the strength of a thousand men. Having the lives of a thousand men. That man having a thousand memories, he knew that he was different from other people.
This man was afraid of other people. He was afraid of getting hurt. While he had so many powers, he was afraid of this self that he knew was so different from the world.]
He could be with people if he went down but never did due to being afraid since he was different.
One day a Cat came to him...
["I have been following you for some time."
"You have a most unusual aura, I can't help but be drawn to you. I realise I am but a stray cat but won't you please let me stay by your side? Please "God"]
The cat stayed by his side always and the God became happy and Thought..
["Perhaps, I can get along with them if it was a being other than human. If it is with beings who have had similar experiences, then we can have a fun banquet."]
So he sent out many invitations and in the end 12 animals came. They all had a banquet each night and had fun. The God even laughed out loud for the first time. But then the cat collapsed and fell ill. They all realized that the banquet, no matter how fun it was, would end. They all would die no matter what. But then the God cast a spell in the water.
["Let us make our friendship last for eternity. Even when we die, let us be bound by our friendship for eternity. No matter how many times we die, no matter how many times we are reborn, again, in the same way no matter how many times, let us have another banquet. Everyone getting along for all of time. Let us be in eternal bliss."]
Everyone agreed except the cat.
["God, God, why did you make me drink that? God, I do not want eternity.
"I do not want eternal bliss."]'''
They all believed the cat betrayed them and all turned away. Even so the cat said...
["God, God, even though you are frightened, let us accept that all things end. Even though it is sad, let us accept that life ends."
"God, even though it was just for a short time, I was happy being by your side. If I were to die, be reborn and meet you again, The next time rather than in the moonlight I want to see you smile in the sunlight. The next time I meet you, I want to see you laughing surrounded with people."]
The cat died, but they all believed he betrayed them. They all died and soon God was all alone, but he did not worry, due to the promise.
["Again. We will have a banquet again. Once again many times, always unchanging. No matter how alone I am right now."
"On the other side of that promise everyone is waiting for me."]
