A Devil killed by A Young Man ( Story )
A long time ago, in a king’s family, a devil was
born. At the time of his birth, a forecaster told his parents that a simple
young man would kill him when he would grow up. When he grew mature, he turned young,
and became ferocious as well. Whatever he did, he always did the worst for the
people. He was always against the actuality. He never liked moral things. He
thought of himself as the most powerful and influential living being in the
world.
He did not believe in God. He declared himself
as the God of all. According to his will and pleasure, he ruled the
people. He told the people to worship him. If anybody did not abide by his
orders, he would kill him. People’s lives were of no value to him. He was the
symbol of bad-omen and leader of all evil power. If he would see good things to
be done, he destroyed that at once. Day by day, he became stronger and stronger
and the most powerful.
Therefore, nobody dared to protest against him.
Everybody was passing days in fear. If anybody raised his voice, he would kill
him and his body was hanged in the tree so that the people could realize his
punishment. There was none as cruel as he was on earth. At some point, he
dreamt a bad dream and it was the worst moment in his life that a nice young
man was chasing him to kill. But he could not see his face. Because before completing
that dream fully he woke up.
He became gloomy and thoughtful of it. He had
forgotten the prediction of his death. He thought himself to be the deathless
devil and God of all. He recollected the forecast heard from his parents that a
young man would kill him. He sent his men around the world to find out such
sort of brave, strong, and nice man.
His soldiers looked for him everywhere to seize,
but they failed to do it so easily. He ordered his men to kill all the nice,
strong, and brave men. They started to do it. For this reason, a great battle
began. All the good and strong men gathered, and combined to defeat this devil.
When he heard the news of young people being combined. His head became too hot
and he became so much ferocious that he himself wanted to kill them.
So, he intended to join the war and fight with
them. But his co-devil and well-wishers discussed with him and told him not to
fight in the battle for the risk of his life at that moment. Being assured, he
consented not to fight in this war. He told them details about the forecast,
which he heard from his parents, and accordingly, he gave a declaration to the
soldiers to bring that young man alive or his dead body or his head in front of
him.
This news was scattered all over the world. All
the parents became frightened about the consequence of their sons’ lives after
hearing this news. A great battle broke out and continued for about
twenty years where thousands of people were killed indiscriminately. Their
houses were burnt. They could not fight for so long time with the evil power.
They were defeated at the hand of the devil’s soldiers.
All the people were fed up with the torture of
the devil. They were hankering after and waiting for one of the bravest and
strongest men who would be able to defeat this devil and kill him and give them
peace and happiness. Years after years, they waited for him but nobody came to
rescue them and save the world from the evil grip of this devil. In the meanwhile,
a baby was born before five years of starting the war.
The child was very nice and came up in an
aristocratic family. A nice name was given to the baby. He was named Abraham.
But the relationship of that family with the devil was very intimate, because
this child’s father was also one of the greatest followers of the devil. The
child grew up and when he could discriminate between good and bad he began to
oppose his father’s misdeed and tried to make him understand.
From his birth, he observed that evil power was
dominating the world. He saw the poor, simple, honest, and good men being
tortured at the hand of the devil. He observed everywhere that war between good
power and evil power. Nice and strong men were killed wherever they were found.
The battle had already passed twenty years. The soldiers reported to the devil,
“There is no so nice, brave, and strong young man on earth whom you saw in your
dream”.
The devil thought that his enemy had been
killed. He declared the victory of the war and pronounced that his enemy had
died. To celebrate this victory, the devil arranged a party for his followers.
The child had grown up into a young man. At the function, he had come with his
father. He met the devil and introduced himself to him as Abraham, the son of
one of his followers.
The devil was happy to see him as one of his
follower’s sons. He observed the young man and thought he had never seen so
nice a young man in his life. So, by seeing the young man in this gorgeous
function, the devil’s mind became delighted. For having so a nice son, the
devil extolled the young man’s father. The devil is now free from the fear of
death in the hand of that young man he saw in his dream.
He thought, he had died and there was nobody who
could destroy him.
The limit of torture by the devil increased day
by day. Everybody was helpless. The boy became angry with such sort of torture by
the devil. He told his father to stop it and he tried to make him understand of
the consequence of this oppression. He went away from home to a far-off place
and began to assure people that this oppression would not last long.
So, he commenced to gather the strong and brave
men who could defend this torturous devil. After being trained, the young man
declared to fight with the devil. He told all the people to join with them in
the great battle to defeat the tyrant devil to remove all the sorrows and destructions
from the earth to get rid of this devil’s tyranny. So, the whole of the people
gathered with him.
This news reached the devil’s palace. The devil
grew ferocious more than before. This time the devil intended to join in the
war to kill them one by one. A great battle broke out and it continued for up to
three years. The final day of the war came on. The devil confronted the young
man and recognized him, whom he had seen at the function arranged by him for
celebrating the victory of the last battle.
The devil told him, “You! You are my enemy?”
“Are you not the son of my follower?” The young man answered, “Yes, I am the
son of your stupid follower. But I am not your follower. I am on behalf of these
oppressed, innocent, and helpless people. I am only the follower of the
almighty God who sent me to destroy the oppressors like you.”
Hearing this type of response the devil started
to shout and laugh. He told him, “Are you making fun of me, young man?” All
around him were astonished by hearing the young man to be the son of one of the
followers of the devil. The young man assured the common people by suggesting
them not to lose their courage from their mind and to depend on the almighty
God.
The devil ordered his soldiers to attack their
enemies. Abraham told the people to attack them too to take revenge for the
oppression that they had done to them. At last, the young man stabbed the devil
into his stomach. The devil fell from his horse. He tried to flee away but the
young man again ran after him, pushed him out on the ground, and killed him
with his sword. The people became happy and celebrated their victory in the
battle.
In this way, the general people got rid of the tyranny of the devil. All the anguish, sorrow, and distress went off. The truth won in the war and it was again established on earth. The people elected Abraham as the king of the whole world. Abraham was pronounced as the donor of freedom and peace of the people on earth.
