The Fish and the Snake (ePub)

Get ready for a wondrous trip through the Great Cloak. In his infinite wonder
and joy, the Great Wizard expands his Cloak and releases his joyous essence into
the billions of galaxies, creating the universe. He creates other beings who are
similar to him, but none is quite like him. He longs for the company of another
with whom he can revel in wonder and continue creating—a gift he ultimately
grants himself.
Ophious, one of the creations closest to him, eavesdrops in on the
conversations of the now two Great Wizards and soon finds himself feeling left
out and jealous of the powers of creation held by the Great Wizards. Ophious sets
out to find beings that are gullible and easily influenced. He quickly convinces
them to combine energies and create their own special star, where he capitalizes
on their insecurities and fears further manipulating them, thereby bringing
about greater envy and hate among his followers.
Amid the uncertainty, love attempts to come to the rescue in the form of
Joshua, the fish, and his friends. Joshua, full of love and hope, can access the
powers of the Great Cloak and longs to return the love and hope to the lost.
Ophious inevitably conspires against him, leading to Joshua's betrayal. Through
much patience, many trials, and a great deal of tribulation, Joshua eventually
convinces those who once persecuted and betrayed him that they were a part of
the Great Cloak all along.
