The Conqueror of Worlds
Years ago, the biggest ape heard of a conqueror who carved a great empire out of an entire planet.
- "It's only a legend" some people would say, "no such man could ever exist".
Others would believe in his existence but not in his deeds:
- "No such man could ever exist", they would also say.
- "A blood-thirsty, thug" said one intellectual. "It's a good thing we no longer have to deal with such people."
- "When he died", he continued, "His last command was to be buried at a secret place, and anyone who buried him murdered."
-"Any indications as to that place?", asked the biggest ape.
-"Nothing making sense.", said the intellectual. "He is said to be buried at the threshold. Where the mountain, meets the sea. Halfway between man and beast. Only where the eternal sun shines. To get there you would have to close your eyes and follow a narrow path by the moonlight. When the sun rises, you would see if you followed the right path. Then with everything revealed, you would face your Judgment".
-"Hum.", grunted the biggest ape.
Weeks later, the biggest ape was sitting at the burial place. Staring at the ancient tombstone in deep contemplation.
*"May they doubt my deeds and that I ever walked amongst men, so only the worthy may believe"*
Putting the dirt back on the stone, the biggest ape arose.
"Rest, wise one."
Thus spake Apathustra.

Putting the dirt back on the stone, the biggest ape rose.
"Rest, wise one."
