Week 3 story - Don Giovani in the Ramayana with Patrick as the sage

One day a sage named Patrick Startrick arrived into the Kosala country from far away. He traveled for 10 whole weeks without taking any breaks. The legendary sage was originally a sea star, but through sheer will power and determination, turned himself into wood. Dasaratha, the emperor of the Kosala country, who governs and protects his people heard the prophecies of the legendary star who will one day come and train his son Rama to bring justice to the land.

Upon landing, Dasaratha greated the wise Patrick and offered his kingdom as refuge from his travels. The wise Patrick replied he did not need any rest as his sage status does not require him to perform any external bodily functions - thus he does not need to eat, sleep, or defecate (also, being made out of wood helps out with this too). After refusing the hospitality of the king, Patrick mentions the real reason why he is there - to bring and train the young Rama to become the strongest person in the universe.

Dasaratha, surprised, quickly tries to turn Patrick's mind away from that possibility of bringing the young Rama out into battle, and instead offers his own personal body and army. Patrick refuses and instead starts to leave immediately. After a few thoughts and considerations, the emperor finally orders his advisers to bring the young Rama forward and prepare him for his training. 

Patrick then trains Rama until Rama's adulthood and then brings Rama back to the Kingdom. By this time Rama had become a strong and handsome man, in fact the most handsome out of all the lands. Both men and women all were swooning over the thoughts of Rama. Particularly one individual in particular, a gay (gay as in homosexual) demon disguised as an aristocrat who lived in the forest named Don Giovani.

Don Giovani is perhaps one of the most powerful of all gay demons in all the land, who had a specific character of being the opposite of a womanizer, he was a man-izer. Don Giovani would seduce young men in all the Indian kingdoms to be his husband. The story goes that once Don Giovani heard about the handsome Rama, he scheme his brother in law, Leporello, into trying to bring Rama into woods. Leporello, famous for being the master of none, then devises an intense plan to bring Rama into the woods, by disguising as one of Dasaratha's wives, Kaikeyi, so that she could force Dasaratha's hands into exiling Rama. Long story short, Leporello, who is now disguised as one of Dasaratha's wives casts some magic onto Dasaratha so that he would announce his retirement from being emperor. Leporello then trick Dasaratha into believing that he owes him a favor and that Rama must be exiled if Dasaratha were to be a man of integrity. Shocked and frozen, Dasaratha goes into an intense mode of weeping and silence, forcing everyone to worry about the state of the emperor. 

Leporello then seizes this opportunity to bring the young Rama into the woods!

Skipping a few key events, Rama ends up fighting Don Giovani in a semi-epic battle of good and evil with the climax being Patrick cutting off Don Giovani's nose, ears. arms, and legs. Don Giovani then now only a body figure with no arms and legs still challenges the heroes to further fights, but the young Rama and Patrick go somewhere else.

Author's Notes:

The original story had the sage named Viswamithra who was legendary and could control all of his bodily actions through sheer will power. I replaced Viswamithra with Patrick because Patrick is made out of wood and therefore does not need any bodily actions. Furthermore, the blog is meant to reflect creatively Patrick and his thoughts into the Indian Adventures.
I got the idea of Don Giovani being a bad guy in my spin-off of the story because this week we read the opera, Don Giovani by Motzart, in my Fate and the Individual Pt. II, and my professor Dr. McClay really got me excited about the Don as a character and villain. He was famous for being a womanizer so in my spin off I made in really really gay so that he would have to face Rama. I did this by replacing Soorpanak, the demon in the forest, with Don Giovani. I also put patrick in the fights as well. I also thought it would be funny to make a Pony Python reference by having patrick cut off all her arms and legs.
