J, Q & K

Charlemagne: La Hire, where are you? La hire, are you there? Etienne de Vignolles! I demand you to hear me! Can you hear me?

La Hire: Apologies King but Queen Rachel has put on a lot of weight, a weight enough to abort the birth of every voice. I am beneath her.

Charlemagne: No wonder why I penned my mistress’ name as Rachel.

Rachel: Shut up you dorks! It’s not my weight alone, I am here sandwiched between you and the bloody Ogier the Dane. Charles, it seems like the entire France’s orgasm has to do something with me.

La Hire: Ignore her King. If the majesty demands a conversation with a knave, the knave shall offer his service no matter whom he is sleeping with.

Alexander: Will you both please stop this nonsense? Gone are our armies, gone are our days. Together we are mere bumbling fools here who were just a moment ago brutally thrown and left behind to stare the ceiling and to have a moment for rethinking our lives again by just four of the awfully ordinary guys!

Hector: Ooh! Somebody save me from the mighty Greek, he seems to be upset about something.

Athena: Shut the fuck up guys! Let us not forget our civilization and do good to carry it out well.

Charlemagne: If everyone still remembers, I had something to say at the first place. I think we are highly misunderstood creatures in at least this format. People love us, they eventually get addicted to us but they are ashamed of it and I don’t understand why.

Athena: May be they are not wise enough as say, me.

Alexander: It is because of Poker! I wish I could re-rise to see the demise of the man who designed Poker and left us rolling in the grave of ours!

Hector: And I thought only Achilles overreacts!

David: Oh Jesus! Stop it Hector! Will you elaborate over Poker, Alexander?

Alexander: It is Poker which has ruined our importance. It is the game which parents think their child will ultimately switch to and get crumbled. But what they fail to understand is Poker is not a game played with cards. I mean it is played with cards but the cards are just a tool to carry it. The actual skill one needs to play Poker is the skills of bluffing which at all has nothing to do with cards. So they play with cards but actually they don’t play with it.

Hector: Do all of you get confused about which side you are with?

David: Wait, I see his point. You mean the reason behind our being disliked has nothing to do with us? Poker is just a game of bets and we are just used to put the bets for. If I may give an example, consider a situation where Caesar’s two insane best friends are standing behind him and we just bet upon who’ll stab first. Here, Caesar is just a tool for our game. I got it! Sheer observation Alexander the Great!

Caesar: Et tu David?

Alexander: Exactly! We are like Science. People make the misuse out of us and then hate us! Bloody losers!

Hector: I could only point Dmitri Mendeleev who made out a use of us, bloody Greek!

While all were discussing and pacifying each others’ agony about being the bad company for kids of their age despite of having the hidden potentials of honing one’s mind for ever a voice from inside the cover came, “Guys! Why so serious?”
