Izuku will face it all, not just for his friends, not for his family, but for all living things, human and spiritual. He will strive forward, for the sake of Spirited Posterity. <<less

In a realm where gods govern the forces of life and death, Nyktos stands as the unwavering Goddess of Death, tasked with maintaining the balance by guiding souls to their rightful end. Known for her stoic demeanor and unwavering commitment to her duty, Nyktos has never questioned her role nor the isolation it brings—until the balance is shattered by an ancient entity, threatening the very fabric of existence.... more>>

Yusei, the vibrant and compassionate God of Life, seeks out Nyktos, proposing an unlikely alliance. Together, they embark on a quest to restore the balance, a journey that will take them across realms, challenge their understanding of their powers, and force them to confront their own beliefs about life, death, and everything in between.

As they journey, they encounter beings affected by the imbalance: souls unwilling to depart, life that refuses to flourish, and a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Each encounter tests Nyktos's resolve and slowly cracks the armor around her heart, revealing the pain and empathy she has long denied.

Yusei's influence gradually softens Nyktos. Through him, she begins to see her role not just as the taker of souls but as a guide who provides comfort in the face of the inevitable. His warmth and understanding of the interconnectedness of all things show her that emotions and empathy are not weaknesses but strengths that can guide her in her duties.

The turning point comes when they face the ancient entity, which thrives on the discord between life and death. In this moment, Nyktos's newfound empathy becomes their greatest weapon. Her ability to understand and comfort the souls in her charge and those left behind, including the entity itself, allows them to address the root of the imbalance.

It's recommended you read through Book 1 (Creation: The Wolves That Are Us) before this, however Book 2 could also be read first without the knowledge of Book 1, you'd be missing out on references and character reveals but that's all.... more>>

This isn't a tale depicted from the recent past, this story doesn't head towards a new future. Instead this story looks towards a memory, the recorded events that have already occurred. There may be some old faces, some more memorable than another. You may remember some of these but, understand this...there's nothing like experiencing something for yourself, maybe something wasn't told right. Or perhaps, you'll learn of someone new, someone who's had a hand throughout this play but hasn't yet shown their face.

This could tell you the origin of the gods, the origin of the world or even the beginning of time. But for this story we're going to look at something more simple, something undiluted and yet to be touched by the hands of the divine. A human. The name that would soon spring fear through the ones that reside within the realms, both the mortal and the immortal.

Now look towards the human...the storm shaped by the beast and motivated by the serpent. <<less

~ Abracadabra ~

Aloha, and welcome to The Garden.
My name is Bagheera and I’m the narrator.

These stories are all “fictional”,
so there’s no need to go around
insisting that the people, places and events
described here are “real”
like the mythical Russian mystic ~ Anastasia;
even if you feel particularly moved by them.

Regardless of their purely coincidental
similarity to any real person or situation,
these stories have an explicit purpose,
which does not hinge upon whether or not
they can be verified by historical record.

The purpose of these stories is to illustrate
ways of living and being that differ greatly
from those to which humanity
~ in the so-called “developed”
and allegedly “civilized” world ~
has grown accustomed.

The heroes in these tales are simply
Men and Women who have discovered
~ and moved into alignment with ~
The Laws of Nature.

Through communion with this Cosmic Law,
and devoted Service to All Life,
they have brought peace
to their lives and to their world.

My intent in sharing these stories
is that they may inspire you
as they have inspired me:

“To Learn and Grow Stronger,
All Ways and Eternally.”

~ Blessings. ~ <<less
