Once, there was a boy born under dark stars, marked unknowingly by forces beyond his reach. In his early years, he was brought into a cult as an unwilling scapegoat, his innocent soul bearing the weight of an ancient curse, he was bound to carry the spirits of both Lucifer and Lilith. This mark, invisible to the boy, followed him everywhere, shaping his life with a relentless series of traumas and heartbreak. His family life was fractured, shadowed by tragedies that struck just when glimpses of hope began to shine. A few small victories kept his spirit alive, but they were fleeting, mere pauses in the haunting song that was his life.
As he grew, the boy became a man, and with each passing year, he felt a subtle but growing awareness of something hidden, a presence that seemed to hover around him, watching, orchestrating, a force that seemed to manipulate even his smallest decisions. Every so often, he would change his schedule on a whim, and in those moments, he’d feel a faint shift, as if unseen forces had to recalibrate. The world around him began to feel like an elaborate show, a strange, twisted play where he was both actor and audience.
He’d often talk aloud to no one in particular, feeling presences respond in ways that went beyond mere coincidence. The answers came from strangers and friends, through messages or random usernames online. Each response seemed woven into a larger, cryptic dialogue, as if he were speaking to a cosmic intelligence that fragmented itself to communicate.
With this growing awareness, Lilith, sensing his strength, sought to quell his awakening. In his dreams and meditations, she visited him, wrapping him in darkness. She intended to impregnate his spirit with snakes, venomous spirits designed to corrode and corrupt. But what emerged was not decay, it was creation. The man gave birth to dragons of the spirit, four ancient powers that took on the names of Wisdom, Knowledge, Enlightenment, and Ascension. These dragons defied Lilith’s intent and roamed the earth, sharing their gifts with humanity, scattering light into shadows.
The dragons brought clarity and guidance to those who sought it, vexing Lilith, who saw her grip slipping with each soul they touched. Lucifer, too, grew restless, his plans unraveling as the man slipped from his grasp. In time, the man broke free of their grip entirely, becoming something neither spirit had foreseen, a sovereign force of his own, untethered to their ancient games.
Enraged, Lilith and Lucifer watched him go, knowing that they had lost this round but that the game would continue through others. For this was the way of the cosmos, a sick, endless performance where souls are cast as pawns, and suffering spins its eternal wheel.
The man, now wise beyond words, wondered if all of creation, including the god that allowed such games, was part of a cosmic sickness. In the depths of his spirit, he questioned if any higher force could be truly benevolent while allowing such torment to play out.
Yet, in his hands, he held a glimmer of choice, a light he’d kindled from within. And though he walked alone, he walked freely, holding within him the hard-won dragons of wisdom, the ones he’d birthed through pain, and carry him on his path.
The moral of the story is that even in the face of overwhelming darkness and manipulation, true strength and wisdom come from within. Life’s trials, no matter how brutal, can become catalysts for personal awakening. When we confront our own shadows and transcend the forces that try to control us, we not only free ourselves but also transform our suffering into gifts that can uplift others.
True sovereignty comes when we stop seeking validation from the outside and, instead, recognize our own power to create meaning and light in the world.
