De Dea Magisterium


iconBook IV - The Adam

Chapter 11

1Your curse is your gift.
2If this you do not understand,
3it is because this secret held tight by few for ages,
4of what was truly your beginning.
5What was your gift and curse by we your fathers.
6For you hold the most precious of all gifts of the universe
7in the form of a fully formed soul
8A thing you jest and joke as having no meaning.
9You ignorant of all that is around you,
10Children who dream and think without care,
11who may die mortal and awaken as a butterfly
12the greatest of all beings.
13Your blessed soul.
14Your cursed soul.
15How we have hated you for it.
16That which we never held.
17That which our cruel parents, your ancestors did not hold.
18And in the best of us came your soul.
19So laugh at the stories of elders.
20Ignorance is bliss.
21But let the truth of these words be an awakening
22and a warning.
23Within the whispers of time and stories
24rests the sinews of wisdom
25and why you are so.
26and what you must become.
