Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” ....

There were once two. Man and Beast venturing throughout samsara. One starts out desperately wishing to be acknowledged—to be seen not as a useless thing, but as someone who can eventually have a stake in the world, and more importantly, in their own life. Only to eventually… Sever it all. The other wants merely to live a quiet, peaceful life, surrounded by those he deems family and friends—to live without disturbance and with few attachments, out of a deep fear of suffering. And yet, he does something ever contradictory: he chooses to… Embrace it all. Until eventually— The ground trembles with their every step. The stars dim their lights to avoid being seen. Azure Pearl:Eastern Sky “I have traveled through this world, bound by the manacles of karma. I have lit the Nine Lanterns; incorporated the Five Aggregates; accepted the karmic causes impressed upon myself. And at last… I have formed the ever-desired ‘Me’… Yet, to step beyond the cosmos— Sever your karma. Douse the Nine Lanterns. Dissolve the Five Aggregates. Relinquish even the truth you have discovered. Extinguish your concept of Me. Do not desperately grasp at the ever-changing self. Only then will you truly become whole.” Scarlet Agate:Western Earth “I have traveled through this world, bound by the chains of karma. I have set ablaze the Nine Lanterns. I have experienced hunger, deprivation, satiety, hope, grief, and acceptance, all led by the Six Sense Bases. And now, through a myriad of causes and conditions, I am my desired ‘I’… Yet all things born from cause must change. All things arisen from conditions must twist into something new. The body rots. The world drifts through the eternal encompass of space. Mountains crumble, only to reform anew. The very stars' opaline lights dim. Even memories will not be left untouched. So I shall not sever what ties me. Let the Nine Flames burn until their very last flicker of life. Let every bond, every loss, every feeling leave a scar. I will neither preserve yesterday nor fear the future. If all things born from cause must change, then in my inexorable pursuit of power— I shall change to no end, too.” The corrupt thrive in an epoch of fragility, while civilisations across the world are crushed beneath the weight of impermanence. But you must not merely seek the truth. Live it. Walk through the suffering of your predecessors. Understand their suffering. Embody it. Do not repeat their mistakes. Uncover the truth buried within the Dark Ages, but do not make the world relive them. This burden is yours. And yours alone to bear.
