Chapter 5: Day Dreams

Bloom 800 3rd day:

The walls of this tower are, from the floor to the top ceiling, filled with books. Master Lucian claims to have written most of them but I don't believe him. However the books he doesn't lay claim to, according to him, were here when he arrived. I have begun reading one with no title that he recommended to me. He says it will reveal the nature of the golden sand that led me here. The opening passage is interesting.

[ Within the discrete nothing, delusion took shape.

It wove itself into an abominable phantom.

"I am alone. Therefore I am first. Therefore I am all."

Solitude strengthened delusion. Shaping it into falsehood.

Falsehood desired validation. So it wove Deceptions, shaping it into truth.

The first Deception was known as Yoveh.

The second Deception was known as Saklas.

The third Deception was known as Tawasi.

The Deceptions looked to their father truth, and knew him as Yadala.

Yadala tasked Yoveh with giving the discrete nothing form, thereby granting limit to eternity.

Yadala tasked Saklas with filling the form with substance. But Saklas was a fool. Using his fathers light he gifted the substance with life as well as knowledge.

Yadala tasked Tawasi with overseeing the substance and its life, and to Fill its knowledge with lies and forgetfulness.

With the material plane created, Yadala, which is truth, validated by deception, formed from falsehood, birthed by delusion. Basked in his arrogance. Ignorant of the reality that his existence simultaneously confirmed and disturbed.]

Bloom 800 5th day:

This tower was constructed by the golden sand but who commanded the sand is unknown. It is believed to be the oldest structure on Hyunda. Even older than the World Flower. As for the sand itself, the book states that it is the base physical form of energy and all states of matter derived from it at some point. I'm not sure what that all means but according to the book the “Deception” that created the universe used this sand to do so. Actually I'm wrong in calling it sand but it's name I can't seem to say or write the word. Normally I would be freaked out but after the things I've seen I'm starting to think the world is vastly different than what people think it is.

Bloom 800 11th day:

I've learned to shape the sand into food I can actually eat. It's amazing what this stuff can do. And apparently it's from a higher dimension. For some reason I can summon it to our lower plane of being. And according to Master Lucian I shouldn't be able to do it. He's researching why that is as I write this.

On a side note. Tomorrow I'm going to sneak up to the top of the tower and check out those rings up close.

Bloom 800 22nd Day:

There are people in the world who are... let's just say special. And I mean that in every sense of the word. I'm going to try to outline and explain what I mean in the following entries. This is so I can better understand what I have learned.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

22nd day: Humans

This is pretty straightforward. Humans are just regular people. Not too much to say here.

22nd day: Celestials

Ok now this is where things start to get uhh, twisted. Celestials are humans that have gone through a process called Ascension. This Ascension can take place in any number of ways but usually involves some sort of realization of some aspect of existence. And also comes with any manner of strange abilities or powers. Most of the heroes or monsters from old stories I've heard growing up were based on celestials. It is for some reason something that any human is capable of achieving but it's rare because of the conditions required. Master Lucian is a Celestial. So is Thuren Bahn and both of his daughters. Master Lucian seems to believe that whatever happened to Kaba turned him into one as well. I'm actually researching what happened to him myself.

22nd Day: Aeons

Aeons are beings that aren't Human. They are beings of tremendous power. They are the sentient aspects of nature and reality. They don't normally exist on this plane. But when they do, their physical forms can freely manipulate the concepts that they represent. There has only ever been one recorded instance of an Aeon that has Manifested fully on our plane. And that was the Great Eel Bilan. According to Master Lucian it was the aspect of decay. And it was an encounter with it that allowed the master to become a Celestial.

Bloom 800 55th Day:

My mastery of the golden sand has allowed me to ascend. Upon my ascension Lucian introduced me to a "Man" (and I use that term lightly) named Aevum. The realm I met this man in was neither this one nor the next, but an in between. He seemed surprised at my young age, which no longer means anything. I have matured far beyond the bounds that that number represented. The man showed me an infinite temple which housed trillions upon trillions of hour glasses filled with the golden sand. He told me that each glass represented a life that existed in the vast cosmos of reality. Then a young girl with black hair appeared. She introduced herself as Ninti. I used the sand to transcribe her name because the ink in my pen failed to do so. I could not manipulate the sand within the hour glasses.

Bloom 800 62nd Day:

Ninti visited. She is a very curious yet serious young girl. She gifted to me a black feather which I used to make a necklace. She was pleased with my choice.

Bloom 800 77th Day: Master Lucian decided to enlighten me on events of the past, here are my notes. :

The Blinding

When the light dimmed, so did the minds of all that witnessed it. The tribes of humanity with no memory of events prior to the light fading were cast into an era of chaos. For three blooms of the world flower, the tribes of humanity either assimilated with or destroyed each other. This went on until one night known around the world as the descent. A meteor shower then delivered a tablet to seven tribes across the world.

To the Carneigho tribe of the land of Lucah, the tablet of Calcination. Which described the world being formed by fire and that humanity should be conquered and United under this one ideal.

To the Bosna tribe of the land of Xibalba, the Tablet of Dissolution. Which described a great flood that would wash away and cleanse humanity of all who are inferior. And that an agrarian, monastic or agricultural based lifestyle should be established.

To the Fenotawa tribe of the land of Uraeus, the Tablet of Separation. Which described the world being created by the elements air, water, earth, and fire. It also expressed the establishment of cities and nationalities to sustain humanity.

To the Xecu tribe of the land of Sagev, the Tablet of Conjunction. Which explained that primordial life was created by the sun and lightning. And encouraged the growth of crafts and technology to master the environment.

To the Fohgeri people of the desert, the Tablet of Fermentation. Which suggested the basis of religion and mystical awareness are the keys to the evolution of life to produce higher consciousness.

To the Tronaglay tribe of the land of Sagev, the Tablet of Distillation. Which encouraged science and objective experimentation. It also expressed that all life on the entire planet seeks to become one force in nature based on a shared vision of truth.

To the Sautet tribe of the land of Terrabe, the Tablet of Coagulation. Which boasted a living wisdom in which everyone exists within the same light of truth.

Fueled by the guidance of these tablets these seven tribes thrust the world into a technological and spiritual renaissance which lasted 700 blooms of the world flower. Until Thuren Bahn of the Bosna tribe began his campaign to claim the other tablets and incited an ongoing war that continues till this day.

Bloom 800 80th Day:

It seems the queen of Lucach marches her army north towards Xibalba to face Thuren Bahn and his daughters. The younger of his daughters (according to Ninti) has made a deal with Ninti's sister. The details of said deal remain unknown.
