Eternal Red Sky

Mother Chaos said to the Void of Nothing,

"I claim this Child of Fate as my firstborn"

She held her son with utmost care

A gift given,

discarded as being unworthy,

but for a mother without a son,

the most precious gift

With her refusal of taking a daughter,

no firstborn was given

to the Queen Mother

The Universe

blesses all True Names found,

over and over again

Chance is given

for all who hold their Truth

Beliefs that remains without rewards,

held beyond the moment

is a Truth revealed

As She looked down

at her quiet son

the Mother embraced

the moment

Red Gemini's True Name was,

"to be mother to a son."

 

She felt grateful

and thanked Mother Universe

The ancient covenant was completed

with gratitude for a gift given freely

---

---

Mother held her son

Chaos felt wonder in the One moment

The moment would be with her

beyond this One moment

and out into her Eternity

Her role as mother

started with concern

She saw the first name given

weakborn was his True Name

Child of Fate was his second

Chaos' eyes widened in shock

She could not decipher

his Trinity Name

The remaining names were many

12 names of Grey humility

12 names of Blue Strength

in alternating rhythm for balance

The Child of Fate's name

was imbalanced

His fate of weakness

made him unique

with his many names of strength

The child was weak

with no innate ability

from his father's first claim

Chaos still had her Red Name to give

In silence She cared

for the weakest son

of all firstborns sons and daughter,

of the Ancient Tribes

of Children of White Sands

Chaos dared not speak

Her son must not feel weak

She thought with concern

After the first few months,

no answer was found

In silence

She cared for the Last Watcher

---

The child waited patiently for his Name

His first moments as weakborn

taught him to remain silent

Under the First Tree

he was sheltered,

remaining silent

and watching the Creature

The Child would not forget,

for the Ancient was Absolute

He existed in all Time

and in every moment,

even to those He spoke to

Three days left alone held dangers

 which Grey Angels could not protect

They had to serve during the day

to keep a promise to seve

the Dragon King

Given the Name weakborn,

his first environment was the Wilderness,

where every creature roamed wild

to keep the natural balance

The weak do not survive in the Wilderness

All creatures sensed the orphan's weakness

but could not find him because of his silence

The Garden was created

to shelter the weak,

to give them a second chance

The weak are guests in the Garden

They must find their courage,

and Test their worth outside

There was One Creature

who spoke to him

The Ancient

that protected the First Tree

the Nothing said with amusement

"I will give you shelter this once"

"Three days,

no more,

no less"

"If you survive after,

 you must face my Test of Worth,

to prove if you were worthy

of my first garden"

The weakborn remained silent

and watched with curiosity

As long as the Child of Fate

embraced silence,

peace was made for 3 days

between the weak and Ancient

The Creature would not strike

When the child

was finally picked up frantically

by the Messenger Angel

and taken to safety

the Ancient Creature imparted His Name

The Child of Fate saw the creature

reveal himself to bless his Name

The covenant was completed

with a warm laugh

from the carried child

He thanked the Ancient

for allowing his ask

to not strike him

as a guest under the First Tree

The Name given

by the Ancient

for the silence embraced

"Peace"

A curse was placed in the Name

The weakborn would be drawn into a war

to test the blessing imparted

the Nothing did not think this One

would break his Name given

---

Chaos looked down at her son

He would eventually return

to the Land of Fire & Sand

Trust would be broken often

It may break his trust in Self

Faith in oneself can be lost

And so Mother Chaos

made the hard choice

One cannot learn trust

from one they trusted

She decided to break the trust

through Destiny

From an eve that would break him

until her son would understand

"Always trust conditionally"

Mother's Word is Law

The Child of Fate looked up

He saw his Mother's face saddened,

and tried to ease her pain

The Child of Fate smiled warmly

Mother Chaos did not smile back

She knew the hard ask She was giving

---

Queen Red Wolf decided on his Name

With her son's imbalance of names

imbalance would find balance

She did not care of duty placed on him

She would teach him a different path

Chaos would teach him to embrace Self

Though the king did not claim him,

a first Name given was a claim of first

Her only son would feel a harsh Winter

With a roll of the dice,

Mother Chaos decided to name her son

A Red Name worthy to outlast

the Blue Winter bestowed on him

Mother Chaos finally spoke

She whispered her blessing

in the ear of the Child of Fate

"Find your Best within"

"I give you a Name of Fate"

Her son smiled with gratitude

The Ancient Covenant

was sealed with his thanks

in the form of a warm laugh

---

Mother Chaos started to teach

Lessons began with actions first,

then words once he spoke

Six years he was taught

with only one teacher

The tribe of two,

of mother and son

had only each other

as the seasons passed with simplicity

There was much joy shared

The weakness remained,

untested of strength

His lesson was only to find his best

There was no others to compare,

but to follow the teachings of his Mother

The first thing Chaos taught,

"Always try your Best"

"No retreat or surrender"

"Find the will

to overcome all challenges"

Her son nodded in understanding

He asked,

"What should I be?"

She simply said,

"Be the Best you can be"

"Follow your interest,

go towards curiosity"

"Avoid purpose and just be"

He was confused and asked,

"But what of my duty

to stop the fire from the Children?"

She shook her head amused

"The more you try to change others,

the more it changes you"

"No matter how much

you think it will help,

change comes from within"

"Avoid the temptation

of influencing others"

"Influence only Self,

to find the Best within"

"You only have one life

in the Land of Fire and Sand"

"Do not catch

the fires of others"

She continued with firm intent.

"The temptation

of influencing others,

even with your best,

is one paved with gold intentions

that will lead you astray"

The child asked confused,

"How will I know

if I am doing the right thing"

Chaos answered

"Follow your Best within"

"Best effort is Best intention"

"Let it be is your North Star"

"Do not complicate"

"You will know right and wrong

from your experiences"

"Never lose trust in Self"

"Once lost,

it may never return"

"If there is an ask

that compromises your Self,

deny without compromise"

"Focus only of

trying your Best"

"Think of nothing else"

"Find your direction

and purpose will follow"

The son looked puzzled,

 "How will I know

if it is the right direction"

She smiled

Chaos placed her hand

over his heart

"You will know

when you know"

"Do not concern yourself

of control"

"Simply be

and you can do no wrong"

"As long as you follow

the Name I gave you"

The Child of Fate smiled warmly

"I will find my best for you"

She returned the smile

with a joyful laugh,

but made sure to correct

"Find your best for no one

but for your own"

"Push the limit

of the Best within"

"Do no try to expand the boundary,

only within the limitations"

"When you find your Self,

ignore the useless,

stay focused"

He asked confused

"Won't I miss something if I ignore?"

Chaos gave a knowing smile

"When you know,

you know"

Mother said humorously

He nodded and obeyed

---

---

After six years of imparting her wisdom,

Mother Chaos taught him all She could

She would guide her son in other ways

Chaos needed to prepare

for the coming Tide

As the morning sun rose,

her favorite time to see the sky,

the red light basked warmly

against her face

A new day dawned

Queen Red Wolf took in the moment

She looked down at her son

who waited patiently

Mother Chaos whispered a secret to him

The boy's eyes widened with joy

He asked, "Is it that simple?"

She smiled with love in return

"That is all you need"

"I will be there"

"No matter what"

The Dragon of Fire asked

"But how is that possible?"

She brushed his hair back

as the day awakened

"I am mother to a son"

"That means I will never leave you"

"You are my True son"

"You are a Nomad"

"Wherever you go,

that is your home"

"You can find me

within your home"

"You are a Dragon of Fire"

"Find your own Fate"

"I will be with you,

no matter what"

"Do your best son,

that is all I ask of you"

---

Mother Chaos decided her son

needed to learn from others

He needed peers

She did not teach him the Pyrrhic Dance

since he needed to focus on his Fate

Mother Chaos started the journey

holding his hand,

walking towards the Lion's pride

Her son stumbled with the walk

She did not help as he slowed the journey

Chaos only waited until he could reach her,

with no judgment in his weakness

The Child of Fate grew stronger

No longer able to hold her hand often,

he followed his Mother as best he could

The weakborn son

would need to grow strong without help,

so he could stand on his own

---

The King was startled to see her appear

with a young son who looked tired

He felt her strength and dared not deny her

He asked,

"What may I do for you Queen?"

She said simply

"I want my son to test his worth

against your son"

This was the first time the Child of Fate

saw his Mother impose her will

He did not know how strong She was

until he saw her among others

All the Angels gathered to show respect

The King looked at the boy closer

He did not look strong,

still weak

The strongest Blue Angel

saw the boy and smiled

She blessed him with her Name.

"Willpower"

The child did not cower underneath

the Dragon of Blue Winter's gaze

She admired how this Queen raised him

She felt the strength of her will

to be stronger than her own

The King asked,

"How frequently

would you like them to Test?"

The Queen Red answered,

"Every day"

The king paused

"My son cannot

dance the spears every day"

The Queen nodded,

"I understand"

 

"Would you allow a rotation

of all 24 followers to teach him?"

The King did not see a problem with that.

"My son can fight him on the 25th day"

The Queen did not smile

"I would like it

every13th day for your son"

"I would like my son to train

against Greys and Blues each day"

The King was shocked

The boy did not look strong enough

He replied,

with a roll of the dice,

to challenge the Queen's ask

"If your son quits,

or if my Angels judge

that he is wasting their time,

I have the right to cancel this ask"

Without any insult felt,

Queen Wolf of Red nodded in return

The bargain was struck

With only the faintest pride,

She said,

"My son will not quit,

and this training will go on

until the final test at eighteen"

The King was shocked

To keep that sort of training

was a lot of belief in her weak son

He felt her strength in her eyes

and thought no more

With respect he nodded

"The training starts tomorrow,"

the Queen commanded

"I ask to live within your Tribe

from time to time"

The king nodded immediately,

and asked with curiosity,

"Will you return home?"

She shook her head

"I must go to the other Tribes"

"My land is of no use"

"I must travel to the Ancient Tribe,

to make a covenant between my son

and a daughter worthy of him"

All the Angels were alarmed

The Ancient Tribe

did not make peace with Dragons

The Messenger Angel

was about to protest

but the Queen's gaze kept her in place

The King asked with curiosity,

"And if they break the covenant?"

Queen Chaos answered

without hesitation

"A Great Flood to their Pack"

"If they break a covenant made

their Tribe will be cursed with shame"

As if an afterthought the Queen said,

"Order has favored your Tribe

without any concern for the others"

"He should know better

to cause such an imbalance"

"I must help guide for balance"

The King was shocked

at how easily she named the Creator

He simply nodded

"Will you visit the Second Tribe,

your Sister Queen Red?"

Mother Chaos nodded

"Her Firstborn daughter

will be important"

The King nodded and worried about a Name

that would be claimed only by daughters

"Do you have any idea what name it will be?"

The Queen chuckled,

"It will be misinterpreted on purpose

by the red daughters"

"They will try to change it

for their own benefit"

"They must learn to accept their new role"

"They must help the sons

or else the Eternal Black Sky will shatter"

"The Final Age is coming"

"Third Creations must be worthy

to be remembered"

"And if not?" The King asked

The Queen seemed to know

of the coming Tide

Mother Chaos answered indifferently

"A New Age would begin,

built on ruin"

---

---

Mother and son were given shelter,

within the First Tribe of Blue Lion

Grey Angels embraced their Queen

with adoration and rejoiced

at seeing their firstborn

The Child of Fate felt family of All

and celebrated with joy

The Messenger Angel

embraced the Child of Fate

She gave him a gift

The First Tree

shed a piece of Itself

A staff was made

from a limb of the First Tree

The Dragon of Fire said,

"It is from the good tree"

The Humblest Angel nodded

"It was from when you were

a lord of the good tree

for those three days you remained safe"

She blessed him with her Name,

when she picked him up

before the Ancient could strike

There was great fear

in seeing the Creature

She was told He disappeared

She felt shock at seeing the Ancient

The Messenger Angel

felt both fear and wonder

The Nothing had appeared in form

She ran as fast as she could

with the lord

The Messenger Angel

made sure not to look back

as she heard the Child of Fate laughing

The Name she gave him on that day

"good speed"

---

Mother Chaos sat next to her son

and gave him instructions before She left

"Do your Best with your training,

they will teach your limits"

"Find the Best within

like you taught yourself"

"Can I use the staff

so no harm is done?"

he asked

The Mother was amused but nodded

"Yes, but they will use spears

and harm you"

The Dragon of Fire

seemed undisturbed

He wanted to test the staff

given from the Ancient

Mother Chaos continued

"Learn all you can"

"Follow their ways

until you understand the dance"

"You must find your strength

by getting back up every time"

"Experiencing weakness reveals strength,

but only if you refuse to stay down"

"The first times will be the hardest,

ignore the urge to quit and rise up"

"Never stay on bended knee,

no matter what"

"Each Angel will teach you

something new to master,

they will be patient with you"

Chaos paused before saying,

"This is important"

Her son nodded as he listened

"Never believe

you are better than anyone"

"You are only trying

to better your Self"

"Find your own way

after you learned all you can"

The unclaimed blue lion asked,

"How will I know

when that happens?"

His teacher answered

"You will want to try something new,

follow it and keep trying your way"

"Find your style"

"No matter what,

keep trying"

"That is your Way

that you are creating

that becomes natural"

Chaos placed her hand

over his heart

"That is your

to be,

 revealing

I am,

through practice"

"Never stop practicing"

"Just listen to your Self"

"Believe in your Self"

The Child of Fate nodded

without understanding

He would remember

when the time came

Mother Chaos saw he listened

She told him the last lesson needed

of the pride her son did not know of

They were a Tribe of Two,

avoiding community

He knew nothing

of pride of comparison

He would be different

among others

"When you fight the Alpha,

learn only how he fights

without trying to defeat him"

"So I lose on purpose?"

he asked puzzled

"No, learn the pride he has,

so you can master

how to defeat your own pride"

Queen Red warned

"If you win,

the traiining ends"

"Learn everything you can

and enjoy the dance"

"But I will be beaten,"

he said dismayed

"That is what you are learning,

improve with each new defeat"

"The point is not to win,

but to learn"

"Do not try to solve

with action in winning,

solve what could have

defeated him"

The Child of Fate nodded

and smiled warmly

"What am I looking for?"

The Mother Chaos smiled

"Luck"

"With each loss

you will see beyond your own pride,

which is instilled in all."

"Anger and pride

will be tempered until all that remains

is your clear focus"

"It will make you see luck

if you find the value

of the loss"

"You will experience

creating your own victory"

The boy laughed

and was happy at a game

he would always play

---

And so the boy improved

with each lesson

he got back up faster

The Child Fate trained

with the staff for first 12 days

Red strength attacks under the sun

Grey humility defense under the moon

On the 13th day

he learned luck in defeat

Omega remained weak

to the Alpha brother

He danced with a shield only

to ensure he would never win

He was puzzled

but fought him as was requested

by his Father

Everyday the Dragon of Winter Fire

trained until his eighteenth year

He combined all that he learned

on his final test against his brother

With the staff in his left hand

and the shield with his right

the Dragon of Fire smiled with joy

He would never feel defeat again

The Child of Fate

mastered his own Luck
