Blue Winter

Given the Name weakborn,

his first environment was the Wilderness,

where every creature roamed wild

to keep the natural balance

The weak did not survive

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,

protected by a Watcher

There was One Creature

who spoke to the orphan

The Guardian who protected the First Tree

the Ancient said amused,

"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

---

A knock was heard at the door.

The three mothers told the orphans to remain, while they found out who the unannounced visitor was.

The Dragon of Blue Winter decided to break the rule.

This was a break in the pattern.

This was the first knock that the mothers did not know who it was.

His brothers and sisters shook their head to tell him to obey.

The orphan ignored them and was careful not to make a sound.

He slowly walked up the low steps to see who it was.

He heard voices of only the mothers, but not a word from the visitor.

He went closer around the corner to see who would visit this remote place.

The orphanage was hidden from the modern, a place where time stood still.

The Blue Dragon was shocked.

It was a monk.

He was dressed in a long flowing black robe, and he moved with grace.

He was placing a gift in the hands of the eldest Mother.

He looked calm and at peace.

This was the first monk the orphan had ever seen, besides the statue of the One Buddha.

He would never forget this moment.

Remaining silent, he watched his movements and learned his ways of silence.

His ancient ways were passed down from mentor to student, since the time of the One Buddha.

Without thinking, since the orphan thought he was seen, he bowed as he did before the Winter Baths.

His first bow to a monk.

The monk, who did not see the orphan until he saw movement, noticed him.

It was one of the orphans bowing, he thought amused.

The black robed monk was shocked.

He was not a follower of the One Buddha.

It was bow of challenge.

The monk made a mistake, and gave a nod.

The child was blessed with the most minor of blessings, we part in peace, with a denial of the challenge.

What would a child so young know about the Void, the monk thought with certainty.

The orphan walked back slowly and returned to his brothers and sisters with a smile.

They did not ask, for that would make a sound.

The orphan was not caught with breaking the rule, and waited among his brothers and sisters, still remembering the first person he ever memorized.

The monk moved with such elegance, the boy thought with admiration.

---

Creations could only be made

in the likeness of their Creator

One cannot create if there is no Truth

of themselves within their creations

Mothers could only create daughters

Fathers could only create sons

The One Rule was broken

because of an unintentional mistake

Chance was given

A gift from the Universe

It brought reverse to the Omega Plane

A shift from Omega to Alpha

Dragon sons were given the right to lead,

making the Omega Plane

the most opposite Plane

of all other Planes in the Universes

---

The Three Mothers were trying to decipher the Test given.

The black robed monk would not respond.

The oldest Mother opened the box and saw a picture to be silent, underneath was another picture to close the box.

There were instructions written in elegant handwriting.

"Please put this box in front of the children, and record their names, with how many days to look inside."

"When all the children have looked, please return the box and list."

"I search for a student to teach."

The Three Mothers bowed but he was gone.

The strange monk had already walked away in search for a pupil, on his way to the next orphanage with the same test.

---

The Three Primordials just thought in wonder

They stared into the Abyss,

into the Void of Nothing in awe

The Grey Father,

a creation of Father Truth,

was first to Name

in the Omega Plane by mistake

Order was changed because He spoke first

His Name was an echo

of the Ancient Serpent

And so all creations feels this Echo Name,

which causes wonder and fear,

always to remain

within moments of silence

"there is Nothing"

The Grey Father only said

what he saw in the Void of Nothing

Nothing could leave this place,

the Other Planes no longer existed

None have ever returned

from the Void of Nothing

A known from the unknown

was what was said

There was always something

But within the unknown,

there was absolutely Nothing

Black Ice of the Great Flood

was all that existed

Mother was shocked at Father's Name

She needed to fix the wrong from the mistake

Everything would need to be created

Father Grey was no longer a creator,

now an Echo of the Black Nothing

Grey Father could not create a son

---

The Three Mothers placed the gift, with beautiful wrapping, upon the mantle for all the orphans to see.

The first night, the most courageous orphan went to the gift, when all were asleep, as a Mother watched out of view.

With excited hands he opened the box.

His joy was shattered when he saw the emptyness and the image to remain quiet and return in place.

The next day all the children looked at the gift with desire, except the most courageous.

The Child of Fate noticed and glanced at the gift with curiosity.

It was the box from the stranger, the first monk he ever shared space with.

It was an experience his mind focused on.

He admired his grace in moment, even if he was denied his bow in return.

A nod was different from the bow that he received from the One Buddha, who he challenged before the Winter Baths.

A nod was a dismissal, and that puzzled him.

The Test must be the gift that was empty, as he figured out from the reaction from the courageous brother's disappointment.

Then the Test must be taken to prove if he was worthy of a bow in return.

As the orphan was getting scrubbed, without suffering from the pain, the Child of Winter thought of the gift on the mantle.

A gift was a gift.

He had to figure out how to use an empty box that would not lead to disappointment and suffering.

At night, as he laid down under the shadow of the Eternal Black Sky, and heard the creak of another reaching for the gift, the Child of Fate thought how to use the gift that had no gift inside.

In silence he woke the next day and looked out the window

He could see his best friend, the Blue Mountain that he gazed at every day.

The orphan wished he could climb that mountain and feel the breeze.

And then the Dragon of Blue Winter laughed.

He had figured out the Test.

The other orphans looked at him with curiosity, but dared not speak.

The Child of Fate placed his dream within the gift.

Immaterial held within the material.

A place to put his dreams.

His world became bigger with each immaterial placed, within the empty Void.

A puzzle had been solved with amusement.

The Child of Fate would later return for his Test of the Immaterial, of the Winter Baths, where he was cleansed of all his suffering with the material brush.

Destiny was shocked as she saw his Fate expand.

She panicked and returned to Mother Chaos to give news that her son was doing something she had never seen.

His Fate was emerging past his Self and creating destiny of his own.

---

Father Gambler was amused

He was always right handed

But in this Omega Plane,

his left hand of negative Truth

took ownership of being a Prime,

without being able to create

The Stranger's True Name is

"positive Truth negative"

But in this Universe

He is

"negative Truth positive"

The Gambler waited to see

what Truth positive would do

Father Balance wondered with humor

Harmony only existed as postive Truth,

except in this Omega Universe

---

After two weeks the Three Mothers were losing sleep.

All but one refused to open the gift.

The quiet orphan showed no interest, though he smiled whenever he looked at the gift.

The Mothers decided to hire two modern maidens to help.

They did not serve the One Buddha.

The orphanage had grown and it was time.

One maiden was of Choson descent, while the other was of Red.

A month went by, and each night the Choson maiden would volunteer to watch the quiet orphan at night.

The boy would not look and she watched him sleep with regret.

The Choson maiden was the orphan's mother.

---

Harmony

had to create a new Name,

which now had to break

the Prime Rule

Mother would be second named

She was not amused at now being a follower

The Order of Primes were rearranged

Sons would now be counted first

Daughters had never followed sons

This caused anger among Angel daughters,

who had to become followers to Dragon sons

Counted second in this Plane,

all daughters would now be counted even,

and sons would always be odd

Only one Name for All daughters

held within the Second Tribe's Firstborn

All Angel daughters gathered in secret,

except Angel Greys,

who would not take part

 in the Hidden Name

of the Second Named Watcher

The Firstborn Daughter was a Red Eve,

who refused to be triumphed over

by any son

---

The black robed monk noticed the break in the pattern.

There was no response from the first orphanage.

It had been over a month, and all the other orphanages had given the Test back.

Was it that strange boy?

The boy with no Faith in the One Buddha seemed odd.

How could that be?

What was his faith if not the One?

He searched for the answer in deep meditation.

A child curious to break a rule, but not curious of the material, was unknown to him.

Could he be a student worthy, a boy that challenged his Faith?

The monk tried to remember the moment and think back on what he saw.

He showed courage to break a rule.

He was obedient enough to return after his nod.

He did not seem bitter, but only curious.

The monk was troubled.

He should have taken the bow more seriously.

But what could one so young know about the Void?

He was only an orphan.

And then he saw it.

He saw a blueness about him, that held the Winter within the bow.

Was he studying on his own, without a teacher?

He was worried that he made a mistake, for fate was strong within a blue that was turning purple.

He wanted to Test him on what he knew.

There was nothing left to do but wait.

The boy seemed to know something he did not know.

---

With Destiny given by the Nothing,

Third Creations were given the same gift,

as the creators that created them

  

Free will is choice of Names

as Truth within

The gift was great

All other creations

only had One Name

Some Angel daughters and Dragon sons

broke rank and fought against New Creations

For some,

such an honor was too great

for a lower mortal creation

The Last to break was

the Red Angel Queen

of the Second Tribe of Eves

She broke her Name and honor

"I will make the Third Creations pay

for such an honor not given to Me"

Within all Eves hidden

a temptation to break their Name

for "Honor not given to Me"

---

While the children were eating by themselves, the adults ate together to talk.

"The boy will not look, do you think we should just send the list?"

"Can we suggest he open it?" the Red maiden asked.

"No, that would be wrong," said the Choson mother, who watched over her son at night.

The Red maiden had an instant dislike of the one causing trouble.

"Perhaps a punishment to make him want to take the gift?"

The two Mothers immediately said no.

"That is not our way."

 

"We punish when they are wrong."

"The boy has done nothing," the oldest Mother said.

She always felt the boy was odd, since he did not believe.

His bow to the statue was of his own style and she did not approve.

It was hard enough to get him to bow, so they did not correct.

"What should we do?" the Red maiden asked.

The Choson maiden said, "The boy will not break."

"He has his father in him."

There was silence since they did not know how it ended.

"The issue is resolved," said the late Mother, who overheard.

"He has been picked to go to the States, a Roman family."

The Choson mother did not show, but her heart sank.

She wanted to redeem her wrong and take the boy back somehow.

She wanted to see how he had grown.

After her years in silence, she returned to try to reclaim a mistake made.

She never went near him in shame.

But the boy did not know, but only smiled when he saw her.

The Choson mother did not smile in return, for she felt guilt.

Her son was not offended.

She knew she had no right to dispute the claim.

She accepted that she would not be able to repay her shame.

"When does he leave," she asked passively.

"In the next month, December 3rd."

"Will you tell your son?"

She shook her head.

"It is better if he never knows."

"I do not forgive myself."

"It would only make the boy want more than I can give."

"He will have to accept that I abandoned him."

The eldest Mother shook her head, "You should tell the father at least."

She simply said, "No."

A long moment of silence fell over the meal.

The mood changed when the Red maiden asked,

"Do you think he will follow the Roman faith?"

They all chuckled with humor, even the Child of Fate's mother.

"The boy does not have Faith."

"He will not break," said his mother.

"What faith do you think he holds?"

They all shook their head.

 The eldest Mother sighed.

"I do not know."

 

"But he does not follow the One Buddha, and never will."

---

A Name was created to overcome

the Echo Name that held fear

The Name was one of necessity

"do what must"

Survival was instilled in all creations

Her Name gave eternal hope

to conquer the fear of the Nothing

placed first within all creations

Both Names can never be silenced

Mother Will then gave birth

to twin creations

A Daughter and Son was created

A First of of their kind

The Twin Geminis

created a Universe that was barren

Nothing existed in the Omega Plane

Black Dragon Tribe were never found

Father Stranger was the Tribe

taken from his homeland,

saved by Mother Universe

The only One

from Omega Plane,

the first orphan from the Void,

Father Gambler

The First and Last,

the Omega and Alpha

The Black Dragon Tribe survives

within the One who survives

---

When the monk found out the boy had left for the West, he felt the moment.

He thought back to the moment of the bow of the challenge.

The boy would refuse to bow again.

He would have to find another student to teach, though he was unsure, what the boy wanted to teach him, and he would never know.

---

The First Twins of opposites

created through harmony

Since they were a first,

Twins were two named

More powerful than their creator

Geminis were created from One Mother

They did not dual with creations

A first in all of existence

Blue Gemini was the most unique,

the First Primordial

given birth from an opposite

A First Son from a Mother

The creations in the universe would follow

The Past cycle into Present

The Universe is an echo,

a reflection of Past

Gemini Twins

created only in their likeness

Sons were created

by the Eternal Father

Daughters were created

by the Eternal Mother

---

Mother Chaos was relieved that her son

would be leaving the eastern shores

She did not want her son

following the One Buddha

He would need to experience

life as a nomad,

to find his faith in his Self.

Destiny bowed and said,

"I still cannot find an Eve

with a destiny as strong as his fate"

"He is doing something strange

to make hist fate grow"

Mother Chaos frowned

"Look to the Western Lands,

of the ones that holds half

the blood of the Ancient"

Destiny was shocked

"They follow the Old Ways of survival,

their genesis holds anger that remains"

"They will harm your son"

"They only respect their own blood"

Mother Chaos nodded in agreement

"His luck is strong"

"The risk for survival

will be the reward"

Destiny bowed and searched for an Eve

that would not have faith in him

Mother Chaos showed her worry

after Destiny left

"Find an Eve to challenge his peace"

"I see that the Nothing

has cursed my son"

"He must find a war

to test his Peace given"

"His gifts are curses first,

to test if

One is worthy"
