The Eye That Never Sleeps - Dhormorth by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)

 

With the music :Vyapada by Secession Studios

  

youtu.be/GrwH4TtOQug?t=42

  

A figure moves slowly in the shadows, like a black cloak that spreads wherever it goes, in a space of time between the past and the future, which few can distinguish amidst the mists of an uncertain destiny.

Dhormorth ... a former guardian and master of the last Dark Sorcerers of Krudhyn, with the power to pass invisible they are only detectable by their shadow ... a dark legend that many prefer to remain lost in the labyrinth of times.

 

Without a body and much less a face, it seems to move with the breezes of the winter evenings before the storms, insinuating itself into men's thoughts and feeding their most hidden and secret dark desires ... and fears.

Legend has it that the Sorcerers are blind and always walked with a black crow with feathers with highlights of metallic blue, which are their eyes.

Truth or lie... what is certain is that black crows have been seen more frequently in recent times in the kingdom, as bad omens that foreshadow dark times...

One of the Orders, The Black Order Of Krudhyn has became very powerful even in the closest interments of the rule of the kingdom.

 

Some of their disciples and masters have never revealed their darkest secrets but there are rumors occasionally that they intend to bring to life again an ancient and powerful God King, Krunth or the Winged King who is petrified in his rock tomb.

 

According to ancient writings it may be resurrected through the Sphere of the Reborn, a mystical orb whose existence is only referred to in Deathor's Black Book ... but they must discover the Temple of the Armillary Spheres of Copper lost in the memories of time ...

With a voice hissing like a snake, the monster turning to the two Lady Guardians which however recede a few steps behind:

 

- Ah! Ah! Do you think that I'm afraid of the Coreoleans Masters or the granddaughter of a Dahrm ... you are ordinary mortals!

 

- I have seen many bitches as you ! - responds telepathically Ahryadhe without moving his lips, as do all Coreoleans.

 

The two Ladies recede a little more as they prepare to fight for their own life.

Two large elites dominated in the past, but antagonistic in balance, The Archanes Of Krohn and The Archanes Of Ordh, the first Dark Lords, the seconds Lords Of Light ... but this balance is long lost ... the Light has lost luster with the passing of time ...

It portrays the pressure imposed by society and the norms that we must obey, in order to be worthy to reside this planet and to be accepted as a respectable person. The suffering state felt by many human beings when they find that to achieve what they desire they often have to cancel themselves, thus bowing down to society. They mix with society because by doing it and being "normal" is the only possible way to have a successful life. While camouflaging in a society that does not respect difference or the true freedom of expression, (as this can be done in countless ways), the identity is canceled, ceasing to feel worthy leading you to believe that your true SELF can not exist and has no value. In this way, "he" creates an acceptable character to survive in "his" day-to-day life.

And in the frosty seas of the north, tumultuous storms and icy winds will blow through the trumpets announcing again the Kingdom of Loki.

And the storms will stir up the oceans and awaken the nightmares of Men, through numbing howls and mountains of ice that rip the seas..

 

Large ice kingdoms that sail like aimless gods will destroy the black towers that human greed has raised to bleed the earth. And neither Thor nor Poseidon will be able to calm the fury of the waves that fall in the seas of Kalaallit Nunaat nor the restless souls of Atlantis.

 

But also in the South Seas, in the Gulf of the Black Towers the Hurricanes will wake up again The Oil Monsters that sleep deep and the oceans will become dark as night, dark as death that will cover with its mantle beaches and creatures of the sea.

 

And in the last silent twilight, empires of greed will then plunge with their Black Towers in the darkness of the nights and days ... the world will no longer want its Kingdom of shadows !

The Twenty-Third Ion Prophecy - The Dust Storms by Daniel Arrhakis (2019)

 

With the music : Audiomachine- Wilderness Howl (2019 Epic Dark Gothic Battle Orchestral)

 

youtu.be/ZMGTE9SAoIE

  

The Twenty-Third Ion Prophecy

 

And after the burning forests and the drying fields,

after the storms that dragged the hills to the sea,

after the scorching sun that burned the fields and the crops,

the winds hissed through the desert dunes and across the great lakes that dried up, raising the dust of oblivion.

Neither guards nor coverings came to protect the lifeless lands nor the tribes of man.

And the great sandstorms have crossed deserts and oceans, and the dust will cover the folly and greed of mankind hiding their faces and eyes turned to prayers to the heavens who will not listen, for now only hunger and death will hear them.

 

_______________________________________________

 

A Vigésima Terceira Profecia de Ion

 

E depois das florestas que arderam e dos campos que secaram,

depois das tempestades que arrastaram as colinas até ao mar,

depois do sol escaldante que queimou os campos e as colheitas,

os ventos silvaram por entre as dunas dos desertos e por entre os grandes lagos que secaram levantando as poeiras do esquecimento.

E nem as protecções ou as coberturas chegaram para proteger as terras sem vida nem as tribos do homem.

E as grandes tempestades de areia atravessaram desertos e oceanos, e o pó cobrirá a insensatez e a cobiça da Humanidade escondendo os rostos e os olhos voltados para as preces aos céus que de nada servirão, pois agora só a fome e a morte os escutará.

sleep paralysis

–– the frightening sensation of being unable to move in a stage between wakefulness and sleep.

 

(this is dedicated to back in June when I had this weird, creepy dream where I froze completely and at the same time I felt myself going stiff and couldn't move).

Portrays the way that most of us, human beings, live life. The majority of us are just bodies that inhabit the planet earth. We, simply, live in between. Between the desire to ascend, to be what we always aimed for but, now, are afraid of not being capable of and to not meet the expectations that we set ourselves. Thus, we decide to seize to something safe, that doesn’t make us happy.

On the other side, there is the darkest part, the one where no one wants to let themselves fall because probably they won’t come back from it. In it, reside the fears, the more deepest feelings, all that we camouflaged. All that we left to deal with later, was purposely left to sink deeper and deeper, in the hope we wouldn’t have to dive into them again.

So, we decided to live in between both worlds, one that we always wished for and the other that we never even want to experience. We go through life walking in the middle, just and only, existing.

It portrays the state of spirit felt by many human beings. An empty on the inside, where nothing makes sense, making them not knowing where to go, or what to do. Leads them to a state where they do not know who they are anymore, where they stop believing in themselves. It’s like if they were a dry flower, already old, in a field burned by the sun, without life, which allows to be taken by the strong wind, without hesitate, without fighting, because they are not sure if that is their place. Perhaps with the hope to find themselves or an answer during the journey. This state of spirit let the human being without emotions, apathic, allowing life passing right in front of their eyes without trying to grab it. The strenght went with the wind, which tries to show them that they are alive, still. But, not even this shakes helps, because there is no more strenght in them to grab something, where even the simple act of screaming vanished. This beings let themselves being taken and like that every little piece of their being abandon them. In the end, perhaps, it is all fault of the wind.

The Times To Times Nine Old Dark Spirits arise to seize the power of Men and reopen the Pandora's Box.

 

Of the seven continents appeared Nine Shadows who took the world again to the Mists of the Past, seven War Emperors first and two Incendiary Queens after.

 

They will ascend on palms by the free will of the peoples and will promise new times and populate the earth with hatred, indifference and lies. They raised the mists of mistrust and fear to cloud the restless spirits and sow hatred.

 

They will be reborn from the old empires and will raise the old armies again through storms and lands desolated by hunger and misery.

 

And fanaticism will grow among the stones of the deserts and the words of false scriptures, the doubting of the blind prophets and the oratory of false poets.

 

The wolf packs will be reunited again to divide kingdoms and to conquer riches while the fires of Rome and the old empires light again.

 

They will again persecute the righteous and the innocent, imprison and kill the artists and men of words. They will exterminate the creatures of Gaia and set fire to the forests of the last tribes.

 

But before the ashes the courage will be born again, after the storm clouds the sun's rays will appear and among the fallen flowers will be born again the seeds of a new World that will finally see the Light in all its splendor.

 

And what was written will not happen because courage and love ultimately lived well in the hearts of Men ... if they want ... and so God wills !

O Conselho dos Nove - A Primeira Profecia de Ion

 

De tempos a tempos Nove Antigos Espíritos Das Trevas surgem para tomar o poder dos Homens e reabrir a Caixa de Pandora.

 

Dos sete continentes aparecerão Nove Sombras que levarão o Mundo novamente para as brumas do passado, sete Imperadores da Guerra primeiro e duas Rainhas Incendiárias depois.

 

Eles ascenderão em palmas pelo livre arbítrio dos povos e prometerão novos tempos mas povoarão a terra com ódio, indiferença e mentiras. Eles levantarão as sombras da desconfiança e do medo para obscurecer os espíritos inquietos e semear o ódio.

 

Eles renascerão dos antigos impérios e ressuscitarão os antigos exércitos por entre tempestades e terras desoladas pela fome e a miséria.

 

E o fanatismo crescerá entre as pedras dos desertos e as palavras das falsas escrituras, a dúvida dos profetas cegos e a Oratória dos falsos poetas.

 

As alcateias de lobos serão reunidas novamente para dividir reinos e conquistar riquezas enquanto os fogos de Roma e dos antigos impérios se iluminam novamente.

 

Eles perseguirão novamente os justos e os inocentes, aprisionarão e matarão os artistas e os homens das palavras. Eles irão exterminar as criaturas de Gaia e incendiar as florestas das últimas tribos.

 

Mas antes das cinzas a coragem nascerá de novo, após as nuvens de tempestade os raios do sol aparecerão e entre as flores caídas nascerão de novo as sementes de um novo Mundo que finalmente verá a Luz em todo o seu esplendor.

 

E o que foi escrito não acontecerá, porque a coragem e o amor, em última análise, viverão bem no fundo dos corações dos homens ... se eles quiserem ... e assim Deus o desejar!
