A Champion Has Been Chosen! (Excerpt from Children of the Luminaries Book One: The Coming Storm)

“It is done!” Mehtevas stated.

She'Sari looked at him with a mixture of curiosity and astonishment.  “You betroth the ultimate power so soon Master Mehtevas?”  It was more of a statement than an actual question.

“I have my reasons.”  Mehtevas smiled as he discreetly watched Ariadne, Fasbur and Matura whispering to each other.

She'Shari followed his gaze.  “They are not pleased with the decision.”

“Yes, well that is their choice, is it not?”

Just as She' Sari began to speak, a large red sphere swept through the room.  All but Mehtevas ducked and dodged the round red ball of light as it flew over their heads.  Hovering a moment above the center of the chamber, the sphere began to take a solid form.  In a matter of seconds a very tall dark-haired handsome man dressed in black robes stepped forth.

“Greetings esteemed members of The Pantheon…”  Looking to his left he continued, "Ariadne.”

“Greetings, Lord Demetrius!”  Mehtevas exclaimed heartily.

“You have made your choice?”  Demetrius asked with excitement.

“We have!”  Mehtevas motioned for Demetrius to step closer to the viewing globe.  “Behold!”

Demetrius’ huge smile quickly faded as he saw the image.  “You cannot be serious!”

“You see Mehtevas? Even he sees the error we have made.” Ariadne shouted.

Mehtevas put his arm around Demetrius’ broad shoulders.  “I realize you cannot see it now, but after some training and careful mentoring…”

Demetrius moved to one side.  “Lord Mehtevas you know how much I respect you, but I must protest.  This…this individual is more suited for the home and hearth, not the battlefield.”

Demetrius looked at the image once again and shook his head.  “No amount of training and mentoring could change that into a warrior!”  He put up both his hands and shook his head again.  “As much as it pains me, I find myself agreeing with Ariadne.  An error has surely been made.”

“My beloved friend, I assure you no error has been made.  You will see!”  Again, Mehtevas gestured towards the images appearing on the globe.  "Look beyond what you see here.  Beyond outward appearances.”  he urged.  “Do not be fooled by exterior beauty but instead use your power of discernment and see what lies deep inside."

Demetrius found himself mesmerized.  Taking in the energies emanating from the images, he could now feel there was something unique about this one.  More than strength and fortitude.  An energy pure and unfettered.  An energy he had not felt in eons now poured through the globe.  But there was something else.   What he could not yet comprehend.   He became lost in his thoughts for a moment.

“Yes!  Yes! " He finally agreed.  "But there will be much work involved in training this particular one."   Glancing slyly to his right, he added.  "And taking into consideration Ariadne is not known for ever being right.”  He chided with smug satisfaction, "I accept your offer to train and mentor this chosen one of The Pantheon!"  

Demetrius could not help but feel pleased with the angered look upon Ariadne’s face.  What a pitiful arrogant soul, he thought.  With renewed confidence Demetrius stepped closer to the viewing globe.  A big grin spread across his face.

“So when do I get to meet this champion of yours?”

The Chosen One: Excerpt from Children of the Luminaries Book One: The Coming Storm

They stood together a short while watching the ripples in the water made by the warm breeze.  In the east, the sun made its slow descent.  In a few hours a new day would begin.  As they stood there in silence The Oracle pondered the dragon's words.  She was certain he was mistaken.   She shuddered as a cold chill tingled up her spine.  

"An omen!"  She mumbled to herself.

Finally, Demetrius broke the long silence.  “You cannot hide from your destiny, Oracle!"  He proclaimed, his baritone voice echoed all around.   "You are more than what you believe.  But you must believe!”  Demetrius waited for a response and received none.  He then continued, “I ask you this girl, will you choose aliveness even if there are no safe places?  Or will you choose deadness?”

Utterly bewildered by his words, The Oracle shook her head and made her way back toward Sabia.  “I am no warrior,” she repeated calmly.  “You are mistaken.”

“Yes, you are.  And I am not mistaken,” he called out.  “I do not make mistakes.”

She smiled and called back sardonically, “Yes, I know.  You are very wise and very, very old.”

“Make fun if you must, Oracle, but just remember it is the will of the Pantheon.”
 
She waved back to him and disappeared behind the trees where her beloved winged unicorn waited. 

Demetrius watched until The Oracle was completely out of sight.  He rose up and extended his front claws.  A red glow engulfed him.  His serpentine body began to transform.  In a matter of seconds he transformed into a man dressed in red attire with a black flowing cape.  His wavy, black hair brushed against his forehead and fell to his shoulders, solemn brown eyes watched as the winged unicorn soared into the darkening sky with his mistress holding tightly to his silvery mane. 

“I will be with you always, Oracle,” he said softly to himself.  Then quietly, without notice, he vanished.

What Is Love? A Valentine Message from Antari

The following article was first presented to me back in 2001 by my spirit companion, Antari.

Seeing how St. Valentine's Day is a couple of weeks away, I thought I would repost it! (again)

Enjoy!

*~*~*~*~*~*

What Is Love?

The definitions of Love is as vast as the Universe itself.  It is the only emotion that has it is own Holiday (St. Valentine's day), it is the only emotion that has more songs and poems dedicated in it is name than anyone could possibly count or remember. 

But do you, as an individual, really comprehend and fully understand the true definition of Love?

Love can be found anywhere and everywhere.  And best of all,  when you least at expect it!

There are different levels of love such as love for your spouse,  your boyfriend, your girlfriend , the love you have for your parents and your assorted relatives and siblings; the love for a child, a pet or a dear close friend. All of these are the varying levels of Love.  And while each of these levels go from one degree to another, they all have one vital thing in common ...  it exists in our lives. 

But what is Love?  Really?

Love is energy in its purest and most concentrated form.  It is the most powerful energy in the entire Universe. In fact, it is Love that created the Universe itself.  And it is Love that binds it together.

Throughout human history all the way to this present moment,  obsessions and addictions, pain and abuse  have been, and continues to be, equated to (and with) Love!

In fact, the number one emotion that has been and continues to be equated with Love is ... fear.    It is the only emotion known to humankind to have this claim to fame!  

I would wager you did not even consider that now did you?

How many of you reading this right now (and be HONEST) have equated your obsession and/or addiction to Love?

I shall  make it easier for you by asking you the following questions:

• Do you find yourself not wanting to let go of a person?  

• Do you find yourself saying, "I can't let them go, I've tried!"? 

• Do you find yourself with this seeming "need" to hear their voice, even if it is only a recording, i.e., voice mail?  

• Do you find yourself with this seeming "need" to see them ... if only from a distance or a photograph?

• Do you go out of your way to just "happen" to be somewhere, be it in a store, out on the street and/or online, somewhere you know they are going to be so you can just "casually" run into them?

This is not Love! It is an addiction which often leads to becoming an obsession.  (And in some states, the above is considered stalking! 

But even if it is being done on the most innocent of levels, if you find yourself doing these things ... you are in a state of addiction/obsession and not in the state of Love. 

Love, true and genuine Love, is Freedom for all  parties involved.  It is the Freedom of being.  It is the state in which you are truly happy whether you are with the one you love or not.  Love does not cling or hold on to another.  Love does not need anything to feel complete and whole.  It just IS.

Namaste Beloveds!

FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS...

Excerpt from Children Of the Luminaries Book One: The Coming Storm

Long ago, before the wave of negativity began to take form, the Divine Creators brought together representatives from each of the twelve star sectors of the vast cosmos to form twelve councils to oversee the development of newly formed worlds.  Each council reflected the great wisdom, knowledge and power of their region.  These councils became known as the Celestial Lords of Light. 

As the wave of negativity grew, wars broke out, worlds were destroyed, entire races lost.  The wave had even reached many of the members of the twelve councils diminishing their ranks and weakening their authority. 

It was during this time, thirteen surviving members from the various councils came together and pooled their collective energies.  They beseeched the Divine Creators to grant them power to create a race of beings that would battle the negativity.

On that day, the thirteen were granted permission to set into motion their desire to create a race of beings who would serve as protectors of every living creation.  From each of the twelve star clusters, the Divine Creators gave to them the essence of twelve thousand stars. 

“From these you will fashion your charges.  Create as you will.  Instill in your creations the desire to do good.  Grant them purpose and honor; keeping in mind to never interfere with their freedom of choice.  You may watch, guide and advise.  But you must never interfere!  You will no longer be permitted to show yourselves to your charges but will work in quiet solitude; assisting only when directly asked,” the Creators instructed solemnly.

Pleased with Council's efforts, the Divine Creators then formed a world upon which the Knights would live and named it Bar'Tal meaning ‘Great Light'.  The Divine Creators granted the thirteen as Pantheon and High Council to the Knights with the reminder that they were not permitted to interfere with freedom of choice. 

As the Knights began to evolve and advance, representatives from every part of the cosmos began to show interest, seeking them out.  Many requested assistance from the Knights to battle the evil in their worlds, others to bring healing and needed supplies. 

For all living creatures that faced extinction, from every galaxy and every dimension, Bar'Tal had become their sanctuary.  As the Knights grew stronger and more powerful so too did the threat of the wave of negativity, its power now rapidly enveloping Bar'Tal.
