Born In A Frozen State: No Axe Shall Touch Thee Now

Away it has gone, yet its many years of preying upon me are not soon forgotten. Now that it is gone, something so extremely valiant has stepped in. I have proudly christened it as "6/21/08". It has suddenly appeared before me, in the form of a dark blue apparition. A man stands proud before me, with his staff in hand as two souls ride upon their steed. Women with their babies appear, curious faces stare back at me while creatures of the wild stir throughout the shadows.

The "6/21/08" has revealed to me much that is unexplained within the universe. It proves to me, a fact which states: “We are many parts, we are all one body.” Thus, we are ALL the same, no matter whom, what, nor where we are. Before my eyes tis’ gone, leaving me with so many questions to ponder for many years.

Yet, I ask, as well as wonder where it has gone. What has happened to this man? What has happened to the mothers and their children? Where have all the animals of the universe gone? Not long after I ask myself these many questions, it has suddenly appeared once again! This time, it reveals its many faces, gazing down upon me within the cloud and ever-changing skies above.

In absolute awe, I truly believe it heard my curious thoughts of its disappearance. Thus, once again revealing itself, to inform me it is always around and has not gone anywhere. Over time, I begin to believe that whatever this is which has entered my life, is protecting me in many forms. The more I dwell upon this, the more I begin to believe, I am not at all who I think I am.

I flash back to old memories which I have held onto for as long as I can remember. I begin to wonder where I truly came from and where I was, in the beginning. I was very small and recall the glorious, candlelit castle in which I had lived. Great bonfires burned bright before the front of the castle, while another roared beyond the trees, within the courtyard.

The stars and moon had shone brightly as many men, women and children danced and sang merrily all around the towering castle, which was completely surrounded by forests. A dark haired women, dressed in yellow had taken care of me. The restless Raccoon, which someone had caught and caged, paced back and forth. In daylight, a girl with long brown and blonde hair rode sadly away from the castle as smoke from the two enormous, now smoldering bonfires, arose from the pits and into the clear blue sky.

I dwell upon these many thoughts, wonders and memories for long periods of time. The more I dwell, the more I feel it come back to me stronger and stronger. Many more feelings, memories, thoughts and wonders begin to arise. In the meantime, I feel it aching to reach me as it sends its messengers, the Crows, to guide me as it delivers many messages to me throughout life.

Upon a cold, dark night, I find myself attacked. As I lay upon my bed, I feel something so extremely cold suddenly sweep over me. As it moves back and forth over me repeatedly, my entire body tingled sharply. I attempt to move my right arm but cannot, I find myself completely paralyzed. Before my eyes, I see myself running from what appears to be the face of a beast from Hell. As I lay still, feeling the sharp tingling, I suddenly see in very dark blue light, the face of a demon. It disappears and reappears sweeping over me repeatedly until suddenly I see its full figure!

Engulfed in flames, it appears, standing erect before me in the form of a winged serpent, complete with horns and tail. I feel myself raise my silver, red-crossed shield. Completely protected, I hear the demon let out a sudden growl, followed by a furious roar. Suddenly, the beast turns its back upon me and disappears before my eyes.

A red mark appears upon the inside of my right arm. It is a perfect, red circle, which lasts for many days and nights. It causes me no harm, nor discomfort. Yet, I wonder if the demon in which I had fought recognizes me as the one soul whom I do not yet realize I am. Therefore, it has left its “bite” mark upon me, not only in fury from battle, but as a warning.
