Detachment of Oneself

There was a time when I knew who I was, when everything seemed so clear to me…there was neither doubt…nor fear…the simple realization of me was downright complete, as it was the conception of this world, the idea of a different interpretation would’ve been disparaged, as it would’ve been any negligible remark, from whoever it would have come. We are the result in a series of transformations, which aftermath turns out to be us, in a manner of speaking; this is what ultimately tells us who we are, at least that is what we endeavor to believe.

Anyways, the mere contact with somebody else can make us change, that’s a fact, and we always acquire certain part and figment of those we commune with, as if a shard of them lives with us, as tangible and lively, some may say this is utterly false, that their personality formed out of the blue, or simply came embedded as instructed by parents, relatives, or related whatchamacallit. Truth be told, this conforms the myriad of the many different facets. It is unbeknown to the majority of people around, but engraved intrinsically in just a handful.

As far as my mind is aware, some part of me died, albeit retaining part of its essence, an essence that still lives on, no matter the obstacles, mishaps or hinders it has to go through. It is then when a novel idea concocted in my mind, made up like great ideas come. Rumor has it, it pops out in the same fathomless manner, uncanny as can be. Thus, I acknowledge the role of it and its momentum, the grandeur of our deeds transcending the very fabric of our existence, shimmering fully-fledged, unabridged as a horse at tip-top, wouldn't find it curious to develop a reluctance towards others. Truth be told, reality is elusive, always bonded to the reason and little to do with our beliefs, we relentlessly try to prevent our own judgment to befriend surrealistic concepts such as life after death, reincarnation, heaven or hell. Quite frankly we are but pawns in a mundane existence.

As far as we are concerned, the futility of life never bothers us, not until we apprehend the significance of living. Even still, the conscience makes great efforts to reach us, oblige us to snap out of it, akin to the appearance of a wraith, befuddling us, yearning to get the very best of ourselves, a quintessential gist being a force to be reckoned with. Once that's left behind, inexorably dwelling on the past and still hanging up to remorse and regret; those feelings came unnoticed, as part of a great debacle, one we give little account of, but it is indeed a wolf in sheep's disguise, attempting to fool us, feigning belligerence towards an enfeebled embodiment of what we believe to be a stable realization construed behind the rationale of self-righteousness and foolish assertions.

There is but one thing we may stumble upon which is capable to outweigh such atrocities, all our misdeeds and malicious actions, the sorrow, the madness, the pain, the suffering, the moaning and distress, the sadness, all-out grievance, envy being on deliberate or not, nauseous thoughts, twisted memories, deeds regarded as impure, sinful, tainted or resembling any form of evil are redeemed.

No one is worthy enough to deem the acts of others as righteous, there's no people as a saintlike or saint to be sacrosanct as to appraise human misdeeds or strengths thereof. Among all series of abhorrences and abominations in this wretched and barren land devoid of the slightest dim of reason and judgment. All of us are to blame for the disparaging and blatant remarks we set upon the woeful individual, or how we torment the innocent, bemoaning and yearning for the heart-warming merciful resolution as a testament of the scarce graceful charity our hearts may still hold. Indeed, the sorrowful and vengeful would find nary truth on such statements, qualifying them as insolent or rather obnoxious. Be that as it will, the masterpiece and oxymoron in the flow of time and space, has been, it is and will always be the very persona behind our very selves.

Rationale acquiesce emotions, permitting the whole gamut of expressions of the inner self; courageous, infamous, willful, not-bounded, renown, perfidious, languid, lustful, supercilious and callous as can be. It is the inner self the one who bears the myriad atrocities, calamities, harbinger of havoc embodying catastrophe and comprising downright malice per se. So to account only to a limited extent the span of this ominously uncanny, flamboyantly hindered and sometimes unbearable force we are compelled and most obliged to satisfy with the utmost delight. Lack of which would inevitably shift balance over an apparent equilibrium, bogus to the mind, but tangible by the most naive of perceptions. Thusly, misdemeanors pass under-covered, overshadowed by the overzealous en mass rejoicing deeply underneath, in lieu of hindering and boycotting the core feelings or depriving savagely basic instincts or lower passions like the inherent desire lurking about the bottom of the heart as gruesome visions of capital sins and despicable terror accomplishing defilement of soul; it blooms, reaches full-fledged state on the fly as a parasite would unleash à la "hell broke loose" in a place we may refer to as haven.

We are but refugees on the wild, helpless pawns dependent of an ever-growing, always-on-the-move, relentless cumulus. So we, relentless in a space-time continuum fearsome to behold, lackluster in nature in the brink of tending to a state of decay and no grandeur whatsoever to be acquaintance of; prone to the moronic misconceptions and marauders roaming through the land, corroding it, being elusive to change and enhancement; groping to venture their ever-dwindling selves in uncertainty being doubt and instability the characters to lay blame on. Even still, the natural order of life follows its course imprisoning the last remnant and reminiscence of willingness. Take rational out of the equation and you end up with an empty vessel indistinguishable from a vassal henceforth, as the carcass remaining, though infused with the essence of life keeps on perishing endlessly, albeit willy nilly. All we can surmise is that emptiness construes indeed that scorned and denied part of us, although we may not befall to a pit of bewilderment or astonishment from the implications regarding this banality of matter. To the very least, acknowledging its ill-conceived tantamount as a token is of the essence. It may not forbear the causality, but not being unbeknown to it warns you beforehand, what elsewise proves to be fatal.

Devoid

Lo and behold, the cat emerged from the closet; never saw it coming, akin to the myriad times the wraith paid his respects in my chamber, my alcove and ensnaring prison, startling me. Long I stood there before I took account of my surroundings, all shrouded in darkness like covered in a mystifying veil; silence reverberated through the room, only the murmur of faraway nightlife hindered it from a full-fledged state, permeating dimly by means of the lilliputian window above, left ajar deliberately to maintain awareness, let alone consciousness as my air supply started to dwindle.

A stagnant stench everbearing by means of bloodstained carcasses made implausible, albeit necessary to inhale, if there was a dwelling close to Tartarus on Earth, it has to be this apartment, my own personal hell and playground, thwarted only by my sentinel and blooming executioner. It has been 1 month since I was locked up here, sagacious as I am, no preemptive action could have prevent him from ostracize me.

Three o'clock in the morning... the feline gave me the heads-up of his inexorably wretched coming, his corpulent and repugnant physique matched only by his twisted and grotesque physiognomy, the hint of heavy footsteps only outweighed by his abohorrent countenance, scarred throghout, heralded his presence, his grimace corroded by the very same feeling of hatred that all of his cohorts depicted, as if possessed by some uncanny force, arcane in nature; my sentinel, always wielding a gargantuan machete, cumbersome for a mere human, but featherlight for his anomalous muscle; crash opened the door...

Despair

...almost shredding it to pieces, his prominent height compelled him to bent down, his face concealed in a cloak was the blatant attestation of my doomsday, as I have already took cognizance of what a veiled countenance meant; immediately reaching out for me, as if I was being dragged into a vortex, inexorably seizing me. He revealed a hollow in the machete's hilt, unbeknown to me until that gruesome dusk, the cavity contained a syringe filled with an obnoxious and turbid concoction, a wave of panic overwhelmed me leaving me totally astounded to even act, not that it would make a difference when subdued by his outrageous puissance. The gigantesque needle plunged into my back, releasing its content, I could not struggle, feel, or even reason any longer, my consciousness started to fade as my head spinned wildly, I still could see him...taking off his mask to disclose greater abominable features, mumbling some gibberish to his cohorts, my sight blurred by the effects of fear and the drug;

And then I saw it, all of a sudden my surroundings changed, the plethora of blood pouring down , a never ending flow of cadavers permeating my now unrecognizable alcove, the moanings and lamentations of their anguish, somehow by means of that shot I was in a place utterly wretched and foul, the stench of death abounded, the wraith was there...waiting for me, shrieking my memories would come back soon...and so they did...

Devil

It took me some minutes to completely come to my senses, which incidentally, were not human at all; I felt imbued with a grandiose, atrocious power. I was no longer that miserable and sleazy human, whose feeble being I had been embodying for the last 3 months. I smirked to myself, laughter resounded as a harbinger in every nook and cranny, wretchedness and wrath of never ending flare echoed alongside agony and dolor from the undead, choiring for my return and fully-awaken form , the wraith was no other but my ever loyal servant, who, following its master orders, oversaw the whole process I underwent in hands of my executioner , it was its command coupled with its meddlesome nature that characterized it, which ensured the fulfilment and success of my scheme; if not performed in due course and time, my beingness would have been obliterated, let alone my demon status.

The concoction that was injected into my veins as a human was actually a bane forged by alchemy of Citrine (a valuable ore in the underworld) and souls of the damned, meant to demolish the temporal bridge between the demon and human worlds, by means of this link, my consciousness could trek in the portal, and ultimately reach the mind of a human, among the eligible were those that befit in the malevolent category, those with a heart so dark that makes their takeover a wholly delightful pleasure to be enjoyed with parsimony, after my possession they did not come back to their former selves, they became informers in disguise, with no mind of their own, merely pawns degrading themselves to putrescent organic matter, capable of widespreading my dominion by means of contagion through the miasma pouring out eventually, lethal as a virus.

My sought-after goal was undoubtedly to establish a permanent demon-human nexus, spreading havoc in that world corrupted by vengeance and prone to a state of decay, after all, both legacies lingers within me, mingling in my hybrid blood. Eagerness started it all, as I, in my seek-out for power in order to abolish the titanic boundaries to open a gateway, devised this scheme, comprising two trials that ancient demidevils and demigods prepared in anticipation, one as a human, the other as a demon.

Alas, to my distress, there was a constituent I was not able to obtain comfortably for the human phase, the memento my mother gave the two of us... my brother and I, he kept both shards as keepsake, in the backside our names engraved "Daedalus and Dagfinn"...
