Summer's Ascendancy

Imagine a veil, covering your eyes, blinding you to the truth of this world.

Through this veil, you see the world as you were taught to see if – man at the top of the food chain, master of his domain, spear-heading a future driven by technology and innovation, by science and discovery, by hard laws, etched in the stone of reality, etched in the subconscious of the waking mind.

Now imagine that veil was little more than thin armor, protection the fragile mind of man from a darker world, a more sinister world, a world that dwells just outside of man’s peripheral vision, a world of darkness and magic, of mystery and fantasy.

Not the true world, no, at least no more than man’s believe in gods of technology are true.

No, the truth is both are just as real, just as important as the other.  Two halves of the same coin.

Now – pull that veil away.  See the truth that lies behind, beneath, and to the side.  See that man’s place in the hierarchy of the world rests primarily on need and numbers, that creatures of shadow and night need to tread softly, lest they be overpowered.

But what happens to man when that balance of power starts to shift?  When other worlds, those of Heaven and Hell, of Tir na nOg, begin to touch heavily the world of man?

What shall you do then, you who’s eyes have been so recently opened?

Do you run?  To you scream in terror?  To you cling to childish notions that, as you cower in your bed at night, trembling under your sheets, that as long as you are encased in your cloth shroud and do not admit that the shadows and darkness are out there, that you are safe?

Or do you face this new, this true, reality face on, standing tall and proud, ready to see what the Fates have in store?
