The Quick, the Dead and the Divine

Description

They say that in another realm there is a room which is perfectly symmetrical. It has no windows, no furniture; only a pedestal of stone in the centre, with a pair of scales sat atop. These scales, though in appearance seem to be perfectly uninteresting and ordinary, represent the balance of the higher plateaus; the equilibrium of the opposing forces at work in upper realms which affect those in “reality”, the realm of the living and the present.

There are times when the balance of the universe is upset- and when this happens, the scales tip, and the effects ripple through the supernatural world. If not restored, a state of chaos is imminent- however, fate is a being of knowledge and foreseer of all to come; and they planted seeds since the very dawn of time which would be the tools to restore balance if it should ever be upset, keeping the last piece to themselves to give to a worthy hero of the present when the time is right.

 

However, their chosen one must then live up to the expectations placed on them; for a timeless being such as fate cannot still the quickened, nor quicken the dead.

Foreword

Hi guys! Me again with another supernatural story :3

I'm not planning for it to be all that long, but it might last for 10 chapters depending on how I portion them.

This story is very much focussed on the creation of an alternate, surrealist landscape, a few abstract ideas and questions being the basis for the plot. I hope I can take you to a place I've spent a long time building in my mind.

 

"The extencity and power of landscape may be such that all we can do is to glance at it, take parts of it in, and let the rest of it go." - E. S. Casey.

 

I don't normally leave an author's note but I love to chat! So please let me know what you think in the comments :D Plus they motivate me haha.

Hope you enjoy what I've written :)
