From the underworld, he watches her mind...

He sees:
 

Her wild is beyond his control...
Her sensitivity will expose his lies...
Her power threatening to melt his frozen heart...

There's only one thing to do: She must be stopped at all cost.

 

"I own you"
 

"Deny Your Power"
 

"Suppress Your Desires"
 

"Your Body is Mine"
 

"Your fate is sealed"
 

"You will stay here forever"

 

With skill and precision,

he weaves a spell across her chest,

so slowly she barely notices at all.

Eventually her pulse slows,

soon she believes his lies,

where he rules, everything stops.

where his presence lands,

nothing can grow.

 

And then came the Miracle. 𖤍

The veil opened,

The fog cleared,

her vision renewed

she saw clearly

she understood

and

she whispered:

"I can be free.
My body is mine...
My life is MINE...
I decide."

 

Suddenly something unexpected -
a faint sparkle emerging from the nothingness,

right there, in the darkness of the underworld

a faint light began to shine,

at first almost invisible,

but with each lie she saw through,
the light grew stronger.

He knew,

his existence was at stake.

Panic rising.
With a jerk, he drew his obsidian sword.

Ready to defend the order of things.
