CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Without Insurrection - No Magic / Without Magic - No Victory
Tristen L'Cuilean: : : : (Light brown to Blondish hair or Dyed?) Wants to Please Instead of Having to Lead... and Chose! As he changes he is more Infinite-oriented, he has no sense off flow (extremely slow and then lightening fast), infinite inward and outward (and at the junction of both). All things in correct balance. He compliments Marcel's morality rap at times...
Personal: Aloof, spacey, kind, honest, childlike... so sincere he is spooky... fluctuates and you
know something will happen, something is unstable...
He remembers being a boy (we see it...) Raking hay... and a girl... (Arafel) running across a
field. The storm blowing in ...and the sparrows (Pigeons, swallows...or?) rushing under the
eaves high up on the barn. He had an owl... and we hear some dialog about and with
Owl.. Tristen: Owl's scary and has a bit of evil about him, but he knows me... he has tried to aid me at times...
Once when I was lost, but I ignored him or was afraid – I misunderstood. Now I know the I of Owl
and what he means to me... And Owl and I are one... ( could also be a bear, wolf or a saber tooth house cat with magic?).
The actor Tristen is a different ethnic than Ari (Like Italian vs. German or Irish): Think Jude Law (Blueberry Nights/ Existence, Enemy at the Gates ) mixed with Mat Dillon (Bourne Supremacy) and sprinkles of Louis Garrel (Regular Lovers) ... and 28 Days Later lead guy... But also a bit (at times)
of the guy in Girl on a Bridge! Other combinations are Pola X with Keith Ledger in Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus; even a rare dash of Wilderness or the Rock n Roller guy... Jumper, & Johnny Deppish when trying to be funny... The Fiancee in Red Riding Hood... Tristen's kind of dumb or innocent, but eventually decisive: Centurion ; Michael Fassbender; Pokolenie ; Brick : Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Ari (Arafel) Fomorion ::: (Dirty Blonde or Wild (squirrely): Medium-term oriented, intelligently paced and a broad view. New Age and Magic – but balanced like few New Age folks. A practiced pro–oriented caring soul. In the end Ari agrees with Marcel the ultra-radical. They all start to agree more about TIME, its importance and bearing and what has failed and what they must do…
She realizes that they have no choices... Even Marcel grows afraid later when he gets up to the
tower... They talk once or twice and are friends. Marcel doesn't thrust her at first but slowly. And she sees that he is very loyal... protective.
Personal : Sweet, cute, but tough... serious but not oppressive. Red hair or light brown 20 years old... but really she is 100 years old... plus...
Her father died to save Tristen. But the Sistres of the Dark hid Tristen well... even from Tristen himself.
Ari needs to have multi-capabilities: A Serious side, but also kind of patient and mocking... Soft but inner tough: Below are ideas of the possible Ari's we need...
Soft Girls: Kristen Stewart: Twilight series; Isild le Besco: A Tout de Suite ( soft – but not timid);
Regular Lovers: Clotilde Hesme... quiet a lot. Inception : Ellen Page (all of her roles);
Semi Professional But not too Serious Enemy at the Gates: Rachel Weisz;
Edge of Love, Dominoe, London Boulevard: Kiera Knightly; Tetro : Maribel Verdú;
Centurion and 28 Weeks Imogen Poots ; Martyrs: Morjana Alaoui, Mylène Jampanoï;
The Hitcher 1986 : Jennifer Jason Leigh ; The Hitcher 2007: Sophia Bush.
Wacky or Goofy Girls ::: Exils: Naima (Lubna Azabal); Girl on a Bridge: Vanessa Paradis (though she is
spacey too!) ; Mouchette 1967 : Nadine Nortier ; Wristcutters: Shannyn Sossamon.
Too Serious Girls ::: Children of Men... Julianne Moore; A Generation Pokoleinie: (Though she is funnier!) Urszula Modrzynska (as Dorota); Underworld: Kate Bleckenshire (also in White Out); Centurion: (Warrior girl) Olga Kurylenko
Spacey Girls: Pola X, Few of Us: Yekaterina Golubeva ; White Material: Isabelle Huppert
The Smart Ass Bitch Elitist: Brick : Nora Zehetner, Sharon Stone (Various); Singer from Eurythmics...
I Iean toward a woman with light hair (darker if Tristen is very Blonde). She should be
a combo of Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) and Gorbacheva (Pola X) with a bit of Kiera
Knightly's sassyness... (Dominoe!) Another combination could be Urszula Modrzynska
(Pokolenie) with Olga Kurylenko (Centurion) and a touch of sweetness : Imogen Poots (Centruion).
Marcel Bouazizi (Kurd, Iranian Moroccan OR?) : Is immediate, desperate and focused. Kill the rich and let the worms sort them out. We live in a world that has always been controlled by evil, defined by evil and headed for more evil... I think that anyone with power (beauty, money, talents, skills, song, knowing...) who does not fight the concentrations of power is worse than evil – worse than Hitler... or even America. He is Beyond the Coming Insurrection. He gives a hardcore rap all of time... Strategy/ Tactics. Marcel is “to the Death!” & “all revolutions failed to be violent enough! Doubt and ignorance always trump the obvious...”
His fears are losing his friends or discovering they are traitors or treacherous or just dumb.
His strengths are: extreme loyalty to a small group, bravery, decisiveness and straight talk.
His weaknesses are: insecurity of how others view him ...and his war-focus.
Personal Background: Young Moroccan or Algerian. Part or all Black possible. This depends on
other characters and their mix... Adopted by a French family after his parent were disappeared
by the government. Ostracized by politics, rich family dysfunctional syndromes... and so he left home at 15... He lost his girlfriends to money and politics... Loyal to Tristen when others have doubted
him... willing to die (even anxious to die if it fits into something meaningful...). Like Air – like Fire.
Preoccupied but sincere and friendly. At times a leader, though not ambitious at all... He is just
focused on priorities and the Cause... the Need (s) ….
Marcel's father was the Last seer we know of... Iranian Kurd and always in trouble on the borders...
Marcel is not a SEER . But he says that he learned to figure out things – like the future by thinking
things through and feeling out the scene. We used to tease him that he was a peripheral prophet...
Mischa (Arafel/Ari's seer-Aunt) was his father's friend... Maybe much more.. too.
Quotes from Movie or Marcel's life: Those resisting occupation are beyond morality and must only
consider effectiveness. And since nothing has been effective against this lunacy they call civilization
then anything goes – indeed anything and everything must be tried over and over until it works, until
we get it right, until we find a way to really hurt the Lunatic bosses.
WE LIVE IN AN OCCUPIED WORLD... IT is not occupied by Corporations or by US MILITARIES.
It is occupied by a totality of events and evil tendencies. One that empowers Nazi ideals (feelings, directions, evils... motives). This Occupied World is dominated by a force that is more determined to obliterate all resistance and all possibilities or options than any force ever imagined in all of history. We have waited and tried all of the avenues short of full-on Violent Resistance. All of these efforts have failed... every test... So, we still live in an Occupied World – more occupied and one with less hope than was ever feared... possible... Escape the box!
My Demands / Your Demands: We study anything novel. We look for cracks in the prison
consciousness. We tweak ideas and new fads. The Insurrection that Comes had the right trajectory:
No demands means the uncompromising demand for a rupture, for an irreversible insurrection.
And so it is OK to demand that rupture. We are all in a hostage and reverse Stockholm syndrome.
So just like the hostage takers can demand food or water, we can demand free hot dogs at the parks
on Saturdays, or sprinklers for the kids... Absurd but not senseless.
Morality: People have the mistaken idea that we are working for a glorious revolution. That might
be a nice situation to be in, but it no longer reflects an option in this world. Our only role at this
point in time is an anti-Nazi Occupation Resistance ( A N O R ) . A Liberation War of total
resistance to the occupation of powerful and foreign occupation troops... seems to be coalescing around the planet, across cultures and onward... precipitously, It seems...
MARCEL RAP: Don't quite understand how THE yups and so many people got it wrong.
We didn't want to create communes – we had no choice. Its like the Army where they teach you to
care about and be willing to die for your unit. We had to get people into communes not only for
strength and effectiveness, but also to give them something to care about...
ALINA the Doolah (blondish or redhead or wild) : 12 to 14 years old.
ZETAS: ( Bad) Mostly skinheads and a few blacks...
Pookah Horse: Jet-black with blazing eyes. A magical creature doomed to kill humans usually in the water... but this one cannot kill Tristen because he is not quite human and he can't kill Ari because Tristen forbids it... even though this means the Pookahs doom too. Also known as Each-Uisge. They are similar to the Kelpie, but far more dangerous. They inhabit lochs and seas and will eat their victims after tearing them into pieces, except for the liver, which they leave. If they are ridden inland, they are safe to ride, but if they catch the slightest whiff of the sea air... Appears as a straggly boy at times.
Death To Empyre, Death to Demons, Share or Die!
Long Live The Elves and the Kind Kindred Goblins!
The Magical Insurrections: A Background Look
… The shadow is following me wherever I go ...Just like my shadow, but it's everyone's
shadow and even the dead's... It's not my shadow ...It's not my shadow ...It's not my shadow
(IDEA THAT OUR OWN SHADOW CAN POROTECT US FROM OTHER Shadows or
Weak Demons and UNATTACHED, HAUNTING, OR MALIGN shadows.... Ari is screaming
this after she cannot take it anymore... all of the Shadows trying to attach to Tristen that she is stopping and holding on to... And then she kills again and breathes in the smoke (spirit/energy )
of some gang or people she and Tristen have killed or stunned...
In Magic Insurrection there is a dark force or it may be only a reflection of their doubts (doubles) or
insecurities... another possibility or addition could be Ari's bad karma from borrowing... clashes... or it could be a semi-neutral CHAOS - who resents their boldness... or all of these things creating a maze of wishes and counter wishes...
Chaos is like a predator. It hunts the weak, the sick, the old, the diseased, Chaos creates a tension that makes the weak weaker, makes rejection or abandonment more likely... It weeds out undesirable things and animals. It exists and strives in all of us. God is everything but only a force at the contraction and expansion (BANG) – In between these times the power of God lies in people and what they create is the manifestation of God Power and truth... alas... we have no God as we have destroyed and desecrated everything we can.
Who is the evil then ? Possibly no clear enemy – Just a deadly and diseased world where insurgents stand hostile within.
Demons are former wizards eaten up by sorcery and they often flee from one multiverse to another.
They finally decide to play with people's emotions – to make them feel – imagine scenes of everyone crying when the Sidhe wishes them to care – or to believe in a better world – or to hate those who steal hope – or … like inception.
Sisters of The Dark: Rumor has it that the Sisters were leading Healers from California who freaked out once they realized that their slowing things down had caused evil and inhibited Magic. But they could not accept or let go of their responsibilities and so they added to the spell that was designed to hide Tristen. The Healer Sister's became the Sisters of The Dark when they killed Ari's father as he resisted their spells and designs.
THE COLLECTIVE WISH... A Communal Conjuring toward (or against) the Path of Least
Resistance and yet balanced against a type of Entropy. It's like wishes. They both seek the worn or torn apart (Part) – THE WEAKNESS, the cracks... the lines joining the old and the new.... And it is there that IT (Evil, Chaos, Wishes) begins the tear (ing / teardrops from your eyes...) at the sore spot in your Life / Personality / Trauma \ Stories.
HOW MAGIC WORKS : Gestures Can Become Magic
Gestures start a flow pattern that begin to affect all things... until the moment comes when the gesture carries a wish to the Fork of Possibilities... Some call this pivot point the The Least Resistance moment... This is where wishes are dangerous because it is hard to tell where the path of least resistance might lie and which wishes might stand in the way... If you send a lightening bolt at your enemy he may deflect the killing power onto your less powerful friend.
`````````There is magic, there is Wizardry, there is Sorcery. They are not the same.
Wizardry is what most people imagine as Magic. Wizards very rarely can perform Real Magic...
Only Elementals or Sidhe can do that at will. Just remember that if we say Magic and its is not done by a Sidhe we probably mean wizardry. Sorcery is what Wizards can do to give themselves more power until they are consumed by Demons or by other Sorcerers.
In order to approach Real Magic a wizard must know all of the contexts that surround him and
the target of his wishes. To go beneath something like a world's context (historical, modern and future direction) one has to know it and know it without thinking, saying or writing too. It's like a picture tells a million words. And it must include a structure, a methodology and a view that explains the most that is possible – and the future. It's not necessary for this view of context to be perfect, but it must capture enough to ascertain a clear direction.
When you get good at this non-thinking with knowing, when you get close, then you can go
beneath the context – the facade and the structures – of the world. Under the radar, there is a place where magic can work. Beneath, before and beyond the context that defines and creates the everyday world is another world: the Realm of the Elementals.
Context is always the first lie that we tell ourselves. To accept the real context of your place in the
world is an almost impossible step for most Western people or the rich. In a society with a real (deeper!) culture or in a group of serious people who care and want to be honest (like in an affinity group), then it is possible for everyone to feel and to know without words - even w/o saying - what their own context is, as well as, their place or situation in the greater context of the world. The whole group has to be somewhat aware of their own and the greater context and also the dance of all the various factors and potentials. Part of this is to know your friends' (of the Commune) preferences and their likely willingness to die or go to jail in order to protect a watershed or a river or to occupy a building... until demands are met or ...beyond.
There are two ways to craft a wise or powerful wish: youthful innocence and wishing with rare
sincerity, or a very clear, simple and focused wish that avoids other wishes and complications. Most people do not believe in wishes and so it is rare for them to have any wish power. Their doubts and confusion set them to wishing vaguely for less or for more than they want – or more than they have the power to manifest.
Wishes start off strong and true among the gifted children, but of course no one notices because they mostly wish for love, for family peace or for food or treats – simple and normal things they are, but they are also the wishes that keep love and traditions alive. As the Death Culture of this world gains power over children's thoughts and wishes, most people wish away their childish beliefs – their attuneness with nature and their innocent love.
The trick is to hold on to your innocence and your belief until you can know what you really want and what your powers are. Then you can wish little things (health for someone you love, doubt among those who are bullies) the more specific the better. With confidence from small successes and your path of power cleared up a bit, you can begin to craft your wishes in a pattern that will bring you to the big wish. Once or twice in your life you can wish up something that has real and far-reaching power – even something that may go against the nature of things and change fate. There is some danger in this for it is usually irreversible.
These wishes are best saved for desperate times, like we are in now, because at these times the veil
between the worlds is thinner and many wishes are voided by circumstance. Big wishes can attract attention from other wizards, sorcerers and other things of the dark that you would rather not know about, and which you could never face. With good intentions and coming from a pure heart you need not fear too greatly and you can concentrate on directing the wish with true aim and compassion.
The bond linking magic and happiness is beyond morality. Magical Happiness testifies to a higher ethics. Happiness has a paradoxical relationship with its subject. Someone who is happy cannot know that he is; the subject of happiness is not a subject per se and does not obtain the form of consciousness or of a conscience, not even a good one. Only someone who is enchanted can say “I” with a smile, and the only happiness that is truly deserved is the one we could never dream of deserving.
There is no other happiness than the feeling of being capable of magic. If we call life by its right
name, it comes forth, because “that is the essence of magic, which does not create but summons.
Magic begins at its inception from the Song of the Elementals and thus begins and sometimes ends with the science of secret names. Each thing, each being, has in addition to its manifest name, another, hidden name to which it cannot fail to respond. Magic is a gesture, a breaking free from names.
Wishes and spells aim at the weak points. It is a local or regional effect. Distance matters. Many factors affect a spell: other spells, age, wisdom, craft and innocent focus. Specific and direct is most reliable. It's easy to nudge a boulder downhill, to make it rain when there are clouds, to increase a medium wind... to make things do what they want to do. Love – et all are possible but fickle.
A wizard can lend another wizard, and perhaps even a Sidhe, his strength or even all of his knowledge – though usually this is only possible at death or fading away. For potency most wishes or grand designs need help, blood, sweat, troops, hope, wise guides and faith and faithful. Those who believe in their cause just need a push, a bit of magic and mystery, to make them do things they would not ordinarily do or believe in.
Most wizards have either been used for evil or themselves become evil (greed, carelessness, hunger for greater power). It is always dangerous to want more than you have – or to borrow from unknown forces. Twisting lies insinuated by false leaders and directed by wizards have ruled most of the world for a thousand years. Only their personal differences and hunger for supremacy have kept these evil powers from fully enslaving all life. But the Great Shadow the source of darkness and evil in all of us – is always drawing from the little evils and building and saving his forces and powers... waiting for a day, a year, for when the time is right.
It's a simple matter for a wizard within the seat of power to spread strategic lies and to cause good ideas to be discredited... permanently. Much of the see-saw of history is a battle between wizards on opposing aides. They protect evil leaders and they steal people's power and goodness in order to pervert and confuse all challengers. Small lies or white lies are not very evil, but they do allow a doorway to higher powers and greater evils.
One can't go against nature or not much or not directly. A heart is easy to stop – a metal power line
pole is hard to destroy. A wood pole you can make burn – in fact fire is always easy. A rock above a
highway or a power pole can be made to move. One can push things in a natural direction – like to make a tree grow bigger, or get sick and crumble... or the same with a powerline pole or even a rock. But you cannot easily create a rock or a shirt out of thin air. Or not without consequences... All magic has been weakened and threatened with extinction by the destruction of nature and the sad and evil-directed human descent into mundane, idiocy and loss of meaning in their hearts.
There has always been great magic at work in the world - it has until now all been evil magic or if there was good magic its existence and mark has been erased from consciousness and artifact.
The modern world wars are wars against civilians and against nature. The Sidhe people came from the other side (The Gray Lands of the North) in 1940 to help the French and the spirits of the forests to fight the Nazis. If one does not fight Evil when they have a chance, then they are Evil... or they lead to and often become evil.
The Magic of Tricks must be used to reach a greater possibility of general happiness... or a sustainable Happiness for the most people. This may require harming many ordinary or passive people as one rids the world of Great Evils and transitions. This is really the greatest of mysteries.
Magic tells us how to think carefully, how to direct our thoughts, and Magic requires that we think about the consequences of our wishes and actions in order to avoid massive collateral injuries or the wish fulfilling in a bad way. Insurgents do not care much about whether harm or bad Karma comes back at them – they are already dead... as far as those concerns go. And Magic makes us think about what others are wishing or wishing at us and our wishes... We have to learn to sense when wishes of our enemies or even friends are directly opposed to ours – and what the Insurgency needs...
One has to learn how to go around or over those counter wishes... Magic teaches us how to use what we have and how to draw on our strengths while protecting (warding) our weaknesses.
The Morality in Magic teaches consequences, how things are connected, how our words
and actions will come back on us or onto others that we love if we are inconsistent and hypocritical...
Not knowing what you want –or not caring what you wish - is a dangerous reckless evil …
Where does evil get power – the dark side or our fears ?
PROBLEMS WITH WISHES:
If you wish a rock to move it may require a HURRICANE to move it. If you wish it to roll downhill that is more likely and safer! If you wish for a girlfriend then her current boyfriend may be run over by a car or… her protective gangster father may follow her and kill YOU...
Any wish has uncertainty built into it... So, most times it is wise to only wish for simple basic things: like Heath for friends, Confusion for enemies... Things move or change in the direction that they want to or are inclined toward... The flood seeks the lowest ground,... The idea is to learn to think things or wishes through and pay attention if you are hoping, desiring or really wishing for something. Don't fool yourself... too much... Be sure, have few and small doubts and think clearly... Be innocent. Wish as little harm as necessary... Wishing for Visions or Knowing is harmless if you do not put much stock in it. Bannicks and oracles mislead many a fool.
So, you wish to know where a friend or an enemy is at. You get a vision that may be
identifiable IN SPACE OR TIME, BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOUR FRIEND IS ABOUT TO
LEAVE THAT PLACE. Do not fear dreams and visions though there is not always truth in them. Even animals dream. The dream time is when the magic comes and restores us – patches up our sanity and invigorates imagination...
Say you are a Sidhe or a powerful wizard. Perhaps you W i s h f o r a l l machines to slow d o w
n … What might happen?
When Tristen changes toward a Sidhe and then switches back, he can see wishes unfolding He can tell them about some of the wishes when he changes back. Then they figure out how to use Sidhe visioning powers in Marcel – who has seer blood or potential. Then Tristen sees the visions in Marcel's mind and he can project them or tell them to Ari... From this they devise Wish Ideas.
Multiverse Dependency Fairies, The Sidhe, were created by the dreams of the Elementals.
Nature was involved and Life... These all lent power to a human design pattern meant to evolve –
to create its survival or game – to evolve or possibly to devolve – what ever works...
Sidhe Magic: Inherent, in the person's nature, unfolding, broad scale and canceling contrary wishes and most magics. It connects related or good wishes. It is innocent and yet terrible (awesome).
Sidhe Magic is rare and has grown rarer over time with each generation and each cycle.
It is rumored to be capable of channeling the wishes of all loving or good or desperate trapped souls... It has been weakened and threatened with extinction by the destruction of nature and
the sad and evil directed human descent into mundane, idiocy and loss of meaning (purpose,
humanity, altruism... etc.)
Sidhe wishes are far reaching and more powerful than even the greatest wizard can hope for.
A wizard might construct a window or a tunnel pathway to Elemental powers. But he does so by
constructing a unique context and avoiding the general temporarily... This can only be a local and brief effect, but it can trigger a powerful wish OR resolve several strong wishes that have been lingering and building up expectation... This trick is not very controllable OR specific unless it is used to kill just one person.
Beyond Wizardry is Real magic or Sidhe magic. This is the kind of power that enters the context from below the apparent reality. It appears at the base. It can enter into the hearts or even the heart- of-hearts of a billion people to share, speak and feel with them and at them.
With herbs and burning things used in spells, it's not so much what you burn or do as the thought that you put into it.
Chaos is like a predator. It hunts the weak, the sick, the old, and the diseased. Chaos creates a tension that makes the weak weaker, makes rejection or abandonment more likely... It weeds out undesirable things andanimals. It exists and strives in all of us. One cannot be against Chaos... for one reason because it is part of you. Its a force of Nature... it happens. And like any weapon or tool... concept strategy (they are all the same in a magical sense...) they can be used for evil or they can be used consciously and subconsciously for a path to greater wellness and sustainable universality. With Chaos nature it is best to accept it and understand its origins and direction and then you can deflect it's course around you or just get the hell out of the way!
God is everything, but only a force at the contraction and expansion (BANG). In between these times the power of God lies in people and what they create is their manifestation of God Power and truth... alas... we have no God as we have destroyed and desecrated everything we can.
Demons are former wizards eaten up by sorcery and they often flee from one multiverse
to another.
Magic things hunt for symbols or symbolic things - combos of symbols - like birds flying or birds
flying through a window or a doorway, a strange lightening or a animal out of place.
Another Magical Character is THE PLACE _ ANIMA LOCI: (And also as a doom or some
places are doomed to have recurring wars - Kil Wish) US is doomed... or NO Its EU ! The soul of
a place, specifically in Nature. Several cultures believe that natural forms such as wells and lakes
as well as mountains, stone menhirs, and monoliths are sacred and venerable spots where the
Numinous Divine resides and that it is possible for humans to make contact with this Anima Loci.
www.experiencefestival.com/a/ANIMA_LOCI/id/187584
Also called: geomantie, lithopunktur, erdheilung, heilung der erde, marko pogacnik,
landschaftsheilung, steinsetzung, symbol. www.animaloci.de/
ALFREKA: A term that describes land that has been physically and spiritually desecrated and
been ridden of the Anima Loci whether from maleficent acts of a mundane, human nature or
from deliberate magical on-lays.
.......... The first phase of the critical metaphysicians’ activity can be
considered complete. Its dominant trait was experimentation. In general we
expected nothing to come of our actions except for us alone. It was most often
about interrupting the predictable course of behaviors at a selected point in
social space-time, of creating situations where the truth of our era would be
forced to unveil itself. ( Beginning narration of movie or later dialog?)
If you want to hold a burning ember – a coal – in your hand, it is easier to wish the air to move
fast enough to cool your hand rather than to wish against nature or for more than you have.
If you wish against nature or for too much more than you are capable of then demons appear,...
to offer you more power at a price …
Magic works by a certain luck and sometimes it fails by lack of that luck. What we individually
deserve isn't as much as what we collectively merit. That's a profound secret which few understand.
Truth was taken captive a hundred or more years earlier.
Power destroys the past. To grow hidden in the Shadows power
must destroy the past and distort all of its treasures of alternative
ideals that stand in judgment of the present.
Background:
A Magical Insurrection Screenplay
RathAvens.Webs.com
A Story teller and a circle of kids, youth and animals... Pookaahs, Sprites... et al. Hedgehogs
too! … A girl (Ari I guess) says: Welcome my friends I am so glad you could come... I am going to take
you to another world not the future exactly but something like it – a place of terror and a place of
hope in mystery. In a few years the Great Awakening will begin... This will not be the Awakening
of the New Age or global culturalism. It will be the Awakening of Those Who Must Fight.
Sabotage and even uprisings will tear bits of the US and Canada away from the Vain Empyre.
All across the Southern Two Thirds of the world there will be mass-supported defiance of the
Empyre. Some places, especially those in proximity to the Empyre, will be brutally destroyed. The
world economy will contract as a permanent recession takes hold.
In Europe the governments build walls around the neighborhoods of the poor – mostly
immigrant - communities. A new sense of Anarchist action grows as they take over the drug trade
and wipe out organized crime in many areas. The alliance with the New Anarcho-Islamic
movement makes the Anarchists a formidable force. They save their money to buy a few nuclear
bombs and steal a few others. The bombs will be used to blast loose huge sections of the Antarctic
ice shelves. Sea transport is disrupted for decades. Ocean currents change and huge ice sheets and
glaciers tumble into the ocean as their buttresses – the ice shelves disappear. Sea levels rise four
feet in a few years. This near complete disruption of shipping causes the already weakened global
economy to collapse in many places...
The Empyre loses more power. Empyre continues to launch punitive and terror campaigns
against areas it fears or desires. Oh, yeah the Anarchists and their allies also destroy the Panama
Canal and sink a dozen large ships in Suez. Thousands of sea borne explosive mines are scattered
around the remaining shipping routes. Many Middle Eastern countries or their peoples ally
themselves with the Anarcho-Islam takeover of cities in Europe. But the Empyre is still only
weakened, its people are loyal because they and everything they ever believed in are so terribly
threatened.
A relative peace will prevail in some newly liberated places for a few years, but everyone
knows that his will not last and collapse and wars are spreading across South Asia and India... In
these years millions maybe billions of young people will learn what has happened to the world as
Evil grew and they will learn how very strong and amazing that they can be together united in
struggle. Tension and rumors of war take their toll slowly and even though many will be happy
and reveling their victory over insanity... others – elders and veterans - will remind them of the
dangers... The steady stream of refugees from the East, the South and from the perversions of the
Vain Empyre will be constant reminders.
The attacks from the Empyre will come as expected, but they will not be what had been planned for.
They will come with treachery from within our leaders, our allies and the attacks will release
poisons and disease that will spread many places... At last the Sidhe arises, the guardian left by his
ancestors in 1946, before they vanished into the far North. The Sidhe at last! The Elves return, if briefly.
Why the Sidhe didn't just kill Hitler? Things seemed so simple then. But the reality by 1944 was
that if they killed Hitler, the USSR would have taken most of Europe... and then US would have nuked Russia...
Each area of the world has its nice things: customs, traditions, quirks. Now, many of these add things evil to the mix. They were once functional (ex...New Age USA, Unions EU... clans, ethnics, religion, corruption regimes, fake and sometimes even real Islam... ?) but now they are barriers,
roadblock/bottlenecks. These things are all like wishes. And they have lies built into them...
We all do. Lies which are very hard to overcome in a short and chaotic period of time...
Even when you have a good sense of how the world should be and what must be dome to get
there... it is hard to be objective – or aware and subjective. And so, we cannot judge or hardly even
think things through to a point where they might make sense – where we might glimpse our
direction. It is even hard to determine which actions are at opposite extremes – evil and positive...
Everything gets in our way – our valuations of style over content, function over beauty, useful
versus the expense (s)...
Tristen (when Sidhe) is Outside of time and so he can go back and fix things. The Magic Pond is
also outside of time or variable. Like The Naming, it is outside a or multiple of times... But he
will lose his friends and they him? Tristen doesn't know who he is. This draws out until the
Tower/Roof when he Arises as Sidhe?
They experiment with powerful wishes trying to unwind the world from evil. They
try to awaken people without killing too many and in the end shape a simple and yet
world-shaking collective wish within a wish... Inception on a grand scale...
The wide world had seen great change in five years. The Northwest of North America had rebelled and held its ground The Book Kil Wish). Then a few years later Southern California and most of Baja had freed their prisoners and used them to win victory and a measure of desperate freedom (Screenplay Kil. Serenity). Rebellions brewed in the Southern Hemisphere and after the anarchists and their Islamic allies in Europe bombed Antarctica and shut down most trade,then revolution and real insurrection seized most of the South (Screenplay Kil. Chaos and Bomb Antarctica).
The Empyre still stood. Forty Six states and one neutral remained with the US government. Most of Canada was a puppet and half of the Mexican population had died of a mysterious GMO disease. The US was a big food exporter and used this as well as its weapons to silence opposition globally... kind of. Much of southern Europe and the Iberian Peninsula had gone rebel. Pockets of resistance were strong and tolerated in Germany. The rest of Europe was with the Empyre or claimed neutrality. Numerous resistance groups operated there, but the people were afraid.
Without having to think about it most people knew – everywhere – that the Empyre would soon 'lash out at all resistance in the most brutal way. At such times in history strange things begin to happen. Cults, prophesy and art often expand. Many people are susceptible to new ideas, the hope of change and any strong or charismatic leader... Reality began to bend backward. Anything became possible including an acceleration toward Evil.
When the Sidhe left France in 1945, they left behind a seed – a powerful magic from
their own being... a child to be... THE GUARDIAN. (Awoken too soon! Or wrongly or?
Their magic failing?)
The appearance of the Sidhe was imminent to those who knew of such things. It is rumored that
magical beings have walked the Earth before. At the Times of the Floods, the 1918 flu epidemic and
then in 1943 in France to help the Resistance, they were there. There have been many cycles of the
human struggle and some of the wise think they will continue. But they could surely be wrong.
Everything about the time that we lived pointed to a moment when the balance shifts one way or the other. Magic had been dying out. As greed and the destruction of nature, urbanization and sprawl grew insanely, the spirit of the land and the people withered and changed. It's the time of the Desert. Now, all things dry up, as the rain of waters and problems washes out our nutrients.
Some kind of miracle or apocalypse was near. A young wizard's daughter, who looked 17 but was
actually over 100 years old searches for a Boy, a wizard who could change fates. She finds him, and he is a Sidhe. They are one of the magical beings who visit planets. But the girl's father – the last of the great wizards – had placed a spell of hiding upon the boy (possibly when he was wrongly awoken by events in 1980 or 86 – Reagan/Soviet threats/collapse). This last desperate spell had been too strong. Even the wizard's daughter had terrible difficulty finding traces of the boy – the Lost one. Our story begins with Ariel, the girl (The Wizard's daughter), bound and kidnapped by an evil gang who had a wizard backed by a Fallen, a Demon named Nazereth.
Arafel's Story
I Am Not Your Wish
The World has been torn inside out slowly...
Hi my name is Arafel. Here in the Resistance Underground I am mostly known as Ariel the Bandit Girl... or Ari for short. I know this guy, I've been following him for almost a hundred years. We grew up together in Romania... a long time ago before the big war in Europe. I felt sorry for Tristen, because he didn't have wizards for parents. His adopted parents and mine were part of a clan, a commune, that knew about magic and the Rise of the Sidhe Magic to come.
Tristen was the Sidhe Returned as we called him, but something wasn't right. My father was like the
greatest wizard in centuries and he was worried. I know you have heard the stories of how wizards worry about every little wish and even hopes and intentions.
Everything was right about Tristen, but everything was wrong. He didn't remember his ancestors and he had absolutely no power even at nine years of age. That's when we moved to Kansas in the US of A's. The great War was going badly for poor people... and wizards can only push things that tend to want to move. It's much easier to make it rain when its cloudy. It hard to wish hate and war would just end.
So, I practiced helping the corn grow in Kansas. (They were born in 1920 and the year of the book is
2020. SO they were 20 when WWII started and they went to Kansas.) Wizard children grow differently. They are much smarter at a young age than most children, but around eleven years they nearly stop growing or maturing in appearance. I was 13 for three years I think. That was 86 years ago and I still look barely 30 years old. Tristen looks like 22 at the most. I hear he hasn't aged in 70 years. We had to move at times and our clan slowly died off (Shadow helped?).
Finally we had to teach Tristen all that we could about magic and The Sidhe nature. He didn't believe us until we did some magic and then it all made sense.
At the end of the war when the US of A's used and tested many nuclear weapons, a tilt, we call it a
global premonition dawned. My aunt Michca was the greatest seer we had left … She died when the Shadow – we call it The Whim of Chaos – pushed a tornado into our farm. My father protected me but everyone else died.
Now that we knew the future we had to act. My father prepared a great spell.
Nothing like it had ever been tried... or at least noting like it had ever worked.
(Skips...) We had to leave Kansas and look for clan members in California and Croatia.
The second night that we got to the cabin, my father completed the spell. Greasy smoke lingered around the fire... I will always remember that time. It felt like I was a little girl in many ways... In some ways wizards never grow up... or else they would loose their magic... But they do grow old eventually and get bitter or book-absorbed trying to write down every wish that they ever did... Tedious, don't you think...
The year was 1986, the Year of The Devil we call it. But there isn't really a Devil. There are Demons and Shadows. And there are sorcerers and there is CHOAS. Chaos is not evil, no more than Winter is an evil Elemental for bringing the cold. The seasons and even forces like gravity and light are Elementals. So is the earth, the water, fire and the atmosphere. But these Powers are divided up so that they need each other in order to survive or to enjoy diversity. Chaos has all of the powers of the Elementals in his own hands. He is constrained in the use of his powers as all wishes are, or so we hoped.
Oh yeah, The Year of the Devil when George Bush Sr. took over the real power in the White House as
Ronald Reagan faded away the Hero of Capitalism over Sovietism. His election and the rise of his son
were predicted and confirmed the Call. Our story begins…
I never knew how much we consumed. It seems as if we are all appetite, as if a human being is
simply a bundle OF needs to drain the world. It's no wonder there are wars, no wonder the earth and water and air are polluted. It's no wonder the economy collapsed, if Eva and I use so much merely to stay alive... I sometimes think how much better it would be if we were to still our desires, slough off our needs for water and shelter and all this food. Why do we bother? What purpose does it serve? It just keeps us gasping a little longer... (p 135 Into The Forest)
