Meet the Lord of Despair and Cruelty.
Mr. Mellifluous and the Lord of Despair and Cruelty
The sun had peaked through for awhile, but once again you find yourself in darkness. “There is much darkness in this part of the realm,” Mr. Mellifluous sighs. Suddenly you encounter a door and open it, hoping to find shelter for the night.
A woman sits up in a bed, her hands covering her eyes, as though she is trapped in deep despair. Nine huge swords, three of which almost seem to pierce her, hang upon the black wall. The scene is so depressing that you wish you were back in the garden with the lovers and the Archangel and the golden sun.
Suddenly you and Mr. Mellifluous are back in Eden. The Archangel speaks, “The lightning bolt of Mars can disrupt your world and leave you in a dark night of the soul, where you are cut off from the higher spiritual dimensions. In that dark night, you end up projecting your anger and fear outward at others, and your despair turns to cruelty.
The Burners
"The unbalanced force of Mars manifests as The Burners. Those fiery devils sear and scorch your very soul. They glow as they blister and broil you. Their flames ignite hatred and anger that smolders and smokes. They want burn everything around you down to the ground. More than anything, they love ashes.
The Tower: Mars
“But Mars is also a God of the cleansing power of Fire, a force that can eliminate feelings of defeat and loss and conflict and inner poverty that keep you mired in darkness. The power of Fire can eliminate all negativity and open up the higher dimensions of the mind and spirit so that you experience the freshness of the garden once again and know your immortal essence.
“In the darkness, the Moon can guide you, illuminating the symbols of the subtle forces that connect you to the spiritual dimensions.” Suddenly you notice the faint symbols interspersed with red roses on the blanket of the suffering woman, and you unexpectedly feel hope that the woman will overcome her despair and experience the power of the life-force on all levels of being.
As Claire glided over a desert, she noticed a fiery knight down below her. As she winged down to the ground, his horse suddenly reared when she got close to him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle your horse!" Claire exclaimed.
"Don't worry, he does that all the time. I think he's just getting used to my power."
"What kind of power? If you don't mind me asking," Claire's voice suddenly trailed off as the horse reared again.
"It's an awesome spiritual power, a kind of passionate willpower, I think." The horse reared again. "I'm not sure that I am totally in control of it yet!"
"Oh, my! You sure it isn't my fault?"
"Oh, no. It's this wand. It's kind of complicated," he yelled as his horse reared again. "I am a Knight of the Element of Air, which means I use my mind, my intellect, whatever you want to call it, all the time. But this wand--when I hold this wand, I feel the element of Fire, which gives me passion--it's a passionate spiritual will, which I can use for the highest good--if I can control it!" His horse reared again. "Whoa," he shouted several times until his horse settled down again.
"But why are you here--in a desert?"
"I have searched forty days for the pyramids so that I can study the great mysteries and learn the secret powers of passion and knowledge, and I have finally found them. As you can see, the pyramids are right over there, and I need to explore them now!"
"Okay, good luck!" Claire shouted as he rode off, his horse rearing several more times as he approached the pyramids.
Go on a different adventure with Mr. Mellifluous.
