Strife (A Dedicated Story)

The God and Goddess of Love and Damnation
Are the most Pitiful and High couple to exist
While either in copious amounts bring death and sorrow
Together, their eternal love may persist...1

While a God may writhe, in seeking his Light from Torment...
Her Light, may be devoted eternally without sight...
For while One God is blind, the other without body
This couple's love surpasses all time and might.2

Once upon a Time still existent...3

Two lovers meant the world to one another. In each other, they found perfect harmony, like any true lovers could. Their minds were significantly evolved, their souls were Just right... so that the two could love each other, only each other, and live Happy despite their decaying world and primitive form.4

This Male Lover was a gifted gentleman of the mind, that had survived Years of Strife, and found Love at every corner before maladies could turn him bitter. Feeling Blind yet aware of his spiritual nature, cloudy minded, and bitten with confusion and uncertainty, the young male dubbed himself a Blind Fool: For he dubbed himself always incapable, and always too late. He never mastered his self-hate: but found that the love in his life, the Only love, his true partner, had mastered it for him. Truly, there was a select One person in all the realm he Absolutely knew he could grant his love to... and, for once... Also love himself under her light...5

The Female Lover was one that was granted a less gratuitous life. She was confronted Early on and throughout life, with knowing Nothing but the void and primitive souls that surrounded her. Her dreams haunted her, telling her of the Truth, of the existence of spirits around her, and of the feeling that she was missing. Having even born two children, into the life she generously coped with, She at last developed the impulse to search for other souls. And she met her Shadow then...6

Amongst the entangling web of tales and fate, lay a creature so misconceived, that she could only be taken as a high angel or goddess of her own sort. Filled with everlasting greed, darkness, and susceptible to drama, this Queen of the damned ran her own realm, How else but by surviving off the love of others. And what this Mistress of the misled craved, in her greed, more than anything, was an idea so foreign to her, that she came close to on so many occasions; She longed for a Child. Many Children.7

The Male lost his love to her, the Queen, and in turn grew his devotion to keeping Her at bay and others unharmed. Despite any of her sorrows, and the misconceived heart that opened wide its Black Hole, almost daily, The Male stood by her... Ready to call her his Love... in emotional sacrifice. The Queen also tempted him with something else; She knew of the magic and spirits, that the Male sought to learn and help with. Blindly, he fell right into her Charm.8

The Female lost her love to her, the Queen, by following the figure of a dying man that the Queen had put up. Falling into pools of lies, the Female corrupted herself to tell her Own fictional tales of spirits and wonders. She told tales, because it seemed to be what the rest told. She gave love, to fictional wounds. And, to this figure, this dying man, She would submit her love in that one last effort to send a dead man the smile she never knew. 9

What the Queen had not foreseen, was that the meeting of her two closest pets, could end with the loss of Both. 10

Instantly attracted to the secret generosity and love, behind the Female's Tale, The Male was drawn to her. And while he was blind to the spirits and magic enough to follow on her word, heart and soul despite her stories, the Female grew to know a Love she had never seen before: Even though it seemed to disguise itself as the emotional flattery that others, and She, constantly saw.11

The Queen, caught up in her own dramas and affairs of her other lovers, left the young Male and Female for too long.12

For after several months... the two had secretly fallen in deep amour.13

The Male and Female ravished one another. They loved each other beyond the world itself. The Male's self hate was first to peel away, as the Female's persistence was so considerate of her Love, and yet so unwavering... the Male could not stand up to her. To hate himself, was to hate what this Goddess loved. And Certainly, She was a Goddess.14

The Female's lies were second to peel away; she had made the gradual effort to slowly peel away the false hearts and souls she had created... slowly bringing circumstances back to her Own life... and even feigned confusion. However, the Male felt every heart ache, every loss, and every change she created until the burden was too much for her to bear. She confessed, and the Male's heart shattered. And yet, strangely enough by her views... the Male clung always, and devoted himself...15

...with a token of Engagement.16

The Queen had finally arrived back to check on her two Lovers... Although, the moment she lay eyes upon the couple, her very soul writhed. Not only were her two Lovers in each other's arms...17

...and not only was there Engagement and devotion between them...18

...But the Female's belly was beginning to swell, with new Life.19

In her fury, both Lovers still tried to tend to the Mistress, for she was still one whom brought the two together, and their generous souls, until the Male sensed the most ill foresight in all his existence.20

Watching his future wife, and carrier of his child, try to Consolidate the misled Mistress, the male felt that chaos and dark in the Queen grow.21

He attempted a warning, but how could he, for the love of his life? This was her Will. And the Queen immediately reminded him of his blindness, and self hate... And so, the male stood down... until he could not any longer.22

In one last desperate throw, he tried to steal his Love, from the raging and writhing Mistress, only to find he was too late to save the child, His child, within.23

The Female's heart was lost to turmoil, and the Male's was lost to darkness... as the gift of their love, was taken from them, whole; Not only a Child, to them... but something the Queen failed to completely comprehend; Their little girl, A Future.24

A Life..25

Their wounds would mend... but they shall never forget...26

Somewhere out there, in spirit with her mother and father...27

Lay the true Goddess to Love... taken before she was given a chance, by the forsaken Goddess, and world...28

Justice and Love born in her very seed.29

May she watch you, now, as you've just read her tale.30
