The Way of the Threefold Path.
An IronAge.Media Prompt - The Succession.
Three strands that intertwine and meet. Three destinies walking separate paths that converge at a confluence of realities. An ending of three worlds and the story of those that fight against the tide that will merge all into one.
One for all. All for one.
No utterance of the divine name, the visage of the fractured whole. Three names of the one, The Muse, The Valkyrie, and The Pilgrim.
Three aspects that move the hearts of men which to common understanding is beyond their ken.
In time it has been perverted and called the demiurge for perilous are the paths of the visage of three that men came to fear the call.
So, men strayed from the path and some became enmeshed in the web of he that would call himself the one, Damien. He that would have men believe that the Sun rose, and Moon waxed from his grace. He that was born of the first woman in the shade of the tree of life who came to resent his siblings. The Poet, The Liar, The Crook.
His seven sons he sent among men as agents to destroy their body, their will, and their souls.
So did men mistake their lot as forsaken, and in their abandonment, they strayed, for the scale of fate is volatile, and winds of change are on the rise.
