The timeline

truly yours

What if what you truly believe in, something you truly need becomes unavailable, or not there. What if the trust is broken repeatedly until you find yourself trying to get the broken pieces and find yourself trying to attach them together.

Yours truly.

Truly yours.

Creating a bond with someone, does require certainty, that both person will maintain integrity and value the bonds.

But bonds can be shattered.
Whether it is by the external force or internal reasons.

What exactly are principles and the laws of nature exactly? What law will propell us forward? For what reasons do we deepen our bonds? And how do we deepen them?

Deepening bonds at this moment was hardly in Demark's mind at that moment. He did value his kith and kin, and his fellow citizens. But seeing the priest in his darkest and most uncompromising form gave Demark such a scare he wouldn't have felt in watching a hundred horror movies.

Your truly.

The words came like a ringing bell to Demarks mind giving a suggestion that it was time to change course like changing subjects at school.

Your truly.

Demark woke up, face and head all sweaty. He knew instantly that it was a dream. But something about that dream wasn't just expressing the unconscious. It was also predicting the future, and also had some deep connection to the past. And for the first time Demark felt inarticulate about his past.

Someway and somehow he felt an unexplainable type of pain. The anxiety of the dream still lingered on.

His mother entered the room. "I heard screaming" she said.

"I am alright" replied Demark despite feeling the contrary.
He believed that the dream was such that had a rare occurance and that would not occur again.

Little did he know that the dream would be repeated.

"Just take care of yourself, OK?" His mother said with concern.

"Sure, mom" replied Demark.

In the year 1990, a natural disaster had taken place. The people had been affected with the natural disaster and some died and some were injured.  The natural disaster was an earthquake.

The natural disaster was based on the fact that there were two different continents, two different massive pieces of land initially. The lands would over a huge stretch of time, crash and join together, forming the mountains. However the tectonic plates would remain, and therefore every 75 years the earthquakes would take place.

There were casualties among the people who would even though prepared fall victim to the calamities.

Demark remembered the earthquake at the temple and shuddered. He wondered if the earthquake was really due to the priest.

He finally came to a conclusion that the periodic earthquakes were a natural disaster rather than an artificial one. But then again the priest must have had some control within the temple, that made Demark stunned or feel shaky.

And those white portal, as if looking at a whirlpool of milk but vertically instead of horizontally. The deep unknown that layed through the portal and the known monstrosities jumping out of the portals.

Demark thought he would rather not think about it.

Those monstrosities whose face resembled lions except that the teeth were somehow covered in blood. As if they never have satiety. Thirsty and hungry, it seemed blood covered fangs had been repeated used but never satisfied the monstrosities.

"Why?" Demark contemplated. He had not asked for this. He just wanted knowledge of different subjects.

But the way he saw the village had changed. After reading the books he had got, he developed a new kind of appreciation for his village. His new understanding about plants and animals, led him to appreciate life on earth more.

Expanding perspective he thought.

After that he thought of the logic behind consciousness and existence. Did something like faith and the ultimate consciousness influence existence. If so why were there so many differences kinds of faith and ways of looking at the ultimate consciousness.  Contemplating deeply about these thing made Demark think deeply.

Why did the ultimate consciousness, if so kind gave create such monstrosities?

He pondered and couldn't come to a certain conclusion. Therefore, he decided to think about it later.

He had once read that wolves protected the grassland. He understood the way the wolves would reduce the number of wild herbivores in the North. In such places where wolves lived, nomads would also live with their cattle. The cattle would grow hungry if there was too many herbivores. The wolves reduced the competition for food for the cattle.

In other words, the wolves allowed the grass to remain plentiful, therefore were called the protectors of the grassland.

Such a noble way at looking at a particular carnivore. Thought Demark.

Yet he knew that in the far north such animals were regarded with great faith. Therefore he thought it was part of the ecosystem. Ecosystem  was a word which he learnt at the top of the temple. It meant that different plants and animals lived together in harmony and existed as a whole. For example food chains consisted of different trophic levels. Decrease in one trophic level would affect the rest.

Wolves also belonged to one of these trophic levels.

Demark could not help himself to not compare between the wolves, who just like the monstrosities in the temple, both had fangs and could probably rip off a hand or two.

Demark did what he believed and was based on his perspective. The choices came out of his beliefs and actions. The reason came as a result of observation and logic.

His own belief system was based on the knowledge he had from books and experience. He knew that something new and interesting was the result of getting things together. New insights and synergy in one's owns habits.

There were obstacles in achieving true unity with one's own self. There was pain and anxiety. There was such roadblocks, unexpected events and came with choosing such a path. There were a lot of pain in choosing a path.

But despite everything, Demark was happy to feel that he was alive and free from danger.
