Beyond the veil. The three words together have been used many times by innumerably different people in countless distinct ways. I have a specific understanding of the phrase.
Why is there suffering? Why are so many treated so horrendously? Why, when I meditate, am I able to visit places where there is no suffering, has never been, will never be, that are just as real as Earth, right now? The beings there are able to live, learn, and evolve with complete individuality, without having to suffer or be hurt to learn.

"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker
40 parts Complete
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

He tightly grabs me by my waist and he holds me in place while I still continue to get captivated by whatever it is that is happening here. "Tell me what you see." He commands in a voice that sounds so beautifully smooth and pleasant to listen to. My words are choked up and I can't even begin to explain what lies in those eyes of his. Something about his presence is reeling me in, pulling me more soulfully closer to him, something that i am not even sure is possible but I feel this connection to him, this ancient ancient connection, like I had seen him before, like I had known him for a long time, a life time. And the way he's holding me !!! He feels familiar and yet I don't even know who this man is and it would be crazy if I told him that I've seen a Storm in his eyes, a storm that I had never seen anything like it in my life. It was beautiful and enchanting. Everything that he Is at the moment. "Nothing... I didn't see anything." I lie, as my mind fully gets back to me again, and the storm finally dissappears. He let's go of me and i move to stand on my own. He looks at the features all over my face before he furrows his thick brows, in concern while he continues to stand awfully close to me and gosh he smells so good. A huge strike of lightning echoes outside before immediate rain starts pouring outside. I could have sworn that there was a zero percent chance of rainfall tonight, it was clear and there were no clouds insight, the ocean below the balcony starts to get angry too as the waves get aggressive and the moon looks as vibrant as ever right now. We both look outside before we look at each other again. "Are you sure that you saw nothing ?" He asks and I nod my head at him. "Nothing..."

Goddius I am content to see the rotation of light.... turn into darkness then back into light. Which is the same as it goes into night from light right back into night. I am delighted and pleased to see the sky and seas, the land which is firm with grass that is green and plenty of trees. I'll make sure they have lots of fruits and veggies.... that will come with its own seeds to full each of their bellies... And I'll grow it all over.... To cover their needs daily. And I must not forget to thank Mother Nature...she helped me line up the sun, stars and the moon she did it so fast, the time goes by so soon. Then I filled up the oceans with small and big fish... crabs, oysters, shrimp. Whenever they like, they can have as much as they wish. I put birds in the sky that knew how to fly, so that they'll know without my call they could only soar so high. I put some animals to be admired and some to be hugged, livestock to be eaten and some to be rubbed. Yet I saved the best for last and you will walk in my image, but respect the atmosphere because you're the ones living in it.... Now the only thing left to do, is to wish it all true, if you want to come to heaven then do as we do.... Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven... Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven...Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven. Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven! I see nothing but goodness from this. Only if he knew of all the chaos going on in heaven before he wished it upon us.
Scattered Dreams & Dragonflies by ChristopherMCuevas

Our minds are an enigma: On this road we call life, we learn many things. Experiences, chosen by many, and yet lived uniquely through each of our own eyes. These experiences mold us subtly and steadily. Over time, we mature into the beings we are today. Whether they have been for good or for bad, these experiences are an undeniable part of us as we live and breathe. Those experiences, those past blessings, those past mistakes lead us to learn more about the world. We learn to interpret nature and the many physical experiences we have day by day, around others who are the protagonists of their own stories. We also learn, however, more about ourselves-our strengths, our weaknesses. Our mind slowly traverses the world in an attempt to learn more about it; such is the voyage of the mind into itself. With this book, Scattered Dreams & Dragonflies, I attempt to delve deep into those tiny bits and fragments our mind recreates when we are at rest-our dreams. I believe our dreams are of high value, as the mind, when we are conscious, constantly restrains itself, adjusting to our maturity and moral compass. By this metric, we are then tied to the constraints of mundane existence; thus, our awareness keeps us tamed and under control. When we sleep, I believe our minds let loose, freeing all our tension, all our wants, all our undeniable truths, failures, and pains. Just like AI, it creates something out of everything we are. Everything we strive to hide from reality, everything we only wish could be possible, everything we feel is impossible-all of it has its space in our minds. As we sleep, those chains are lifted, and we become our most authentic selves.

The world does not know pain. Not yet. The stars hang too peacefully in the sky, the air is too clean, and the people-they breathe too easily. They laugh, they love, they dream. They do not know what true suffering is. Max Morbarius will teach them. He was once a man. Once fragile, once weak, once breakable. But pain reshaped him. They tore him apart. They drowned him in agony. They thought death would claim him. They were wrong. Something ancient whispered to him from the abyss. Something hungry. Something that found his agony... beautiful. It did not offer salvation. It did not grant peace. It tore his soul from his corpse and stitched it into something monstrous. Now, he does not kill for justice. He does not kill for revenge. He kills because it makes the world scream. He moves like a shadow through the night, his presence an infection, a creeping plague of fear. He does not just slaughter his enemies-he peels them apart, nerve by nerve, bone by bone. He drinks their suffering, paints the walls with their entrails, carves their sins into their skulls. Their agony is his masterpiece. Their blood is his baptism. But he is not the worst thing that crawls from the dark. There are others. Things lurking beyond human understanding. Eldritch horrors with endless mouths, gods that demand rivers of suffering, nightmares that fester and grow in the rot of his carnage. And they whisper to him. They watch him carve, rip, and mutilate. They want more. They are waiting for him to unleash his true form, to let go of what little remains of his soul, to become the thing they always knew he could be. The Red King of Ruin. The Harbinger of the Fleshstorm. The Father of Agony. And when he finally lets the madness consume him... The world will not be reduced to ashes. It will drown in an ocean of screaming, writhing, bleeding flesh. Because death is not the end. It is only the beginning.
Finding the Fallen by tmmartin74

Kala had always thought of herself as normal, but when the world ended, cleansed by a power most would fail to understand, she realized she was far from normal. That day, Kala awoke in a fog surrounded by a nothingness that permeated every pore of her body. The only sounds she could hear were her own ragged breaths in the vast and empty darkness. When the light finally returned, she found herself utterly alone and suddenly part of a struggle much bigger than she'd ever thought possible. With that struggle came something else...power. Power to control the elements. Power the likes of which she had only seen in movies or read about in books. Despite her disbelief, it remained...right there in the palms of her hands. Eventually Kala learned to use her power as it was intended. As she wandered the new world, she met others like herself, other Servants with similar abilities who understood the reason for the destruction...for the loss. And then, six years after her world turned upside down, she met him. A handsome stranger in a tiny town in the middle of the West Virginia woods - not a Servant - not like her. And certainly not the type of man Kala had expected to find herself falling for. But the man she met there turned out to be more than just a hero in her time of need. At her side, he would become a protector, leader, confidant, and so much more. Together, they would find themselves fighting a growing evil...a man like Kala, who had been granted power beyond words or description. He might have been a good man once, but his fall was nearly complete. And now he desired only to rule - not to heal. This man would lead a small army against them, but they wouldn't have to fight alone. There was another, more powerful force on their side...one that could change the course of the war to come.
