WARNING: The following writings contain controversial topics, statements, and ideas. If you are someone who takes things not meant to be taken personally, personally, then I suggest you do not read past this point. If you truly review your history, you will find that the brightest of lights have been quickly snuffed out, so as to not inspire others to burn as bright. Ignorance lays claim over morals and in the process, many people are promptly quieted by a select few. Those select few puff out their chests and carry a big stick and like sheep, the masses cower to a giant shadow cast by a tiny being, they pray to an invisible giver of hope, so as to avoid being eternally damned. As a firm believer in past lives, memories and emotions elicited by experiences I have never had this lifetime surface, and the best way for me to express them is through run on sentences that cascade over numerous stanzas and comma splices that extend the length of a page. So thankful I am to no longer be burned at the stake for being accused of heresy, simply for using herbs; but I, and others like me, are still shunned. So unfortunate it is that after decades of such unwarranted antics, I, as a peaceful protestor can still be shot for what I believe. There is a paper-thin barrier that keeps many from stepping out onto that hallowed ground of thought on which so many have lost their lives. I challenge you to listen to that burning in the pit of your stomach; because if you heed that feeling, you will find that it is pushing you to no longer fear the past that drips with the blood of those who spoke too loudly or were too "ahead of their time". Has no one listened to the silent screams of the invisible ghosts that haunt our past: those whom implore us to grow together and not against one another? I challenge you to stay who you are, no matter what others say. And if you are not yet ready to stand up to your own demons, I humbly suggest that you vicariously live through these writings.

So, here we are, all of us, lost in this mystical realm with zero memory of where we came from. It's like we all took the world's worst vacation, and now nobody can find their way back home. And guess what we have to guide us? A poem. Because why bother with maps or instructions when you can have cryptic, poetic nonsense? It's almost like Serenus wants us to play a twisted game of "figure it out before you die." Now, the world itself is a total trip. It's a magical land where anything is possible, except, apparently, for things making sense. But don't let the pretty flowers and magical buffets fool you-something's not quite right in this enchanted Eden. You've got all these resources lying around just begging to be used for peace, justice, and all those other warm, fuzzy ideals. It's like someone set up the perfect civilization starter kit, but forgot to mention that some of these folks are dead set on turning this dreamland into their own personal dystopia. And with their magical abilities, they're like toddlers wielding chainsaws-adorably dangerous, but mostly just dangerous. Meanwhile, me and my merry band of misfit friends are stuck trying to save this world from self-destruction. Because apparently, we're the only ones who read the brochure about this place being a "civilized society based on values." And while we're at it, I'm also on a little side quest to answer the age-old question: Who am I? It's not like I have bigger things to worry about, like, I don't know, preventing magical Armageddon or anything. With a charming mix of wit, sarcasm, and a healthy dose of "what-the-heck-is-going-on," the story of Serenus follows our nameless protagonist as they unravel the mysteries of this strange land, all while trying to avoid becoming dino-chow or the latest victim of a magical mishap. It's a tale of self-discovery, magical frisking, and just trying to survive another day in this oh-so-serene-and completely crazy-world.
