“Kun-Li it is you who must insure the opening of the way for bridges of consciousness, and in doing so you can not allow your essences to be dissipated or corrupted,” the octagon shaped crystal whispered in a raspy voice as the young hexagon crystal glistening eagerly awaiting the wisdom of the elder crystal. The elder crystal flickered within the bank of mist that hovered over the water. “At the top of the mountain is where you must find the Kundalini and become one with the fire element.”
“The fire element…you mean I must confront the serpent of fire?” Fear cloaked Kun-Li like the setting of the midnight sky.
“Do not let your fears darken your light….how will you successfully complete the Rites in the denser plains?” Immediately Kun-Li’s ambient light was absorbed by the mist; beckoning Kun-Li to ride the mist to the mountains of the moon.
Gazing down from the mountain peak was the fierce Kundalini. Diamond shaped black onyx scales covered the powerful body that coiled around the mountain’s peak. The slitted emerald eyes watched the approaching mist. “Ahhhh another wishes to descend down into the abyss of dark matter. Huuuummm how interesting.” Patiently the serpent sat awaiting the ascending mist. Kun-Li could feel the atmosphere changing with every breath the serpent took as the mist swayed back and forth. The hexagon crystal wondered how the serpent would react; considering none of the other crystals or gems returned from the denser plains. Kun-Li attempted to fight back the fear that threatened to dominate. “I can smell your apprehension and almost taste the fear that threatens to ravish you.” Kun-Li paused debating weather or not to approach the serpent that had been destined to swallow up the bringers of fear. “Tell me….shell I devour you now or later?” Fire sprayed forth with every word burning away the mist that had concealed the crystal. Kun-Li’s illumination flickered frantically; being so close to the serpent’s muzzle.
“If you devour me I will not be able to fulfill my destiny.”
“But it is my destiny to devour fear….after all I am Kundalini.” Kun-Li thought intently,”I must master my fear,” over and over Kun-Li repeated like some melodic mantra until the flickering illumination became an ambient and steady glow.
“Immmmpresssive,” the serpent hissed. “So tell me….what is it that is one with the darkness? If you answer correctly you may mount the Kundalini…do not let your ignorance doom you. Kun-Li thought long and hard before answering. The serpents head weaved back and forth waiting for an answer. Kun-Li’s illumination began to pulsate, “it is in the darkness where all colors are one.”
“Immmmpresssive Kun-Li you have earned the right to mount Kundalini, but before doing so remember….alternative realities can be terrifying so remember to always master your fear and you will prevail as we descend into the lower realms; there we will rise up burning away all lower base instincts of the seven bridges of consciousness of the temple up to its apex gaining enlightenment fulfilling ones destiny.”
So with one swift leap Kun-Li and Kundalini was one vanishing from existence to fulfill their destiny leaving you behind for your consciousness to be painted back on to the canvas of your physical world in another dimension of the Chaos Chronicals.
