The Rising Star

The Blue Knight took up his quill thoughtfully and began to write. It was very warm in the bakery as the ovens were being prepared for the first bake of the day.

The Tree of Serpents

The Tale of the White Stone

I am so sorry, said the person who entered, The door provided less resistance than I had imagined. She turned and closed the door softly.

Then, stoopingContinueContinue reading “The Tale of the White Stone”

The Door Between Us

The Caveman sat in his Cave dressed in clothes of coarse cloth and contemplated the paucity of his understanding, I do not know, he thought to himself. The Queen sat upon her throne in the great hall, dressed in fine silk robes and bedecked with jewellery. She contemplated her inability to discover the truths withContinueContinue reading “Level Six – I Don’t Know”

Level Five – Look Around. What do you see?

Now that we have seen a lie, said the Caveman, and we have found ourselves, we must look outwards and find the ways that we can understand that which is shown.
