Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back! Before we begin today’s commentary, we’d like to give a small update. The paperback version of the Xyphokron is now available, so if you which to read along with a physical copy but want a more economical version, we now have this option; naturally the kindle version is still available and the cheapest version, but if you’d like to have the hardcover, it’s live as well. With that said, let’s begin the Commentary.

As we left off, we were following the actions of Deceptuary, still exiled in Gheisialez, and his attempts to escape into Xyphojinami by breaking his spirit up into fragments and transplanting them into vessels on Earth. Along with this, the formation of multiple religious factions have spread corruption and theigritism across the Earth—causing those devote Xyphoites to scatter and take refuge as the world slowly fell into corruption.  In this next chapter, called “Prophecy” we’ll continue this timeline.

“They, the remaining, would call upon the Hayles for an answer, solution to the plague that had wiped out their brethren and prompted them to slower eliminate their proofs and trails less they be taken and changed to vilify. To their fortune, the Hayles would answer and give instruction, as well as a rare foresight into the next phase.”

The remaining Xyphoites would pray for answers to the Hayles, and to their fortune, would receive an answer back. The Hayles, with their direct communication with the Lords themselves, relayed a most important message back to the Xyphoites across Xyphojinami but especially the dwindling population on Earth—the targeted world that Deceptuary chose to start his second rebellion. This message, the final sent from the Hayles to the remaining Xyphoites on Earth at the time, has been known since as the Prophecy, and is one of the most crucial messages that we in the Ordinance take as the call to action for what we are here doing now.

“And they shall descend upon the Earth and purify it of the theigrits. The Nine Descendants of the Xyphokonic Order shall come and defeat Deceptuary’s power. In our Prayer, we’ve heard the prophecy bestowed upon the chosen Xyphoites remaining in this realm of Life. Through our spiritual connections in Death shall stay the Knowledge of the prophecy—even in Death, our souls shall be engraved with the prophecy, and it shall be passed on to the next mortal form to which our souls shall take in reincarnation. The nine incarnates shall, one day, descend upon the Earth and destroy the center points of Deceptuary’s power here. By doing this, they shall kill Deceptuary’s power eternally. He shall give full might to combat them, but he shall not be successful. The nine incarnates shall bring him to Terigath for eternity. We shall be saved by the Sacred Children and Live once again in a world pure and sacred.”

The Prophecy, posted above, given to the remaining Xyphoites on Earth, informed them of the existence of the Sacred Children in Kyurakuzin who would eventually travel to Nikconzin and to the Earth to destroy Deceptuary’s vessels there and eternally defeat his rebellion along with sending each piece of his soul to Hell; this action would essentially bring balance to the Spectrum by ending Deceptuary’s corruption while also returning his spirituality to the Sacred Realm, albeit in a broken form and chambered in Hell. Nevertheless, the final deity’s spirituality will once again be with the other deities and functioning as a source of the attributes that originate from it in the core of existence.

The Prophecy also instructed the remaining Xyphoites on Earth at the time that they must commit ritual suicide and become martyrs; this action would grant them Heightened Reincarnation and encode this very Prophecy into their Selves. Upon being reincarnated as Daetos Idols in the most dire of times, these Xyphoites would regroup, form an Ordinance, and begin the arduous task of preparing our Earth for what the Prophecy states. One of those main duties, aside from introducing Humanity once again to the Knowledge of the Order and of the threat of Deceptuary, is to mitigate the suffering caused by corruption by conducting humanitarian deeds. As it stands, that is why this Ordinance exists, why we are here chatting with you now, and why we are working to establish a humanitarian effort to lessen suffering caused by both Hubris and also Deceptuary’s corruption and meddling.

“This message was also not lost to the likes of the Theigriet, who had caught wind of the hints of his prophetic demise. A being comprised and ruled by fear, the words of the Order, kept in clandestine as they removed their presence with intention, would plague Deceptuary’s every thought.”

“Forbidden Realmly Truth, privy to the defected deity, would dictate the clear limitation of the Moraghorzaus Xycrugon in its use towards Deceptuary’s being. He, a deity, would be of deity Spirituality, akin to that of Sacred Spirituality as the Lords would too possess. This, in return, would mean no other Realmly force could inflict Deathly harm to his being sans the other Sacred Spiritualities. Deceptuary believed himself to be untouched by any, and his scheme perfect.”

Deceptuary, through his emissaries on Earth, caught wind of this Prophecy as well. He had originally thought  his plan to be as perfect as it could be. Being a deity, his spirituality is both senior and above all other spiritualities aside from those of the other deities. As such, transferring his spirit into Xyphojinami as vessels and therefore making them mortal would pose no threat to him as there was seemingly no entity that could possibly destroy or kill his soul there.

“But the Lords had once again outdone him, and masterfully so. The Lords had denied Deceptuary privilege to a full incarnate, and while they could not eradicate him for his deity status offered ultimate protection, the movement of his vessels, now parts of his partial Mortality, seemingly protected by his deity Spirituality, would be acutely vulnerable to that of Sacred Spirituality.“

“And who had the Lords sent to the New Realm, realm or mortals, to which Deceptuary had been systematically transferring himself into, thus becoming part mortal himself? The Children, born directly of the Spirituality of the Lords, and therefore the only mortals in possession of Sacred Spirituality; the only mortals capable of touching the Theigriet’s vessels. Beyond just the touch, they could destroy parts of his soul and cast it to the Hell, chambered in eternal nightmare and Punishment.”

But upon hearing hints of the Prophecy, Deceptuary quickly realized he had been outplayed long before he even crafted his scheme in the first place. Whilst granting themselves the power to create direct mortal Incarnates and requiring an incarnate to have two divine spiritualities to take form, the Lords of the Xyphokonic Order had denied Deceptuary the ability to create his own direct Incarnate as he was both exiled in Gheisialez and no other deity would ever combine their spirituality with his to create an incarnate.

Along with that, each of the nine Sacred Incarnates of the Lords, being directly descended from them, would mean each Incarnate possessed Sacred Spirituality—the only type of spirituality that can destroy and kill Deceptuary’s vessels in Xyphojinami. And of course, Lord Kurakku had long-ago established all spiritual entities, upon Death, that are embedded with Great Theigritism would immediately be sent straight to Terigath’s Hell for all eternity—chambered and tortured. This meant that all of the vessels Deceptuary had already sent to Xyphojinami were acutely vulnerable to Death so long as they were destroyed or killed by one of the nine Sacred Children. Deceptuary had foolishly placed half of his spirituality in immediate harm’s way without even realizing it, and it was impossible to retrieve the fragments of his soul and transport them back to Gheisialez; they were now vessels in Xyphojinami until the point in which they would be destroyed and sent to Hell.

“Time would come soon when the Children would locate and destroy his vessels, and in haste, Deceptuary would need to fully move his being into Xyphojinami and inflict Deathly injury to the Children himself if his scheme were to have any means of fruition. The remnants of his deity being, withered and greened, a rotting corpse, would only need yet three or so transfers to complete his mortal formation, and so Deceptuary would need to act in haste to find more vessels.”

Deceptuary was consumed with fear and obsession with trying to hinder the possibility of his own Death, but he soon would realize his only option now was to hasten his full transfer into Xyphojinami as a fragmented mortal, locate the nine Sacred Children, and immobilize or kill them before they successfully destroyed all parts of his soul.

“The rare find, an aimless FaLelle in the outer reaches of Gheisialez, was the key. Along with a rotting soul with intact heart, acts of abhorrent Nature committed, he would transfer his Will of desperation into the FaLelle, and create a new being, cognizant and aware, a Living vessel.”

“The vessel, of which Deceptuary would name Zrabrevogue, would be sent to Xyphojinami and act in a new destiny. The captured FaLelle would be tasked with finding a strong Shianiki mortal and to bifurcate their soul in two, spawning two entities capable of accepting the final of Deceptuary’s Spirituality, and completing his transfer into Xyphojinami.”

Searching all of Gheisialez, Deceptuary stumbled upon a wandering FaLelle, and in an act of desperation, once again transferred part of his spirit into the blank entity. For the first time, Deceptuary created a living vessel that imprinted his most craven and desperate parts of his personality. The living vessel would be named Zrabrevogue and would be sent to Xyphojinami and specifically to Kyurakuzin to aid Deceptuary in finding more living vessels to hasten his escape.

“The locale, Kyurakuzin, would be the scene of Zrabrevogue’s ill-deeds. Directly, on the world of Xyanei, home to the Nine Children. Guile in his scheme, Deceptuary, acting through Zrabrevogue’s being, would seek a Shianiki close to the Nine Children and aim to corrupt the mortal, splitting them in two.”

Zrabrevogue was tasked with finding a Shianiki close to the Sacred Children with a strong enough heart and soul that they could be split in two, led down a path of destruction, and killed so that their souls would be cast to Gheisialez as partial beings capable of hosting a portion of Deceptuary soul each; he would then resend them back into Xyphojinami as powerful living vessels to do his bidding. By this point, Deceptuary’s body in Gheisialez had grown frail and withered as most of his soul had been transferred into Xyphojinami, so he estimated only two more vessels would be necessary to fully escape his exile.

“Of the ruling empire, the powerful and wealthy families of Shianiki that would surround themselves in the Children’s divine energy, would Zrabrevogue find the noble family by the surname of Orgiaku. He would descend upon them one unfortunate night as a dark being of torment, and demand they provide him with the first born of the family head’s offspring.”

Zrabrevogue would spend his time cursing and terrorizing a wealthy and powerful clan of Shianiki close to the Sacred Children known as the Orgiaku. After several generations of failed offerings, a child was finally born that met the requires giving to Zrabrevogue: a strong heart and soul.

“...In her brave and pure heart, the young Sanrui would defy the clan and offer her soul in sacrifice to provide a charm of Unconditional Love that would save her son, the babied Orgiaku. In the pact, she would openly declare that this sacrifice would rid the Orgiaku clan of Zrabrevogue’s curse, and she gave her Life. Unknown to the Theigriet vessel, the charm worked in secret too. Her charm has placed her own heart into the child. The desperate Zrabrevogue split the young Orgiaku into twin boys. In the process, Sanrui would die as per the pact of her charm. Thus, two Orgiaku sons would be, with one holding full heart blessed by his mother Sanrui, and the other, partial-hearted and ripe for Deceptuary’s toying.

As he demanded the sacrifice of the child. Unknown to Zrabrevogue, who was blinded by Deceptuary’s desperate conquest, the mother of the child offering had also outplayed the Theigrit. By sacrificing herself in an attempt to protect her child from Zrabrevogue’s dubious desires and to lift the curse on the Orgiaku family, she had placed a powerful charm on her child before said child was offered to Zrabrevogue. The child was then split into two separate living persons—twins with one holding a Terigath Pathan and one Holding an Aerigeth Pathan. The twin holding the Aerigeth Pathan, however, held within him the sacrificed heart of his mother. This charm effected protected this twin from ever falling into the hands of Deceptuary. Unfortunately, the other twin was still in Deceptuary’s hands and would very much fall into that fate.

“As planned, the broken and disheveled soul would find itself awaking in the rotting Existence far into the deep reaches of Gheisialez, where Deceptuary waited eagerly for yet another opportunity. To his great frustration, the motherly Sanrui’s charm had left the broken Karaka with only partial heart, as the true heart of the son was with the imprisoned Heaven-bound twin. This meant the horrid transfer would still be ineffective to moving the final parts of Deceptuary into the mortal realms. However, the fear of the Children destroying his soul would break the Theigriet, and he would use the rotting soul as is. Once again, transferring his Will of Pride into the broken soul, and in committing of the abhorrent acts, would Deceptuary weakly send the infiltrated Karaka, now a vessel of the Theigriet, back to Xyphojinami. The weakness of the transfer would still see a plague on Deceptuary’s scheme, as while his soul would be implanted in Karaka’s new mortal Self, the Will of the Theigriet was not strong enough to control the Self of Karaka, and Karaka was free to move as he wished, often being a defiant and bothersome piece to the puzzle. Still one last vessel was needed to move the feeble deity into the mortal realms.”

The clan, ashamed by the results of the curse and the sudden deaths of the mother and eventually the father of the cursed twins due to grief-stricken suicide, eventually decided to cast away one of the twins and raise the other. The son(s), named Karaka, would spiritually be linked but physically separated. To the misfortune of the clan, they had disowned the twin carrying his mother’s heart and had decided to raise the twin destined to be Deceptuary’s next vessel. After a life of great chaos, adversity, criminality, and eventually Death, the cursed twin would be cast out into Gheisialez and into Deceptuary’s hands

However, Deceptuary would soon discover the results of Karaka’s mother and her charm to protect her child. Her love not only denied Deceptuary both twins as his last two vessels, but because her heart was tied to the entire entity known as Karaka, Deceptuary would be prevented from fully controlling Karaka even after transferring his soul into Karaka’s body. Infuriated by this yet still filled with fear and Hubris, Deceptuary carried on with the horrid heart transfer anyway—inflicting Karaka with his greatest Will of Pride. As Karaka was tied to his other half and his mother’s heart, he retained his own Free Will to defy Deceptuary’s direct control, and prompted Deceptuary to earn his service rather than command it.

“The Time was dwindling before the Children would task themselves with fully locating and destroying his soul, so Deceptuary would bargain to the vessel Karaka, free of Will, to aid him in the grand scheme in exchange for immeasurable power. He would request of Karaka to breach the barriers of Time, and grant him the power to do so, and to task him with assembling all the greatest followers of Deceptuary’s legion, the mortals Deceptuary had used as anchors for all his vessels. He would ask Karaka to assemble them on Earth, the site of his coming, and for them to bring the vessels, to one place.”

Frustrated but running low on time, Deceptuary would promise Karaka great power and anything he could possibly desire for his future cooperation and then tasked him to return to Xyphojinami and assemble all of Deceptuary’s emissaries and vessels throughout time to one place. There, Deceptuary would conduct the final transfer and fully escape into Xyphojinami as a fragmented mortal.

And that concludes this chapter of “Prophecy.” As it stands, Deceptuary has transferred most of his soul into Xyphojinami out of fear of the Sacred Children and their ongoing operation of sourcing out his vessels and destroying them. We were introduced to the Prophecy and the existence of Human Daetos Idols that have joined together to form this very Ordinance. Next week we’ll go over the final chapter of the Xyphokron’s first book “Xykozheiz.” Until then, have a Sacred Day.
