Excerpt from “The Ring of Fire“
It’s always cold inside the Icehouse – IceHouse
The wind was so cold.
For a few moments he couldn’t remember where he was, or what happened.
He was standing in the middle of the tallest grass he had ever seen.
The grass stretched for miles, and miles, gently swaying in the wind.
He felt groggy.
He spent the next few moments trying to get his bearings.
Then he heard a voice.
“There’s no love inside the icehouse”
The words kept playing over and over in his head.
“There’s no love inside the icehouse”
He looked up to the stars.
The blue moon was hovering over him.
He never knew it could look so large and bright.
He actually thought he could reach up and touch it.
Then he heard the voice of his mother’s spirit..
“You’re a child of the Zodiac”
“This is our sacred temple.”
“The Ring of Fire “
He looked around, and suddenly he was in the middle of a ring of twelve gigantic stones in a perfect circle, standing majestically in the moonlight.
“One stone for each sign of the Zodiac.”
Each stone was emblazoned by a mysterious blue lunar light.
A symbol on each stone burnt bright.
He looked to the west.
Something was coming towards him.
A young girl with white flowing hair, riding a majestic looking white horse.
She whispered softly.
“There’s no love inside the ice house”
The constellations sparkled.
“Every stone represents a guardian in the skies.”
He could feel the warmth of each stone’s fire.
He approached the nearest stone in front of him, watching it burn.
For some reason he could make out the ancient wording below the burning symbol.
“Gemini”
“The Twins”
This meant something to him.
It stirred an emotion.
He thought it might be a memory, but then realized it was in his future.
His intuition told him this.
He was ready for the
“The Secret of “The Ice House”
A lighting bolt shot down from the evening sky.
He saw a bright flash of light.
Then he was standing in an enormous cavern.
With giant walls made of ice.
He never saw a room so white and shiny.
The walls gleamed.
The cavern was full of icicles, all different sizes.
Some hung from the great ceiling, while others came up from the floor, he had never seen an icicle do that before.
He felt so small standing in the giant entry way of the great icy cavern.
Even the floors were made of ice, but they didn’t seem to be slippery.
He began walking down the giant corridor.
Suddenly he felt really cold, he began to shiver.
Then he heard his mothers voice.
“You can stop the cold. use your mind.”
He followed his mother’s voice.
The corridor began descending downward.
He walked through a maze of rooms all, shiny, clear, and wet looking.
It reminded him of the fun house they took him, and the other orphans to.
It seemed like ages ago.
Did time still exist?
Every wall he walked by, he saw a different reflection of himself, some were very distorted in size, faces, and age.
“These are your many faces”
He turned the corner, and he looked into another sheet of ice.
It was crystal clear, and seemed to be melting, then he saw.
“The Gemini Twins”
Deja Vu.
These were his twins he thought.
Yes the future.
The twins vanished.
Then for the very first time ever, he saw his mother.
She looked so regal.
Her short golden hair glowed, as it reflected off the ice walls.
The twelve jewels of her white crown blazed.
He realized that they had the same haunting emerald green eyes.
They looked more feline than human.
“Yes I’m exactly like you dreamed.”
“You have my eyes”
“The magical green eyes that define our race.”
“You will be King of this race.”
Then he heard the wailing screams.
“The Lost Souls are crying for you.”
“They know their King is here.”
“We are visiting the inside of a mighty sorcerers fortress right now,”
Then in a blink of eye they were back in the Ring of Fire.
“That visit will remain long in your spirit. It will be burned in the depths of your soul.”
“These lessons will exist long after the current human life that you have now is gone.”
“The Icehouse is the prison meant for your soul”
“It’s not wise to dwell there too long.”
“The sorcerer has been seducing you since you were a young boy.”
“He disguises himself in many cloaks and faces.”
“He’ll trap you inside with the most powerful gift you were given.”
“Your emotions.”
“He preys on them.”
“You have a mighty power that was born unto you.”
“I too was given this same gift.”
“I’m going to teach you how to master this mighty power.”
“You don’t know it but you will become the most powerful spirit in the world.”
“As I am now.”
“Every day he watches you get stronger and stronger.”
“He craves our power.”
“Don’t ever under estimate him or take him lightly.”
“One day soon you’ll be able to look him in the eye and challenge him.”
“Or truth be told you’ll be ready when he challenges you”.
“Yes he will challenge you.”
“He has made several attempts to capture you and bring you here.”
“He takes advantage of your loneliness.”
“He’s trying very hard because he knows you’re still too young to defend yourself.”
“But he is cautious because he knows I’m always close to you, because I’m your Mother.”
“You’ll never be a prisoner of the Ice House.”
“Never
“Your power will grow.”
“It will beccome so great that you will break the spell of his dark magic, and free the lost souls from his prison.”
“Including his most prized possession; that dwells inside his deepest dungeons”
“His dark queen.”
“My younger sister Kyrrae.”
“The Man’s reckoning will soon come.”
“Yes they call him the Man.
The sorcerer of the Ice House.”
“Satan”
“This is your destiny my son”
