“No one wants to die.

Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there.

And yet death is the destination we all share.

No one has ever escaped it.

And that is as it should be,

because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life.

It is Life’s change agent.

It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Right now the new is you,

but someday not too long from now,

you will gradually become the old and be cleared away…”

Steve Jobs

Preface

Through verses, the author provides a captivating glimpse into Ouradiso and Thanagoras, two antagonistic realms filled with mystical beings and powerful figures in conflict.

The story is set against the background of Anthropolis, a world where jealousy, power struggles, and holy wars shape the fate of characters exploring their own trials and allegiances.

There are a number of timeless themes explored in the text, such as faith, redemption, and the afterlife.

As characters face existential dilemmas throughout the epic journey, these elements are seamlessly integrated into the narrative.

Throughout the poetry, spirituality and moral dilemmas play a critical role, encouraging readers to reflect on the complexities of human nature and the universal search for meaning.

It is the brilliant weaving together of allegory and adventure that creates a rich and immersive reading experience, drawing the reader into a world where every encounter holds a deeper meaning than the previous one.

Chapter 1

Prologue

If life is a school everyone is born to go, learn and grow,

Then death is our righteous final exam at the end of the life row;

The final exam preparing us for the next step after death:

The afterlife, the life after death, the afterdeath.

This final exam, fascinatingly, no life takes it without success.

Nevertheless, if every single life in its genuineness,

Is designed to brilliantly pass the exam of death,

Not every soul, unfortunately, sees what is there, thereafter,

In the afterlife, the life after death, the afterdeath.

For after death, there is a next journey for each rafter,

A next level one sees clearly, only through eyes of faith.

(Kingdom of Ouradiso)

The Sanctuary of Ouradiso is mourning,

For it has lost the loyalty of a great Archelektros, a brilliant morning

star, one of the greatest of the sanctuary of the Three-crowns.

No need having a facedown.

Mysterious Evil.

An irremediable Evil

broke into Ouradiso's sanctuary,

And took hold of the heart of a heart thirsty of power and glory.

An Archelektros jealous of the peculiar friendship

Grand-Omni-Devout was sharing with Alphypos,

His beloved alpha hypostasis

he appointed king and made ruler over Anthropolis,

Made up his mind to put a thorn in their relationship.

He descended to Anthropolis on his own chef,

Invited Alphypos to go on a ride with him,

Took him to the mountains of vain powers and wonders,

Where he pushed him in the deep arms of eternal mortality,

And then, went away with his gift of immortality.

There were three main orders of Ouranians

in Ouradiso’s almighty realms:

The Archelektros, the alphas of all Elektros,

the most powerful order of the kingdom,

The Parelektros, guardians and protectors of the sanctuary,

And the Elektros, servants of the throne, sentinels and channels

between the Three-crowns and all other crowns

and thrones of Anthropolis,

The land of the living, the kingdom of the Alphyposians.

This proud deceitful Archelektros,

Avatar of Evil, fathered a group of corrupt Parelektros,

And Elektros, and decided to be called Lord Mathmon.

In his daring pursuit of glory and lust,

He became the most famous and all common

source of eternal lost.

In his evil attempt to innovate a colpuscracy,

Mathmon led an attempt of jacquerie against Ouradiso's theocracy,

By trying to bribe Elektros

to let him sit on the throne of Grand-Omni-Devout,

Head of the stellar kingdom of the Three-crowns.

For him, there was no possible mercy, not even a tiny,

For evil has become a treasure his blood owns,

And which he cherishes and spreads around as fast as light,

Among Parelektros and Elektros he bribes with delight.

Up there, in the highest realms where can reach no eyes,

Ear-piercing thunder,

Flaming clouds, blinding lightning of wonder

were raging and roaring altogether in the ethereal skies.

The battle for justice was titanic.

Powerful shields against powerful shields,

Supernatural forces colliding with supernatural forces,

Flaming swords crossing flaming swords in a holy war,

Ouradistic powers fighting ouradistic powers,

Corrupted Parelektros being fought by genuine Elektros and Archelektros.

Up there, in the highest realms where can reach no eyes,

Ear-piercing thunder,

Flaming clouds, blinding lightning of wonder

kept raging and roaring altogether in the ethereal skies.

On top of the holy mount,

The battle for justice and godliness

has been marvelous, and the avatars of Evil and ungodliness

of the sanctuary, the Archelektros Mathmon

and his separatist armies of Parelektros and Elektros,

Fought with all the tenaciousness of their felonious face-loss.

Natheless, Ouradiso’s armies of loyal Archelektros

and Elektros did have no panic.

The power of righteousness

always triumphs over that of Evil and darkness.

The battle was titanic.

Defeated, Mathmon and all Ouradiso's

epitomes of evil were expelled.

From Ouradiso's northern idyllic valleys and regions,

Down to its southern majestic hills and waters and borders,

From its west to its east,

No more home for the expelled.

No more right of citizenship

for those who wanted to spill

Ouradiso and its Three-crowns Lordship.

Huddled together on board of their shameful empyrean warship

of chains of angry flaming phoenix,

Mathmon and his avatars of Evil were casted out with no mercy.

The need was such an emergency.

Anthropolis.

That was where Mathmon and his armies

chose to lay their eggs of evil and establish their headquarter.

And Anthropolis' first quarter

to experience the rage of the roaring expelled,

was Metropolis, the kingdom of the sentinelled.

(Kingdom of Metropolis, in Anthropolis)

Metropolis is the land of warriors,

A land of nuns, a land of nun-warriors.

Never before, has any man in Anthropolis

dared cross the gateways of Metropolis,

Without risking leaving it dead.

To keep its inhabitants surviving and increasing,

The most powerful nuns of Metropolis

Had to go out of their walls every nine-moons.

Every single nine-moons,

They have to go out of their secure gigantic and magical walls,

On a conquering campaign in other provinces of Anthropolis,

And they always return home conquerors,

With hundreds of slaves,

All females teen virgins, and little girls under the age of nine.

Their walls call for admiration and awe in all Anthropolis,

As no enemy has never before,

successfully crossed its impressive gates.

They were tall to the point of touching the sky.

When naturally activated at the sounds of giant blue flower-horns,

Prime sentinels of the kingdom,

Announcers of imminent enemies’ invasions,

The tall walls majestically rise up out of the lands,

And keep rising up until they touch the sky.

Metropolis, the land of impressive beauties,

The land of the most beautiful ladies

of Anthropolis,

Is a land of glories and sacred melodies.

Metropolis,

Land of wonders and wonderful female creatures,

Amazing organisms never seen in the local ecosystem of Anthropolis:

Tall Night-Scented Lilies,

Rainbow Mother of thousands, Arrowhead plants,

And large Pink woodsorrels dancing in the woods.

Variety of incredibly beautiful flying flowers

Singing various praising melodies to honor the queen of the land.

Birds of most beautiful existing colors

joyfully executing the beatific choreography.
