A life without bitterness

In a world where equilibrium wavers under the weight of incessant questioning, and where the implacable law of the strongest prevails, we follow a young girl named Alice. She belongs to a line of adepts devoted to a divinity handed down from generation to generation for millennia. At the dawn of her 22nd year, Alice stands before the remains of an ancient civilization, nestled in the heart of a mountain shrouded in mystery, surrounded by an ancestral forest.

Her mentor, Arion, none other than her adoptive father, guides her on this quest for initiation. Alongside them, an enigmatic cat-like being in a rare harmony of blue and black, Lucie, accompanies them on their search for the path that will lead them to the discovery of truth.

Alice gazes in awe at the majestic ruins before her, a place that still echoes with the whisper of the wind through the foliage of timeless trees. These remains carry echoes of a long-forgotten civilization, and the atmosphere here is imbued with an intriguing, mystical aura. Her quest, marked by determination and curiosity, is clear: she aspires to unearth an elusive answer, a truth that has eluded the investigations of her predecessors.

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and the ancestral heritage that runs through her veins, Alice sets out to unravel the mysteries buried within these age-old ruins. In these forgotten places, she aspires to unveil the hidden meaning behind the enigmas of her tutelary divinity, in search of an illumination that could illuminate the destiny of her people and dispel the shadow of uncertainty that hangs over their troubled world.

Arion, his mentor and father, had passed on to him the legacy of this sacred quest. Together, they had traveled through uncharted lands, facing trials and discovering clues left by the ancient worshippers of the mystical divinity they worshipped.

Lucie, the blue-and-black-hued cat, was more than just a companion. She was a mystical creature linked to Alice's lineage for generations. Her gleaming eyes reflected the wisdom accumulated over the centuries, and her presence reassured Alice in times of trouble.

As they wandered through the ruins, Alice sensed an ancient energy flowing through the stones. Mystical symbols adorned the dilapidated walls, bearing witness to the place's glorious past. Arion guided his daughter carefully, lighting the way with a torch.

They finally reached the heart of the ruins, where a sacred altar stood. Alice felt a divine presence, a force that transcended time. She knelt before the altar, her heart pounding with anticipation.

"O ancient divinity, guide me to the answer I have sought for so long," Alice murmured, her eyes fixed on the sacred inscriptions.

Suddenly, a golden light enveloped the young girl. Visions flashed through her mind, flashes of key moments in her lineage's history. She realized that the answer she was looking for lay not in a physical place, but in an understanding of her own heritage.

Arion smiled with pride as he watched his daughter receive the ancient wisdom. Lucie gave a soothing purr, as if in celebration of this revelation. Alice's quest for a single answer had led to the discovery of the richness of her own history and the deep connection with the divinity that had guided her lineage through the ages.

The trio left the ruins, carrying with them the light weight of the truth found. The journey was just beginning, for now Alice had the wisdom to face the challenges ahead and guide future generations on the path of understanding and faith.

Arion looked at his daughter with mixed admiration and concern. He knew that Alice's quest was not over, that other mysteries and trials awaited him. However, he was confident in Alice's inner strength, nurtured by ancestral knowledge and spiritual connection to divinity.

( Guided by Lucie, the trio travelled through unexplored lands, crossing enchanted forests and steep mountains. At every step, Alice felt the benevolent presence of the deity who guided her in her quest for truth. The answers she sought were scattered in the enigmas of nature and the murmurs of the wind.

Over time, Alice met other followers, truth seekers from different parts of the world. They exchanged stories, shared knowledge and supported each other in their common quest. Each adept brought a piece of the puzzle, contributing to the building of understanding that was slowly being built.

The group finally found themselves facing an ancient temple, whose doors were decorated with mystical symbols. Alice felt that this was the place where the ultimate answer she was looking for was hidden. Guided by conviction and faith, she opened the doors of the temple, revealing a sanctuary forgotten for centuries.

Inside the ancient temple, the divine light illuminated every corner, revealing mural frescoes depicting the exploits of the ancient followers of the deity. The mystical symbols seemed to vibrate with sacred energy as Alice knelt before the altar, ready to receive the wisdom of divinity.

The voice of divinity echoed in Alice's mind, an inner murmur charged with power and wisdom. Welcome, faithful seeker of truth. You have come a long way to reach this forgotten sanctuary. What do you want to know?"

Alice gently raised her head, staring at the ancient inscriptions that seemed to come to life. O divinity, I seek the ultimate answer, the one that escaped my ancestors. What is the meaning of our existence, and what is the truth that has guided our lineage for millennia?"

The deity responded with profound wisdom, using symbols and images to communicate. She told the story of creation, explaining how each generation of Alice's lineage had helped weave the fabric of reality. She explained that truth was not a fixed entity, but rather a constantly evolving understanding of oneself and the world around them.

Arion, Alice's mentor, watched with admiration. "Daughter, you are the living link between our past and our future. The divinity guides you, but it is your inner wisdom that will enable you to decipher the mysteries before you."

Lucie, the cat with blue and black hues, emitted a sweet purr, as if he approved the words of the divinity. Alice felt an inner peace, realizing that her quest for answers was not simply a search for knowledge, but a continuous exploration of her own understanding.

The followers who accompanied him, amazed by the presence of divinity, shared their own experiences and questions. A spiritual dialogue was established, creating an exchange of ideas and perspectives that further enriched their collective understanding.

The deity concludes by saying, "The truth lies in the acceptance of uncertainty and the constant pursuit of wisdom. Embrace the richness of experience and guide future generations with love and understanding."

Leaving the temple, Alice and Arion walked side by side, absorbing the newly acquired wisdom. The golden glow that enveloped the group seemed to permeate the air, creating an atmosphere of spirituality.

Arion broke the silence with a benevolent look at his daughter. " Alice, my dear, how do you feel after receiving this wisdom of divinity?"

Alice thought for a moment before responding, her eyes reflecting deep introspection. Father, I feel a stronger connection with our history, with the divinity that guides us. It is as if every question I asked was an added stone to building our common understanding. '

Arion smiles with pride. "You have matured, my daughter. The quest for answers is not an end in itself, but rather a way to better understand our own existence and our place in the world. The divinity has shown you the way, but you will have to follow it with discernment."

"Yes, father," Alice nodded, feeling a mixture of gratitude and determination." I now understand that the truth lies in the journey itself, in the constant search for wisdom and understanding. Our lineage has an essential role to play in this great tapestry of existence. '

Arion placed a hand on Alice's shoulder, expressing deep fatherly love. "You are the guardian of our heritage, Alice. Your path will sometimes be strewn with shadows, but I know you will find the light in and around you."

Lucie, the mystical cat, rubbed herself against Alice's legs, emitting a soothing purr. Alice smiled, feeling the comforting presence of her fellow travelers.

The group continued their journey through unexplored lands, carrying with them the light of wisdom. The exchanges between the followers became richer, each question becoming an opportunity for learning. Their steps were now guided not only by divinity, but also by the shared understanding that united them.

As they advanced, Alice turned to Arion. "Father, what are the next steps in our quest?"

Arion smiles at the distant horizon." The next steps will be revealed as we go, my dear. The journey is just beginning, and each step will bring new questions and answers. Let's stay open to discovery, because that's how we will grow together as seekers of truth. '
