The Journey to the Temple Isle — Miah Ferraro

Having traversed the vast wilderness of Opiah, Theo Tagibi is confronted with the darkest shadows yet along his journey. His path leads him deep into the darkness, unraveling before him as a road of mystery, adventure, and deathly chaos. Veiled in the shadow of the tyrannical City of Kiow, the market town of Durkal begins to reveal its secrets to him. Ajna, of the Outlaws of Durkal, takes him beneath her blackened wings and introduces him to her territory, the concrete jungle. From the mists of the Tempe Isle, the monks of the Niwa await their arrival, for these adventurers bring with them the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. The clans unite against the coming empire and as the Blood Moon rises, the Banner of the Phoenix prepares the city's demise…. The saga is a tale of truth, wrapped up in an epic fantasy adventure, with hues of horror and undertones of sci fi. An age-old story of rebellion against oppression and tyrannical empire, secret societies and government corruption; essentially, the war against nature and the machine. In one hand we have transhumanism and the mechanization of civilization that will eventually rob us of our humanity and therefore of our identity as a symbiotic organism; born to live alongside the Earth and not to conquer and destroy the very planet we walk upon, essentially burning our ecological candle at both ends. It is not the technology that is the problem, it is how this advancement in human intellect and engineering will be used and inevitably affect our destiny. It could, theoretically, free us from our limitations and advance us to the next level of human evolution, or, it could enslave us and destroy those last remaining remnants of our natural connection to the Earth and the multiverse. The 1% of oligarchs, the ruling elite, use the technological advancement for nothing more than unquestionable control and a totalitarian domination over the human spirit, the final enslavement of humanity. Keeping the populous ignorant of the walls that are being built around them, through segregation. The hedonistic domination of humanity by divide and conquer, the suppression of technology and information, the manipulation of history to keep us blind and unable to see through the vail. With elements of esoteric mysticism and metaphor, The Tagibi Prophecy series, is a journey of self-discovery, through the poetic rendition of the mythological archetypes that dwell within the human collective subconsciousness, with one goal, liberation of the soul and mind. Like many other ancient mythologies, each time the tale is read there is more to be discovered, prying open the mind into a realm of infinite possibility and wonder, as each layer of the story is peeled away. As the adventurer, you the reader will join Theo and Ajna upon their journey, through the darkness and into the light. Every reader will see what they wish to see and hear what they wish to hear; what you take from this tale is inevitably down to you. Good luck upon your quest, whatever it may be. - Miah Ferraro
