Dark Fairy: A tale of Civilization

A gov't-specter goes into the deep forest to meditate on fairy-intelligence and receives illuminations about tribulation-dogma.

A vignette about civilization reflections, inspired by the film Fairy Tale: A True Story. Hope you like it (and thanks for reading!),

The world was filled with great spiritual tribulations in the modern era of civilization, including the petroleum-capitalism driven Gulf War of the '90s and the great Coronavirus quarantine of the early new millennium (2020). These great tribulations inspired movies and artworks that re-presented humanity's wrestling with great social mobilization.

As a retaliatory spiritual backlash against these complex developments and trials, there arose great interest in pedestrian creativity or 'comic book art' celebrating or presenting outrageous 'super-human' characters or 'avatars' like Batman, Leatherface, Flash, Catwoman, and Tintin, and their characterizations were stamped upon children's doodles in schools and homes re-presenting mental imaginations about transcending difficulty with disjointed forms of self-visualization.

The city was corrupt somewhat because of a rampant form of globalized capitalism, and the traffic of 'blood-diamonds' (warlord-mined gems from Africa/Europe used to fund terrorism!) created further complications in the modern civilization imagination about the geometry of commercial highways and profit-driven activities. Indeed, the city sky was glowing with an eerie metaphysical feeling of glowing intelligence.

An Algerian-American blood-diamond infiltration-agent named Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) works for an advanced covert paramilitary organization called GI Joe and works with Interpol-relations as a ninja-thief performing dastardly/daring bank-robberies of blood-diamonds from safe-boxes in banks owned by corrupt capitalism-barons.

STORM-SHADOW: My job is to wield unusual tools/weapons and transfer terrorism-financing gems for continental diagonals!

Amidst all this real-life civilization intrigue, Amlan began to wonder, almost like a 'priest' of sorts, if this overly-indulgent commercial or philosophical 'intrigue' facilitated a certain form of tribulation akin to the Biblical idea of the Great Tribulation occurring at the End of Days, when the 'dragons' of vanity arise to make civilization simply too...pensive.

INTERPOL (Euro-Police): Blood-diamond corruption today threatens the entire world diamond-exchange!

Amlan ('Storm-Shadow') decided to take some time off from Interpol-relations 'blood-diamond' intrigue and start studying the lore and myth behind the folk-tales of 'fairy-creatures' (winged humanoids of the forest, tiny relatively, who offer metaphysical ideas/notions of immortality and/or omens!). Amlan ('Storm-Shadow') started to learn about these unusual humanoid creatures with wings who haunt the Earth's forests and exhibit signs of omen-wisdom or cautionary intelligence. Amlan decided to get a Fairy-lore book from a Georgetown library and headed into the forest on the East Coast, the Pine Barrens of New Jersey (USA), and wanted to investigate the 'illumination-presence' of the fairy-intelligence. 

AMLAN ('Storm-Shadow'): The fairy-intelligence is found in the forest undoubtedly and may complement my Bible readings.

Amlan packed his bags and headed into the Pine Barrens, the rich and dark and dense forests of New Jersey (USA), where there were various unusual folk-tales of unusual cryptic semi-human 'creatures' said to be haunting the woods, including the eerie Jersey Devil. Amlan Satan made a campfire in the Pine Barrens and read from his Fairy-book aloud under the night-sky and started meditating on the relationship between the Biblical idea of the End of Days and the omen-wisdom offered by fairy-lore.

AMLAN ('Storm-Shadow'): I think if I start to make some etchings/sketchings of forest-intelligence/life, I'll see dreams!

Amlan did indeed have some strange visions and encounters. He went into a deep-sleep one night in the Pine Barrens forest while reading his Fairy-book and had a feeling that he'd been 're-awakened' to wander around the forest with his flashlight. He walked and walked until he encountered what seemed to be a GREEN FAIRY.

----

GREEN FAIRY: The Tribulation of civilization you inquire about regards the manipulation of great network vanity indulgences and capitalism-driven power-suppression related to the corruption of exchanges between real human beings, turning men/women into bloody wolves.

----

Amlan was horrified by this premonition-message offered by this strange but insightful 'naturalism' fairy called Green Fairy. He decided to walk ahead and on in this 'dream-experience' and encountered a new fairy some distance ahead, the RED FAIRY.

----

RED FAIRY: What you're seeking are answers to the civilization-problem of bloody murder and anarchy in the lust of men, all created by the hierarchy of capitalism-imagination, for which the only possible 'cure' is a complete spiritual catharsis...or mental clarity of blood.

----

Equally horrified, Amlan ('Storm-Shadow') continued to walk on into the Pine Barrens forest in this 'dream-experience' and soon encountered yet another fairy, the mysterious and enchanting but offset BLUE FAIRY.

----

BLUE FAIRY: The Great Tribulation described in Biblical imagery refers to the civilization-challenge created by modern profit pyramids creating an endless 'dark sea' of undercurrent soul deformity, a real glowing deformity created by actual socialized damnation (e.g., democracy-darkening)!

----

Amlan walked further on and encountered what seemed to be a pure and friendly WHITE FAIRY.

----

WHITE FAIRY: Everyone believes capitalism creates vanities of indulgence; rather, your civilization Tribulation is one of mass-socialized darkness, created by the reality behind manmade or spirit-less spikes of relentless and mindless slander (e.g., tabloids, theft, terrorism).

----

Further on, Amlan ('Storm-Shadow') encountered what seemed to be a shadowy and strange fairy called BLACK FAIRY.

----

BLACK FAIRY: To see through the Tribulation of your civilization, you must confront the real reality of manmade or constructed forms of modern treasure dissatisfaction!

----

It was the unusual message-omen of this strange 'Black Fairy' that really sent Amlan ('Storm-Shadow') fleeing back into civilization and out of the dense Pine Barrens forest and to a city Cathedral where he prayed to Jesus about the real Tribulation of the Inferno/Purgatory, of man's yearning for power and the consequences of misplaced power through wrath or envy or greed or even pride. Amlan decided that the Black Fairy's message that dissatisfaction with treasures of civilization would indeed create the form of Tribulation that could send mankind into a bottomless pit of dark depression.

Amlan Satan ('Storm-Shadow') suddenly felt much more grateful and thankful about his patriotic work with democracy-defense and anti-terrorism financing missions with blood-diamond traffic subversion in North America stemming from troubled Europe. He'd decided that he didn't want to become 'dissatisfied' with the glowing treasures of man's civilization and to feel 'refreshed' about the quality of capitalism-dance.

AMLAN: What I don't want for my mind/soul now is to take-for-granted the great capitalism-treasures the define the ego!

Is this a story or fable of 'fairy-intelligence' or Biblical 'preparedness' for tribulation-management required by the complications of manmade civilization (or both!)? Amlan's quest in the Pine Barrens forest was one of civilization illumination, one sending him to the dark recesses of purgatory but from which he seemed to emerge as a deeper thinker of modernism dangers.
