"For anything that makes a sudden impression astonishes nature." -- Francis Barrett, The Magus - A Complete System of Occult Philosophy

"To cast a Spell is to summon the most desirable.
Take ’Paint It, Black’ casted by The Rolling Stones as an example of an Optimal Spell;
The 4 Ancient Witches desired Peace in a time of War. An impasse. A practical Impossibility.
They used ’Red’ to reinforce the Same Blood Condition.
They used ’Black’ to absorb Racism, Capital Supremacy, and to ridicule Prime Color.
The significance of the ’Door’ is to unlock the ’Heart’. The intention of painting it is to undermine the authority of pragmatism.
Their brush strokes were fearlessly dominating, and highly saturated with conviction.
They condemned a Seagull forever ’Green’, and to pay for such an act of wickedness, they sacrificed their most treasured ’Blues’.
For every Spell requires a price, and the Optimal, demands the most.
To achieve such an Optimal Spell is to succeed in summoning the most possible - Under the pathological restrictions of Policy, Coin, and Color. Magic made practical." -- On the Dark Arts of Communion Before the Split, by Prof. Donovan Do-Raidan Silver

Worshiping a God who only existed to some but never existed to others is an idea as ancient and as meaningless as time.
……
The start of peace talks between The Island of Naturalists and The Island of Alienists
Date: 04/22/2017 A.S (After the split)
Location: Sector 1 – UN Grand University – UN Ring Station
…
The 4 female deities of the Naturalists disembarked out of the space shuttle. They were all dressed in black.
Queen Hestia (Fire Tribe) and the Supreme Witch was leading the negotiations. Queen Aqua from the Poseidon Tribe (The Shape-Shifters) was her second in command, followed by Queen Athena representing the Tribe of Wind Makers, and Queen Rose from the Demeter Tribe, representing the Earth Witches.
In the vast garden of the UN Grand University, as many as 100 thousand students stood in perpetual silence. Logically divided between the 4 Natural Witches were many races, sexes and colors.
Some stared and wondered if they are true or false. some were fast with judgment for they smelled fire. some were shedding silent tears, and as many as %3 of the students who were standing closest to the arrivals, were listening to the wind.
And they noticed when the Holy Mother of Ice & Fire signaled to the Queen of Wind & Storm.
Queen Athena neutralized the red carpet that was stretched to the university’s main building door, and turned it (-).. Then; she created a thin wind layer of negative energy beneath the 4 of them, they floated 7 inches above the red carpet, and straight ahead, they charged.
The crowds of students went "WOW" and hailed, cheered, and clapped.
In the vast Greek like parliament room, and in the center, Dr. Zeus Oberon the president of the Island of Alienists was seated in between his 4 councilors.
The 4 Witches were directed by the UN student to sit in the 4 chairs opposing them.
And before they had the chance to do that, President Zeus stood up and shouted;
"How dare you.. Have you no shame.. Have you no remorse.. Why couldn’t you just forgive and forget?"
The crowds in the circular rows around them hummed.
Queen Hestia stretched her right arm and opened her left palm, a laser like beam of fire stretched from the tip of her right middle finger, and stopped 3 inches away from the President’s forehead.
Everyone froze.
"Don’t patronize ME about forgiveness.." Queen Hestia said "My daughter is a victim of your Biologically Engineered diseases.. Or should I say; your Technological Witch-Craft... And it did not leave her dead and blissfully remembered, NO, it left her physically deformed in one leg, and genetically deformed, preventing her from baring children.. Not to mention the psychological effect inflected, which I am sure a prominent Alienist like you is well aware of.."
Then she pointed the beam of fire down at his crouch and said;
"Would you like me to demonstrate to our beloved students here how that feels like.. Doctor?"
The crowds hummed louder.
The Supreme continued "And before you question my remorse for killing thousands of your ’Emotionally Retarded’ people, know this; Vengeance is a dish best served shamelessly."
There; Queen Rose snapped her fingers once.. The beam of fire turned into a line made out of the petals of a black rose, and fell to the floor.
Queen Hestia lowered her right arm and closed her left palm.
Everyone relaxed.
"Now sit you Holy Ass down.. and let’s talk!" Queen Aqua said
......
The UN Secretary General Dr. Abbas Bemaher, who was driving the talks said:
"Regarding the mush needed Natural Resources, provided by the Naturalists, i suggest that it should be absolutely unrestricted, for it is our lifeline. Not only for the Ring Station, but also for the Alienists as well."
"Agreed.." Brown haired Queen Rose said "Oxygen, food and water can be shipped through the 4 Space Elevators off the Island of the Alienists, or, if you wish, it can be sent up directly to you from our island through magic.."
Student 3865 from the circling crowds stood up and shouted "HOCUS POCUS. Wishful thinking and believing in magic won’t do us any good, when we are suffocating, thirsty, and starving."
3% of the crowds shouted "Hey, Hey, Hey..."
"SILENCE.." Dr. Bemaher shouted "Science IS Magic you fool.. Fuck democracy if it can be easily interrupted!"
80% of the crowds shouted "HEY, HEY, HEY..."
"I hope you are satisfied with this arrangement, President Oberon!?" Dr. Bemaher said
President Zeus Oberon’s Science Minister answered instead "What’s in it for the Alienists, when you render us obsolete?"
President Zeus nodded in agreement.
"Dark Fusion capabilities.." The Albiness Queen Athena said "Will that suffice?"
President Zeus Oberon nodded in agreement.
.....
"What is Dark Fusion?" Student 6044 whispered
"Cold Fusion through the subversion of Dark Matter.." Student 6045 whispered back "Insatiable energy!!!"
......
"Let us move to Emigration then.." Dr. Abbas said "Since there are no restrictions inflicted by the Naturalists to enter their Island, the Alienists are bound to open their borders to the citizens of the Naturalists."
"We are granting access for only 3 tribes, excluding the Silver Tribe.." The Alienist Minister of Defense said "We don’t want another Mass Suicide Epidemic in our island."
"NEY, NEY, NEY, DAMN MY NAME.." Professor Donovan Silver from the Teacher’s row shouted "Here is when peace starts to get misleading.. Minister, ’Death’ is the name of the road, not the ’Traveler’. Queen Hestia, do not submit in the face of segregation. President Zeus, surrender to the voice of reason, 2+1 does not equal 4."
60% of the crowds shouted "HEY, HEY HEY.."
Red haired Queen Hestia suppressed a smile when she recognized her ex husband’s voice, and thought ’Damn your name, still stroking my heart..’
Dr. Bemaher gripped his armchair a bit tighter, and said "Minister, would you like the united nation ring station to deny granting visas for your High Class citizens? and since you don’t have a Middle Class yet, i will be forced to issue the stacked visas to you Low Class citizens just to keep balance.. But wait.. They can’t even afford the Space Elevator.. Hummm.. 1+0 does not equal 2 either.."
90% of the crowds shouted "HEY, HEY, HEY.."
President Oberon nodded to his Defense Minister.
The UN Secretary General sighed in relief, and said "No visa restrictions between both citizens of both nations. Embassy and Counsel will be established in both islands according to the indexed plans. Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. The binding ceremony of this agreement will commence after a 20 minute recess."
......
All stood up erected with overwhelming anticipation.
25% of the crowds thought ’But if all the walls fall down tonight!’
25% of the crowds thought ’What if all the walls fall down tonight?’
50% of the crowds thought ’All the walls will fall down tonight.’
Some crossed their fingers. Some uttered a Zensunni prayer. Some stood calmly, some nervously. And many held comforting hands with the doubtful, the frightened, and the broken, Many - a non believer.
In the middle of the Democracy Hall, the 4 Natural Witches stood, each marking one point of a square meter.
Queen Hestia of the Fire Tribe, and the Supreme Witch, stood facing Queen Rose of the Earth Tribe.
Queen Aqua of the Silver Tribe, stood facing Queen Athena of the Ether Tribe.
Queen Rose took 2 small stones of Gold and Silver out of her black robe, held each stone in the open palm of each of her hands, and said:
"By Mother Earth. By the Face of my Father."
Queen Athena sent the 2 stones flying to end up suspended in the middle of the square between them, and said:
"By Spiritus Santos. By Darwin’s Daughter."
Queen Aqua pinched her thumb finger with a needle. After the small bubbles of blood flew out to join the stones in suspension, she said:
"By my Words. By my Blood. By my Water."
Queen Hestia added the small ball of fire to the mix, and said:
"By my Commanding Heart. By my Fire."
"WE FUSE" Queen Rose shouted
"WE IGNITE" Queen Hestia shouted
"WE THRIVE" Queen Aqua shouted
"WE DRIVE" Queen Athena shouted
The 4 elements between them fused to form a small black hole, which was relatively infinite in diameter.
The small black hole ignited with a warm bright light. It healed the past, and just as fact, it traveled to the future.
It left a thriving Golden Ring, outlined with Silver.
Driven, the ring twisted itself to form the symbol of infinite Timbre.
And for the first time.. Ever..
"HEY, HEY, HEY.."
Humanity shouted in union.
