Butterflies in my head: visual by Buka
Prophecy of the Desert.
It all began in the dead white sands at the very edge of the inhabited world. An ancient artifact—a stone sphere inscribed with long-forgotten runes—had slept here for millennia. But when the time came, the sands trembled. An emerald neon glow pierced through the ancient stone, and the sphere cracked open, revealing Her. She emerged with no memory of her past, but with a clear realization of her destiny. Alongside her, the first neon butterflies escaped into the world—the heralds of oncoming change.
Initiation at the Gates
Her path lay through the abandoned temples of the ancestors. Shrouded in emerald silk, she stepped beneath the vaults of the Gates of Time. The ancient monolith recognized its mistress: runes flared up on the stone blocks, and the air grew electric. Here, at the threshold of the unknown, she swore an oath to accept her power, no matter how destructive it might be.
Subduing the Artifact
Magic demanded control. In the twilight of the ruined sanctuary, She faced her first trial—the great Jade Ring, the nexus of the ancient mages’ will. With a single motion of her hand, defying the resistance of space, she subjugated the artifact. A swarm of butterflies swirled in time with her thoughts, turning chaos into pure energy. In that moment she realized: the butterflies in her head were her army.
The Point of Enlightenment
Before claiming the throne, one must conquer their inner demons. She descended into the deepest cavern to merge with the element in absolute silence. Closing her eyes and sinking into a deep trance, she let go of control. Torrents of neon butterflies rushed outward, building a mental bridge between the past and the future. The sacred signs on the walls froze, capturing the peak of her spiritual transformation.
Birth of the Vortex
The trance is complete, there is no turning back. The energy accumulating inside exploded into a colossal, viral vortex. The walls of reality blurred, and thousands of glowing wings formed a powerful hurricane around her. The wind whipped her hair, and her emerald dress became an extension of the raging magic. She opened her eyes. Now she had become the element itself.
Claiming the Throne
The first step on the path to absolute power. She took her place upon a throne of interwoven ancient roots, inlaid with raw jade. The runic circle on the floor locked shut, recognizing her legitimacy. But this was merely the throne of a regent—wooden and earthly. The real empire awaited her ahead.
The Great Empress
The climax of the saga. The final enthronement of the New Empress. Dark silk gave way to a luxurious robe embroidered with golden dragons. Glowing signs of supreme power appeared on her face, and giant guardians froze behind her back. The runes no longer dissolve in the air—they are conquered and serve as the framework for her new empire. The butterflies in her head have seized this world.
