In the kingdom Of Guile, the Archon Father ruled by placing himself above all others. The Great Mother no longer spoke. When she wept openly, she was forbidden from being seen, because her grief showed that all was not well under Guile’s rule.

The Son was brought up first with his mother. Seeing that her influence went counter to his father’s desires, Guile placed her in a dungeon and forbade her from seeing her son. The Great Mother was replaced with a wet nurse and governess who exacted strict punishment. This governess had the ability to appear gentle and kind, but under the surface she was ice cold. She was presented as a new mother to the Son, better than the one he had had before. When he cried for his mother, he was told she was too ashamed of him to see him.

From the governess-mother, the Son learned that obedience gained love. At his father’s side he was taught the way of Oppression, and how to wield power. As planned, the Son possessed innate power. When the Son spoke, it was so. As he learned the ways of his father, he grew to understand that they were wrong. He knew that his mother could not speak directly, but he also understood that her words were life. While he could not directly speak with her when his father and governess-mother were present, he found ways to contact her in secret. So the Son grew up.

At the end of his childhood, he was presented with a diploma of sorts. “My son,” said his father, “you have completed all the training we require of you. Now you are ready to rule.” With grave solemnity, his governess-mother handed him a diploma.

The Son took the diploma in his hands. He saw the sickly sweetness of her smile. He saw the noble pride on his father’s face. And in his soul, he felt the despair of his mother. It was time for him to enact his will.

“Since I am a man,” said the Son, “I wish to go and see All of Creation. There is much still to learn. My inheritance is mine. I will take it with me to sustain my travels. Do not be angry with me. This path will help me to be a better ruler.”

This displeased his father. “My education is not good enough for you?” Seeing the swelling of anger in his father, his governess’s eyes flashed cold, and her sweetness turned to dismay.

But the Son persisted. “You hold but one perspective on Creation. If I am to rule All, I must see through the eyes of each Creature. When I return, I will be a ruler worthy of the title. Farewell.”

“You shall not return to rule if you leave now,” his father replied, furious.

“There is no one else who can rule,” the Son countered. “There is no one else with the might I was born with. You have said so yourself since the beginning. Goodbye, Father. Goodbye, Mother.”

“I am no mother to you,” said his governess, disgust reigning on her features. For a moment, the combined hatred of his father and his governess threatened to overwhelm the Son’s resolve. Many times before, they had forced him into submission in this way.
