The next part of my journey is almost complete. I can feel myself getting closer to the point of convergence. I can hear it, see it, and certainly feel it. It is still a ways off, yet it is unmistakable.
There is a familiar sound in the air, something akin to flapping leather. I know this to be the sound of the wings of my brethren the Draconus. Sometimes there is the crack-like sound of a whip when one dives straight down, opening their wings in the last instance to pull themselves back up to the Heavens.
It is daytime, but the light does not reach the ground. The presence of the Draconus is so heavy they blot out the rays. Some absorbing and shedding it, others allowing the light to pass through their bodies. The light evolving and taking on the hues of their scales in a kaleidoscope of color. Some known to the human eye and some not, dancing in the sky, the ground and everything in-between.
If I wanted to, I could walk there with my eyes closed, so potent and intense is the Gathering of the energies and entities. It is a hurricane of energy, light, dragons and so much more.
I can see and feel the other entities as they whisk past me. Adding their energies, blessings and Being to the Gathering. In the distance, I see Avalon, the majestic black unicorn lord standing on a peak observing the proceedings.
The Blue Crystal Wolves of Zulani are here as well. Some yip and bark in greeting as they race past me. I can hear and feel the elements of the pack that are already there. Their howling sounding a frequency that resonates in their hide. Growing with each member that adds to it, harmonizing and emanating throughout the entire space. Many of the tones they make never before been heard by human ears.
Yet these are only a few of the many that have come. Griffons stand guard on the outskirts, a few massive bio-engines with unspeakable names have also come. Mountainous, lumbering quartz golems of all colors keep their distance so as to not disturb the dance of the dragons. Beings made entirely of lightning, golden light, sacred geometry and squid-like monstrosities that glide through the air as if it were water. So many have come and more continue to pour in. Some seen, some unseen, yet all make their presence known.
It is chaos and perfection all in one same space. The excitement in the air is palpable. There hasn’t been a Gathering of this size for many eons.
I walk toward it with a deep appreciation and gratitude for all and the deep love and fullness in my heart. The air and the energy buffeting me throwing my robes in disarray, but not impeding my progress.
I add my hum to the sounds around me, letting it build slowly. Steadily it builds to a deep vibration that cuts a clear swath through all the sounds and energies while at the same time building and supporting them to become stronger still.
Though some have already seen or felt me, suddenly they all know I’m close. They all roar, sing, howl with delight and joy. The cacophony of sounds, light, energy, and emotion is overwhelming.
With a smile on my face and tears in my eyes, I continue towards the Maelstrom.
They know… it’s almost time…
