Hello there Yam!
Thank you for reading
. I really do appreciate it!! And thank you for the kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
And you are dead on! Anointed one is definitely a Biblical allegory. In fact, a lot of my early posts, as you noticed, are somewhat biblically inspired in some way, shape or form.
Sometimes I really cringe to see my old, immature works. But they are some slight gems of sophistication such as Monologue and In Vinos Vertias. And I'm super glad you've been catching all these allusions I've been embedding in my stories! Definitely with the Macbeth and biblical references!
And please by all means, you can put this on your thread! I am flattered and humbled that you would do so
. Please direct me to some of your threads, so I could possibly return back the favor! Although I'm not really active anymore here... but hopefully I can make an exception!
If you're still interested in some of my works, you should definitely check out "Odyssey: A Quest for Fiction," which is kinda of a highbrow satirical play, and "quick brown fox jumps over," which is a stream of consciousness somewhat modeled on the Catcher in the Rye. Anyways, I really do appreciate you taking some of your time in reading! It means alot! And please, let me try to return the favor by stopping by some of your threads!

Hey there Yam!
I will definitely try to read some of ya works soon
, hopefully! And yeah, quick brown fox is abit of a depression read definitely. Um but if you the read final post I have, I really change up the style of the narrative. It's alot more figurative and poetic, as opposed to grimy and hard haha.
As for Annointed One, you are not insulting me in slightest! Are you kidding me? I'm actually kinda really stoked and surprised that you're getting all these things right!
1. I'm not exactly sure what the alchemist was when I first wrote if I remember correctly. I just kinda like the image and word of it. Kinda lends something mythic to the narrative. And I basically want it for the image of "Light." Kind of left it to creative licence and ambiguity. But I mean you could possibly interpret it to be God the Father. And that's probably how I rationalized myself to think of it know that I think about it because he is watching what is unfolding. Oh btw, um three rings and a light are like the referencing the actual high alchemy spell in game before they changed it. So yeah, if that makes more sense?? It's kinda ify b/c there also were 3 lights, but oh well haha.
2. I mean definitely plausible interpretation. I mean literally anything related to three in something remotely biblical should be taken as something trinitarian related haha. What I had in mind though was that these three rings would be three days the King would have to spend in death before he is resurrected on the third day with the "Light." This doesn't really make chronological sense. But you can interpret it as prophecy foretelling what will happen or the omniscient Alchemist seeing into the future.
3. It's kinda just an epic phrase haha. But it's just referencing how everything has built up the fulfillment of this prophecy. It's just been this culmination to this moment of time when the King would fufill his "Destiny!" and prophecy.
