Shade’s Realm

Following the events of ‘Origins’ I became deeply intrigued by the ‘Master’, who I knew then was my Commander. At that time I devoted my life to learning His doctrine, and getting to know Him. Not long afterward, I was a approached by a man named Isaac. Isaac possessed a prophetic gift of knowledge. The Commander told him of my previous experience with the rift, and Isaac let me know. Afterward, Isaac informed me that the Commander has secret method of combat that he could teach me. I couldn’t resist the opportunity.

When training with Isaac I learned about the 3 realms and how to navigate through them. The longer I was exposed to the 2nd and 3rd realms, the keener my spiritual vision became, and the more comfortable I became with operating as a spiritual entity. Prior to teaching me any combat techniques, Isaac began teaching me how to recognize and be lead by the Commander’s Spirit. He advised this was the foundation of combat in the 3rd realm, as the Commander’s Spirit governs all there.

Now you would think this would be easy, but it took me weeks of meditation before I was familiar enough with the Commander’s Spirit to recognize His operations. Once I was able to do this, I had to learn to to be lead by His Spirit. Again, this was not an easy task, as I was so accustomed to doing my own thing. Eventually I was able to let go; it felt as if my spirit was floating in a vast sea, moving wherever the current took me. Once I surrendered myself to the Commander’s leading, He showed me that He provided a great amount of freedom within His realm.

At this point, Isaac perceived I was ready to learn spiritual combat. Isaac taught me how to focus and channel energy, and the basics of unarmed combat. I immediately began to grasp the initial forms of spiritual combat. In particular, I excelled in unarmed combat. As I learned to channel each spiritual element, I began to formulate my own style of unarmed combat that was inspired by each element. For example, as a flame is intense and destructive by nature, my unarmed fire style is very offensive and unrelenting.

The longer I was in the presence of the Spirit of the Commander, the more I got to know Him. I began to take on His characteristics. I began to feel what He felt, know what He knew.  As I meditated on His Words, my spirit matured and grew stronger. The longer I stayed within 3rd realm, the more it enveloped my presence in the 1st realm. Eventually the 3rd realm began to enter the realm of time and lead my life in the 1st realm.

Being in the presence of the Commander was my training. He taught me spiritual combat through Isaac. I trained in the ways of the spirit frequently and fervently, determined to never be as helpless as I was the first time I encountered a rift…
