Lysander & Nocturne

6/8/24
In a dimension where reality is blurred, there existed a tree unlike any other—the Tree of Knowledge. Its leaves shimmered with an otherworldly light, and its roots delved deep into the earth, touching the very essence of existence. On this tree coiled a serpent, not just any serpent but one of luminescent scales that flickered between emerald and obsidian with each breath it took.
This serpent, ancient beyond measure, was named Ophiel, the "Serpent of Light." Ophiel was bound to the tree, its body wrapped around the trunk in a mesmerizing spiral. To those brave or foolish enough to approach, Ophiel would whisper secrets, not just of the past or present, but of the myriad possibilities of the future.
One day, under the canopy of the Tree, there appeared a wanderer named Elara, seeking wisdom and power. Ophiel, sensing her thirst for knowledge, decided to gift her with a bracelet, forged from the purest copper, adorned with two snakes. These snakes, intertwined in eternal dance, represented duality: one, Lysander, with scales of gold, symbolizing goodness and divine wisdom; the other, Nocturne, with scales of onyx, embodying the darker, more forbidden knowledge.
The Powers of the Bracelet
Divine Insight by Lysander.
Whenever Elara wore the bracelet with her intent focused on Lysander, she gained the ability to see the truth in all things. Lies melted away, revealing the core of any matter. This power allowed her to resolve conflicts, understand the deepest motivations of others, and foresee consequences of actions with startling clarity.
Prophetic Visions by Nocturne.
Choosing Nocturne, Elara could peer into the tapestry of time itself. She saw threads of futures, not just one but many, where choices branched into countless possibilities. This power was both a gift and a curse, for while she could see outcomes, the weight of knowing potential doom or unforeseen joy was immense.
Healing Touch by Lysander.
With Lysander's influence, Elara could channel the energy of life, healing wounds, diseases, and even mending broken spirits. Her touch was a balm, bringing solace and restoration where there was once pain.
Corruption by Nocturne.
Conversely, Nocturne granted her the power to corrupt, to decay. She could weaken structures, both physical and metaphysical, causing them to crumble or alter to her will. This power was used cautiously, for it could lead to chaos.
Immortality's Echoes.
The bracelet itself, with its snake-formed circles, imbued Elara with a longevity that whispered of immortality. She aged slower, her vitality undiminished, giving her time to explore the depths of the knowledge she gained.
Elara learned quickly that with great power comes great responsibility. She had to choose when to use Lysander's light or delve into Nocturne's shadow. Each decision she made with the bracelet's aid had repercussions, shaping not just her fate but the world around her.
Ophiel watched, his eyes ancient and wise, as Elara navigated her path. "Remember," he would whisper, "knowledge is power, but wisdom is knowing when not to use it." Thus, Elara's journey became not just one of power but of moral exploration, where the balance between good and evil, knowledge and ignorance, was hers to maintain or disrupt.
This is a very old piece made of pure copper. To use it wear it and speak to the one you need.
