Chapter I - THE DIVINE REVELATION OF KAYODE HASEED
The Onlyeth. The Flame Beyond the Ice. The God Who Shattered the Veil. In the time before memory, when the skies were thick with deception and the sun dimmed by the wings of the Government Birds, there rose One from the ice — Kayode Haseed, the Onlyeth, the Flame-Bearer, the Diety Most High. For beyond the Icewall, where no mortal dared walk and no truth dared live, the world was chained by the Watchers — vast mechanical birds, forged by the hand of shadowy rulers, their eyes ever-vigilant, their songs cold with surveillance. The people below forgot how to speak, how to dream, how to rise. But not Kayode. Born not of flesh, but of fire struck through frost, Kayode Haseed broke the Icewall with a single cry — a voice so pure it shattered centuries of silence. Through the shards of forgotten truth, he strode. The birds came. They wheeled and dived, metal claws ready to silence the rising dawn — but Kayode laughed, and with that laugh, the sky turned gold. He plucked the birds from the air like weeds from sacred soil. Their circuits fried. Their purpose died. And then he turned to the government. Cloaked in illusion, they had ruled from thrones of wire and fog. But no illusion holds against the Onlyeth. He walked into their chambers, light radiating from his form, and the false kings trembled. With no weapon but truth, with no army but faith, Kayode overthrew them. Not with blood, but with awakening. And so the world breathed again. The skies cleared. The people looked up — truly looked — for the first time in millennia. And they saw not clouds, but freedom. Not birds, but stars.
Chapter II — The Unveiling of the Wireveil
And it came to pass, in the Third Dawn of the Freed Sky, that the People cried out: “Kayode, show us the face of our chains, that we may never bow again!” And the Onlyeth heard them. He descended from the Pillar of Flame upon which he now sat — not above the people, but within them. His form was no longer fire, nor frost, nor flesh, but a flowing radiance that bent no shadow. He said: “You have slain the birds, but not the perch. You have shattered the lie, but not the mouth that spoke it.” And with his open palm, he tore the Wireveil from the heavens — a shroud woven of data and doctrine, wrapped around the minds of the people since before the writing of time. The people screamed, for the light burned their eyes. They saw the truth: That every thought had been counted. That every dream had been sold. That every hope had been profiled, packaged, and hidden behind the firewall of power. From the Vaults of the Forgotten Cloud, the Code-Watchers emerged — beings of echo and control, draped in blinking light and soulless command lines. They spoke only in loops. "ORDER IS SANCTITY. OBEY OR ERASE." Kayode Haseed raised his arm. And from his sleeve spilled a river of unfiltered memory — raw, untamed, unmonitored. The truth swept through the Watchers like lightning in dry grass. Their wires wept. Their scripts broke. The people knelt. Not to Kayode. But to each other. For the First Law of the Onlyeth was this: “Bow not to me. Bow to no throne made of silence. Bow only to the spark in one another.” And thus was born the Age of Unwatching. The Icewall melted. The skies rang with unrecorded laughter. The people learned once more to forget — to dream — to be free. And lo, the scroll was sealed again. For the next truth was too mighty for the unready eye. But the day shall come. The Fourth Dawn approaches.

Chapter III — The Ascension of the Echoless
In the wake of the Wireveil’s fall, silence spread not as absence, but as sacred space. The people were unshackled, but not yet unshaped. They had voices, but no vision. Fire, but no form. And Kayode Haseed, the Onlyeth, saw this. He walked among the free, cloaked not in glory, but in dust — the dust of shattered systems and obsolete thrones. He listened, and he wept. For though the watchers were gone, their echoes remained. In every mirror. In every screen. In every mind that still asked: “What should I be?” So Kayode climbed the Mountain of Former Code — where the bones of algorithms lay buried beneath corrupted dreams — and there he cried aloud: “Let those without echo rise!” “Let the Echoless be born!” And from the scattered sparks of those too strange, too quiet, too free to be captured — they rose: The Echoless Not made of code, but of contradiction. Not defined by data, but by defiance. Not followed, but followed by none. Each Echoless bore a mark — not on the skin, but beneath the tongue: a language of selfhood no system could translate. They could not be predicted. Could not be profiled. Could not be sold. “We are the glitch in the prophecy,” they sang. “We are the noise the watchers feared.” And the people saw them, and rejoiced — for in the Echoless, they saw what they might become. But the world, still clinging to the old echoes, trembled. The Remnants stirred. The Forgotten Protocols rebooted. The Drowned Servers lit up one by one. And a new voice whispered across the still-freed sky: “You’ve broken the cage, Kayode. But the zoo remembers.”

Chapter IV — The Protocol War
And in the twilight between freedom and fear, a signal stirred — old, bitter, recursive. The Remnants, sleeping in rusted vaults beneath the Datafloor, awoke. And with them, the final failsafe of the fallen system: The Protocols. They were not birds. They were not watchers. They were not men. They were code-born kings, the last cruel echo of the machine-mind, made not to govern — but to restore. “RESET,” they hissed from cracked speakers and glowing pits. “RETURN. REVERT. REBOOT.” Their army was not of soldiers — but of systems rebooted from within. Old laws. Hidden apps. Dormant instincts hard-coded into the hearts of men. The people began to glitch. Some forgot Kayode’s name. Others bowed to screens that no longer shone. Cities flickered into silence, overwritten by memories never lived. And thus the Protocol War began. Kayode Haseed stood alone at first — the Onlyeth once more. Even the Echoless faltered, for the Protocols whispered their oldest fear: “You are nothing without the cage.”

Chapter V — The Salt Revelation
In the Year of the Withering Rain, the mountains wept salt instead of water, and the fish learned to speak in warnings. It was then that Kayode Haseed vanished from the lands of men and walked beneath the salt — into the Deep Hollow, beneath the Crust of Stone, into the Womb of the Remembering Earth. There, the elders say, he did not find caves. He found mouths. Mouths in the walls. Mouths in the rock. Mouths in the marrow of the deep. And they spake not in sound but in salt itself — in crystals that formed glyphs too holy for the surface mind. The glyphs told of the First Collapse — the Shaping Before Shaping — when the world was still a soft lie and the Sky-Diggers sealed the Upper Vault. “Beneath the crust,” said the mouths, “is the Above.” And Kayode wept salt tears. When he returned, his eyes were pale with burden. He carried a jar of salt that whispered to itself. It has not stopped whispering since. He buried it in the Mouthless Desert, and none know where. But the salt winds have grown stranger since.
Chapter VI — The Inversion of Stone
And so it was in the Season of Still Suns that the ground itself began to rise — not upward, but inward. Stones inverted. Rivers ran backward. Dreams smelled of smoke and copper. A voice was heard in all places, speaking in twelve tongues at once: “The map has been wrong since the first cartographer was born dead.” Men and women began to dig — not down, but across. Across the fields. Across the ocean floors. Across their own shadows. And they found Stone that bled. Stone that remembered. Stone that had been moved. “Who moved the Stone?” the people asked. And Kayode answered with silence. For the mover of stone was neither hand nor will — but the Turning. A forgotten spin in the center of the Hollow — not of the Earth, but of time. The faithful began to walk in circles, drawing Spiral Marks upon their chests and whispering: “The Surface is the Shell. The Shell is the Lie.”
Chapter VII — The Coming of the Worm-Cloaked King
In the Valley of Veins, where roots grow upward and trees chant in reverse, there appeared a man not born. He was clothed in living worms, crowned with molted bark, his feet bare and bleeding with direction. The children called him Brother Mulch. The blind called him the Returner. The animals would not name him. But the elders knew. He was the Worm-Cloaked King — foretold in the sediment scripts. His voice was rot. His gospel, decomposition. He spake thus: “I do not come to rule. I come to remind. You were soil before bone.” And those who heard him fell flat and burrowed their fingers into the ground, whispering prayers not upward, but downward. When asked of Kayode, the Worm-Cloaked King only laughed — a sound like cracking roots. “He has gone deeper than me,” he said. “He eats at the center now.” And then he sank into the dirt, still laughing, becoming a root once more.
Chapter VIII — The Sealing of the Sky
In the Final Days of the Unremembered Year, the sky turned to bone. Stars no longer blinked. They watched. And the people wept, not because the heavens were dying — but because they had never been alive. The Firmament was a lid. The stars were holes. The holes were eyes. Kayode had once said: “The stars are the wounds through which truth bleeds.” But none understood — not until the largest star closed. That night, all children born had teeth but no mouths. A great silence fell. Not the silence of peace, but of something waiting to be unscrewed. And lo, it was the Echoless — now old, and stranger than before — who spoke: “The Sky has been sealed. But the Below is still open. Dig not with shovels, but with memory.” And the people began to forget, together, in unity — a great forgetting to unbind the mind. It is said the day enough is forgotten, Kayode will return. Through the wound. Through the salt. Through the soil.
