Transmuting the Din
or, comprehension on the fringes
Nigh, clarity dwells.
Subverting this age's ethos,
I rest silently

Prologue - The Scourge
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. There should never have been dragons in the Sacred Valley. Those cursed dragons swayed in the calm night wind, swooping and twirling as the sun disappeared beyond the mountains and the twin moons rose over Lurra. May Auras doom you in the afterlife! May you find no salvation there. Their quiet monastery had long been protected from the dragons and horses, swords and spears which descended upon them, destroying his tranquil home with their war.

This feels almost on the fringes of my understanding, not because it's too dense, but also, maybe. Lol. Nah, I'm kidding, I understand it, but I'm craving a sequel or follow-up, to address "this age's ethos." I suppose that's the point, to think about it and come to one's own conclusions. "Din" informs it enough, I think. Too much information = noise = din; the ethos of "I'm right" "these facts are the real facts" "consume this joke, this news, this controversy, and never stop!" The last line brings this into more clarity, the subversion of resisting all that noise and just being quiet and still, in body AND mind. At least, that's what I understand it to mean. (Sorry for the ramble...)
This is great. Well done.
