Ocean waves crash onto a shoreline, churning thick white sea foam that fills the frame with motion and texture. The image emphasizes flow, turbulence, and cyclical movement, contrasting softness and force beneath the overlaid title text for Waypoint 4.3 — The Wombstone.

“Through this goddess flow motherhood, milk, generations, and time.”

🎧 Waypoint 4.3 — The Wombstone

A meditation on myth, power, and the recurring human fantasy of stopping time.

A dark painting depicts a wild-eyed, bearded man crouched against a black background, holding a small nude child upside down. The man bites into the child’s body, with red blood visible around his mouth and hands. The figures are rendered in rough, expressive brushstrokes, emphasizing violence, fear, and brutality. The scene illustrates the myth of Cronus devouring his child.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” — Orwell

Cronus believed the prophecy—and tried to escape it by force.

Waypoint 4.3 — The Wombstone
A story of flow made stone.

The Bargain of Ice and the Sun King A proud king of the Sunflower Kingdom, rooted in a colder land, rejects a deceptive offer from a self-proclaimed Sun King who seeks to manipulate through a false bargain with the old Ice King. This tale highlights the importance of sovereignty and the awareness of the people regarding true intentions behind power plays.

A new bardic tale from the Dreamspace firelight: The Sun King and the Bargain of Ice. In a land gilded in lies, truth walks cloaked in verse. Read it if you know, know it if you feel it. #bardicprose #DreamspaceDispatch #allegory #politicalmyth #satire #TheSunKing
