This is a story that came to me in a dream many years ago.

To forge the soundwork I brought to life really old music sketches from my trunk of treasures. The idea for Episode One was born jamming 7 years ago, while I was still a rookie with Ableton Live. The original piece was quite rustic so I feel really proud of what it became. To compose Episode Two, I resampled my track "Rescue" and built layers from there. This is a song from my first EP which inspired me both conceptually, with its idea of salvation; and musically, as it helped me reconnect with my electric guitar that was gathering dust in its case. My dear friend Daiana came by one day and recorded the vocals and that is how we created the voices of the Angels. Episode Three began with a synth loop I kept in my computer and listened to once in a while to feel hopeful, which is the emotion I wanted to evoke with the finale of "Sacred War".

I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did.

🐉 And I wish the Year of the Dragon brings you the transformation you desire

With much love,

Sofía

Billions of years ago, Ishnamût, the Great Dragon, gave birth to the Earth

And ever since then, it has secretly protected all natural life

As it watches how humans, thirsty for resources, ravage nature, Ishnamût loses its sanity

Blinded by rage, it envelops the Earth with its colossal body, blocking the light of the sun and plunging the world into darkness

Thus begins the Eternal Night, and a great war erupts all over the planet

Men fight each other for survival, while facing with utter terror the draconic minions of Ishnamût

Before long, the spread of the flames and the absence of sunlight cause the death of all green life forms on Earth

The desolate roar of the Great Dragon silently reverberate throughout the Cosmos

Meanwhile, far away in space someone awakens from their lethargy

At the dawn of time, Ishnamût, the Great Dragon, created Earth and all wildlife

And the Angels of Fire, with fragments of their ardent souls, forged the first humans

These igneous giants have dwelled in the heart of the sun for eons, watching over our survival and orchestrating our evolution

With the fall of the Eternal Night, the Angels awaken from their lethargy

And emerge from the red star to fight against Ishnamût and save us from extinction

And so the Sacred War begins, our creators battling Ishnamût and its dreadful drakes, bearing blazing swords and diamond armor

The war lasts many years, yet the Great Dragon is finally defeated and banished from the galaxy

Among the ruins of the bastions of men, remain the last survivors, holding on to life with oxygen masks and synthetic food

The Eternal Night is over, but with all nature gone, the Age of Men seems to have perished

However, in the abysmal darkness of the Cosmos, suddenly glow fiery glimmers of hope

After a long battle, Ishnamût was defeated by our creators, and the Sacred War came to an end

From the remains of each Angel that fell in battle emerges a golden seed, glowing with the light of the sun

Down on Earth, the last humans witness how a new constellation is drawn in the sky

As an offering from our creators, the seeds descend upon the ravaged lands

Sprouting at lightspeed in the form of forests, deserts, jungles, and ecosystems that have never been seen before

From the depths of the oceans, new islands emerge, housing phosphorescent flora and flying fauna translucent as crystal

In the gloom of the original caverns, magmatic gems materialize, and stone-skinned creatures crawl

Over vast plains of turquoise and magenta, immense two-legged beasts march, horned with wonderful coral reefs

The last remnants of our race begin the restoration of the cities

Life endures, biodiversity thrives, and humankind grow in total connection with the origins

A new era of peace and harmony begins on Earth
