The Spiral

/ Author Simon Phillips

A symbol older than the gods. A force that remembers what prophecy has forgotten.

In the world of The Veil of Kings and Gods, the Spiral is not a belief. It is not a language, a temple, or a rite. It is a force, unfolding, recursive, and alive in ways mortals and divines no longer understand.

Some call it fate. Others call it a pattern. The truth lies somewhere between what is remembered and what was erased.

The Spiral does not move forward. It returns.

🌀 What Is the Spiral?

The Spiral is how fate is written, and rewritten. Unlike the straight line of mortal will or the perfect circle of divine prophecy, the Spiral folds, shifts, and remembers. It carries every path ever walked, and every path never taken, within itself.

It is the symbol of recursion, of forgotten futures, and of change that cannot be undone. Where prophecy fails, the Spiral turns.

🔮 The Spiral and the Gods

There was a time when the gods could read the Spiral. Their visions were clear, and their voices powerful. Kingdoms rose and fell by their predictions.

But something changed.

The gods grew silent, and the Spiral grew wild. Its turns no longer matched their visions. Prophets saw overlapping truths. Some disappeared. Others fractured.

Now, only a few truly understand the Spiral. Fewer still can act beyond it.

✨ Simion and the Imbalance

Simion does not follow the Spiral. He changes it.

His presence in the world marks a thread the Spiral had not drawn before. A break in the pattern. He is not chosen by gods, nor bound by prophecy. He is the imbalance, a point where the Spiral no longer knows what comes next.

In silence, new paths unfold.

🧭 The Spiral Ages

Long before kingdoms, long before temples, there were stories.

The Chronicles of the Spiral Ages are short tales drawn from early cultures who felt the Spiral’s pull without understanding its shape. They called it a god, a storm, a curse. They carved it into sand and stone. They saw it in birth, death, and silence.

Their stories still echo.

🧠 What the Spiral Represents

In this world, and in mine as a writer, the Spiral is not just a symbol. It is a question.

  • What if prophecy could fail?
  • What if fate could be rewritten?
  • What if silence held more power than a divine voice?

The Spiral appears in visions, on ruins, in sealed tombs, and in the margins of ancient texts. It does not answer. It waits.

🔚 Closing Note

The Spiral is not a faith. It is not a prophecy. It is what comes after.

And it has already begun to turn.
