Chapter 8: Baptism - Summary

The baptism ceremony reveals Zenithian conversion's true nature. As Lucien channels blinding white light into Mira, she experiences violent intrusion—not salvation but annihilation designed to erase personality and rewrite consciousness. However, something ancient in her blood creates an impenetrable barrier that completely repels Zenith's power. For the first time ever, Lucien's ritual fails. He maintains the facade of success to preserve his authority, but both now know the truth: Mira is immune to the supernatural mind control that has successfully converted everyone else, and something inhuman lurks behind Lucien's divine persona.

Something Ancient Rises  
Track 05

Barefoot on the marble cold  
A thousand eyes, a thousand souls  
Watching, waiting, wanting more  
As I walk toward the altar door  
Mmm-ah-oh... ah-oh...

White gown hanging like a shroud  
Incense choking, lilies bowed  
Every step echoes my fear  
The golden light is drawing near  
Oh-way-ah... way-ah...

Kat is praying for my soul  
While I'm about to lose control  
The marble drains my body's heat  
As I lay down in my defeat  
Hey-oh-hey... oh-hey...

His hand upon my head like fire  
The vow I speak is born of liars  
"I give my body, mind, and soul"  
But something stirs beyond control...

He's reaching in, he's reaching deep  
Into the places where I sleep  
Burning light tries to erase  
Everything about my face

But something ancient starts to rise  
Something he can't recognize  
From blood and bone, from shadow's keep  
A power that was always asleep  
Always asleep...

Lifted up into the air  
The congregation stops to stare  
They think it's grace, they think it's gold  
But I can feel him lose his hold  
Ah-yah-oh... yah-oh...

His fingers twitch against my skin  
He cannot make his light get in  
Behind his smile I see the crack  
The shadow watching, watching back  
Way-oh-way... oh-way...

Not my will, not my choice  
Something deeper finds its voice  
Ancient blood beneath my skin  
Won't let Zenith's light come in

He pushes harder, I push back  
Not with light but something black  
Not evil, no—just something free  
Something wild protecting me  
Protecting me!

He's pulling back, he's letting go  
There's something here he doesn't know  
The Light recoils from what I am  
His perfect ritual is a sham

And in his eyes I see the truth  
Behind the light, behind the proof  
A shadow wearing holy clothes  
And now he knows... he knows I know  
He knows I know...

"Rejoice!" he cries to hide his fear  
"Another Chosen standing here!"  
They cheer and clap and sing their praise  
While darkness swims behind his gaze

I stand before them, playing my part  
With something ancient in my heart  
Untouched by light, unmarked, unknown  
A wild thing wearing Chosen clothes  
Wearing Chosen clothes...

Something Ancient Rises

“Now or Never” is that moment when everything inside you says go for it. It’s about standing on the edge of something real — love, life, connection — and choosing to jump instead of holding back. It’s the heartbeat right before the drop, that rush when your soul feels alive and unstoppable.

This song is my reminder that life doesn’t wait. When it’s real, you feel it deep — in your chest, your pulse, your every breath. The lights, the music, the emotion — it all comes together like fate telling you this is your time. No fears, no second thoughts — just pure feeling, pure truth.

It’s about surrendering to the moment, to love, to the energy that can change everything. Because sometimes, you only get one chance… and it’s kinda now or never.

Now or Never
