SCROLL VII: THE THRONE THAT BURNED

  “Heaven was not His dwelling—it was His revelation.”

  There was no wind.

  No sound.

  No choir.

  Only the throne—

  descending.

  It did not fall.

  It did not float.

  It arrived.

  Not from above.

  But from within the flame.

  Heaven did not build it.

  Heaven did not birth it.

  The throne was not granted space—

  space bent to accommodate it.

  It burned.

  Not with destruction.

  But with definition.

  Emerald flame,

  fused with lightning,

  wrapped in crystal veins.

  Its base was glass—

  but it bore the pressure of judgment.

  The throne made no claim.

  It simply existed.

  And in its existence,

  everything knew what it was not.

  This was no seat.

  It was a verdict.

  It did not invite.

  It did not speak.

  It did not even wait.

  It radiated a kind of sovereignty too heavy for dialogue.

  Around it, space folded like robes around fire.

  Time slowed—not by command,

  but out of reverence.

  The breath that once hovered

  now circled the base like wind caught in worship.

  The altar, distant but aligned,

  pulled its silence closer.

  And the flame—

  the original flame—

  bowed inward.

  This was the first law:

  Presence must sit.

  Heaven’s structure began to thread around the throne—

  not like construction,

  but like obedience wearing skin.

  Geometry sang.

  Lines curved where glory pressed.

  Foundations formed

  because the throne refused to drift.

  It did not pulse like a heartbeat.

  It pulsed like a sentence being carried out.

  The Council of Flame had not yet gathered.

  But the light around the throne

  already knew which voices would speak beside it.

  And which would one day fall away from it.

  For now,

  there was only fire.

  And fire does not debate.

  The throne was not merely a seat—

  it was a verdict.
