Of prologue and portent, epic with a different bent.
...
“I will ask a lot of you - I will ask politely at first, and then... ever so gradually - I will make demands of you… and you may not believe me now, but you will eagerly want this. Not because you have given into my will, but because you are ever-so-curious to know what will happen next.” - Luerlix Uelixy Evisuerate, Seventeenth book, powdered poison

"Priapus writes through my fingers now, so read these words like the sacred cow - they are, as channeled from afar. Their intent - in preface, prologue and portent.
We are multiplying humanity dominant, we spoilt slaves to the screens. We are the hadron colliders of sub-atomic match-heads, for we are the end of all means.
We conquerors of evolution, we genetic arsonists of now. We are the torchers of our own treehouse, we slaughters of this sacred cow.
Stoking the blast-furnace of the mortal engine with self-replicating tools, we are no longer the greased mechanics of the machine, we are the future of fuels." - the warning call, The Priapus creation story
...
Now imagine we can transcend this, surrendering to the vanquished Mother Firma at the very moment of our triumph; Receding into passivity and humbling ourselves to be content with what is left. Enlightened, with decadence as our prize. Ultra-orgiastic-utopia - I say to you now that humanity will writhe in decadence and bathe in an ocean of orgasms. It will be a time known as the Age of Excess. It will be the time of our ultimate boon. I ask you to imagine a revelation that is beyond the comprehension of most of competitive, gluttonous humankind; That we can overcome all hatred and selfishness, that we can live for lust and love driven by eternal potency, in absolute health. Immortal - I say to you now that humanity's ultimate boon will be the spoil of immortality borne or sprung from this revelation; We, and all other things we spirit to the place to which we recede will live forever, in absolute health. In a place where nothing dies, forever blooms, and forever bears fruit; In a place like Erotitanic Eden, the flowering City of Sex.
This is a story of humanity’s kin, living in that megalithic blossom. The children of you and I and ours in the last flowering fruit of Yggdra, the Treehouse of Life when she was so old that her roots burrowed out the other side of the world and her highest branches reached into the cold void of space.
Yggdra was the measure of Mother Firma’s circadian rhythm, a metaphorical mythopoeia of our children’s creation to explain their existence on their mother's skin. For in their distant eyes, the Treehouse of Life was quite literal - from heartwood to bark, from inhaled dioxide breath to sap’s sticky genome. Can you picture the youngest budding branch of all of us, with no grasp of the biological sciences at its’ knotted core? This is a story of that last green shoot, before the trunk’s weighted girth split the world in two.
This is the story of the last bloom to open on our dying Treehouse - An architectural monstrosity of a flower also known as Erotita, the Lotus of Lust - Its’ stamen its’ towers, its’ pollen our kin. For Erotita bloomed as our Yggdra died - the Treehouse of Life’s last livid shudder, the creaking end to all things. This was the DNA death rattle of our mortally wounded world, an event here after referred to as The Cognizant Fatality. It is time to tell you of the youngest of them all, who feigned to read about such cryptic times, blissfully ignorant behind Erotita’s protective petal walls of thick glass. This is the story of the Eva and Adem borne or sprung from Erotitanic Eden, and their temptation in that last city - where nothing is sin.
