🇬🇧🏮 Meridiana: The Shadow of Sacrifice 🥀🕊️

— Do you know of the existence of "De Nugis Curialium" by Walter Map? What he attempted to describe was beyond the understanding of his limited vision. He saw only a sinful pact, failing to notice the grand drama of self-sacrifice behind it. 📜🌑 I will tell you about a demoness who, by her actions, called into question the monolith of "Good" and "Evil." But we shall begin with Gerbert — a young man whose heart was shattered by a girl's betrayal. The pain was so unbearable that he ventured into the forest thickets to do something unforgivable to himself. There, he met her🌲👣 Meridiana did not stop him by force. She offered a deal: — "I will give you power and sweet revenge over those who laughed at you. The price will be your soul" ⚖️🖤 Gerbert looked at her with weary despair and replied: — "Why do I need power that multiplies pain? If my soul is doomed, I value it more dearly. Give me knowledge, so that people in this world do not suffer as I do now" 🧠✨ This stunned the demoness. For decades, as Gerbert rose to the throne of Pope Sylvester II, she remained his invisible shadow. She saw how he used her every gift not for luxury, but for healing and enlightenment. Gradually, Meridiana fell in love — not with his body, but with his purity. Her kisses ceased to be a way to drain life, becoming a gift of inspiration💋🕯️ When death caught up with him in Rome, Hell demanded what was promised. But Meridiana did the unthinkable: she descended into the abyss along with him. With her wings, she created an invisible shield around his soul, through which no flame shall pass. 🛡️🔥 For a thousand years, she has kept him from torment in a sanctuary of her own making. She waits for the Day of Judgment, hoping that the Universe will have mercy on the one who, even in the darkness, sought only light for others 🌌⚖️ P.S.
