THE PATH OMEGA

“You are not as you were meant to be.”

Where the Covenant speaks of endings, the Path Omega speaks of becoming.

It is a faith born not from silence, but from revelation made flesh—the return of a figure many believe to be the reborn Zephon, now known as Draconen. To his followers, he is not merely a leader, nor even a prophet, but proof that existence is not fixed. That mortality is a stage, not a destination—and that the boundaries defining it were never absolute to begin with.

They do not worship a distant god.

They follow a living transformation.
One that does not merely change the body—but erodes the rules that once defined it.

THE GRASSROOTS FAITH

The Path Omega does not spread through conquest or decree. It spreads through conversion.

Across the galaxy, within every faction, its influence grows quietly:

• In the Empire of Sol, it takes root among those who believe the Emperor has returned in a higher form.

• Within the Citadel, it manifests as a new philosophy of unity through evolution.

• Among the Bloodpact, it is seen as the ultimate escape from all systems of control.

• Even within the Eldritch Cult, whispers spread that Draconen is the true guide to Dwethia.

• Among the Blacksun Traders, it promises new forms, new strength, new worlds to conquer.

• The Champions of the Void have found the Messiah that will lead the Exodus into Silence, granting the Dark the quiet they crave.

It moves through informal circles—lodges, warbands, whispered gatherings—led by preachers, chaplains, and converts who speak not of doctrine, but of potential.

There is no single church.
Only a growing certainty:

That something greater is possible—and already walking among them.

THE ALPHA AND OMEGA

Unlike the fractured teachings of the Elders, the Path Omega does possess a central text:

The Alpha and Omega

This sacred book tells the story of Draconen’s journey—his life as Zephon, his passage into Dwethia, and his return as something transformed. Written in dense, symbolic prose, it is a work of layered meanings, contradictions, and parables.

Within its pages, Draconen is described as:

• A devourer of worlds

• A challenger of Celestial Giants

• A being who has stepped beyond the limits of reality itself

Whether these accounts are truth, metaphor, or fabrication is never addressed.

To question the text is not forbidden.
But it is… discouraged.

For the purpose of the Alpha and Omega is not clarity.

It is conversion.

THE RITE OF OMEGA

To truly walk the Path Omega is to undergo Ascension.

At the center of this transformation lies a ritual both sacred and feared:

The drinking of the blood of Drake Omega.

This is no symbolic act. It is a biological ordeal—an ingestion of something not meant for mortal bodies. Those who partake are subjected to violent, uncontrollable change.

Most do not survive.

Their bodies reject the transformation, collapsing under the strain. Within the faith, this is not seen as failure, but as revelation:

They were not chosen.
They were not ready.
They lacked belief.

Those who endure are forever changed.

Not all of that change can be observed. Not all of it remains consistent. Witnesses often report conflicting accounts of the same transformation—differences in size, shape, even sequence—none of which can be reconciled after the fact.

THE CHOSEN

Among the Draconics, there exist those considered truly blessed.

These individuals possess the ability to undergo a second transformation—not mystical, but biological. Their bodies rupture and expand, cartilage cracking, sinew tearing and reforming, as they shift into full draconic forms.

Wings unfold in violent bursts. Scales push through skin. Mass redistributes, never appearing from nowhere—only revealing what was always contained within.

And yet, observers often swear that for a moment—just a moment—something did.

It is a grotesque and awe-inspiring process.

The survivors of the Rite are known as The Chosen.

They retain the form of their original species—but altered, elevated, incomplete in a way that suggests something still unfolding:

• Skin thickens into scaled patterns

• Horns emerge from bone

• Wings form, folded tightly against a body now grown larger to contain them

• Tails and other draconic features develop, not as magic—but as flesh reshaped

The transformation is not clean.
It is not painless.

FRACTURES IN REALITY

In their earliest stages, the Chosen remain bound by instinct and belief. They fight as soldiers, think as mortals, and die as anything else might.

But there are moments—rare, unpredictable—where something slips.

A blow that should have landed does not.
A wound that should be fatal is not.
A presence that should occupy space… does not fully agree to it.

These moments never last.

But they are remembered.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH

To its followers, the Path Omega is a promise:

Of transcendence
Of purpose
Of escape from a dying universe

But in truth, it is something else.

A system of recruitment.
A process of transformation.
An army in the making.

Draconen does not rule from a throne. He does not command from a single world. He moves constantly, never remaining long enough to be bound to one faction, one ideology, or one interpretation of his will.

This is by design.

For what they struggle to become, he has already resolved. Where they fight against the limits of their own perception, he no longer recognizes those limits as real.

The Path Omega is not meant to unify the galaxy under one banner.

It is meant to harvest it—refining countless failures into the conditions required for something that does not fail.

THE NATURE OF THE PATH

To walk the Path Omega is to believe a simple truth:

You are unfinished.

And that somewhere beyond the limits of your current form—beyond flesh, beyond fear, beyond the dying boundaries of this universe—something greater is waiting to emerge.

For those who survive long enough, a question eventually follows:

If this is what I am becoming… why does it still feel like I am holding something back?

Whether that emergence leads to salvation…

Or to something far worse…

Is a question few who walk the path ever dare to ask.
