Chapter 14  
     
1.
 Is power the reason for the Cualann’s destruction?  
2.
 Why has history conspired against them?  
3.
 What great curse have they wrought to be doomed to be forgotten so?  
4.
 Once, the greatest of all sages?  
5.
 Once, the greatest of all teachers.  
6.
 Pythagorus, Julius Caesar himself all students of the holly,  
7.
 honored by the Cuileain, the Holly family.
  
8.
 What force caused them to not just to be forgotten,  
9.
 but written out of history?  
10.
 Power is brutal and mutable.  
11.
 Power is consumption, conquer and claim.  
12.
 Thus the English  
13.
 Shallow, brutal and predictable to Ireland.  
14.
 They killed, they enslaved.  
15.
 They took the stories of Ireland and made them their own.  
16.
 But there evil is restricted to that of a brute, immoral and uncultured.  
17.
 Even their shrill to this day,  
18.
 in denouncing Irish heritage is louder than wedding bells to their feet of clay.  
19.
 It is another force, deeper, more thorough and manifestly evil at work  
20.
 that can only account for the complete destruction of Ireland and the Cuileain.  
21.
 The separation of the head and the body of Ireland.  
22.
 Its motives are founded much deeper than mere land,  
23.
 but in consuming the souls of all who follow.  
24.
 It is the Cuileain who carry the blood.  
25.
 The wisdom is and always has been in the blood.  
26.
 An arrogance that is of its own nature doomed.  
27.
 The blood of the Kings of Ebla.  
28.
 The blood of the Pharaohs, the Hyksos and House of Amenhotep and Akhenaten.  
29.
 The blood of the House of Judah and the Lion of Judah.  
30.
 And it is to this blood and the blood of its descendents  
31.
 of the House of Joseph that sealed the fate of the Cuileain.  
32.
 For no empire built on lies can permit a living truth to defy its evil.  
33.
 No matter how sacred, no matter how holy,  
34.
 their destruction was ordained from the moment Paul of Tarsus founded Christianity.  
35.
 And there to it is motive and means.  
36.
 Relentless their destruction.  
37.
 But with one flaw.  
38.
 Irish progeny and ignorance.  
39.
 The head was cut, but the heart kept beat.  
40.
 For every Irishman slaughtered, sons and daughters were born.  
41.
 For every village enslaved, two villages raised families.  
42.
 And so title and language too consigned to history.  
43.
 That in future raids it mattered not whether druid,  
44.
 or bloodlines existed or not.  
45.
 They had been routed.  
46.
 did not Patrick tell of the end of the Serpents?  
47.
 A dear friend of Ireland.  
48.
 A patron of the Cuileain.  
49.
 Without whom these words would not have come.  
50.
 Papal prison did not break him, nor his resolve.  
51.
 History returned him a hero to his adopted homeland.  
52.
 And the Cuileain to history  
53.
 For what is blood today?  
54.
 Are we not all the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve?  
55.
 Are we not all brothers and sisters?
  
56.
 Birthright and bloodright is the cult of old.  
57.
 That has no right to stand  
58.
 What then of this tale?  
59.
 When a King or Queen stand in rainment before you proclaiming their heritage,  
60.
 When a prince or lord claims heritage to some ancient land or name,  
61.
 Remember this,  
62.
 they were not worthy to clean the boots of the Cuilleain,  
63.
 They have not one drop of blood between them greater than the birthright of the oldest and most sacred family  
64.
 And such is the covenant of its awakening  
65.
 that no blood can use its right to claim heritage again.  
66.
 Only by actions, only by election,  
67.
 Only by duty, only by inspiration shall a person be marked as a leader and worthy.  
68.
 No curse. Even though, we have suffered the most grievous of curses.  
69.
 This new age is marked by new wisdom and an end to curses.  
70.
 Even to those who persist in pretending to be noble.  
71.
 their days are numbered.  
72.
 So it is written, so it shall be.
