THE POWERS OF DARKNESS: CHAPTER 7 - CHILDREN OF LIGHT, CHILDREN OF SHADOW: Trey Knowles's Allegory Chronicles.

In the wake of humanity's fall, the Anunnaki descend in false glory—shaping tribes, twisting truth, and ushering in an age where darkness teaches, conquers, and deceives. Yet a faint remnant of light endures, setting the first sparks of a war that will shape all of history.

The first six chapters unfold with the deliberate, weighty cadence of prophecy, carried by Knowles's rich and atmospheric imagery—storms reflecting inner turmoil, deserts symbolizing spiritual barrenness, and mountains standing as monuments of perseverance. The pacing remains measured but deeply rewarding, allowing tension to build through revelation rather than action alone. This consistent tone lays the foundation for the sweeping historical chapters that follow, grounding the reader in a metaphysical conflict that shapes the entire series. As the genesis of the saga, Chapters 1–6 establish the spiritual framework of Light versus Shadow, define the moral and symbolic landscape of the world, reveal the inner conflicts that drive the characters' outward struggles, and introduce prophetic threads that later chapters begin to fulfill.
