The Madness of the Rainbow Butterfly comes to nothing but Insanity in the soul by Sakr
Merit December 2011
The rainbow butterfly, the chaotic butterfly that a Templar can affect their enemies with is a powerful weapon. Yet to completely understand it, to use it, first the warrior must understand the insanity that is within his body and soul. To come to terms with it.
In this piece, the Templar is in the background. White streaks his armor, his arm as he reaches out to grab the butterfly, to grasp and understand it. Yet against him are the words, the mathematics of the insanity binding him and his soul to understand. Two sets of texts represent the dual nature of the mind, the normal being and the insanity that governs it. Call it consciousness if you will, call it dreams, call it morals, each thing has it's bearing in understanding and driving the warrior to his will.
The inverted colors themselves represent the dual nature of the man, of the chaos, while the words which represent the literal being represent the mind versus the chaos. In the end, the question that remains for this Templar is whether the insanity he seeks to use as a weapon, does he use it or end up being used himself?
