There once was a Duel of existence between The Lucifer Morningstar, Ruler of the Hell and The Dream. The dual was held on accounts of The Oldest Game.
[The Oldest Game isn’t a fight, it is most certainly aggressive, but, at its heart, it is a test of skill and imagination. The competing individuals can represent them as anything turn wise, the opponent has to counter by representing them as something that can predate its opponent’s representation. The competitor who fails to counter, gets defeated.]
Morningstar claimed I am Dire Wolf, enthralled with Power of Darkness, bow down before me and admit your defeat.
To that The Dream replied – Say no more to The Hunter with zeal to Hunt and thirst of Wolf blood, who surely enjoys this Feat.
Lucifer Morningstar was quick to respond The Hunter will now have to beg for merci as I am now The Venomous Toothed Serpent, with the agility of extreme order and the deadliest fangs.
Dream called himself The Predator Bird with claws so strong on which a mammoth can hang.
Angry but wise Lucifer replied, I am Anthrax - The Butcher Bacterium, warm life eater, sheer definition of dead, the epitome of cold.
As if Life was sucked out from the being of The Dream but somehow, he retorted: I am Space-Floating, Life-nurturing, a World which is cheerful and bold.
Agitated Lucifer at the peak of its voice – I am a NOVA, furious, fast, the absolute Prima Facie of destruction. I eat a World for appetizer. I am the All-Exploding, Planet-Cremating.
Dream said I am Everything there is, A Universe. Life is what I am embracing, and Life is what I hold.
Lucifer in its Mocking Laughter, You Fool, I counter you on Life. I am The Anti-Life. You say you are everything, I am the dark at the end of everything. The beast of Judgement. The color that is nothing but Black.
What are you Dream? Lucifer almost growled. The Dream then answered – That which can never be destroyed, that which cannot be killed. That which fills life with purpose. I am Hope. The one thing, oh mighty Lucifer, you and your hell Lack.
Lucifer had nothing to counter. With all the humiliation it admitted its defeat.

What is a Human? What is Humanity? What sets us distinctively apart from any other being that exists?
A humans get inspired by its dream. It is a dream that keeps a Human alive. With Hope and Dreams, Humanity yields in aspects like caring, selflessness, creativity, the power of imagination. The essential ingredients of life as a whole and its nature to progress. But if you rob humanity of its dream, if you steal away the hope from humanity, it falls on its knees.
