Aqabal represents the night, the obscure, the unknown, the fears we have and the magic in the world.
It is the kingdom of darkness, the place where appear our deep fears. The real understanding of the world allows oneself to overcome his fears and bring the light of the truth.

Aqabal is the root of the world, it is the one which gives the opportunity to pounce from the bottom to the surface. The light could not exist without the darkness.

The one who knows has no fear.

Aqabal is the magic of the night, of the strange creatures dancing under the moon.
