"Probably one of the darkest desires of the human heart is to kill without any type of fear. It is neither Heaven nor Hell, nor God or the Devil-the truest form of Evil lies within the human heart which for all it's wondrous purposes, its free will and creative bits and pieces of misconception of their own actions-an ability to think outside the box and believe that whatever they do is right is truly frightening. Human beings are the Evil in which to fear and their dark desires lurking deep within them is the source of reputable pain. For you see, who is it that causes death? We are the harbingers of evil we are the demons we ourselves so fear. We are-all of us-KIRA."
This quote was said by a friend of mine named Anna Marie when asked her opinion on Death Note quite a few years back. Though perhaps it lacked the passion that she truly felt and it was said in a truly humorous tone it seemed like words she truly believed. Was she right in her assumption? Was the Death Note and it's KIRA a metaphor for the vulgarity in us all? If given the chance, would let's say, you or I do as KIRA did? He truly believed he saved the world but was corrupted by power, does that mean we would fall into this as well? I can neither condone the killings that he committed nor do I truly abolish his actions and call him a mad man and leave the blame to, simply, that. He wanted to save the world and in doing so dirtied himself. But…was he truly wrong in his actions?
To comprehend what I have done to the characters in this story you must understand, that though they are taken from their element and given the puzzle pieces to solving this riddle, it in no way reflects what I myself believe. This story is about the corruption of the human heart and soul and how easy it is to change ones personality after attaining a certain amount of power.
I find it fairly easy to become mad with power. We are all easily swayed by power and the lust that comes with it for more. It isn't hard to believe that the hero of the story becomes the villain or the anti-hero whose methods are dirty but comes with the same results. We are all disgusting vile things, we humans though only when given the opportunity to be vile. Don't think badly of me for this either for you see, you are reading it to satiate that curiosity that so drives you for more. This story will be updated only with reviews because I find it highly illogical to continue if no one out there is reading it.
If you have questions then ask me in your reviews and perhaps, if you would like, a scenario in which you so desire to read. All chapters may be inconsistent and some not-that it truly up to you, as the readers, to see this through to the end.
Sincerely yours
