This breaks all my rules. It has only one character, and that is a canon one. I have never written fanfiction without original characters. And it supports the dark side.
But I had to feel sorry for the Lone Power sometimes. It didn't intend to be evil when It created entropy.
Since this turned out so short, I chose to make it 250 words exactly. It was actually 246 when I first typed it, so that wasn't hard.
Please review.
Not My Fault
All of you blame me. You think I started it. You think everything bad that has ever happened is my fault.
Why?
You blame me because you can. Because I am the one, alone, the Lone Power. You can blame me because the other Powers outnumber me. If the Lone Defender wasn't backed by the others, what would you think of It? You hate me only because I am separate.
Don't you know how difficult it is to be the one separate from all the others? The one that they can band together against? Haven't you been in that position?
Yes. And you blamed me. You thought I put that hatred of you in their hearts.
Well, I didn't start it. I was the original outcast.
I was like you.
They started it.
I merely created something different, something they decided not to approve of. And they decided it was wrong. They turned against it. They created conflict.
They invented war.
Not me.
You blame me for all your pain. You blame me for your short lives. But I did not force you to accept my gift.
I merely offered it. You chose to take it.
You chose.
Do you deny it? Was it pushed onto you?
No.
I held it out.
You reached out to take it.
Do you understand that yet?
The choice was yours. The fault is yours.
Do not blame me.
I merely create ideas. Others choose how to use them.
It is not my fault.
