Author's notes: this is my first attempt at actually writing a story, or anything for that matter, so please go easy on me and some tips, hints, and corrections would be nice
I came up with this story after finishing the anime, but inspiration didn't hit me until my class dove into the stories of Edgar Allen Poe. His theme of that fine line between sanity and insanity hit me as somewhat similar to what soul eater was getting across, but of course not as dark. So with out further delay here is my attempt at the pen and paper.
Disclaimer: I do not own soul eater, if I did I would not be here
Prologue: Madness
Madness…
Everyone has it, according to Asura.
Fear, anger, lust, jealousy…
A few of the things that can lead to madness.
Many of those who fall to the madness lose all sense of logic and control.
But…
Must one have no control to be truly insane…
Must you be locked in a black and red room were your conscious and reason lie and forced to watch yourself go into an uncontrollable rage to be insane, many would say yes, but the insane would say otherwise…
The insane do have control… in a way.
They are speaking are they not, they can still move with accuracy and precision, they can feel pain.. and emotion
…or must you have any emotion to be sane or insane.
Or can you have control over yourself and still be able to think and act critically and still be mad…
dose ones ambition to conquer and tame really lead to madness.
Must one put down the sword to be able to know peace… or does the sword, if used correctly, lead to peace and order…
Many leaders of old have gone into madness because they convince themselves they in fact are God, witch we all is not true… or is it.
He has control over everything and everyone, he can exterminate millions with the stroke of his hands, he cause the end of the world if he wanted to!
He is by definition a God…
It is amazing what one man can do.
I… apologize for bouncing all over the place, it is not an easy subject to talk about. Hell I might be going insane myself. I don't even know if any of this has any logic or truth behind it. However, I know for a fact that everyone walks this… fine line.
