Written by - I Tripped Over Reality
Ah, hello there, my dear young reader. How are you this morning, evening, afternoon or night? There, there, don't be so indignant at being called young. You are very young. Even if you happen to be a hundred years old, which, I gather, is quite an old age for you mortals - you're children.
Life is amazing, isn't it? Always a challenge where you don't know what will be thrown your way. You expect something but get the opposite. You see, feel, observe, learn, explore and discover. You're doing it constantly. The moment you're brought into this world, you learn how to breathe.
But there's always a price for the littlest things. The doctor slapped your back so you would cry and gulp in air when you were first born. That's how you learned to breathe. The price here was the pain. You pay for everything you do, be it through money, through emotions, actions, whatever.
Have you ever wondered why you pay? You've always taken it for granted that every action has an opposite and equal reaction. But why does it have to be so? For balance? That's probably what you think. But why does it have to be balanced anyway? So what if the world tips on one end? What difference does it make? It'll be chaotic. Things are born out of Chaos; things die in Chaos.
Chaos was how the world began, and Chaos is how it will end.
But I can see that you don't really understand what I'm saying. I must remember that you are, after all, very young and immature. The understanding of subjects as deep as this are beyond your grasp and you cannot visualize the big picture. I apologize for confusing you.
Let us get back to what we were discussing. Yes, why do you think you always have to give something to get something? Why do you think it mostly involves your feelings?
It is because it amuses me, my child. I am the creator of the Universe. I created it for the sake of entertainment in the first place. I don't directly control your life, don't think that. But I did create the world and I made the laws that make it necessary for balance to exist. That way life is never completely right or completely wrong, always a medley of emotions, some of which you don't even know the names of. These emotions lead you to say and do things that provide entertainment to me all the time.
When I am bored by something, I end its existence. An example of that is of dinosaurs. Once their endless cravings and battles got annoying, I just destroyed them. I don't think I'll ever destroy the human race, though. You come up with new ideas faster than even I could and most of the time they're so ridiculous that they make me laugh again and again.
The cleverer ones might have already recognized who I am. Yes indeed, my dear, I am Chaos, the creator of the Universe.
Today, I stand on top of Half-Blood hill, invisible to everyone, just observing what's going on. Camp Half Blood has changed very much from the last time I was here. There are new children training in the battle arena, new ideas going through people's heads, everything is new and fresh.
And yet.
Yet, the old still remains. The ideas may be new, but the battles are fought over the same old things. The emotions are the same - love, lust, jealousy, anger, pride, joy and such. But you would never believe how imaginative you mortals can be. The situations you create, they're fascinating.
I know everything about you. Your dreams, thoughts, fears, aspirations... I know everything. I know all about everyone; I know all about everything.
The purpose of my visit is to watch for some of the most entertaining incidents that happen here. I know for a fact that Camp Half Blood is the most amusing place in the whole universe. Of course I would know. Your immaturity quite irks me at times; I want to show you the answers to the questions I'd asked earlier. I have observed that the best way to teach your kind something is to entertain you so it leaves a lasting impact.
I'm trying my hand at writing here. In the next few pages, you'll find glimpses of life at Camp Half Blood and see why I consider you so entertaining, why Chaos is the way of life, all this and more.
You shall enjoy, this I know.
