Guardian

I used to want to save existence... I saw it as this beautiful place, capable of fostering life in all of its many forms. A place with the potential to nurture so much Light. But the closer I got to it... the more I fought for it… the better I could see the Darkness waiting within… the evil we would all rather forget. (Part 4 of the Hero series; sequel to "Eternal Shadow Falls".)

Hello, MelGamingPlays! Well, not too short. Just the right length for what it needed to say, actually. :) Anyway, I will, thank you. XD

"Prologue Part 3: Transcending"

"They have begun a new message. They often repeat their old phrases, but now and then they say something new, something that catches the attention and forces the mind to ponder.

Now they say, 'You made them strong. Follow my trail and you will lead them into Eternity. You love them, and love is war. Love is of Death as Death is Love. Love is Life, and Death is Life. Life is Love and Death. If truly you feel these things, then follow me.

I am the breaker of wills, yet I have not broken you. Your existence, as all are destined to be, is and always will be war, too. I will give you nothing to aid you… Nothing but my Truths and this mark that all deserve to bear.

What is at war is healthy. What is at peace is forever ill. As you learn more Secrets, your power grows, and as your power grows you learn more secrets. One such Secret is that the only meaningful relationship there can be is the attempt to destroy. The only true right is existence while the only true wrong is nonexistence.

You wonder often what will become of you when you truly die. It suits you to consider such matters. You may not yet see it, but in all you have done in your life you have become a great ally of Death. Continue on your current path, slaughtering all who believe and act opposite of you, and you may yet become synonymous with Death itself.

You yourself have died many times, but these deaths were only temporary. Your echoes, the echoes of your past Deaths, haunt you, and rightfully so. For each Death is a failure, and failure deserves only punishment and more Death. These are my rules, and yet you turn your head to me. You listen, fascinated, to each word I deign to speak. When you call upon my power, should you ever choose to, you gamble with your own soul. It is why you hesitate and never reach back to me, why you still remain as weak as you were.

Your mind alone is an unfathomable weapon. When you think, worlds break. The slightest inflection of will may shatter realities by the dozen. Secrets, though none mine, peel apart for you like the skins on a fruit. But you are a rare thing, for there have always been too few of your kind. Your kind lost their way immediately after the departure of the Faein. You were weakened, lost, wielding powers you knew so little about. Yet, in doing all that you have done, you have surpassed all that came between you and those first four. But you can be so much more than this.

Walk with me.

Transcend.'"

426 words this time. A bit longer this time but still short, yes. However, this is definitely still very important. Hope y'all enjoyed. Posted (at about 10:00 a.m.) 10-26-18.
