Nione's Secret Files 7: Origin of the Cyphers

The origins of Cyphers is a very complicated thing, some say they were born like that. Others will say Gilgamesh, the legendary demigod of his own epic created this form of superhuman lifeform in hopes of combating against the gods that would threaten Uruk back in the old days. It was a partial truth, but also half of a lie.

Gilgamesh was the inspiration of Cyphers, for he was two thirds god and a third human and thus saw things from a throne different from rulers of the future eras. The gods in this particular singularity of the past were quite curious of humanity's potential, even after the days of their golden age had ended and devised a plan to see it.

These gods would find a human with the highest compatability to them and offer them a deal: serve as a vessel to them and let them experience the woes and awes of human life and in return wield incredible powers that none could never wield before. It worked out fine at first, but then corruption from absolute power began seeping into the human's hearts as they waged wars and become tyrants. One particular battle had accidentaly revealed the existence of multiple worlds out there, the Multiverse itself and they became Warlords and travel to said worlds and subjugate them to their wills.

Back then, they were known as Sifr, the precursor word for Cypher today and they were horrible. Wielding powers and manipulating the world to their whim, mankind was doomed to inevitable destruction and the Multiverse would collapse.

Then, one Sifr awoke to justice and lead fellow-minded warriors against this tyranny. Arthur Pendragon, legendary King of Camelot and Lord of the Round Table had become Sifr to the ancient god Shamash. He rallied the Sifir incarnations of his Knights of the Round as they charged into a great battle to defend our doomed existence and won.

This act of courage and justice humbled many and filled the other Warlords that had not fallen with shame at what they have become. The gods decided to rewrite their pact as the result of the severe damage to the Multiverse as a whole would spell out their doom as well. The new pact was a vow to protect the mankind within the Multiverse from any threat that would threaten to end it. Thus Cyphers were born and with it an age of heroes rising with every new generation.

Such a happy ending...I hated it, and I will show them that even villians can be born from a Cypher. And my creation that is now a Cypher will show them that evil finds its way even in the most noble of places and people.

Remember this dear reader, good and evil-right and wrong are the same thing. To do good is to commit evil, and committing evil is to do good. A living paradox of human morale and it is beautiful and humans forget they are primates themselves uplifted by higher beings we call gods. While my actions of creating new life is considered 'evil', I consider them 'good' as they help us in ways we do not expect.

I'd hate to bring this up but in World War II, our infamous Nazi friends had scientists do numerous inhumane experiments on their victim in the name of medical science. Their 'evil' actions brought forth 'good' in the results of their experiments even if said dastards were executed for their actions.

You know the old saying "The road to Hell is through good intentions."? That is what happened to those men at the time.

Surprisingly,evil intents can accidentally lead one to Heaven-a cruel irony I couldn't believe it myself. This maybe why people would at times depending on their favorite shows root for the villian in question. I know people were rooting for the Empire of Star Wars fame back in the days.

Makes you wonder which is the good guy or the bad guy?

Remember this dear reader, the line between good and evil is so very thin...Do you know which side you're on?
