Chapter Five
Make Your Choice
Mortal…I'm surprised to see you have returned. You have been gone for a very long time. Did the Overseers catch you?
…
In any case, you should be cautious of those…zealots. They don't know when to quit their futile "mission."
…
As quiet as ever, I see…Such a pity. I am rather curious to hear what you sound like. Are you nothing more than a young child? Or are you a mature adult?
…
Since you've been gone for such a long while, you have lost the privilege of hearing my next tale. Perhaps you would like to make amends and regain my interest? In fact, I have something special in store for you.
There are seven tales that I desire to tell you, and each one holds an answer to a question that you seem so desperate to have answered.
…
How will this assist you? That is for you to decide.
…
My reasons for assisting you are my own, mortal. Know that everything I do for you is a test. And know that everything I do to you has a purpose. Your decisions have consequences, whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not.
Mark my words well: I will know of each and every consequence created, and what each one holds in store for you.
…
Now, let us get to business.
These are the seven choices that lay before you. The order in which you select these tales matters not. They all will serve a purpose in the end.
The tale of Madness.
The tale of Power.
The tale of Love.
The tale of Obsession.
The tale of Coin.
The tale of Revenge.
The tale of Redemption.
…
What will you choose?
…
You cannot make a decision at this moment?
…
Very well. I will be kind to you, mortal. Just this once. I will give you three days to consider your answer.
Choose wisely.
