I ain't even gonna try to make an excuse lol. At this point, I've accepted that this is the kind of author I am: horribly inconsistent. I still have ZERO intention of forgetting any of my other stories, but that won't stop me from proceeding with my bad habit of starting a new story every month :D
Anywayz, prologue n stuff here. You can care or not care abt this one if you follow me lol. Next part to the prologue is called Giovanni Captures the Damned.

Thus the World will Turn to Ash
If we were to believe, even for a moment, that there was a so-called 'Chosen One'
We would be no better than simple-minded creatures.
There is no such thing as a 'Chosen One'.
It simply does not exist.
All of us are special in one way or another, but at the same time, none of us are.
Nothing deems one single creature as a 'saviour' or 'god'; as above all others.
Nothing deems one single creature as below the rest.
Nothing - beauty, power, followers - makes one single creature irreplaceable.
That doesn't mean all of us are equal, because in the eyes of the structure of the world, there is no such thing as 'equality'.
But it does put us closer to the ground
Where we belong.
But humans are difficult.
They prefer to have someone that they can push the responsibilities onto
Which is how they came up with the term 'Chosen One'.
They actively choose to make life more complicated than necessary by coming up with positions and titles of grandeur.
Even if they can see the answer, they always want someone else to be the one to say it first, to be the guide, out of fear that they might be incorrect.
And even when they say that there is someone who stands above them all, there are many that still wish for their own lives to be valued more highly.
Because one doesn't like the idea of controlling their own meaningless life, but still wants others to care for it.
Pitiful beings, really.
But that doesn't make them bad.
Many humans are kind, and lead good lives in respect to themselves, others, and their world.
Even if there are some with evil intentions, that is simply the way of nature.
You can never have good without evil.
I should know.
That balance exists for a reason.
Even so, there are some evils that tip that scale.
Evils that require something - or someone - to act as the saving grace.
That doesn't make them special, or important.
It makes them a being who acted.
And yet people are so quick to call it a divine force
So quick to call them a 'Chosen One'
So quick to think that that is what they should worship and believe in, what they should look to for guidance and protection, what they should guard and value so highly
Without even recognizing the human that is beneath that title
The human that did it all not according to what they thought they were supposed to do, but what they thought they wanted to do
What they thought was right.
I would think it an insult, really.
To call their own actions something not of their own free will.
But in the end, I suppose it doesn't particularly matter how you think.
For even if you really did have a savior; a saving grace, a divine force, or a higher being of any kind
It wouldn't matter.
For even if something, someone - some anything - isn't equal to others, the simple fact is that it doesn't make them more or less important
Doesn't make them the solution.
It only makes them capable of what they can do.
So when disaster strikes, and someone is in the lead
Even if they hold the title of a 'Chosen One', there is nothing to help them guide anyone to a light
And thus the world will turn to Ash.
