It was all a deception. A trap.
A ploy,
Maybe maybe there is no hope
We're all being watched. all along
The Reaper was there
Does he stand for
Death? The Grim Chest stands for the fallen
but the living
And death. This is a trial
trial
trial
A test, a notion of our lives between conscience and un-conscience
are they all gone?
Kaina. Seuche All those who have died
were saved
I muse on the ideas granted to me. Intangible words connected by the flow of reason and understanding; philosophical insight and factual evidence. I stare at the grass beneath my feet, idle and unmoving without the stimulus of the breeze, somehow thriving in this strange atmosphere.
Our corporeal existence, a defiance of time and space. No natural law explains our presence, yet we exist. What is our enemy, if not that which knows all? The Reaper - the omen of the hereafter, the harbinger of nothingness
our thoughts are real
Or perhaps only but a guise
a fragment of our imagination
Yet I am bound by time and the limitations of the body. I look back to see my compatriots, surviving as if they were still rendered biological - food and water, the necessities of life. I can feel my essence trickle away with each step I take. I see a red crystal, a teller of future incidents. Does it know of what is our future, or a preset that we could change?
I shake my head to clear my mind, an act which only deepens my memoir. I avert my gaze from the void around me and focus on those I cannot see. The Shogun. The honored. The monsters. Who are we in this land, and who are those that exist here? Only a few I have known, and yet I feel as if I had lived a lifetime with them.
I am only one of the millions of heroes who have traversed this plane. Only a single piece of a puzzle that lies incomplete.
Yet I am different.
I have met those who believe
I have seen the fire in their eyes
I have power I have strength
I am dead and yet still alive
I am Aidan Faolán
I am the scribe
I am not bound by this world
I am not controlled by any other I am not a pawn to be toyed with
I am me
I will persevere
I will survive
