01 Jan Constructs: Intro to Towers – Thresholds

It is now clear to me that I am free. No longer tied by the bounds of the exile, and no longer held at bay by some darkened sleep. At one point in time, I sought to re-obtain all that I had lost, instead of building a new. Foolish as I was, even these actions had lead me onto a more better path than I had imagined. Though now, the bliss has begun to end as I am well aware of the darker forces that have begun to lurk within these shadows along with me. It is inevitable that soon, the time will come where I must fight once again, and this will be a war I cannot lose.

I know before my end takes, I must reach some beacons of new that will bring about even darker nights to the darker days that lie ahead. But I am no longer afraid. For I saw thee future too at one point, as it all took place on some cold and empty platforms lost in lonely stations in a strange place, entangled in a timeline I am no longer familiar with. Things that I only know from echoes, things that grow on me.

So here is where we stand. Smack down in the middle of some center constructions, waiting for the path ahead to become clear. And in the distance, I see all that I had once knew, all that has haunted me, all that remains of what once was, all that must be left and destroyed in fires that I know will begin all too soon. And so, the darkened sleeps that have left me weakened must be made up for. For once this is done, a new threshold will be reached, a threshold much greater than the first Rising, one that will take these constructs and build all that I was intended to be.
