What ales me to speak and act out of promises of a forgotten timeline, I may never know. The sun that beckons here, once providing warmth and unconditional healing has shifted into a more sinister being. For each beam that it casts down reveals a new shadow that looms closely behind me, revealing what makes me, me. To act with quick impulse would be to throw away the time I have remaining here; for now all that had once kept this place intact, the division, is beginning to close in on itself. For clashing's at some unimaginable force are now upon me and all else to dwell here, as now decisions must be made. I now seek havens and crossroads where these divisions meet, for only there will I be able to see myself for who I truly am. The violent trembles that have taken place here have forced cracks within the blackened ground, with echoes bursting from out of the seams. For I know they seek to swallow me whole, so I must now seek refuge. In a place that seeks to devour every being to wanders across it, I know every step I take now is crucial. Every moment I shall be judged, every hour I shall be tested, and everyday considered as I move closer and closer to what feels to be an exit. I am who I am. A divided aspect within a divided place. I have failed many, and I have succeeded even less - but still I carry on. What must take place now seems to be Destiny, a calling that may lead to something darker or lighter. I know not what every hour has to offer, but my acceptance now has shown me the path to take. VIII ~ ACCEPTATIO
Deep within the heart of my mind, I know it has all begun to change. Yet still, the pondering's that lead me to some mysterious chambers still come and go as they please, as time gracefully sifts by which each crucial hour. Like now, it will all happen again; the hours will countdown only to lead to a rest that will lead to some irreversible catastrophe, a downward shift, a fall greater than that of the collapse which took place eras ago. For the reward that awaits in this risk is much greater than anything any man and woman could ever dream - but the Fates that quietly creep behind the risk are of the most sinister. For they said in losing thyself shall you find the path to a greater self; but am I to wonder if they spoke lies as well? The decisions made at the end of this will be nothing short of irreversible they will spin and echo forever - ever lasting, such as the erasing of the old line. The ripples in which these decisions will start shall quickly turn into waves, and it will all happen again. For because of them I started on this path, and because of you I stayed on it - but now split that will occur here will be all due to me. VII ~ CONTEMPLATIO
Bedsides and dreams used to be our home, for distant promises tangled in wires were not enough to deliver the bliss we so strongly desired and rightfully deserved. Little did I know that an era of darkness, or perhaps now known to some as an age of Fates were upon us; and with it, all that was treasured was assured to be swept away and swallowed. I shall leave it to my ignorance for not trusting my heart, for I saw the future. During then, the future was dark but it held a glimmer, a sparkle, a shimmering that even now I cannot make out. During the era of the new Dawn much was revealed, and much was formed - including this place. A place stuck between the fight of light and dark, death and life, and all other powers that greater Lords hold. For I have seen what awaits me beyond these walls and the trails that must be face - they are of the most treacherous I will have ever taken on. They seek only to destroy, only to claim, only to reverberate for all of eternity. VI ~ AGNITIO
The stillness of the energy that resides here now is of some frightening state. To fill so little, but to know so much can trap one into limbo for all of Eternity. The walls that are closing in now are of the essence of time, though outside of this place they do not matter, they are nothing but a minuscule crack on such an infinite surface. As the echoes begin to flood in, and as the air becomes harder to breathe I can sense I am returning to how I once was. For the masks that had once been forced upon us are now beginning to erode, for we must be presentable may we stand in the presence of death. Wars here seek to claim us as their own, and leave us as nothing more but a meaningless reverberation. And though I have begun to fight back, I grow weary as I know this place too will begin to spin. V ~ Silentium
It all remains true. The darkness I have come to know has awaken once again, moving violently against the will of those who seek to keep me confined in cages. It is of this very crucial moment in time, where the shadows that seek to infiltrate the light that remains are now stirred by the battles between those who seek life and death. And I know that in this place of dualities and centers, more than I've ever known; that what I must face has waited patiently for my arrival for eons - and so now the hourglass begins measure what time remains. IV ~ DESMOTIS
In these crucial times of fleeting energy and fleeting faith, the paths that I have now chosen to take are of such importance that it could be said the forces of life and death reside in each and every one. The echoes that have begun to grow here have begun to wage their war, piercing my skin like blades, thirsting for my blood as they feed off of pain. For it seems that the day's of colder wanders have begun to reverberate here, and it is now that I know that what I was told during those days of missing and broken lines - was in fact true. For all that had happened then, will happen again as part of these fates that seek to settle in. And it is with this now known that I seek to reach the salvation that had never been revealed to me, that is still unknown to me, yet promised to exist. III ~ Finis Foedus
