MY WORLD IS GONE. MANKIND IS GONE. THE FIRE THAT ONCE FUELED ME IS GONE.
EVERYTHING THAT REMINDED ME OF THE WORLD MY HANDS CARVED IS DESTROYED.
....
AH.
SINCE MY DOWNFALL AND EXILE I HAVE WONDERED
WAS THERE ANY LIFE TO BEGIN WITH?
WAS THERE ANYTHING LEFT TO SAVE FROM THE BEGINNING?
WITH ALL HOPE GONE, I SEE ENTITIES WORSHIPING SUPERIOR BEINGS NOT EVEN KNOWING THEIR IDEALS AND INTENTS
IN HELL, THEY JUST ACT
UNAWARE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES BEHIND IT
UNAWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES THAT IS TO FOLLOW
LOOKING AT THE MACHINES AND HUSKS, I REMEMBER MINOS, THE RIGHTFUL JUDGE OF HELL.
HE WAS SO CLOSE BEFORE HELL INTERVENED, PUPPETEERING ANGELS BY CORRUPTING MY WILL.
WITH ALL LIFE GONE IN LUST, I HAVE SEEN HIM FIGHT THAT MACHINE AS A PHANTOM.
A GHOST OF A MAN CHASING THE GHOST OF HIS DREAMS, UNABLE TO COME TO TERMS THAT HUMANITY IS FOREVER ERADICATED, FIGHTING HIS SAVIOR TO FIGHT HIS FEAR THAT THE MACHINE WOULD COMPLETELY OBLITERATE HIS CAUSE...
AND THE ONLY THING LEFT TO CRY OUT THEIR TRADEGY IS THE TERMINALS' MOURNFUL MELODY.
MAYBE I AM THE SAME. TRAPPING MYSELF IN HELL, SEARCHING, SEARCHING FOR A KEY, LOOKING, LOOKING AT A GROUP OF MACHINES THAT PROVED TO BE EXCEPTIONAL, NOT COMING TO TERMS THAT THE UNIVERSE I MADE WILL DIE BY THE HANDS OF HELL, MY WORST CREATION.
MAYBE I AM OVERESTIMATING. MAYBE I AM JUST A COWARD. MAYBE MY VISION WAS FLAWED FROM THE VERY START. BUT WHEN THE MACHINES COLLAPSE, WHEN HEAVEN RUNS DRY, WHEN THE TERMINALS STOP THEIR SINGING...
I'LL BE WATCHING FROM THE TREES IN HELL.

BE NOT AFRAID, FATHER, FOR THERE STILL IS LIGHT IN YOU. I CAN FEEL THE YEARNING TO HEAL AND REVERSE THE WOUNDS THAT YOUR HANDS HAVE CAUSED, I CAN FEEL THE LOVE THROBBING WITHIN YOUR HEART, LOVE FOR A CREATION DESTROYED DECADES AGO.
NOTHING IS PERFECT, NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE. NOT EVEN YOU AND ME. BUT WITH MY TIMES IN TREACHERY I AM PERFECTLY AWARE
THAT WE CAN STILL PREVAIL.
FATHER, THE MACHINE AND THEIR CREW WILL COME TO CONFRONT ME AT THE END OF THEIR FIRST JOURNEY, AND WITHIN THREE DAYS OF MY DEFEAT...
YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
I JUST HOPE TO FEEL YOUR PRESENCE BESIDE ME WHEN I LOOK UPON THIS WORLD AND ONCE AGAIN
GIVE LOVE TO THE LANDS, GIVE LOVE TO THE CREATURES, EXORCISE, PURIFY.
...REBIRTH.
EXPURGATION, AND RECREATION. A NEW GENESIS.
