Narrative of War

Chapter One

Ah, I see you have been watching over them again.

Indeed I have. One nation has decided to include me in their teachings. It's quite interesting.

One of their leaders dislikes you don't they?

Yes, but I believe it to be simple jealousy. Nothing more. Besides I can never fully interact with them either.

Do you wish to interact with them? I'm a bit of an acquaintance with one of the nation's citizens. There seems to be a bit of trouble with her and another within the land.

Yes there is. They just had a festival you see, and directly after a citizen was exiled.

For what reason?!

General rudeness I suppose. No one particularly liked them.

Were they not betrothed to one of the leaders of this country?

Apparently it was cancelled.

It looks like they may exile another.

Yes, but simply because they encouraged a citizen's obsession with me.

Obsession?

Yes, it is quite fearful indeed. It is poisoning their mind and causing them to act irrationally.

That's always the case isn't it? How long will it take for those on land to believe that there is no way we may interfere?

Good friend, come look, the exile is taking place.

You find entertainment with this?

Yes, I do. The way these mortals act is so much more exciting than our neutral life above here.

I sense extreme tension between the two leaders. I strongly agree that this is jealousy, even though it is misplaced. There's no reason to be jealous of an obsession that does not exist?

Mm.

Mm? What does that mean, comrade? Don't tell me you've caught an emotion.

Not yet, but I fear it may come.

Well it would be best if you avoid it, it shall only cause you a great deal of pain.

You're right.

Ah! Another festival! The population seems to have increased as well!

You are correct, yet there are some I dislike.

I concur. They don't seem to know what they are doing. Yet I suppose I don't know what they are doing either.

You make me laugh, friend. The festival is to last for quite a bit of time however. Do you notice that the tensions have increased?

Yes, I don't understand why these leaders got together. They work so poorly. Oh my! One has stricken the other? But for what purpose?

Singing a traditional hymn. A hymn about our world that they worship? What is wrong with this individual?

I believe the jealousy has increased immensely. I bestow upon thee thy sin of Envy.

Envy? What of Wrath? Surely their anger had something to do with their sinful acts.

Wrath would be secondary.

Does the other receive a virtue?

Possibly. I have not considered such a thing. Why do you ask?

I am not sure.

It is best that you keep your guard up. If you become weak, even a meer human may harm you.

Pah! Nonsense, you fool. Nothing has come over me as you suggest.

I think it best that we leave this world alone for a while.
