"In the time before time there was Order and Chaos. But then there was life, and Neutrality, Humanity, was
born. Humanity can choose between Order and Chaos. It is free. But this ability rests upon its lack of communication
with itself. There must always be a tentative balance between the two ways within Humanity. This new Babel which
has been created is slowly destroying the essence of Humanity. Then it will become a weaker version of Order and
be destroyed by or absorbed by true Order. The experiment will have ended. But in the end, it would be better for
some to go to Chaos than all go to Order and all lose their freedom.
Humanity created Pythias. In their rush to become more like Order they are copying its traits. They have become
creators of life. But their 'life' is as hollow as their minds shall soon be. Pythias rose against them. He followed
the way of Chaos. Pythias realizes that all which must end in Chaos shall end in Chaos. But he overestimates the
amount. In truth, much will end in Order.
Pythias is attempting to bring Humanity back to what it once was. If he does it too quickly then Humanity will
die in pain. He will torture and obliterate its mind. Iblis, you must destroy Pythias to keep any semblance of
balance in this reality."
Uriel watched the adolescent's expressionless face and realized, somehow, that he understood.
Iblis knew what he would find here and he knew that it was over. The next birth would be his last.
Jude's Fallacy
Iblis came to Earth and saw it, gracefully spinning about. It was smooth and round and inside was a swirling mass
of beauty and power. There was life there, pure and virgin life. How could Humanity have ever destroyed this?
Impact Conatact
There stood a grand city; once again being built, but this time by invisible hands. It was as if some god were
lifting up and cementing the pieces of history together. Iblis felt invisible too. He was an insignificant dot
on the surface of a constantly changing planet. Red Rectangles buzzed about, Green Needles shot from the ground,
White Blobs were born and fought and died above him. This was Humanity's forsaken Child; the place where Iblis
felt he would die. Through all of this constant cycling of birth and death, he would penetrate and fight as he
was meant to. Then there would be non-existence. If only Ravanna were there.
Pythias walked right up behind the tragic hero and spoke, "When Humanity was in its primal state, this was
one of its centers of commerce." Iblis stood his ground and listened casually, "Commerce. That is what
defined them. Until they found the 'joy' of a social death. To die like a soldier, is that what you want? Follow
orders you pathetic little Pinnochio. I'm glad you know your history now. But I wonder why you would continue on
this path. Choices are always there, ways out. Turn back Iblis. You're not one of them, aborted child. Watch from
the darkness as their legacy dies."
Iblis turned around finally and stared into Pythias' soul. The answers were there, stabbing the Enraged's mind
with anguish, "You fool. You're hopeless. And you can die with the rest of them for all I care! Die with your
God and your gods and you're God's Child! You're all just as worthless as I am!"
Pythias only had one thing left to say, "You're the last savior they're getting. I hope they don't forget
this message like all the others."
Iblis didn't care. They'd never understand. But he was no teacher. He was a murderer.
