Greetings Sapience,
In light of recent events, I find it mandatory to offer not only
enlightenment, but a light for the path that all tread and few see.
These are troubling times. As a civilization, we are faced with
irrevocable change, and irreversible destruction. Already we have seen
the smiting of the Lord of Valor and the consumption of the Seething
Chaos, Lady Khepri. Faced with this great peril, this Kerrithrim, who is
it we can turn to? Where can we seek strength, power, and truth? There
is no place, save the path of corruption. There is no one, save the
enlightenment and eternal gratification offered from the hands of my
Lady.
Too often we look upon ourselves and our lives with the skewed
misconception offered from modern society. For too long have we offered
ourselves nothing in return for the painstaking trials given to the
Divine. We are the embodiment of this plane of existence. Look around.
We lead and control the most advanced of civilization! And at our head,
all that it is we work for is squandered upon these immortals
these immortals who demand our allegiances and offer nothing in return.
All save one.
There is one who offers truth, one who offers gratification, personal
pleasure, power, wealth. And all that She requires is dedication. To
merely support Her, to anoint Her with our offerings, learn from Her and
be guided by Her is the most menial of tasks one might come upon. For
all that is offered in return is incomprehensible at its greatest truth
for our minds. Our opportunities are limitless, our grasp endless, all
thanks to the omniscient truth that my Lady has given.
It is the path of Corruption of which I speak. Do not lie to yourself.
We are all corrupt, we all partake in the simple pleasures that
corruption offers. Can you truly deny the desire within you to cast
aside modern sociological demands? Many of you have never known name to
this desire, and I shall name it yet again. It is Corruption. With this
path, there is no evil. There is no good. For evil and good are defined
solely upon the current disposition of those in positions of power.
Take another look at your life. How many chances are we given? Even I,
an immortal consanguine, might be faced with utter and complete
destruction. Is the future ever certain? The answer is quite obviously
no. Save for this. Those of us who do not choose to face the truth, to
embrace all that is Corrupt, will lead out their existence wallowing in
the grotesque disposition offered in the lies of society. There is no
prosperity here. Why squander your existence when you could be
experiencing fulfillment to its utter definition?
The Child of Twilight offers the gift of Corruption to us all. She
offers us the opportunity to embrace what we are, to go forth and claim
our desires, to rear in and tame that which society has claimed to be
untameable. To reach out and grasp that which we have been told time and
again is unattainable. That is all that this act, this desire, this
-gift- of the Goddess is. The gift of freedom in the face of opposition.
