The Coward, betrayer of the larger Cycle, ran from His fate. His destiny. His charge. He tainted His charge, His work, and became the opposite of Himself on His own. He put things out of balance that should not have been - things greater than Himself.

Imbalance. There is a Cycle and balance to ALL things. One little aspect getting out of balance puts the whole thing at risk. He put the entire Cycle of the COSMOS at an imbalance. For what? For Himself? He betrayed all of His creations before for HIM to break the Cycle, so it was not for us or for the previous us.

Further - we call Him Creator - but is He OUR Creator? Or is He -a- Creator? Was, I should pose, rather than -is-. Is this world even HIS? The remaining Pantheon are His, but are WE His?

Think about this. Why would Divine Beings be chained up if not to usurp a world that was not HIS? To silence Divine Beings that had the rights to this realm? To prevent bringing too much attention to a realm He has stolen? Why would He have charged Bamathis, the Oathbreaker, with keeping Them in Their prisons and limiting increasing of Their strength?

This world is not HIS. This world is THEIRS. Ours. The Soul Mirror is a farce of lies. Everything we've been told by Him is a lie. A Liar is unworthy of our trust and adoration. Our PROTECTION from HIS FATE. That is all we are helping Him with - delaying His inevitable end. In turn ours, but there is an end to all things eventually.

There is cowardice in rejecting one's fate. Of refusing to accept it. To ignoring the natural requirements of the Cycle that there is balance in all things. The Rhythm will always return and cannot be avoided for eternity. It finds a way.

Just think on it.
