Where there is order, there is chaos. Where there is life, there is death. Where there is death, there is entropy. I am that entropy, I am decay, slow natural decay.”[/b][/i] | ———————————————————————————————————— | ———————————————————————————————————— | Luxcious’ Estate, Xiel | ———————————————————————————————————— | Silas: “Here we sit, discussing your betrayal. O what could have brought you to do such thing Luxcious?” | Luxcious: “Nothing, I only left them due to their corrupt ways.” | Silas: “Heresy! Blasphemy! You lie!” | Luxcious: “Aren’t lies just half truths? Poor pathetic fractured things?” | Silas: “They are blind to your ramblings! Blind! Immorality is your quill with which you write.” | Luxcious: “For the last time Silas! Your letting him control you! Don’t listen to him, please!” | Silas: “His actions have caused unnecessary suffering and death, unintended consequences of his limited foresight. You deem him evil due to the lies that are fed to you! Break their web, destroy the chains that bind you!” | Luxcious: “Silas!” | Silas: “No longer will I, or the Lord of Anarchë, answer to you anymore. Lythrux!” | Silas departs to somewhere else, presumably to tell his master of a job well done. Luxcious sits there, thinking how all of this went so horribly wrong. The he heard a voice, a whisper on the wind. | ———————————————————————————————————— | ———————————————————————————————————— | Blind, Yet Clear | ———————————————————————————————————— | ???: “Set you free.... Break your chains.... open your eyes...” | These words echoed in his mind forming a melody that resonated with him. He stood up from his chair laughing. His robes, once tattered, we’re now fixed. His eyes, once closed, now open. He seemed alone, though something was watching him. The decrepit form of a cat was watching him from the stairs. But once he had gotten up, it ran away. | Luxcious went outside onto the balcony. He looked up at the sky and was greeted by a familiar face. | ————————————————————————————————————
