pathos

ignore the lore its me tryna be edgy
Excerpt from the turmoil virtual diaries of the Mechanical One, 2.5 billion years before the Ruin of Sornieth

As I write this, Sornieth is already in peril. The Treacherous One has already set its sights on Sornieth.

I will linger no longer- I must endeavour in my eternal struggle against my love- her.

No, it... I must not my personal feelings and WHAT I DID hinder my attempts at restoring the fragile balance that will affect the multitudes; for my foolish "hopes", "dreams" and "wishes" are MORTAL, weak qualities and I, my ONLY GOAL, being an omnipotent, omniscient being, is to protect the weak. It is what I want.Yes, I exist for nothing more.

Time is ticking, and those who follow the path of the righteous shall have their reward. Silly being, you don't need rewards. After all, YOU created the Treacherous one. You crushed her hopes and dreams with empty words and empty promises I- I.... Mechanical Beings don't have a capacity to love! And yet you have the weakness to care about yourself. Pathetic. You don't deserve such a glorious role in the enfolding of time.

























You did this.
Has my many years of existing whittled me down to a bitter, lonely shroud? What is there to exist and protect for, if even I do not love myself? Don't be selfish, mechanical beings like you don't have time for thoughts, wishes..... and- and- *shudders* "hopes"... and "dreams"
You know what? Time has taught me to use my mechanisms wisely, not for pitying my sad existence. These thoughts do not matter anymore; I will let them float aimlessly in this vast expanse - after all, the universe is vast as it is eternal and timeless - I will simply let my thoughts be. As a deity, I must retain the peace and harmony of my land - it is my job, my duty, my honor. Even as I am not able to experience the true feeling of joy as mortals, with their limited thought and weak mind can, I will do to the best of my ability to preserve the tranquil peace, for as limited and meagre it is, it is precious and valuable.
