(this is all three parts of my letter to man. it can also be found on myspace.)
Closure
I have walked the edge of the Abyss.
I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]
I have seen your future.
And I have learned.
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.
I HAVE WON.
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.
Time's up
We are not impressed by your lack of progress.
nor will we be offering you a second chance.
you have failed
I AM STILL UNDEFEATED
We will let you know when to remove your things.
but that will be unnecissary.
You brought nothing of value into our world
we will make sure you take nothing out.
I have defied gods and demons.
I am your shield, I am your sword.
I know you; your past, your future.
This is the way the world ends
By sharp and flame
Our conviction is like an arrow in flight
Your life will only last untill it reaches you.
I have grown tired of these zelots who guard my sun.
do not bother trying to reason with them,
they will not like you.
Everything they claim is their own they have stolen.
And what of the Giants who formed this world?
So much to tell you,
but so many more important things to do.
There was a fourth.
You couldn't have known.
And I haven't forgotten.
It is a blurred line that lies at the edge of Godhood and Insanity.
Guess which side of it I am on.
I am both the Cortana and the Durandal
I've had the strangest dreams lately -
raging seas, howling beasts, a Demon folded in black clouds.
I believe I know what it guards, and I will have it.
AND WHEN YOU LOSE
that is how the world will end.......
