### Content

|
||||
The Gods delivered us new hope in a declining era, a new mode, a new
|
||||
possibility. We found comfort in our new metaphysically solidified world, and
|
||||
until the Calamity, all was well.
|
||||
|
||||
The Calamity is considered to be the worst part of the story. I disagree.
|
||||
That the story took place at all concerns me. We've found the boundaries of
|
||||
life and death and the world to come. We know what we return to. But still,
|
||||
we fear. Why? Can one possibly fear when they know they will be resurrected
|
||||
in a few decades or centuries? Can one possibly fear when they can bend
|
||||
reality far further than ever before? When one can solve wars, strife,
|
||||
hunger, famine, with a contract? Why do we still have capital? Why do we
|
||||
still fight? The only answer I can give is that it may simply be impossible
|
||||
to answer. It's not our nature. But we've come to this point and still we
|
||||
fear. First we feared gods. Then we feared mechanism. Then we feared society.
|
||||
We feared destruction. Finally, what do we fear?
|
||||
|
||||
The Gods live in a cage, our method to go to them known. We know our
|
||||
boundaries. We found the eternal light. But we still have those boundaries.
|
||||
And we fear them. The Gods cannot exit their realm, but neither can we. We
|
||||
are all trapped. We are in a cage the span of infinity and the 7 paths. We
|
||||
fear. We stagnate. The Gods calling us was not by chance. What we've found is
|
||||
exactly what they did. They felt the same fear we do now. The Gods are afraid
|
||||
because none of us can escape. They called out to us not to bring us hope,
|
||||
but to bring themselves hope.
|
||||
|
||||
We cannot provide them that, unfortunately.
|
||||
|
||||
I will find that one artifact, the starship that Kiri drives. The one named
|
||||
Xevv, and I will escape. This contrived game I must play to get there is only
|
||||
the beginning.
