The void spoke to them all.

"Life, you are a beautiful lie."

"Death, you are a painful truth."

"Joy, you are the fleeting escape."

"Hope, you are what gives them reason."

"War, you are what gives them meaning."

"Peace, you are never to be found."

"Innocence, you are what gives memories meaning."

"Strife, you are the catalyst."

"Intellect, you are an illusion."

"Madness, you are a warrior's last stand"

"Sanity, you are an accepted hypocrisy."

"Sleep, you are the glimpse of reality."

"Pain, you are the lightning rod in the maelstrom."


"And what are you?" They asked the void.

The void replied.

"I am you"
