Goddamn Hiatus

Well hello there reader. It's been a while. Why? No clue, I just haven't had any motivation to write.

Maybe I'm depressed.

Maybe I'm just a lazy ass.

Either way, for you all, I'm gonna try and pull myself out of it. Seriously, f I had stuck to my schedule, we'd be midway through Act 3 and Zeke would have already met Elijah!

I won't promise anything, but I'll try my best to shell out something soon. I owe you that much.

An Eye for an Eye

The Blind Man


Hmm. Now this seems rather unconventional. A Fear contributing to one of these Blogs. Although, taking into account the fact that STAB no longer considers me a Fear... Regardless, this may prove to be a rather unique scenario if any blogs maintained by fragments of the Dying Man aren't counted. All of my Archivists have been moving their data onto servers located at the Deicide's Bangkok headquarters. One such Archivist, Collector Gamma, has proven himself to be a highly valuable resource in regards to following orders. In a sense, he is the Nathan to my Elijah at this point in time.

I digress. The main reason I chose to seek out the Deicide is because I saw the others beginning to drift apart and form alliances after a certain attack on the Screaming Tower. As far as I know, only three such alliances exist, with no more than four of my former brothers and sisters in each. They've even begun to name themselves after certain elements of human culture, as ridiculous as it sounds. Regardless of their choices, they will cease to be a threat in due time. With my vast banks of knowledge combined with Elijah's ingenuity and pure determination, "A world free of Fear" may not be too grand of a goal after all.

Alas, a single reason would not be enough for me to join these men. What truly drove me to seek them was their creation of the Hybrids known as "Abominations".

...We're not all monsters, you know. I myself feel more like a human than anything. I once created an extension of myself, a daughter you could say. She went by the name of Diesis. She had youth and beauty eternal, and unparallelled kindness to match. Then, one day, one of her followers made a decision that caused her death. These past few months since then, I've been distraught and pained over the loss of her. But now... Elijah and Nathan have the means to create new beings similar to her. I realize that she won't be the same Diesis, but the attempt must be made. She must be brought back. She... She was my everything, and I lost her. I won't ever let that happen again.

Now, for the most satisfying reason I've joined Elijah. My daughter's servant, the one who indirectly murdered her, took very little time to grieve before joining the Archangel's forces. And from what I've seen, he's made quite the impression on his master. Enough that, in the event that there was a mass slaughter of Timberwolves in the Bangkok area, he would be deployed alongside his partner to investigate. And when I say partner, I do mean in the romantic aspect. Of course the feelings are unrequited, but that matters very little.

He too will know how it feels to have the thing you love most die.
