Scum.
To lie so brazenly, to use her name so.
I see you, Cifer Mugen. You, who slaughter my people. You, who target those I hold close. You, a poacher among my flock, a misbegotten bastard of a man. The latest incarnation of The Long War, of spanning centuries.
I believed that my faithful could resolve your blight. I believed that my people were strong enough. I believed that the scales of the world would balance themselves, that someone, anyone, would step forwards and end the suffering you pervade.
Time and time again I asked myself over and over, when is it the time to strike, when is it the time to lurk. How often I have trusted in others to kill in my name, to fight in my stead, as I sat by and worked endlessly towards the future.
Yet now, now, I see. Now I understand. Today, there is no hero coming. There is no savior to answer these prayers. It is too late for that, now.
There is only me.
I loved her.
I know that you are to blame, beyond it all. I know it was your fault. I know that it was in your name. I know even now that you try to tell the masses that it was my hand what ended Alysleneth Zeral, that you twist the knife embedded so near my heart.
I know that you do these things because you are afraid of me.
You should be.
You took someone from me.
You keep taking, and taking, and taking.
The world keeps tearing and ripping at everything I love.
And now I see you. You. An avatar of everything I hate about this world.
I have had enough.
This is where it stops.
This is where you die.
