From the Men of Chaos


"Him and I, we are the kind of people who start a civilization in times of destruction. We cut through the mess and form the first pathway. There are others who take it forward once it is born, help people build their houses and finally, there are more who lay down the rules.

Sadly, we aren't needed anymore once the rules are laid down, once there is peace and order, because him and I, we are those, who people turn to in times of chaos. But the storm has to pass for the sun to shine. We are those who fade away once dawn hits. Our lightning can't compete against the dazzle of the peaceful sun."

"And? What happens then?"

"And nothing. That's it. We walk away just because we're done building the roads and pathways. We leave, to lay down another staircase somewhere, to form another civilization, and to come back, when chaos is restored."
