	I was dying.
</p>

<p>
	On the floor, bleeding out.
</p>

<p>
	I breathed in out. <em>Calm. I must be calm.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em><strong><u>F</u><s>E</s><u>E</u><s>L</s></strong></em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>NO! I-I mean no. I-I can't let you win.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em><strong><u>F</u><s>E</s><u>E</u><s>L</s></strong></em> yelled the fragment of a broken god.
</p>

<p>
	But I didn't. I kept myself stable.
</p>

<p>
	And... I died.
</p>

<p>
	In the arms of my brother.
</p>

<p>
	~~~
</p>

<p>
	He was dying.
</p>

<p>
	On the floor, bleeding out.
</p>

<p>
	<em>THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING</em>
</p>

<p>
	I felt his presence fading away.
</p>

<p>
	I couldn't handle this.
</p>

<p>
	I felt his mind jumble in pain and fear, but at the end-he was calm.
</p>

<p>
	He stayed calm.
</p>

<p>
	And he died.
</p>

<p>
	In my arms.
</p>

<p>
	<em><u>I</u><s> </s><u>c</u><s>a</s><u>n</u><s>t</s><u> </u><s>t</s><u>a</u><s>k</s><u>e</u><s> </s><u>t</u><s>h</s><u>i</u><s>s</s><u> </u><s>a</s><u>n</u><s>y</s><u>m</u><s>o</s><u>r</u><s>e</s></em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>JUST LET ME FREE</em>
</p>

<p>
	"GIVE HIM BACK!" I yelled into the void.
</p>

<p>
	It was night.
</p>

<p>
	And I couldn't take it anymore.
</p>

<p>
	The emotions welling up inside of me...
</p>

<p>
	<em><strong><u>F</u><s>E</s><u>E</u><s>L</s></strong></em> and I gave in.
</p>

<p>
	The world nearby shattered.
</p>

<p>
	And I felt my feelings ripping apart.
</p>

<p>
	I just wanted to expand. Let all this feeling bunched up inside of me free.
</p>

<p>
	and so-I died too.
</p>

<p>
	At least, I thought I did.

	Everyone knows about the Faewylds.
</p>

<p>
	As a child, everyone used to wonder if the magic was truly real.
</p>

<p>
	And every child is told the story of Ruin.
</p>

<p>
	Lord Ruin, and Lady Preservation, were the King and Queen of the Scadrian kingdom.
</p>

<p>
	Lord Ruin doubted the Fae wylds, which were only a small portion of the planet.
</p>

<p>
	And he attacked.
</p>

<p>
	It wasn't as much as an attack as it was lumbering.
</p>

<p>
	Lumberjacks took down the forest, tree by tree.
</p>

<p>
	Eventually, they destroyed the whole forest, and built their city where it used to be.
</p>

<p>
	A large city, modern for it's time.
</p>

<p>
	Lady Preservation was nervous, but Lord Ruin would not listen too her.
</p>

<p>
	So she left.
</p>

<p>
	Took a portion of his forces, he was furious.
</p>

<p>
	But his time was coming.
</p>

<p>
	1 week after the faewylds were destroyed, the city woke up to being surronded with trees.
</p>

<p>
	No one knows what happened after words.
</p>

<p>
	Thus, the word for savior and safety became named Preservation and the word for destruction and death was Ruin.
</p>

<p>
	That city, the City of Ruin, became the center for the faewylds, and this time? They spread.
</p>

<p>
	Every day, the faewylds would surround another city, it's residents never to be seen again.
</p>

<p>
	Eventually, the other Kings and Queens, each's name having a word created after them, came to the bourder of the faewylds to plead to the fae.
</p>

<p>
	Eventually, Queen Cultivation of the Fae, came out to hear their please.
</p>

<p>
	They said that they shouldn't be prosecuted for the acts of another.
</p>

<p>
	The Queen refused.
</p>

<p>
	But then, Lady Preservation stepped forward.
</p>

<p>
	And offered her life for the sake of the world.
</p>

<p>
	Her sacrifice has been remembered too this day.
</p>

<p>
	Now, each King and Queen of the respecting forces have titles based on their very first predecesor.
</p>

<p>
	After the Great Schisim of the Reborn Fae,
</p>

<p>
	The remaining forces of Lady Preservation named their leader, from then on, Harmony.
</p>

<p>
	We should really get to the story.

	You may remember a world...
</p>

<p>
	Of a God-Shattered.
</p>

<p>
	Destroyed.
</p>

<p>
	Ripped into pieces.
</p>

<p>
	16 pieces, if you remember.
</p>

<p>
	16 gods that lived in relative harmony.
</p>

<p>
	This is not that world.
</p>

<p>
	In this world, 16 fools try and kill a god.
</p>

<p>
	but only to Gods are left to claim.
</p>

<p>
	So 15 enter one god, and leave one alone in the other.
</p>

<p>
	Reason and Passion.
</p>

<p>
	Logic and Emotion.
</p>

<p>
	Maybe there is a world where the 16 split evenly.
</p>

<p>
	Maybe there's a world where the 2 fledgling gods cooperated.
</p>

<p>
	But that is not a world I know.
</p>

<p>
	Passion, the 14 lending them an upper hand, walked away with the 16's soul.
</p>

<p>
	It escaped.
</p>

<p>
	15 now 1, an enraged god roared.
</p>

<p>
	without Reason, it destroyed itself.
</p>

<p>
	You may remember a world where the death of a god left a scar on the universe.
</p>

<p>
	A death that made torturous creatures of dreams.
</p>

<p>
	This world encountered the death of not one, but 15. With the majority of the 16th.
</p>

<p>
	And it was violent.
</p>

<p>
	A scarred world, with no trace of any healing, left with a dead god.
</p>

<p>
	A god left in exile, stripped greatly of their power...
</p>

<p>
	And a secret...
</p>

<p>
	In this world, the Dual God wished to live.
</p>

<p>
	In this world, the Dual God imparted it's knowledge.
</p>

<p>
	In this world, the Exiled God knows what it shouldn't.
</p>

<p>
	Do you want to see this world? For it is not pretty. Nor is good.
</p>

<p>
	This world may have no resolution, may only be sad.
</p>

<p>
	And yet... I still ask.
</p>

<p>
	Do you wish to come on this Journey?
</p>

<p>
	Would you wish to enter this world?
</p>
