Neri 3590 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Laying in the library in the Cloud Temple is a mundane looking book, clad not in lace and thread but simple leather and twine, the cover worn and beaten from the passage of time. The only adornment on the book is a thin circle imprinted upon the cover. Upon opening it, you would see weathered yellow parchment written upon in ink in a calligraphic style, headed by a single phrase in quotation marks. "Tuva'seth" Many say that in the beginning, all came from one. One from outside the Nothing. Creator, Godanistan, Yemekar... his masks are many but his deeds are the same. He brought Order to the Chaos of the All, and shaped it into His will. This is wrong. Before the All, there was the Void. A place so infinitely expansive - beyond the limits of living reckoning, that the impossible did happen. Something happening in the Nothing. Of course, one may call this impossible, but one should consider that in a place infinite in size, no matter how little the chance of something happening, something will happen. It is a certainty. What it was, one cannot know. But from the Nothing - the Void, came the Everything. Some believe that the Nothing could not exist without an antithesis - life to death, hot to cold. The most logical explanation is it was energy - pure, untainted energy, so chaotic in nature that it was Everything at once, a trillion to the power of trillion happenings occurring at once in an infinite space. Coincidences began to happen. One says began, but in terms of infinity in a place where time can only be judged by how quickly the chaos changes, it most likely happened in what can only be called instantly. Chaos began to align, the patterns and sequences combined. Chaos became Order. Such was our world born. Now, the world as we know it is not the Void. It is the Everything to us. Yet, we were not content. We wanted more. It was in our nature. And who could blame us? Thus, we discovered our uncaring creator. The Void. The All. And what did we do? We tried to command it. We, the product of energy given form by the random chance of a trillion coinciding variables in an infinite space of Chaos. We tried to control God. Unfortunately for us, our God is not benevolent or caring, hateful or spiting. It is Chaos, random nihilism and creationism to the extremes and beyond in every possible way. It is more nightmarish than a Harbinger and less caring than a plague. It gave birth to us in a fitful instant and could end us that way just as quickly. And we let it in willingly. The very first time we reached out to touch the Void, it was most likely with excitement, or ecstasy. We were part of something more. Something greater. What we didn't think of was the ramifications of such an action. A single crack, that's all it takes, and then The writing stops there, the rest of the yellowed pages blank. The book is unsigned. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredfort (jens6851) 283 Share Posted March 3, 2014 When once discovered, John Lartius Fredfort would nod slowly at himself, the pages flicked to finish and the simple leather book closed before he would mumble, no, almost whisper at himself in a hushed and careful manner. "Problems I've dealt with before.. Surely.. Hmpff.. Aye.. Collapse it hopefully won't... Yet." By then he would carefully note a few keywords in the diary of his own, his steps echoing through the almost empty halls as he trudged towards the exit..

Googlesearch 141 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Sonn Ander would note it is unsigned and not protected by any magical force, Perhaps he would let it go if the legitimate owner would step up and claim it((physically stopping him with violence is also a banable offence)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varstivus 98 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Varstivus looks at the group, cocking his head. "Seriously? All it takes for 'proof' is one book someone randomly found in the temple? Not the history that barely happened four generations ago?" He shakes his head seriously wondering how gullible people are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heero 4092 Share Posted March 3, 2014 ((Thievery is not banned in the CT, violence is, and sex...)) *Rosso hopes the man puts the book down so he can read it, and then copy it, and sell at his shop.* Harbinger Dumamis drifts along the border of the Cloud Temple's barrier. Gazing intently at the library. Almost salivating. If he could produce such a liquid that is. [Nope. Stealing too. We all remember the Cappy-bread bans. Also peaceful protests. Poor, poor Orcs.] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
