"...  i/b; The Designs We Are Bound By

 

Within our spirit is carried the calcified designs of evolution. Our minds are a machine run by clockwork; one cog we know as ‘adaptation’ is that which drives us to adhere to our circumstances and exact solutions to the problems presented to us. It is perhaps one of the many things that allows us, as mortals, to be truly, naturally anchored to this earth; chained here by these relations to the world around us, which too are bound by aspects of adaptation, of evolution, of rising above turmoil to fight for survival.

 

But mortality is a deviation. The Race of Man, as one may call it, is a numbered entity that has existed far longer than we recall it to have. Born within the forgotten Age of Blood and Darkness, they defied the natural processions of what we know as the Old Order; ushering to life the element of fire so that it may shine in the darkness and cast back the nameless things that for so long adhered to a world bound by brutality and adaptation. The Race of Man … is defined by their artificial adaptation. We are a fragile kind who willingly petrified the designs of evolution within our spirit so that we may preserve our image; resorting to the use of tools rather than the hands we are born with. The nameless things from the Forgotten Once-Was used their hands … and they changed beyond all measure of comprehension. That was the way of things before, and we defied it. That is what we are, as men: dissenters and rebels.

Had our forgotten predecessors chose to adhere to the world they were brought into unwillingly, we would be no identifiable species at all; our kind would be a tree that suffers under the weight of many branches, many distinctions, many malformations, many adaptations. Though perhaps that’s where we’ve found ourselves, these days; caught within the illusions of race, of culture, of who has what curse, of who dies faster and who stays young, we are victimized to the concept of what tied the Age of Blood and Darkness together -- everything was different. Everything was bound by barbarism. Everything fought against everything else, opted to devour one-another, and bore no sense in unity, in cooperation, in preservation of themselves. We are now the beasts of a machine once defied by men who walked the earth before ink was applied to paper, and it will soon spark a repetition in history where the order of the world experiences a recession ..."
