xo31 3984 Share Posted March 3 [!] Easily findable in any void-library was this text. [!] I A prologue to Vacantism, the cult of Nothing. Nothingness: An explanation of the Void. Penned by the Twice-Bathed in the Void, Arthur Burke. Beware; one might consider this article to be an ‘infohazard’, which is a term that effectively means that, by reading and knowing this information, you or your sanity is at risk. You have been warned. . . . . . . . . . The world, as we know it, is a lie. A storybook, with pages and foundations of reality which do not exist in any concrete sense. It’s long been known that one day, a magic may entirely exist - while the next, it may go entirely inert. Reality shifts, and changes, much like a storybook would. And in this eternal chaos of Creation, you will find only cruelty in these lies. It leaves one with a choice. Accept the lie, or reach for the truth. As all of creation is a lie, then the truth lies within nothingness. The Void. Wizards and mages and sorcerers have scratched the surface of the Void, borrowing from it their own idealizations of the truth. Perhaps power, perhaps chaos, perhaps order, perhaps goodness, or perhaps evil. There is little that intrinsically ties a mage to another as any may use the Void for their selfish or selfless purposes. And so, this text is written in order to perhaps offer a new, True, thought process for mages of the Void. To choose the latter; if nothing but falsities can be pulled from Creation, then nothing but truths can be pulled from the Void. Many hold science classes, teaching one how to use the Void, or how the Void works. A common lie that is told is that it is a ‘realm of pure energy’, or a ‘realm of both what is, and what is not’. This is untrue. As most things spoken or believed by descendantkind. No, the Void is Nothing. In essence. There is no comprehending it to be done by mortals as few mortals can even begin to understand what ‘nothing’ truly is. They envision the Void as one big glowing sandbox where they may pull sand from and shape into whatever they so please. This is another truth; the only way one might begin to understand Nothingness is to embrace Nothingness in the form of embracing the Void. – But this is exceedingly difficult for the egotistical mage, as in order to embrace the Void and to embrace Nothingness is to understand and comprehend that there are no truths to be found in creation. Now, one must not reject all lies in order to find nothingness, but they must understand that it is all a lie. All, except for the Void. How can one possibly embrace the Void? A question which a reader might think within their mind as their eyes scan these pages. It may come within an elite form of practiced meditation, in which one sits for as many hours or days as they must, until within their mind, there is nothing. To find a sanctuary of truth within this world of lies. Sit, and clear your mind of every thought it has. Most will fail at this, nearly every time - but for the one willing to truly find Truth within the Void, they will try as many times as is necessary. Only when one reaches this state of true nothingness, will their mind begin to present truths to them, and they may go forth with their life; understanding what nothingness is, and weighing it against the Lie of Creation. Do not try to grasp onto your sanity as you undergo this journey. The ‘‘sane’’ are those that have found comfort and acceptance in the way that the lies of the world are. Some have even come up with further lies to comfort themselves. So I urge thee, should the reader of these words be a practitioner of the Void, to go and embrace Nothingness. Once you have done so, you will be rewarded back with your ego. You may shout from the tallest mountain that you know the truth, and everyone else knows a lie. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese 8891 Share Posted March 3 Juniper folds the paper into a paper airplane and throws it through a portal that powegamingly flies it right back to Arthur. Scribbled over the words was written in black marker, “Shut the **** up” 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribbled over the words was written in black marker, “Shut the **** up” Arthur probably wouldn't have sent a copy to Juniper, as he suspected she'd not care about 'truth'. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisket 4538 Share Posted March 3 “Let’s see…” Vivien paced around the library with this book that had arrived in a shipment, The High Witch continue to twirl her hair with one finger while holding the book in the other. “Nothingness, to embrace the reality of the void, if fallacies… not falsities can be pulled from the creation, then truths can be pulled from the void. I wonder if he actually has finally lost it. Either way how does Opening tears and committing terrorism count towards this truth. This is going into the forbidden section” And that is where it stood. A chain and lock were placed in the new book. With a key Only Vivien held. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardory 2978 Share Posted March 3 Soxton Boomstitch, Big Hat Society #3, was mending his wounds caused by the terrifying and colossal OCEAN crabs (which to be fair, is just regular crabs) which attacked him earlier today on a scouting mission. The gnome sees this “cogitohazard” crumpled on the beaches, and despite his best interest, reads it anyway. He has dealt with such before, this is no different. ”This isn’t a cogitohazard.” he notes promptly after, becoming instantaneously bored and tossing the paper once again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
