A Mockery of Sins
Let me begin with a story. Once upon a time somewhere in this mortal plane, a man walked along the beach of Eternity. He has been walking for a lifetime. Everyday he look towards the horizon and wonder how vast the ocean is. He had long forgotten where the beach began and he never questioned when it will end. Along his journey, he had made friends and met many people. They call him KTG and made him the Prince of Contrivance and Manipulation. No one knows where he comes from, not even himself. Some say that he is the Incarnation of will. Others say he is the Son of the MorningStar. To fulfill his sense of self, he bought them all and called himself Zente.
Now you remember the story of Zente. You remember how he fell in the Second Act of his chronicles. He was born with the power of free will, able to choose which path to follow. Thats when he started to walk along the beach. One day, an angel Serreya came to him. She had wings but he did not. So he asked why. The answer "Thats because I am your angel". So Zente learnt that it was up to him to choose, because he is the angel of free will. Soon, he had wings too and he understood why. He was Serreya's angel.
In a tragic twist of fate, something happened within Zente's heart. Such beautiful time was not to be. He questioned "Since I am the Angel of free will, why am I bound by destiny?" Unmoved by the notion that fate dictates the way things are, he defied every order that could possibly exist. "I am the representation of Will, I alone determine my future" he said, his eyes full of pride. As the day past by, he slowly learnt that certain matters are really beyong the boundaries of his power. Serreya had to go. He had to let her go so he could continue on his journey. He was unwilling. Yet it was to be. How?You ask. Its just fate.
He felt a sense of loss. But that was only temporary. What poisoned him, was the knowledge that he couldn't accompany Serreya even as a friend. He had wished for an ideal path. Yet, the only path was the beach. Because he has to carry on the journey. No, he wasn't without choice. He already made the choice when he began on the journey. Now he undestands that those beautiful times are but a chapter. There is more ahead. Still, worthiness crippled him. He felt worthless because he couldn't even fulfill a simple task. Time has come for him to realise that his will is fragile and its power limited.He was a mockery of Will. An insult to pride. Pride and Will weaved him an unworthy knot.
An so he fell. Now you remember the poem. About the child who stole his father's book. The child who ran off thinking that with the power of Will, he could do anything. He did not understand that Destiny saw the Lightbringer even as he fell. And when the Lightbringer fell, he fell undefeated. What mockery! For when Zente the incarnation of Will fell, he fell an unworthy soul, felling sorry and pathetic.
Now eternity has come full circle and the child finally understands why there was no head and tail to the beach. Because it comes full circle. Like the poem he wrote, he had fell. Worthiness his Sin.
So you ask what he is now. He is The Fallen. King of Contrivance and Manipulation? Bullsh-. Maybe he had inspired others. But that was when he was Great. Or at least when he felt he was Great. Now he finds himself useless. He couldn't even fulfill the most basic of friendship because he lacked the Will to. He could have, but his Will failed him. He mocks himself. What a joker he says. Claiming to be all high and mighty, yet helpless. He is disappointed with himself and knows he deserve no symphathy. He knows other's are disappointed in him too. Afterall, he is really only human.
