I've been thinking maybe these memories are a way to warn us of our past mistakes, so that we can be better versions of ourselves this time.

But then I guess we'd have to worry about what that means.

That was a long time ago.

[bearshermark]

Imagine if the God of your world just stopped being a thing. No more sun, no more new life because She trusted you, but you couldn't protect Her.

[serpentinthegarden]

That would never happen since She is the one who cast me out. I'm not to be trusted with anything especially not anything as important as life itself.

So you... killed God? My people would probably love you. They've been wanting to do that for centuries.

[bearshermark]

It wasn't me directly, but it was the power She entrusted me with that was used to betray Her.

I don't want to be a demon. I can't imagine wanting to destroy Life itself. Why would you? All that would be left is just.. desolate darkness.

[serpentinthegarden]

I never said I wanted that... just that would be the end result of Armageddon, I mean I assume, I don't have any inside knowledge on that.
Darkness is fine, I don't mind a bit of darkness. Desolate darkness sounds like it would be pretty boring... You never mentioned before that it would be desolate.

Anyway if the power was entrusted to you how could it be used against Her unless it was your idea? It's not like the power of a God is easy to steal.

[bearshermark]

A demon extracted my soul.

[serpentinthegarden]

Oh.

[ Awkward... ]

You make a deal with him?

[bearshermark]

No.

[serpentinthegarden]

Tough break.

But... she was practically asking for it by giving all her power to a human. She had to have known that was a bad idea.

[bearshermark]

It wasn't all Her power, just some of it.

She didn't have much of a choice, though. She's a tree. She chooses Her champion when the world comes under threat.

[serpentinthegarden]

As if that matters if it causes the end of the world...

[bearshermark]

Yeah.
