[QUOTE="LordVyreth, post: 1644839, member: 9626"] [b]Final Excerpts.[/b] Wow, I finally hit a thousand views! Thanks for everyone who has been following the story so far! Unfortunately, this has been a very busy week for me. Today's my birthday, so I've been visiting family and such, which has been taking up my nights. Expect a double-length update this Sunday, but for now, I'll just post the final three excerpts, from the goddess of art, love, and children respectively. Sadly, the last excerpt worked better with a different font, to represent that it was, well, written in crayon. Again, goddess of children! edit: Well, the Book of Tepedin had to be altered, too. It originally was designed with a more visual style, but the formating wasn't working right, so I had to change it. Eh well, at least the story came across. The Long Flight (Excerpt from the Book of Tepedin) So away we fled to new lands, to make a new home, where we could live in peace. But the road was long, and the journey took us over mountains and through twisting caverns. As we journeyed, many of us fell to the elements, to disease or monsters, or to the fires of war. Once, we tried to reestablish Methosilang, but it was again discovered, forcing us to flee again after less than 100 years. Our hope was fading, and our people seemed lost…. The Final Home (Excerpt from the Book of Jolia) And so, it appeared that the seeds of immorality and sin which destroyed our world had almost completely destroyed us. Little hope remained for our careless minions, whose selfish desires so often overrode both genetic and environmental views of love and sacrifice. Even now, instead of turning to compassion and understanding of each other for strength, they relied on an ancient myth. According to the first rulers of the kingdom, their land was eternally guaranteed to exist. We realized that even if that was true, the prophecy only stated that the kingdom would have eternal peace, which could best be achieved if the kingdom was dead, but they still clung to the empty hope. In the end, however, they were able to break their addictions to self-absorption and control issues. Apparently, having their kingdom destroyed twice and years of exile and wandering was just the kind of “tough love” that they needed. At last, they found a new place to live: a large mountain, that would make the perfect home if hollowed out. Decades of labor and cooperation was needed to make this dream a reality, but at last, they finished building their new home. And so it is, and so it shall remain, as long as they resist the temptation to slide back into sinful and hedonistic ways. The End (Excerpt from the Book of Tsykie. Despite the tense of the this script, it actually is intended to be a prophecy of things to come) And we made the new home, and we all shared and were nice to each other, so when the bad guys tried to hurt us again, we all beat them up, and the bad guys all ran away crying, and we all cheered, and broke the dark balls, and fixed up the land. And we all lived in joy and peace forever and ever. The end. [/QUOTE]
