Prologue

I didn't have a Prologue for the story before this blog, but there is an Epilogue, so I figured there should be a Prologue too. Hopefully it draws people in, but if you think it's unnecessary, or uninteresting, let me know. Either I'll change it, or cut it out. But for now, here it is:

Prologue

Why am I still here? I know why, but I wish it wasn’t so. It’s all my fault, and now it’s starting again, as it has hundreds of times before. One selfish choice, one foolish mistake, and now I’m cursed to live until it’s undone.

Was it a choice, or was it fate? Did I truly, and freely choose to do what I did, or did destiny have the final decision? Regardless I would have still done it. If I could change the past, do it over, would I act any different? No, I don’t believe so. Every choice has a consequence, and for good or bad, that consequence causes another consequence, another choice. The chain builds and grows, and over the centuries, one small choice, can cause a world of change.

I have seen the world change. I have seen seasons pass, kingdoms rise and fall, and I’ve countless heros perish. I’ve seen horrors and wonders happen before my very eyes. A cycle has ended, and I can feel another approaching. I wish I could see them, speak to them, tell them that their destiny is forlorn. They will believe themselves special, unique, invincible, but I know the truth. They are mortal, as everyone is mortal. I doubt the end will every truly come, but I was promised that it would. Someday, the end will be here. Someday I will be free, able to leave this changing world, and experience the freedom that so many before me already have.

Someday.
