The Great Text.
If you heed Minerva, the sun will have its way. The ground will crack and spit fire into the sky. All the world will burn. But this does not end the world, merely heralds its arrival. Darkness follows. Then you emerge, resolving to lay a foundation that such a tragedy does not befall the world again. You will become a symbol to those who survive. Hope. Knowledge. Determination. You will inspire them to rebuild, to thrive once more. And as the world heals, so too will humanity. But you are just a man, frail and mortal. You pass from the world, leaving behind only a memory, a legacy. You will be remembered first as a hero. Later as a legend…

[a tablet is shown with the words, “Heed These Words And You Will Be Saved”]

And in time… as a god.

[the words on the tablet change to, “Heed These Words Or Perish As A Heretic”]

It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well – and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life – used instead to justify taking it! And so you see… that what was shall be again. So tell me. How is this better?
