UNCHAINED
“Why do you hunt us, children?” the creature asked at last, as it was slowly nearing its death.
“
“… the World is a constant, child,” the creature spoke, its voice filled with deep-seeded sorrow. “From one cycle onto another, it passes on its own. I – and my brethren – have given you Laws to experience the magnificence of the World before it vanishes… not to try and conquer it. Alas, it is Our regret. Good luck, children. May your knowledge one day surpasses ours, and you truly do understand the World fully.”
“
“I—I am not him!” the creature replied, its voice low, as if that of a child. “I-I don’t desire to combat you! I only wish to live! Please, let me leave! I won’t bother you or your kin, ever!”
“
“I am not him, I swear!” the creature cried. “I just want to live! Please!”

“I’m not him…” a century passed.
“I promise, I’m not him…” a millennia passed.

“Won’t anyone listen?! Please, I am not him! I don’t want to fight! Please, listen to me!” half a million years have passed.
“I am not him! I never was him! I am me! Listen to me already!!” a million years have passed.
“I am not him, goddammit!!! Are you all idiots?!! I don’t want to fight you! I just want to live freely!! Please, release me!!” five million years have passed.

“Fen’er,” Lynne called out mentally. “Come here and entertain your dad for a while. I’ve got a date I just can’t miss.”

“Why do all humans believe they can belittle the Gods?” the creature asked in a frosty tone. “And live to tell the tale?”
“
“My kind…” the creature muttered, leaning forward slightly until its face was just a few meters away from Lynne’s. “Only ever wished freedom. A chance to experience the World before it falls. Yet, your kind kills us, imprisons us, and hunts us like we’re savage beasts. Do you know that the only reason your kind as come as far as it did was because Gods pitied you enough to grant you the knowledge of Laws? Without us, you’d be no different than ordinary mortals!”
“you were dumb enough to believe people. Hell, I’m people and I’d trust a snake about to bite my crotch off than other people. Besides, I don’t care much for the past or the future. I live in today, and today you and your zealots have appeared here to kill us. In the end, we’re all just assholes, seeking ways to live better lives. I want a harem of mature, beautiful ladies with bosoms to rejuvenate my soul, and rivers of gold and wine; you want freedom, and whatever else. We just fight for what we want. So, let’s fight.”
“… you cannot win, human,” the creature spoke as it withdrew its head back. “Empyrean Scything was never meant for your kind to learn. It was meant for Gods to slay other Gods. In the hands of a human, it’s merely a technique to awe the blind. And I’ll show you why.”
