Bruno pyr Aertas — Third Failure

[Jumpy]

The masses would call it a success.
Mankind was built to see victories as a reason to stop thriving for more.
So simple. So easily amused.
I do not envy them.



What occurred to me this morning should have happened thirty-two years ago. By all means do I remain a... failure. A disappointment. Humans have always been fascinated by the idea of claiming life was complete once they have found a mate for their earthly desires and have built a family to ensure their heritage will be passed on.

How foolish.

She is loyal. She is loving. She is the only woman who is fit to be my wife. Were I to stop the day we got married I would be nothing more than a pathetic simpleton. Were I to halt my ascension when our children were born I would be no more than a father figure. Happy?

Of course I am. But mere happiness is only satisfying to those who strive to be nothing more than average.

I have risen above mankind.
I stand above humanity.
And she stands with me.

I will guide humanity to their future.
Unlike the stars, I do not withhold my aid.
Unlike Primordials, I do not demand sacrifice.

With my hands alone I create.
With my hands alone I destroy.
It is only now that I realize...

... one must destroy in order to create.
