The 1st Word [Video]

[the_final_word]

[A young woman appears on the screen, with a serene expression on her face. She offers a small smile. She'd almost look like an ordinary girl in her late teens, if it wasn't for her odd colouring, and the fact that her hair seems to be moving of its own volition.]

Hello.

[When she speaks, it's with a crisp French accent.]

My name is Daemon. Your Greeters were most helpful.

[Whether she believes them or not is another story. Still, the people here are quite unlike those in any system she's encountered previously. Her expression grows more solemn as she moves beyond her introduction.]

All the fighting here concerns me. These struggles between Newcomers and locals, between AGI and SERO...they seem to bring such needless suffering. Only unity can bring peace. I would like to work together with each and every one of you to achieve that.

[She looks as though she might have something more to say, then decides against it.]

I expect we will be talking again soon enough. For now, au revoir.

[Inclining her head slightly as a goodbye, Daemon disconnects the feed.]

Some would say there is no peace without conflict. As light is to shadow, one may not exist without the other.

[the_final_word]

Conflict motivates people to seek peace. I believe, though, that once people are truly at peace that they will not seek conflict.

[olderthandirt]

One path among many. Know that nothing stands still. I have witnessed the demise of many civilizations. Some fell to war, tearing themselves apart, while others collapsed beneath their own weight- politics woven with more politics. Destinies twining until the pattern is met.

[He turns the page, the video going black for just a second as he smoothes the sheet down.]

There shall be conflict in your peace as there shall be peace in conflict.

[the_final_word]

You must be very old and wise if you have lived long enough to witness such a thing.

[This intrigues her.]

[olderthandirt]

I have existed since the beginning of the Creation I dwell in.

[the_final_word]

Since the creation of a system?

[olderthandirt]

On a more vast scale.

[the_final_word]

Then you are the person to ask, should I be seeking a history lesson, oui? What is your name?

[It makes her wonder just how old he really is. Daemon's sense of time is faster than most.]

[olderthandirt]

Knowledge of the past may only lend to the future.

[it was both his opinion and the truth. If you could see the pattern of history playing over and over, it was easier to comprehend.]

I am Destiny.

[the_final_word]

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Monsieur Destiny.
