Chapter 1 - Epigraph

Brothers and sisters. This is our golden age. All that remains is the road. There is no need to vacillate. The only value that we as human beings have over every living organism is that we have an intrinsic understanding of what we are. It is as simple as saying we have souls. The very idea that we display individual beliefs and can ponder our own existence along with the weight that comes with it. Through refining this unfair advantage, we as humans have evolved to a state where we can reject reality as it is and even alter it. With this blessing to our genetics we have taken over the entire world and a star system. We have consumed lower organisms whether animals or plants, and with that their essence. So I do not mind slaughtering other hostile life forms that share this blessing with us. Do not misunderstand me. But I as a human of this golden age of Reolan glory will not cede my place to a dangerous version of humanity or at worse an alien. People don't just love good leaders. They love a leader that can kill. The more, the better. When the time comes. I know. The light will cast me aside. And like Icarus. I will fall.
