Ho, fellow travelers of the Voidtrecker Express. I hope you are all enjoying some apparently well earned rest. I am 10 Vigilant Gaze Purges The Horizon, or if you'd rather, just Vigilant Gaze. I am an angel.

My time here has shown me things I did not think were possible, and that the world is far more vast and incomprehensible than I imagined. It has been a humbling experience. The biggest thing I have learned, is that the word "angel" does not always mean the same thing. I had thought my kind were a universal constant.

And so, I find myself compelled to ask about angels. What do you think of, when you hear that word? Does it even mean anything to you?

The gods had died, you see. Or passed on to some greater form that beings like you and I cannot comprehend, but they had no more need of their physical bodies anymore, at the very least.

Throne remained still for...I'm not sure. A very long time, in any case. Until the firmament was breached by a mortal man. Zoss, the Conquering King, broke into Throne, hoping to speak with the creator only to find that his creator was long dead. So he did battle with me and my brothers and...I am embarrassed to admit he won. Zoss was an extremely powerful man.

After he breached the way, others from other worlds started following in his footsteps, and these mortals who claimed the power of gods became known as the Demiurges. But the Demiurges allowed us to return, still serving the new law, and for a while it was good.
