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?

But mortal beings are known for their strong power of desire. The peace did not last. Eventually the Demiurges turned on each other and made war. A mad war, where mortals used the power of gods as they might an sharpened rock and bashed each other's skulls in, devouring each other's power like wild dogs.

In the end, seven Demiurges remained. They made a pact. It isn't peace, but it is a balance, of sorts. And so the seven Demiurges became the seven gods of the new world. Each one the ruler of 111,111 worlds.

They focus all their energy on watching each other, and so the dream of peace is a long forgotten one as great criminal syndicates have largely taken over the day to day ruling of Throne and grown rich and fat on the ruins of the gods while scampering to avoid the notice of the Seven.

Me and my brothers have done what we can to preserve the law and protect the innocent, but we are few in number and cannot be everywhere. Many of us have started to question whether mortal kind is worthy of our protection, or if we should seek to bring about the end and wait for a new world.
