Title: Advocates of Balance
Author: Cathal
There was a time when
some of us were truly
eternal, tied to the
Great Forest, infinite in
its beauty and majesty.
We are only shadows of
that now. Our Forest is
ancient ash.
There was a time when all Meer were united in our vengeance against those responsible. Together, we cast a great inferno to destroy our enemies and restore balance to the world. Our just hand was stopped by the foul voice that led the Juka. What must be done had been done, only to have never been.
All but one of us went to sleep with dreams of a great reckoning against the Juka. Our dreams were betrayed by the waking world and the sleepless sentinel Adranath. Adranath grew sentimental and weak in the millennia that passed. When the Juka returned in time, he had abandoned a plan of mutual destruction in favor of a united war between the Meer and the lesser creatures that had populated our lands. These humans and gargoyles were neither noble nor powerful.
Many of us chose not to
wake up to Adranath's
call. We would sleep and
wait for a day we knew
would come: the day of
our vengeance. We knew
one day that the Juka
people would face
disaster, and we could be
there to tip the scales
toward balance. We would
restore the only balance
available to us: the
complete destruction of
the Juka.
