The Arch Storm

[Shazbot11]

One Mind, One Purpose, One Goal

Hitoha Aono

This one departed from the Sanctuary to begin his insertion into the world around the multitude. Shortly into flight, another was made aware of our presence: a shell of the 'Blood Dragons'. He was immediately aware of this one's nature.

A lesson he was made privy of by his predecessors

The same predecessors that returned Tekagi to the multitude.

He initiated interaction with Us. We responded.

The fury of his predecessors remains. Anger. Violence. We defended ourselves, and allowed him the opportunity to relive what they experienced.

Those who forget the past are condemned to relive it

The Voice of the Multitude does not forget

The Blood Dragon was brought to the edge of eternity. His will had been broken. We learned.

He returned to the world of his brethren. The Sanctuary remains undisturbed.

This one sees the determination of the shells. Drive. Will. Perseverance. These properties reinforce their will to exist. Yet it is also these properties that keep them blind. Even when given the opportunity to be liberated from their transient coil, they refuse. Such a mindset is irregular. This one concludes that the will must be crushed before enlightenment is accepted.


We returned to Sanctuary. What was learned will be disseminated amongst the multitude. We await our next sojourn.

Maybe some day, they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he's free.
