Divinity |Percy Jackson|

Prologue

All humans are essentially chaotic, and its the truth.

After all we, humans, we are descendants from animals. We call ourselves evolved, but still that sense, that spirit of chaos resides within us.

Don't understand what I mean?

Imagine a situation. There are 4 people, each of them belonging to different nationality, different occupation, different language, and different manners. None of them knows each other. Everyone is perfectly healthy, young people with a sense of dignity and respect for themselves. Now, these 4 people are in an enclosed room, and they all know that 2 people among them is a killer, and have a hidden weapon.

There's a timer, and its been instructed by some random overseeing person that at exactly15 minutes from the start, the killers are going to kill everyone else.

Now, here's the twist.

Everyone in the room has a knife in their pocket.

Basically, there's not 2 people with a knife, but 4.

The timer keeps running. Sweat dribbles down the cheeks of those 4 people.

Guess what happens just before the timer strikes 15 minutes.

If indeed you manage to guess it, you don't deserve anything. Its common sense that that happens. (Yes, I am like that.)

If, you have not managed to guess it, then I would say that you just might still have some hope left. And for your sake, I won't disclose the answer here, to keep the thought out of your mind. However, trust me, when you fall in a real situation like that, that would be the only thought in your mind.

So yes. In desperate times, the chaos inside us shows up. We call ourselves humans, only because we can hide our true chaotic nature deep inside us.

So, who are the civilized and the uncivilized? People who hides the chaos better are the civilized, and the ones who let it out are the uncivilized. In all honesty, the uncivilized are more honest than the civilized, for they actually reveal their true characteristics, while the civilized put on a façade of being in control of their feelings, all while lying to others and mostly themselves.

So, what's the point of all these? A deep study into our chaotic nature probably is not what you were expecting in this whole book. Thankfully, it's not. However, Chaos is the main subject of this story. It is what destroyed us, built us, destroyed us again, and rebuilt us, and the cycle continued. All due to the greed and lust for power of those who were before us. 

This is the story about the Artifice of Chaos. 

Its a story of the Divines.

Pure is the rose, most innocent of those;
Beautiful is the rose, most hideous of all;'
