Introduction: A Requiem To Mercy

Word Count: 214

For centuries, we've been cursed to a sunless, darkened world; A world where nothing but chaos and death plague its citizens. Death that doesn't leave corpses six-feet beneath the ground, but rather destined to walk the cobblestone streets of a sickly village. Fear resides in those who remain vulnerable to the exertion of time. However, a small number of the vulnerable have grouped to commit genocide against my nightly children. Pathetic attempts made by the Hunters Guild have not gone unnoticed, and if they call for war, I will respond. The world was once such a lively place; now, no one has had the honor of avoiding the claws of death's hounds. We sought answers in science, technology, and the Aeons who've come to abandon this world and its inhabitants. And still, questions remain unanswered and corpses continue to look us in the eyes. I've found comfort in my children, comfort in the inevitable, and letting fate pull this world to its eventual demise. Nothing lasts forever, and it shouldn't. Eventually, all worlds will reach their blissful end, it's only a matter of when. I've accepted that ours will be soon. I will lay my people to rest, even if they despise me once the lights dim. After all, Ruthlessness is mercy upon itself.
