I am finally leaving. I had finally finished my training and am considered a fully fledged Master of the Mystic Arts.

I decided to leave the Sanctum and come back home. I will afcourse visit the the Sanctum whenever I can, but at this point its mostly self study now If I wish to seek more knowledge .


It's the first time in my life I have ever felt like I had power. I know I am far from the most powerful and that there are beings out there capable of squashing me in an instant, but nonetheless. I feel what I have is enough for now and for my plans to progress.

I am not helpless anymore. And my enemies should fear me. You might be wondering what enemies I am talking about.

Oh they are plenty, but they don't know it yet. The moment I sat foot in this universe their days where already numbered.

I have no problems with eliminating certain personal in the coming days. Because the way I see it I am in the middle of an undeclared war and there's no fucking around when it comes to war.

I don't particularly care about being called a hero or a villain . And I find these half hearted attempts at peace idiotic and naive at best.


One of the problems I have with Xavier's approach to things is he isn't decisive enough while his boyfriend Magneto on the other hand is too extreme and quite frankly messy.

Seriously has he never heard about subtlety ? Shaping public opinion through manipulation from the shadows ? Eliminating your enemies in secret ? Investigating violent hate groups and organizations interested in powered individuals especially those that kidnapp and experiment on children and young mutants ?

I hate to say it, but Hydra had it right. They took the saying 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer' quiet literally. They were able to infiltrate S. H. I. E. L. D for years their own mortal enemies without anyone none the wiser and their plans would have succeeded if it wasn't that they fucked it up at the finish line.

I mean all it took was for four individuals to ruin all their plans in like a half an hour. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at their level of incompetence and their brilliance in managing to get that far.

Even the name Mutant is a major flaw in Xavier's plan of integration and acceptance. The word Mutant comes with many negative connotations and mainly associated with Cancer or disease. People on a subconscious level associate the word Mutant with disease or cancer.

Which isn't a good thing strictly from a PR standpoint. I get trying to own the word and making it theirs, but honestly it's quite a shitty word to own.

It's all about how you present things. Public opinion is shaped by the media and frankly you're making it too easy for them. If you want people to accept something appeal to their sense of self interest not their humanity.

Mutants simply aren't worth the trouble they bring to many people. They are often viewed as unstable and volatile. That's why many shy away from them.

Add to that the shit storm that is Magneto and his brotherhood of idiots and you have got a good recipe for bigotry and discrimination.

Just look at how the Avengers or the Fantastic four are treated. They don't get hated on like Mutants do. Even though at the end of the day they are all super powered individuals. Either through magic, genes, serums or dimensional energy.

It's all about branding and public image. While covering your bases by having some legal representation. Being responsible and not causing collateral damage and casualties. An information network wouldn't hurt either.
