"Ok, roughly, the definition of existentialism is the philosophical theory which emphasizes the existence of individuals as free and responsible people, who determine their own development through acts of will, correct?"
"Uh, yes t-that's correct"
"And an existentialist would be a person who believes in such theory, correct?"
"Yes," he nodded.
"So the question wouldn't be "How many existentialists does it take to screw in a light bulb"," I begin, "It would be whether they make the choice to change it at all. Would they change the bulb and live in the light, or simply allow the darkness to exist?"
Nothing should be eternal. Everything should end. Change was coming to a world caught between destructive dark and the merciless laws of the light. The rule of the servants of the Eternal Light was about to end. The truth of everything was finally beginning to emerge.
Three friends fought in different ways for a better world. They fought something greater than themselves. They fought to extinguish the lies of the light.
Their destruction was inevitable. But their actions should have brought an end to the lies that chain the world.
But nothing is that simple. This is not an enemy that can end. The truth was in the lies. They thought nothing was eternal.
But everything is Eternal.
