X: Are you recording this?
Y: Affirmative.
X: Forgive me for saying this, but The Council may be the wrongest group of people I've ever encountered. The mass believe them because they're old; wise. They hold more experience than us, supposedly. Whatever happened to the kings and queens?
Y: Time. They died out. Like human bodies are prone to doing.
X: What is the difference now?
Y: We have found the Light.
X: And in doing so, we have found the Dark as well. The Council does not embrace it. In their eyes, the Light shines over all. Sees all. Inhabits all. Is all. They don't see that where there is Light, there is also Darkness.
Y: As in right is to wrong?
X: Precisely. You don't have 'yes' without 'no'. Yin and no Yang. Left without Right. Life without...
Y:...Should I still be recording?
X: *coughs* Uh, im sorry, yes, continue. So the artifact we found, how long ago does its creation date back to?
Y: Before Earth.
X: Before Earth?
Y: Before Creation.
X: This is the kind of stuff The Council doesn't tell you. So how long until they find us?
Y: Approximately four days and seven hours... five minutes, twenty six seconds... twenty five... twenty four... twenty-
X: Okay okay, I get it. Mmm.... I miss the days when I was younger. I would lay in the field and look up at the sky, wondering what kind of things lay outside our grasp. The things we could only dream about. The Heavens we could only dream about. Then... the Hell that was our nightmares...
Y: The Darkness is creeping in.
X: It does that sometimes.
Y: The hallucinations last significantly longer than the rest of them affecting by it.
X: I have stopped fighting them. I've embraced the Darkness. It hugs me, keeps me safe. They think its embrace is cold and dangerous. They don't feel like I do. It is impossible to feel the way the Darkness pulls on your heart, invades your mind, nestles itself in your soul... Is that a deer in the corner?
