Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: Fossilised heart of The Philosopher.

Today's relic is quite the treat, it was put on display in a museum of great arts in the dimension it had belonged to. It was the fossilised heart of a great philosopher that allowed a new era to begin. His name was written off in the records of history, remembered only by those who have died. This philosopher was one which questioned the world, he questioned why mortals exist and where do they go next. This curiosity was unheard of in this world, due to the fact that the world has been put under a great curse, which brainwashes and controls most of humanity, created by those who believed they were at the top and could have everything they ever wanted.

This philosopher was truly the first-ever in existence and as such, could the eye of a God. The God of truth and justice, Thesis. This God was not known for favouring anyone mortal, as such, it was a surprise that this philosopher was given her blessing. The God gave him a heart of gold and stone, it was said to forever beat and possess the necessary wisdom this philosopher needed to save those under this great curse and bring those responsible to justice.

He was essentially given immortality and great wisdom and instead of being corrupted by this great power bestowed to him, he still carried his mission on, despite already knowing that he could be at the top of the world. This great philosopher, spread his word, words that overcame this great curse, it allowed mortals to awake and it was then, personalities were discovered, preferences were made, opinions were created. Souls began to differentiate from each other and it was quite beautiful to see all this unfold.

When finally, he was at the last leg of his journey, where all this great philosopher needed to do was cast judgement on those who created this plight. Great gods had their eyes on this final scene, due to how much of a turnaround one man has done to this world that was thought to be a lost cause to many Gods. Whilst confronting the group at the highest peak of the world, just below the mouth of a volcano, the group tried to run away, casting a spell that made the volcano erupt. He threw all he had away, his wisdom and immortality, holding on to the people that attempt to escape, burning alive, with a smile on his face. Along with culprits of this apocalyptic world.

That's how this heart was discovered. Everything else on this man melted away, including the gold that represented the wisdom within. Leaving the husk of stone, which represented immortality. In this world, the stone heart represented indomitable spirit, never to let go of the faith you have cast on yourself and never fall prey to the world and its influences.

Quite the touching tale you have to admit, a true hero that I respect and have my blessing for in the afterlife.
