Synopsis
When Ruth learned that gods were real and their world was segregating in an era defining war that history repeated every so often. She didn’t believe it. Then she did but she didn’t care. Then she realised her dreams were so weird she might end up caring after all. It sucked to get involved. Because she knew herself. Her power lust was not something to be fed, alas gods like making decisions unilaterally, especially if it fulfils their endless unique arbitrary qualifications. Perhaps it’s unconscious ennui... They are divided and so they divide us. We are all biased, so we pick sides. But people, alone or in groups, are never truly black and white. And even though it’s out there, most forget the old adage, the road to hell is paved with good intentions... Power makes you think you can change the world, let good reign. But how often does a power stop to think? What happens when a foot soldier disagrees?

Chapter 1 - It’s just a dream

It's always something ridiculous when I've had a rather uneventful day...

Like my brain knows I'm bored and generates the most convoluted scenarios it can.

It was simply another one of those days...Nights?

Tch

Night.

That's what started this I suppose.

Literally.

Not that I knew that back then.

I'd heard all sorts of stories of course but stories were a regular part of my life at this point.

What had started as an awe filled obsession to visit places that did not exist had gradually turned into a fond hobby to indulge in when there was too much free time and no one to keep me company.

I was drifting farther away from these imagined worlds.

Perhaps this was what happened to children as they turned into adults.

Or maybe I was finally learning to appreciate the simplicity of my easy life.

Funny then, how unfortunately funny for that stage of me coming into my own as a blissfully ordinary person with so much to be grateful for and learning to appreciate the value of worldly anonymity with precious few satisfying my need to be acknowledged... to be callously taken away from me.

I'm ashamed to admit I knew subconsciously it had at least a little to do with my greed.

Ambitions.

Great grand revolutionary ambitions that I had matured enough to figure out as a hindrance to a content life.

Then I experienced temptation, proceeded to naively win over it and got taught the value of choice.

Something that rarely ever gets recognised for its importance until it's taken away.

My story took a fantastical twist just when I'd forsworn it.

Don't get me started on the irony, can't grow a damn rose without thorns.
