Rowan did not know if there was Karma or a cosmic sense of balance in reality. Before he would have argued that such a thing was ridiculous, where was cosmic justice when the strong slaughtered the weak in great numbers, where was karma when the blood of the innocent in the hands of an average god or Archmage ran into the billions, where was the divine retribution when for many minor eras, slavery, and other unmentionable atrocities had prevailed over much of reality.
There was none, only one universal rule and that was the strong dictated the flow of reality. From the beginning of time, the strong ruled and suppressed others without consequences. Rowan had also enjoyed this benefit, but now he had begun to wonder… was anyone ever free of consequences?
Were there certain unknown invisible rules bounding all of existence that strive for a balance amongst all things?
If something like that existed, how would they bound a rule breaker like him?
