Chapter 2 - Random Midas Scene: One

Random Midas Scene: One

The hypocrisy of humanity lingered like an unseen spectre in his contemplation. A sardonic smile graced his lips as he pondered the paradoxical nature of their actions. Humans condemned demons for their predation, yet they themselves preyed upon creatures of lower power without a second thought. The cycle of life, brutal and relentless, seemed woven into the very fabric of existence, transcending the distinctions that humans so desperately clung to.

As his fingers idly traced patterns in the soft earth beneath him, Midas mused on the boundless intricacies of the world. Demons, driven by their primal desires, were simply following the call of their nature, as were humans. It was a symphony of hunger and survival, a symphony in which both species danced to their own discordant tunes.

In the stillness of the forest, Midas found a semblance of peace, an escape from the eternal struggle for dominance. The rustling leaves and distant chirping of birds blended harmoniously with his thoughts. He marvelled at the perpetual ebb and flow of life, the intricate tapestry woven from the threads of existence. The lines between good and evil blurred, replaced by a stark realisation of the shared journey undertaken by demons and humans alike. In the heart of the forest, he found solace in the delicate balance of existence, a silent observer in the grand theatre of life.
