The Eternal War
The vile speaks
"You think you can defeat me?
I shall never be destroyed
If you send warriors
I shall rend them limb from limb
If you send wizards
I shall reflect their magics unto them
And watch as they writhe in the torment you meant for me
Neither your priests nor their prayers can prevail
Your god has no power over me
I am every lie
I am every vengeful thought
I am the temptation you cannot resist
You are doomed by your own humanity
And will forever be my slaves"
Humanity’s response
"We are free already
Saved by the very humanity you condemn
Our god provides more than you could ever offer
Seeking only justice we need no lies to reveal your evil
You may strike down the faithful
But to no avail, for they are already saved
Each wizard shall be reborn eternally throughout this age of war
Each warrior you destroy shall return amongst the angelic host
To oppose you more strongly from the next life than ever they could in this
Each act of destruction only serves to make us stronger
You will never win"
