Thoughts on the Past and Future
20 Minas, 598 SN / 25 July, 2008 AD
As I sit here, writing this, my mind stays troubled.
I have taken the past few days off to try to sort through my thoughts on this matter, but they are proving difficult to set into order. Hopefully, putting them into a more permanent history will let me put them to rest, for now.
Some few days ago, a group of the Legendary, accompanied by Silicon Sabre of the Riot Force and (surprisingly) members of the Infamous, traveled back through time to a point in the history of this world that was at a point of crisis. Through trial, tribulation, and no small reservation on my part, we were able to defeat the man known as Romulus, in his bid for power. It was after this accomplishment that I overheard other heroes and villains going on a quest to perform the exact same achievement. Puzzled by this, I made a few inquiries and learned that due to several facts, some few of which was a villain from our time interfering, Romulus himself being an Incarnate, and the very vagrancies of History itself, Romulus was, and would still be, in the process of accomplishing his goals, while people from the present time attempted to halt his endeavors.
This only reinforced my own reasons for not traveling to Cimerora: It is not my own History that I am meddling in. I hope that if Terrence ever learns of my true reasons to avoid that time and place, he will forgive me. Cimerora, Ouroboros, these places are not of or for me, one not native to this universe, but in going to them, I have learned things I wish that I had never.
Romulus still plots in the ancient History of this world. Mender Silos despairs that any help will not change 'the coming storm'. Though I am so close to achieving my final goal, I cannot help but wonder, who am I to interfere with the ways of this world, Past and Future? I despair.
But soon enough, I will have completed my Song, and I can at last start on the quest that I have yearned for.
Addendum: After having asked around the Legendary and coalition, it seems that several of my comrades have taken down Romulus multiple times. This disturbs me as to why they themselves have not questioned his revival each time.
