Maduin. Zero. Me.
When I first met Robert, he called me Disciple. A disciple is a student, someone who learns and carries on teachings.
I am a Sage now. I have learned. And I'll keep learning as much as I can, to help all of you out there suffering from Its reach. Don't be afraid. We're here for you. Maduin and Zero and I.
There has to be a Warrior out there. A Warrior and a Hero. Not Zeke; he's the Mystic, and that title will remain his for as long as he stands against It. I want to say that maybe Evan is a Warrior, for his bravery in attacking It with a baseball bat. It's that kind of spirit... I admire those who spit in the face of doom and pummel it.
I'll keep looking. And if any of you can read this, can lend your aid, please say so. It's only together that we can overcome.
Let's make Robert and the others proud, shall we?
my question is, do you think the people we are seeking, have blogs up or are simply commenting? I'd like to think that they're in some way connected to the events already, but even that's uncertain so far.
ReplyDeleteIt might be a case of both. I know I've seen one or two people whose names come up as blanks when I check them.
ReplyDeleteEven if they're not the ones we're looking for, they still need us. And who knows? Maybe the Hero's already arrived and we just haven't noticed yet.
It's too early to rule anything out.
Follow (Guide)
ReplyDeleteSo you're still out there Shaun? That's good to know. Let us know what you've been doing, if you would.
ReplyDelete@Zero: Who says the (Hero) has to have already encountered the /Beast/? I doubt it matters if they have a blog.
ReplyDeleteWho am I? Just a friend. Sometimes. Maybe.
What matters is that we want to help as well as receive help. We humans have a talent for organizing. Let's make use of that.
See, in the past, before all these blogs sprang up, victims were taken without anyone else being aware of it. Nowadays it takes longer than a few weeks to disappear, (I theorize) because they have the support of this community. There is definitely strength in numbers and communication.
...What does "Follow (Guide)" mean?
Nessa, you raise valid points indeed, some of the very hallmarks of what I've been saying in my blog. I believe also though that community, or rather the dark side of it, is what helped spawn him.
ReplyDeleteUnprecedented access to people lead to unguarded, unstructured will, and it happened to summon/create/manifest our own fears and misgivings.
At least, that's my belief.
Follow Guide means, listen to Shaun. He knows the way better than any of us do.
btw, Amelia zer0mbr@yahoo.com get in touch with me, if you would.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you, Amelia(Sage). You have my undying support in this trying time.
ReplyDeletePeace out,
Shaun.
Amelia.
ReplyDeleteYou give me hope that we may weaken him, even if I'm not dealing with him. But rather a different /Construct/.
May you slay the man of the tailor.
I sent the three of you a response email. Let me knwo what you think as soo nas you can. I know how it can be to respond to emails in our line of work.
ReplyDeletePeace,
Shaun.
I see.
ReplyDeleteYour interference will be to his disadvantage in the long-term, and, for that, I am contemptuous, but I must admit that I am even more impressed by yourself than by Robert. As difficult as it is for a lion to shed its skin, it is more difficult for a mouse to take it up in its place.
For that, I offer my respect.
Nonetheless, you are an obstacle and must be overcome. He has seen fit to have me observe you and the others, for now. Pray that that is all he has me do.

ReplyDeleteWe have to believe that the community is going to be a better thing than Runners going around alone and scared, otherwise we get people like Nightcrawler taking the exact wrong approach. I hope it isn't true. If his power increases with the number of people who know about him, we'll never amass a force strong enough to defeat him. He'll be as untouchable as the vertical asymptote of a hyperbola.
ReplyDeleteNo, together we are strong. It must be. While we may have called him into existence, he has a will of his own. Now, the wrong kind of people may help to strengthen him, but that's consciously. We certainly never strive to do anything of the sort.
