And it ' s dumb that that ' s the only way to get stuff through . Ya I know they can ' t sit in our party ' s or watch every big streamers stream but we have to voice our opinion in mass spamming , kind of makes the bungie forums cringe worthy , annoying , and immature <| sep |> Yeah , it ' s called not fucking supporting and feeding into bad business practices . <| sep |> I can get you the Sugar and Flour for your sloppy sofa and sloppy tv ? <| sep |> That was hell of a shart . <| sep |> I don ' t think racism caused this . I responding to someone who said that the right to kick people off your property unmolested is absolute . There are a few narrow exceptions to that including racial discrimination . <| sep |> Of all the places in this ruined city this place hurts me the most . I remember the days when it was filled with light and laughter . However I do not sit on these stairs in this decrepit building to write about a city you will never see , children . Instead I write this to come clean about my folly . I have raised all of you in this heap of rumble and I feel that I have done the best I could . You all know the story of The Fall and how the world came to ruin , and I have taught you what I can so that you may protect yourselves . That being said while I have always done my best to never keep anything from you , not even the horrors that children as young as you should never have to hear . I have done this because I want you to know the skills I have taught you can be great and wonderful things , such as build a city made of pure beautiful light . They can just as easily be used to snuff out that light . However I have not been completely honest with you . I have left out important parts of The Fall that were too hard for me to tell you , but it is now time . As you know the Arch Mages ruled this city with a wise and benevolent hand . They grew fields of crops and had music flowing through the city like water . One of the Arch Mages was so proud of his city that he wished to crown the city with a jewel as beautiful as the city itself so he began to search to find the HeartStone , and ancient jewel that shined with the power of a thousand stars . For a time the city rejoiced many believed that in finding the HeartStone he had began a new age of prosperity . Many of the young mages begged to be his students and so he began a school were he could teach his skills to the next generation . After some time many of the other Arch Mages would come to him for counsel and he would graciously help them . They even began calling him the Magnificent One . Eventually he was so popular he was Elected the very first leader of the Arch Mage council . This was largely a guiding role and he even gave up his right to vote on the council when he was elected saying if he was being given the power to lead he should not have the power to decide , that others should look to him only for guidance . For many years the city prospered until one day the Mage passed away peacefully in his sleep . What I have told you happened next is that two of the Arch Mages , both graduates of the Magnificent One ' s school . They were the star pupils , in fact as you know they were the Magnificent One ' s children , brothers . But they began to fight over the position of the next Council leader . That it their fight factions formed and fought tearing our once great city to rumble . However what I didn ' t tell you , couldn ' t tell you until now was that initially the younger brother abdicated allowing his brother to assume leadership . What the younger brother could have never foreseen was that the other Arch Mages would whisper in the newly made leaders ear speaking corruption . That the elder brother would be consumed by darkness and begin snuffing out the lights of the city starting by shattering the HeartStone and making a cloak studded with the shards so that he could be cloaked in its light instead of the city . The younger brother could have never guessed he would have to lead a rebellion against his brother that would tear the city , the both once loved so much , down the rumble . He could have never predicted that would have to bury his brother in a ruined cathedral draped in that wretched cloak of a thousand stars . I write this now so that you know that while I was raising and protecting you , I was also protecting something else . Something powerful that I had hoped would remained buried . I know I leave you in a destroyed world with only the small amount I have been able to teach you , I must ask one last thing of you . They have taken it and I ask that you retrieve it for me , for all who wish to live free from tyranny . Please do not let them use my brothers cloak . I have been a long time reader but this is my first writing ever . So there is probably a lot of grammatical errors but hopefully at least someone enjoys the story . Backlash 404
