Folly of Man

3 min read

Humanity has mastered the art of self destruction, I wonder when was it that we forgot how the world is precariously balanced and why it was that way.

The bones of our society quiver under the false laws they've made, forgetting they were only playing at god.

They sew their souls to their bodies with threads from their bible of fear, and smile while they drown themselves in the coagulation of society.

Babes born already tired of this world of worn down and faded chaos, the parking lot slowly fills with water and the people you see down there aren't drowning they have just stopped swimming. Faces float to the surface.

We changed our world to reflect what we want to be, but animals will still fear the cages they built themselves.

Humans shoving our filthy hands into frothing mouths to jerk off our tongues, spilling words of intolerance.

Mankind scavenging the carcass of the world as the wild animals that we no longer deserve to call ourselves.


The Earth cups her swollen gut, born of the putrescence of man,

the old gods no longer need to make demands of sacrifice, for we slaughter ourselves at their feet.

Mother oak, once adorned in bells and strings of red drinks the blood that is soaking into the ground.

But we are creatures of mirth and madness, driven by desire and fear we will puke our guts of gluttony just to make room for more.

We reach into the ground, having taken all that we could steal from each other, our hands are wet and slick, faces messy, elbow deep in her chest cavity.

Beasts gorging ourselves as we greedily drink her blood with lapping tongues and wild eyes, smearing mud across our mouths, the clay is red for a reason.

We crawl in and hide things inside her, where we think they won't be found and wipe our vicious palms on someone else's skin.

But even as you deny your involvement there are stains upon you and they know what you did, they were watching.


I curl up and watch the oil in my stomach crawling up my throat, silencing me, a child of want and distant yearning weeping into the indifference of the universe.

The stars will look down at us in passive watchfulness, eyes nihilistic and cold, they do not understand our fear of death, for they died long ago.

I will go and sit with them up there and turn my eyes away from my own existence, to sigh unperturbed into the abyss, I am so very tired of watching all of this.

Mankind is so proud, congratulating each other on the invisible boxes we set in place to quantify that which we know nothing of.

We think ourselves to great, that our might and madness is too vast and untamed that we quell in fear at our own feet to beg forgiveness.

But even as our cacophony of existence causes our eardrums to burst and bleed in it's inescapable deafening roar, in the vastness of the sky all is silent, not a whisper escapes the wall of our atmosphere.

For all our boasts and rage wrought from the need for recognition, the stars will pay no mind, they do not care, they cannot hear us.

Been really busy with school, I'm still working on things, but it may take a bit to get everything up.
I'll be reorganizing my folders, so stuff will be a bit messy, so sorry, just hold tight for a bit.

Rise with me, your armor assume,

And we will all the fury consume,

That ditches and stones, drills, and shields,

Swords, or heavy breathing does yield.


And we will storm across the moat,

Watching water boil where dead float,

By swords end they heavily fall,

To answer the Valkyries call.


Blood colours the fields as roses,

Warriors rise in bold poses,

With cloaks of gold and eyes of black,

Raging against the hearts they lack.


They woo maidens in gowns of silk,

With sweetest words and their soft ilk,

But while their words do taste of gold,

The beds in which they lie are cold.


Then in the halls of light we feast,

And do roar as triumphant beasts,

Where in the heat of battle fire,

Cleanse the black hearts in which we mire.


Yet at the end, in fields of dead

Do I kneel with heavy a head,

For t’was I who called you amiss,

Now your cold lips, I gently kiss.

1. Road trip time! Start by choosing five of your original characters to traverse the country together:

[1] Saga
[2] Evien
[3] Ziveraa
[4] Daithi
[5] Zoolo

* Zoolo & Ziv belong to me, others are ArcticLights

2. Al-right, your group starts by travelling together in a small car * lol, nope,shitty rental minivan.* Evien is driving, and Zoolo is giving him directions. Do they work well together, or does your group end up adding on extra travel time backtracking? Are any of the other three acting like annoying back-seat drivers? 
  •  The windows stay open, while Zoolo and Evien fight over the music.
  • Zoolo keeps burning out Eviens cigars

3. First stop! Your group decides to stop at a hotel for the night, but they can only afford two rooms with one queen-sized bed in each room. Who sleeps where, and are there any arguments over it?
  • Zoolo sighs, glares and sleeps outside in Draygon form.
  • Saga & Daithi mutually agree to take one room, leaving Ziveraa and Evien fighting over the other bed all night.

4. Saga has a nightmare in the middle of the night, and now they can't sleep. What do they do about it?
  • Sits outside drinking vodka from the mini-bar.

5. Next day of driving! Your group ends up sightseeing at a canyon, but Ziveraa and Daithi get bored fast. Ziv tries to take the car keys from Evien, but is caught. What happens next? Does Ziv try to blame Daithi?
  • Hah, no, Ziv & Evien get into a roasting match (obscene gestures included) And Daithi just slips quietly away.

6. Your group is finally on the road again, but Zoolo has a headache and can't read the map any-more. Who volunteers to take their place and why? Does the new navigator work well with Evien?
  • Zoolo goes to sleep in the trunk *Guys, why do we have confetti and a shot-gun back here?*
  • Saga and Ziv stare at Daithi until he goes to do it.

7. Next hotel is at a casino and bar! Daithi ends up completely wasted; who has to carry/drag them back to the room? Does Daithi do anything silly or flirtatious while drunk to their helper?
  • Well, Saga and Evien are busy winning a boat race,
  • And Ziv is starting bar fights.
  • So Zoolo, the only sober one, takes Daithi(who is attempting discover the true meaning of the universe and the color Burgundy) Throws him over a shoulder, while threatening to disembowel him if he pukes on his shirt.

8. While those two are preoccupied, Saga ends up winning the lottery! What do they decide to do about their new-found fortune?
  • Machine guns, daggers, knives and everything nice.

9. Onto the next day of travel. The group has to decide between two separate routes of seeing an famous apple orchard or visiting an amusement park. Who wants what, and how do they make a final decision?
  • Saga and Evien only want to go to the theme park to drink and steal candy from babies.
  • Zoolo and Daithi want to go to the Orchard. Ziv wants food.
  • Al-right guys, saga, gun, lets play Russian Roulette.

10. While journeying onto their location, things get heated in the car and now Evien  has pulled over to try to settle things. Unfortunately, He and Zoolo are now in an intense argument and it looks like a fistfight is inevitable! Who wins and how does the rest of the group handle it?
  • Ooohhhh, dis gonna be good, who's got the popcorn?
  • Sorry Evien, Martial arts and sarcasm beat boxing and swearing, lets hope you can still see straight after this...

11. After that little scuffle is finally settled, it's decided that Saga should drive. Now that she's the navigator,  Daithi now takes his old job. Whoever is left over is now seated between Evien and Zoolo in the back-seat. How are things going with the three of them?
  • *Ziv- " Al-right boys, I don't have time for you shit, so you better sit down and be quite or I'll cut off your balls and make them into maracas."

12. Their next location involves stopping at Ziveraas relatives house for the night. How does She feel about this situation?
  • Okay guys first don't look Grandma in the eye, don't go in the freezer, that's where she keeps the eyeballs,and probably put a salt circle around your door... 

13. The next morning, Zoolo walks in to find Saga and Evien sleeping in the same bed! What is their excuse?
  • *Evien- " we spend the night drinking and passed out on the bed..."
  • *Zoolo- " Don't care, where's the orange juice? "

14. The group sets out to leave again, but can't seem to find the keys. Eventually they find that Zoolo has the keys. Why?
  • He's been using them to pick the locks in the house.

15. It's not long before there's another argument in the car. While the group is arguing, they accidentally swerve and crash! Saga is now badly injured. How does Daithi react to being assigned to take care of them? Do they prove to be good caretakers?
  • Daithi does fine, through a bit nervously.
  • Zoolo rolls up his sleeves and stars working on the van.
  • Ziv and Evien are now arguing about who's fault it was that crashed the car...

16. With no other option, the group is forced to walk the rest of the way into town, and it's just beginning to rain. There are only two umbrellas; who uses which?
  • Zoolo's pissed because the engine is tottaly busted so he can't fix it, and stomps off ahead like an angry drowned cat.
  • Saga and Daithi take one.
  • Evien takes the last umbrella and holds it out of Zivs reach, she kicks him in the nuts.

17. Your group reaches the next town, and lucky them, it's their final destination! Who is most glad to finally have arrived, and why?
  • Ziv and Evien are still fighting over the umbrella.
  • Daithi is relived, Saga's grumpy and wants vodka.
  • Zoolo strips and dries off at the hotel room.

18. Were any new relationships formed between characters during this hectic road trip? Describe them.
  • Daithi is now reasonably scared of both Saga and Ziv.
  • Evien and Ziveraa now hate but respect each other in a rather comedic fashion.
  • Zoolo's so done with this shit.

19. Now's your chance to tag somebody (if you'd like)! Thank you very much for playing, and I hope you enjoyed! :D (Big Grin)

Muhahahahaha! Sacrifices!
