Human
When I lived, I could never die.
From the deep abyss to the heavens above, there was no realm I could not claim.
I shaped mountains into my image, I built spires to challenge the gods, and I subdued even the fiercest of beasts.
When I lived, everything was mine.
I bled the earth.
I despoiled her.
I told her that my gluttonous intrigues were sacrosanct.
I told her that I was divine.
She did not listen.
I could not cozen her.
When I lived, my hubris deceived me.
But that was when I lived, long before my decline.
