Scene: Damon and Gunther are back outside walking away from the building.
Damon: Clutching his chest seeming upset They treat them like animals on display… Despicable… I want to help them, but…
Gunther: Hugs Damon In time. Don't forget that karma is the real hand at play here. We cannot intervene in the ways of mortals more than our roles allow.
Damon: Hugs Gunther back and calming down a bit I know… but I remember when Canat wasn't this way… It was so beautiful with such a diversity of creatures. Smiles sadly remembering It was one of my favorite planets we created.
Gunther: Lets Damon go and looks him in the eyes This is the society the people's free will has created. Remember we made this planet for them, it was theirs to do whatever they wanted with.
Damon: Looks upset No, that's not true. We made this planet for all the species we created for it. However, all those other species and races were killed off by the Tawpup race. Must we then judge the planet by the oppressors or by the people who were oppressed? Even if the other races are gone, that doesn't mean they were as equally corrupt, nor does it mean we should treat them as if they were just because they were killed off in the name of power and greed. Looking angry My Aderyst race were still good people, they were peaceful and inclined towards morality and religion. Yes, they too should be considered within the judgment as it was their peaceful nature that allowed them to be killed off and nothing more.
Gunther: Thinking about it I suppose that is something else to consider.
Damon: This brings me to what I wanted to ask of you.
Gunther: Oh?
Damon: I want you to attempt to establish a religion in Digonu.
Gunther: Looks skeptical I am doubtful there would be any interest in a religion, or that King Hallow would allow me to establish one at all.
Damon: Whatever happens, it's all right. I just want to see what the response is towards it. Compassion, morality, self control… Looks towards the sky in a nostalgic way The one unifying source of all things, unconditional love, everlasting eternal bliss in unity with the beloved- Stops himself as he gets lost in devotion thinking about it and coughs a bit to refocus himself If there are still those within Digonu who are interested in pursuing the qualities of the soul then there is still a spark of hope amongst them.
Gunther: Thinks about it ...Yes... all right, I'll do it.
Damon: Looks past Gunther and sees someone coming then smiles awkwardly at Gunther I’ll make you something nice to eat at home to make up for this~ Disappears
Gunther: Looks surprised What? Looks behind him and sees soldiers coming and looks annoyed Oh hell…
Scene: Gunther is roughly dragged before King Hallow by the soldiers.
Gunther: Looking pissed off and mumbles Making dinner for my future self definitely doesn’t make up for this you snake.
Action: Arnwolf comes hurriedly walking in after Gunther and looks very concerned.
Arnwolf: Looking even more panicked upon seeing Gunther and says in a whisper to himself Gunther!
Hallow: Smiles meanly Good, everyone is here. Turns to Arnwolf This boy is your younger brother, is he not?
Arnwolf: Looking hesitant Yes...my brother… Has he done something wrong?
Hallow: Walks towards Gunther During the blackout he was on the west line 3347, one of the sensors on the door suddenly disappeared and he and his twin brother Elias exited the train. A government drone went to investigate the movement and followed the two boys to an anti government vigilante hideout, where the vigilante group… Giving Gunther an angry look mysteriously turned to dust...minus one. Looks at Arnwolf One was killed by his own bullets that your brother deflected back at him.
Arnwolf: Makes a disturbed face, but tries to play it off That’s good though, isn’t it? He was helping our military to do their job, and showing his support towards you, King Hallow.
Hallow: Glares at Arnwolf then turns to Gunther Yes… except after that he blew up the drone that was following them, destroying an expensive piece of government property.
Arnwolf: Laughs nervously Sir, he’s just a boy, of course he didn’t like being followed so closely, and he probably didn’t understand what it was.
Hallow: Youth is no excuse for such a criminal act... but even more so, after destroying the drone we then heard reports of him being seen in the brothel district with a purple skinned man.
Arnwolf: Looking shocked by that and whispers The alien wizard...
Hallow: Says angrily What were you doing with Damon?
Arnwolf: Sounding surprised You know Damon?
Hallow: Looks at Arnwolf angrily He’s met with me a few times, yes. He tries to play both sides, being friends with Kintenoken and Digonu… but he hides his real agenda. If he didn’t meet with me while in Digonu then what is he scheming behind my back? Looks surprised How do you know Damon?
Arnwolf: Looks nervous I met him while I was staying in Kintenoken, and he’d come to talk with Queen Kitia.
Hallow: What did he say to you?
Arnwolf: Nothing, I mean we spoke but we only exchanged formalities, nothing more than that.
Gunther: Smirks at that then rips the soldiers off of him You’ve passed my test, father.
Action: The soldiers go to grab Gunther again but they turn to black dust. King Hallow looks deeply afraid of that and more soldiers go to grab Gunther but Hallow stops them.
Hallow: Holding his hand out to stop the soldiers from moving any closer STOP! Just...leave him be. Asks fearfully Who are you?
Gunther: Says in a frightening tone I am Purusha, the destructive force of Maha Deva Vijaya. I have taken birth on this planet, in this form, to assist Nityasya with the judgment.
Hallow: Looking both scared and angry Have you come to kill me?
Gunther: Not unless you provoke me to. I have no interest in meddling in this filth of a society you’ve created, but if you put your hand near my stinger you will get stung.
Hallow: Stepping back Where is Nityasya? Is he your twin brother?
Gunther: Elias is my uncle, not my brother. My father is that man next to you, Arnwolf. He has only pretended to be my brother to help hide the nature of who I am, and the mysteries of my birth. I will say no more than that, but know that if you do anything to harm him I will remove you from this world the same as I have these soldiers.
Hallow: U-understood…
Gunther: As for Nityasya, he is not currently on this planet. You still have time to change your ways and better your chances in the judgment.
Hallow: How exactly does the judgment work?
Gunther: When a planet has reached a point of not evolving anymore, or complete deterioration, then Nityasya and I take birth to decide if it should be allowed to continue to exist at all. Smirks at Hallow Think of it like removing clutter in space. Looking thoughtful again A planet’s purpose is to be a backdrop to the lives of the creatures who live on it, that it helps their souls to progress and evolve. As you and your ancestors have gotten rid of all species not your own, then what good is this planet really towards that cause? When undoubtedly even the Tawpups will kill themselves off with their ways. All that will be left is a dead planet floating in space.
Hallow: Is there any hope for salvation?
Gunther: Nityasya is particularly keen on this planet because he remembers how beautiful it was when he first created it, therefore, that leads me to believe he will be lenient in his judgment. Smirks at Hallow Although, he has no love for you or your ways, and what does it matter to you what happens to this planet if you’re no longer on it? If you’re seeking salvation for yourself then you should focus on changing your ways now while you still can. Laughs a bit and looks away Although, it is by far better to seek salvation by saving your soul, in doing that you would save both yourself in the long lasting as well as this planet in the now.
Hallow: Looking confused I don’t understand… Shakes his head Is only Nityasya making the judgment? What’s your part in all of this?
Gunther: Nityasya is the heart of Maha Deva Vijaya, he is evaluating what to do based on his observations, interactions, and taking into account all aspects of the planet and its people. I am impartial to what happens, thus I am merely assisting him in the judgment.
Hallow: Mumbling to himself So Nityasya then is the one we should fear most?
Gunther: Laughs dryly Fear yourselves, for it is your actions that will dictate his and mine.
Hallow: What is it you want from us?
Gunther: Thinks about it then walks up to Hallow I wish for my uncle and I to be exempt from your arbitrary system of being forced into the military tomorrow, and that we be allowed to establish a religion within Digonu instead.
Hallow: Looking confused A religion? Why? To encourage people to worship you and Nityasya as Maha Deva Vijaya?
Gunther: Says coldly FOOL! To attempt to establish a semblance of truth within this vile existence, an understanding of the nature of creation in its oneness! That we do not exist as a separation of the divine self, but as an extension of the divine self! That the path of righteousness is paved by compassion, and that unconditional love is the nature of all things; underneath this blanket of mud called delusion!
Hallow: Looking unnerved by that All right, fine, do whatever you want! Just so long as you don’t use it against the government.
Gunther: As if I care about your trivial mortal matters enough to become personally involved, this is for a higher cause than that. But, you must permit anyone who wishes to join to be able to join, no matter what their age or gender is.
Hallow: Glares at Gunther … All right… But they must go through a process, so that people aren’t just using it as a way to escape the system.
Gunther: Better you not make an oppressive system that people wish to escape. What good is a government that does not serve the people it was created for, but instead makes it’s people it’s slave? Vile.
Arnwolf: Perks up at that since he remembers thinking it as well …
Gunther: Turns to leave Do whatever you like, King Hallow, but know that your actions in the next few years will inevitably decide your fate, and the fate of the world. I suggest you make wiser decisions than you have in the past.
