“The seas were blue, and our lands were fertile. A paradise we called home—until the miasma came. It grew within us and spread among us, killing us all, inside and out. We tried everything we could to overcome this pandemic, but why live on… when there’s nothing left except despair?”

“We thought all hopes were lost. We waited for Death’s sweet embrace to end our suffering once and for all. One day, a light suddenly appeared before us, showing us a way to salvation. Except there was nothing left to save… only a world rotting away in dead silence.”

“Beyond the light, lay yet another world on the brink of destruction. A place where ‘peace’ ruled above all else—in exchange for freedom. That wasn’t peace, but total oppression. So we rose up and fought: rights versus ideals, men against machines… Our home was set ablaze, its red-hot trails dividing our lands into charred remnants beyond recognition. Where was the world we had sworn to protect?”

“The war waged on, and on… and on. Where was the peace, when the Keepers of Peace turned on us? There was naught but the reality crumbling around us. Where was the freedom, when nothing was left but ashes and fire? It was too late when we finally found our answer… with our last dying breath.”

“We sought an ideal world—a utopia of eternal happiness. We shed our sorrow and anger, so that we could feel joy forever… but the hollowness in our hearts grew bigger and bigger, until the gaping hole was filled with despair. Then we realized: our paradise was no more. We did not attain the Heaven we seek; instead, we had created Hell.”

**“**We marched to the altar and cried our final plea to the heavens: bring salvation to us all. Free us from this walking death. We offer our lives to end this world… so that no one will suffer anymore. Undo our sinful creations and return the land to where it begins.
Have mercy on us, Ra-la.”
