Lucifel's Ideal World, v.2
—The world is ugly, he once declared.
Chaos is inevitable in this world. Pure good can’t be achieved, and pure evil breaks down. And these two extremes are always incompatible with each other. There is still some evil in a good world. That is how the world is, and it is what continues to create ugly things. Evil sneers at good, and good rages over evil. But, in a world where good and evil oppose each other, there is a group that is far more numerous that always appears.
That is ‘grey’. Neither good nor evil. A group that drifts through life haphazardly and merely exists. They don’t believe in goodness and are simply proud that they aren’t evil. Even though they affirm evil acts, they deny evil intentions. They happily say that ‘I am not evil, I am a good person’ and pardon all forms of cruelty.
They kill people while sneering. They kill people out of contempt. They kill people as part of a game. They use the excuse that they can’t restrain their desires—That’s how humans are. That’s how the world is.
Yes—this world is extremely ugly. Neither dyed by good nor fallen into evil. Unable to decide on a color, the wills of people continue to waver. As long as such evil intentions and such foul-smelling corpses aren’t destroyed.
The world will surely continue to rot eternally.
While wrapped within a curse-like fog in darkness frozen to its core.
He thus concluded.
Powers are off.
Corruptions are off.
Carry-on Weapons are not available.
Other carry-on items are available.
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
The mud seems to correlate with the flowers that presided this area—not white flowers, but red. Spider lilies, all of them—or perhaps not. The very border of the divide between red and white flower seems to be moving, white flowers overtaking the red as you can see the lily petals fold in on themselves, only to reopen as white roses. ]
[ At the epicenter of the red flowers, at the zenith of this hill, the source of bright light is more clearly visible now: it comes from a strangely, almost completely spherical rock—it's huge, big enough to be a second story building. Though it certainly looks like it's made of rock, there's a distinct feeling that it's quite alive: it does not have any cracks to speak of, save for the cave-like opening in the front, but with each layer of rock is a little bit of light that peeks out, the layers themselves shaped like dozens and dozens of wings that have folded on top of each other and fossilized, just like that. ]

He stops, attempting to pluck a flower mid-transformation.]
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
the flower is a spider lily in your hand, but it transforms into a rose—still, now you have blood on your hand and also a rose. The stem immediately regrows a new white rosebud. ]

He heads into the mud towards the rock.]
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
At the very center of the opening sits Lucifel—? His hair is black and his skin is lighter; his eyes are closed, breathing seeming even and steady. You can see that he, too, has begun fuse with this organic stone, his legs and feet already no longer distinguishable from the rest of the rock. ]
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
...Is this the holy grail?
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
Yes.
[ opening his eyes to look to him ]
Lahabrea-san—hello.
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
...I have a few questions.
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
Ah—then, what can I do for you?

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
A long, long time ago, on an island, just at the start of a new era with a new government, there was a local lord. He was a greedy one, who raised taxes by the year, for he wanted to build a castle.
Some time before that, there were men from the west that traveled to the island. They brought with them things to trade—material things, like guns, but other things as well. Recipes, religion—and so on.
Their religion was unusual, and it was spread along the land—but those in power did not care for it, for it was new and different, different from what they knew. Over time, they grew hostile toward anyone who practiced it.
. . .
In that particular lord's land, there were many who practiced this new religion. Since they were ostracized, and since they were looked down upon, nobody would help them when cruelties were enacted upon them. Nobody looked when their taxes were raised exorbitantly, to the point that they had nothing left for themselves to eat—and moreover, those in power encouraged violence against those people, too.
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
Go on. What became of the people?
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
They prayed and hoped for a savior. It was even prophesied that one would be born. Then—they discovered a boy who could produce miracles, just as the holy texts had written.
The violence grew worse. Eventually, it was to the point that they would have to fight back, or otherwise die.
. . .
Even if they fought back, they would surely die. Still, they wanted to die with meaning—
So they believed in me to lead them. They believed in me, to bring them peace, and if not that, then meaning. Then, the lords struck them all down.
Thirty seven thousand people in total.
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
And you? Did you survive?
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
Yet you live on in hell. Do you feel responsible for their deaths?
Re: 『Heaven's Grass』
[ lucifel is totally fine ]
After all, what crime did they commit deserving of death, except to follow my flag? To believe in me?
