28 Order and Civilization

"You must be the one to avenge the lives of your loved ones with your own hands," Lu Zhiyu said, leading Ahenaten away from the hut. "I am only here to provide you guidance from the glorious Goddess of Light, Maria."

"But why won't the gods kill off the evil wolf-men?" Ahenaten asked, clearly unsatisfied with Lu Zhiyu's answer. "Why did the gods watched the orcs killed my parents and my clansmen? How could gods who stood by and watched these things happen still be called gods?"

"What do you think gods are? Your servants?" Lu Zhiyu turned back and looked at Ahenaten. "They gave you lives, intelligence and power. They also gave you lush lands and a world to explore. Do you still want them to watch over every second and every aspect of your lives? Fulfil your every wish and desire? You are too greedy!" Seeing that Ahenaten didn't say anything in response, Lu Zhiyu continued. "The gods gave you hope and a future, but it is up to you to decide which path to take."
