Enlightenment [2]

Damien didn't see it coming.

He hadn't done anything particularly noteworthy to prompt enlightenment, so he was wondering just as much as anybody else why it came now.

But regardless of the "why," it was here.

When Damien sat down at the creek, his eyes instinctively closed, and his mind was subtly pulled away from reality.

Something about the moment was perfect.

In the midst of so much chaos, finding peace was a special thing. Damien didn't feel it because he never acknowledged temporary peace as real peace, however, he couldn't deny the feelings in his heart.

That peace was what led to the current situation.

Damien felt the power of "order."

Order, the opposite of chaos, was one of the concepts that governed the world.

Order and chaos didn't have their own laws. They were more like compilations of several laws that embodied a concept, so there wasn't an individual who could wield their power directly.
