"What do you mean by 'It suits', Aaron?" Crystet asked, curious as to what Aaron meant by that. "Do you mean to say something bad about yourself?" Aaron just smiled as he heard this before looking Crystet in the dead centre of his eyes. "You know me from my third life. The one where you became like me, but we were on opposing sides of a war. A war which I had started. Power had gone to my head. Just like how it went to your head in my fourth life. You adopted my mindset while I lost it. It was almost like it just imprinted on you after death. An execution of personalities, being replaced with the others. After all, you were peaceful until the end, and I was evil before that. Like we swapped identities as we died." Aaron told him, his hands pointed towards his face.
"In the eyes of gods, humans, and even myself, I can be called a bad guy. I am an anomaly to most people, and only a few select people know what I'm capable of, and two of them are the most powerful beings I know. I am an object of fear which scares anyone who sees my actions without context. If I were to go blow up a city for the sake of saving the planet, you would see the people treat me as a villain. To them, I would have just been blowing up a city for the sake of destruction. An unmerciful force is what I'd be seen as. After all, I've only ever lost due to pacifism and cockiness. When I died to you in your first life, I had been wanting a good fight and had lessened my blows in an attempt to enjoy it, and it worked. In your second one, you couldn't be killed unless I killed myself while truly forgiving you. I had to erase my memories before doing that just so I could forgive you. I had no idea that the monster that I watched there was you. If I knew, I probably would have been even angrier. Although, knowing might have made me forgive you easier." Aaron explained, making Crystet realise what had gone on inside Aarons's head. He had been continually thinking of his actions. Crystet just thought Aaron was focused on the present, but the past always catches up with you.
It's something Aaron's always taken into account. If you can't learn from and accept your previous actions, you won't ever make it in the world. This is the main reason for Aaron's atychiphobia. He's afraid of his past, and he's just like us all, but to an extreme extent. We all have something that we're fearful of from our past, and if it were to return, we'd be scared. Although Aaron was scared of something that most of us aren't. He was afraid of himself. He knows what he's done. You know what he's done. You see this all as a text-based story, don't you? Well, I'm sorry, but this is all real. This is all happening to a person, and you're one of the only three people who think that it's a story, the other two being N and L. You know who they are. If you've gotten this far, you know who they are. After all, this is all just a little story for you. Well, it wouldn't be the most fun if you were in place of the story, no? You take Aaron's place. Take on his roles, his responsibilities.
His fears.
I may just be a life-describer, but this isn't just a tale of fantasy. It is something real and something you should be afraid of. After all, ever heard the term 'Fantasy is Reality'? That describes this situation. You're updated in real-time of this guy's life, so you had better be prepared for some ramifications of believing that it's just a story. After all, he's going to surpass you one day. He will find you, and he's going to be pissed. I'm just warning you now, TOB. Now, I'll go pact to speaking about Aaron's current actions.
"My past is something of nightmares. No decent person could kill eight billion people and be able to live peacefully. It's always in the back of my mind, like a looming threat. It's something scary, but I live by a poem. A poem which someone important on my original planet used to survive over 20 years in confinement." Aaron stated as he began to recite the poem to the surprise of everybody present. He kept on doing unpredictable things.
"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul."
"In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed."
"Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid."
"It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."
"What does this poem mean to you, Aaron? To me, it means absolutely nothing. It's just random words." Crystet asked as everyone looked at Aaron in confusion. What the hell did such a poem mean to someone like Aaron? "It gives me the strength to go on. It tells me that no matter how hard the challenge, no matter the punishment I receive, I pioneer my life and that everyone can pioneer their own. They just need determination and resolve. If you don't have those, what is the point? The thing that looms over me is the Shade of Horror, my past, yet I still push through the hours, the days. After all, nothing can truly stop anyone. All it takes is the resolve to overcome it. People who say the way you are is how you will be for the rest of your life, but that's wrong."
"Can't you see? We are free. To choose our destiny and be the way we want to be. Another chance. We just need to have the resolve and believe."
Bonk :)
Also I'm bored so if anyone wants me to specifically say anything in the authors section, just comment it lmfao
