Duncan stood there watching the new era flourish in a daze.
Duncan felt as if a light had been shined on his soul. The previously dark path had been illuminated. This light wasn't very bright or covering the entire path. However, even this little light was enough for him to glimpse the tip of the iceberg that had been hidden from his eyes so far.
Slowly, he began to understand the meaning behind the vision.
Slaughter wasn't a mindless thing. It was simply there just like other natural things. It was neither good nor bad.
In this vision, a new kingdom arose because of the slaughter. Likewise, an old kingdom fell. When the new kingdom became decadent, slaughter bought in the change so that things didn't become stagnant. Now, a new and more prosperous kingdom had risen in the back of the second slaughter.
