Chapter 4

A change... a change was needed, and a change was made in Ogae's life.
What he thought he desired, and what he truly desired were further apart
than he realized. Ogae, while thinking order meant power, armies, guards, rules
that were followed meant power, he was further from the truth and with the help
of Father Morius, and a few others, came to a realization about such.

The Empire, the Spire, only shackles to my true being, but what was my true self?
This thought agonized Ogae, because more than ever, he wanted to become strong
and wanted to know this, what was he missing, what was his true self? The pint
up anger, the desperation of being marked and hunted, the passion he felt so deeply
and pride in his accomplishments. The lust and greed for more power, what was he really?

For days, Ogae studied the book of Morius, seeking to learn himself, learn what his true
self was. And it always felt as if he came up short at realizing what it is. Has
he been living under the shackles of weakness of others for so long he couldn't?
If that were the case, he had to do something to make the change, to unshackle his
clouded mind, and his soul, and in this, he retired from the Spire, unclear of his
next move. Though, he did have something in mind, serving Morius and following under
the path of darkness, the ones who do anything to seek the power they wish and need to
any ends, this felt particularly aligned to Ogae, as being tolerable of weakness was
something he never experienced, even as a child growing up the Volcano, where
daily beatings were given to those weaker than them, and demoralization, though even
that would make those who survive stronger than most.

It was decided, if Ogae was to suffer in this world, being hunted and marked for death
by the masses, then he would do it with his own will, his own strength, and with
Morius who he seeks to indulge in, like a fine cup of wine, through the darkness of
the Eternal night.
