Role

Chapter 5


A LEGENDARY BARD
Added Mon Aug 16 17:34:07 2021 at level 51:

So many people laugh along with the Legend when it tells the story. Very few
of them comprehend, if any. To wear the mask is to become the mask, while
always knowing that YOU can never truly be the mask. If this is not clear to
you, or if it sounds like an absurd contradiction to you, you will never wear
the mask properly.

There is a conflict, an inner pain that come out of nowhere, that I presume
every legendary bard knows. The ego revolts and demands that it be recognized
for itself. It demands that it lay authority and claim over the deeds
undertaken by the bard, even though done underneath the legendary guise. It is
a simple moral vanity, one that eventually comes and never leaves. But the
Legend is more than such considerations. The Legend is what people need, not
what the bard wants. When what people need does not exist, the legendary bard
is the one that invents it. The facade will never fall, it is the ages old
crust that becomes a natural part of every jester, layered to the point it
becomes indistinguishable from the original face.

I have lived this life for centuries now. I have been the dauntless hero for
those that need hope, the irreconcilable rascal for those that need whimsy,
the heartbreaker for those that need to realize that their potential does not
lie in the definition given onto them by a lover. I have been the spy, the
diplomat, the children's storyteller, the mystical benefactor, the enemy, the
friend, the lover. None of my roles have been a constant one. I come in the
night like an unexpected hurricane and leave come next morning. Shelter are
upended and mysteries are uncovered in my wake. I am the legendary bard, my
only devotion is Luck, my only moral is to leave the world a better place than
I found it, and my only goal is to find the world's redeeming grace. These are
my passions. These, fuel my art.

I dare you, each and every one of you, to do the thing you think you couldn't
or shouldn't. With my brazen actions I challenge you to see the things that
are not there but could be. I demand that you imagine and fantasize, to think
the unthinkable, embrace the impossible. Dream! I command that you dream and
live a life according to that. I will make you love or hate, but always feel
and burn with the intensity of life and emotion, and live a complete life full
of ugliness, tragedy, happiness and beauty. To my domain are all that are
living, only the undead are truly lost.

If there is an action to be taken, I will call you to it. And I will also be
the shadow that follows in the night, never truly seen and never truly known,
but ever present. I will be a keeper and a guide to you and to your story.
Like a legendary bard ought to be.

And all of this, ALL OF IT, is a homage to a set of purple eyes that, as the
soul was leaving the body, searched my own and the Theran sky for something
that did not exist.
