Role

Chapter 7

A meticulously detailed multi-colored emblem of a scarab beetle glows atop
this crisp white page. The hastily scrawled text below is smudged in many
places, as if the ink were not left to dry properly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Eye of the Scarab, I stand witness to these changing days. The Temple
grows. The new era progresses. The undeniable Truth thrives, relentless in
its expression. The Flame burns, the Voice speaks. Fathers Will manifest, we
shape the world in the purest image of the Self, purging all remnants of the
enslaving diseases of the commoners minds, destroying the oppressions of
their morality.

Slowly, the children emerge. Many of them, still caught in a dream, their
eyes now open wide as they awaken, casting away the illusions of enslavement
and denying the oppressions of morality. And so it is that our Temple grows,
slowly and with definitive purpose.

And I watch. And I wait for the proper time, for the next stage of my
metamorphosis to unfold. My meditations grow deeper as I slow my mind and
heart ever closer to the verge of utter stillness, so close to death itself
as if to embrace it fully. And in these stillest of moments I have discovered
a truly immaculate clarity. I have grasped the very essence of life, health
and self-control.

I have been lost in the maze of the Truth. I have wandered endlessly. I have
mined the depths of the soul for the Truth. I have destroyed my Self to
become the Truth reborn. I have waded ravenously through the archives of
knowledge in the most distant corners of the land in search of visions
unknown. Always the end of one path, another begins.

Only now have I found this truly remarkable inspiration, within the pinnacle
of Trothons Tower itself, as if a sign had been laid out before me all
along! Trothon himself had found the way. How, I am uncertain. Perhaps he
failed in the end. Regardless, it would appear my Becoming is conceivable and
in time it must be so. I shall seek guidance from the Father Himself.
As we will it, so it shall be.
