❝Your anatomy, physics, how you’re even alive – You’re not of this Universe. You are a construct of a past Universe.❞

❝When glass shatters, it leaves tiny slivers behind, no matter how broken it is. The same goes for a Universe. You are a remnant of a long forgotten past, that has managed to survive the shattering numerous times I might say.❞

❝Why don’t you remember this, you ask? I have a theory. There must have been a period of time in-between the Fading of the last Universe and the Creation of the most recent. I’d say your time in the empty void of nonexistence drive you insane, broke your understanding of the world. As almost-mortals like yourself do, you sweep those bad memories into the corner of your mind and forget about them.❞

❝Luckily for you, the Oracle is unaware of your existence. If she did know… Let’s just say you wouldn’t be with us now, yeah? The Oracle is afraid of the lies she’s built about her being the ‘Ultimate And Only God-King, Creator of All The Universe’ crumbling. It will eventually, I’m sure, as all things do; even things as ancient as Universes and Essences.❞

❝Your existence would prove her wrong. There was something before. But the Oracle won’t admit it.❞

❝Until then, though, I’d advise you stay out of her sight.❞
