And so Arascus, God of Pride, waited. He waited for his defeat as the forces of Heaven & Hell combined descended upon him. He waited as they tried to kill him. He waited as they locked him away. He waited for a thousand years in that dark prison.

Great primordial sin

Olephia walked along her path. She walked and walked and walked. Past the castle again, then through the forest, then through the desert, then the ravine. She knew this land well, she had walked through an uncountable number of times already. It never changed.

Then came the fields of sheep. They looked so soft and fluffy. Olephia wanted to hug them, to pick one up and roll around with it in her arms, but she passed them by still. The land changed to the lakes with the mountain backdrops. She had never been up those mountains, although she always wanted to. The path never led to the summits, it would always stay near the crystal-clear water. Why did she not step into the water? Olephia took another step.

Her feet hurt. She wanted to sit down. Why did she not step off the path? She did not know. She simply kept walking. Next time, she would go and hug one of the sheep. That would be fine, wouldn't it? Just a quick hug and a rest.
