Letter from Sherilynn Delsantos
 +
The gullible fools in Hetland and Sint have committed the most insane of all possible acts. It is inconceivable that they have agreed to deal with these Servants of what you have only known so far as the mythical "fourth faction".
 +
 +
These temples of light are not the salvation of humanity they would have you believe. The Servants have cloaked themselves in the trappings of salvation only to draw the gullible into willingly giving their own lives. In this manner the Servants need not put themselves at risk. They simply use the life energy of their willing victims to unleash horrific forces of destruction. At the same time they siphon off some of the energy to stage an attack the barriers that hold back their masters. Should he sacrifices be allowed to continue unabated, the energy they amass will eventually be sufficient to drop these last barriers. If that happens then you shall truly come to know the meaning of "hell on earth".
 +
 +
This is no fabrication, I swear unto you. The weakening of these barriers has also widened those gates through which we summon our own daimons. We have been able to begin bringing forth large numbers of our own daimon soldiers. The undead and monsters will also have taken advantage of this weakening of the barriers to summon large numbers of their own forces as well, and will continue to do so for so long as the temples of light continue to drain the life-energy of your world through the unwitting sacrifices.
 +
 +
We must work together quickly to destroy these temples of light. If they are allowed to continue to siphon off the life energy of humanity, then all of us shall be destroyed when the Servants finally bring down the final barriers.

Beware, humans! You know not what forces with which you play. With every human sacrifice you so willingly pledge, you weaken the barriers ever further. Think you that these "prophets of light" will not demand a price for their aid? You build a debt each time you wield their infernal power. You cannot postpone the repayment of this debt forever. When the barriers are gone, they will come to claim it.

I see that my predictions have born fruit far faster than even I expected. Already the "forces of light" have pulled back their power. Now that you have been given a taste of what they can do, they start to make excuses for why they can't keep producing it. What next? Will they begin to ask for greater, and more frequent sacrifices in order to keep the power flowing?

I warn you, humans: You know not the power of that with which you play! Your meddling in these powers you cannot comprehend could very well be the doom of us all.

Benton, you are a spineless dog. You betray not only your alliances, but your oaths and your faith. It was only a few short months ago that you got on your knees before me, acknowledged my godhood, and pledged your very soul to my service. Now when you meet the first true test of your faith, you tremble like leaf in the wind and forswear all your oaths and loyalties.

Look, all of you, and see what kind of lackeys the "servants of light" call to their service: Forsworn, faithless cowards.

Ahh... Had I only known that humans were so gullible, that they'd be willing to open their own veins for the promise of a little bit of power, and a flash of light from the sky. When the barriers finally collapse, and They finally return to these lands, I shall have to congratulate them on their brilliant ploy. By the time They arrive, all of you humans will have killed yourselves in your foolish greed.

So be it, Guillaume thought, though he was reluctant to move forth. He arrived at the entrance of the Daishi temple, shuddering at the mere thought of entering such a despicable place. Much suffering had been cause by these people, these fools, these hypocritical fools. What had to be done had to be done.

He penetrated inside and went for Marta, though she did not seem to care for his approach as he did. He walked slowly, carefully, he knew how dangerous this place was.

"Marta..." He paused. "Servant of the Light." He bowed, then looked her in the eyes as he continued. "We... are afraid. The world is afraid. Do you bring the salvation we all pray for? Or do you bring the destruction we fear for? We... We want to believe. But..." Guillaumed paused a bit, looking around him. The stares were angry, murderous. "Here you are, among the Damned, protecting them. These people... are punished by the gods. They are murderers, oath-breakers. Before this invasion, they hunted down people, people doing what you ask humanity to now do. They swore never to side with the invaders, that they'd rather die, that they would always be the vanguard of humanity. But when the invaders came, and we pleaded for their help... none came. We suffered against the monster hordes, and they sat and did nothing. Then the daimons came, and told them they had to help against the monsters and the undead. They refused, blocking the sole source of assistance we could hope for. And for this, they were punished. Are punished. For their hypocrisy, egoism, dishonour, and murders. Look at their diplomatic relations, they are the only realm to have signed peace with the monster puppets of Meridian Republic. They signed peace with the monsters, it was only the latter which broke it and not the Damned themselves. Never once did they fight the monsters that plague the South or the undead who consume the North. The only ones they ever fought are the only ones who ever stood alongside man to defend him. And as for Sint... you could say their moral compass always points South. There are always the first to worship the daimons, and then the first to say they've repented. Now two invasions in a row."

Revision as of 23:15, 24 October 2010

Compilations are not yet available for essays of the Cuachitl of Light.

They are said to be in constant confrontation with the Cuachitl of Darkness, namely the Daimons, the Undead, and the Monsters. They have come to this world as vessels of Gods, allowing men to sacrifice their blood to tap into its divine potential. It is, however, unknown what gods they serve and what their ultimate purpose on this world is. Sources say that this weakens the barrier between the divine and the mortal world, as every bust of their energy allows greater numbers of the forces of darkness to arrive to balance the immediate loss they suffer. They come preaching salvation, but are depicted as destroyers of the world as others.

They have currently sought to establish themselves among the Damned, creating further doubt on their motives. The Damned, who waged war on the faithful because of their Blood Sacrifices, are now sacrificing unprecedented amounts of blood to these beings, never in Cultist History so much blood having been spilled in such short periods. More is yet to come.
