[SECURITY] AND & ARCHIVES
What a bold—yet horribly foolish—move. I suppose Jericho must now realize why one does not often tamper with Fate. The House of Gelid is cruel and ruthless. The House of Cold, perhaps even worse. They will truly stop at nothing to regain control of this Universe. I’ve often wondered if it wouldn’t be less trouble for them to return to Entropy, steal another set of Kaos’ tools, and simply create their own Universes. Given how few Universes exist, it must be quite the hassle. Or perhaps, only a select few Archons even care to do such a thing.
It was quite interesting, by the way, to see the past as it was. To see… Adam, as he was. A cruel and uncaring man, willing to create life solely to further his own aims. I must admit, as I write this, I’m toeing a very dangerous line—but then, I figure I’m more valuable alive than dead. If that weren’t the case, why would I have been born at all? Regardless, it’s fair to say that Adam is to blame for the mess we’re in today. He sired the Pale and built the wall around Eridu, which slowed Lucifer down just enough to "fail" at her task—as was Fated, of course.
Since the creation of the never-ending cycle of the Demiurge’s reforged Pocketwatch, Adam seems to have taken a more passive role. Yet, I fear he poses a greater threat to the Universe than even Fate. Fate has a plan, and so does Adam. The difference is, Fate’s plans are always clear, always foretold. But Adam’s plans? Well… they are rather secret, aren’t they? And now that I’ve thoroughly danced on the other side of the line for a moment, I must return to my own destined path. What a horrible burden it is to honor thy father.
