[It does for them as well. A child born to be a bomb. Born to be the death of the world. That's them, isn't it. The guide, fated to guide you to the end of it all.
They had tried so hard to be a person, for so long. They had bled and burned and died to be a person, and when they came back they kept trying and trying - only to discover they were only ever meant to be a demon.]
They presume to preside above us, acting as our judges, our rulers, our gods, our executioners. They offer us second chances and mercy all without understanding a damn thing about what we are - why some of us refuse their offer. They believe they can control us, control this world, that only they get to give out consequences and judgement - because they won their little conquest, and they now sit atop a throne of corpses so large that these people can mistake it for gold.
So many would tell you that their logic is alien - incomprehensible, but it's always the same. They believe themselves to be above consequences, because we aren't real. Not to them. Perhaps not at all.
But nothing is above consequences - no matter how powerful they might seem to be. They will all be judged for their sins, just as we have been. They have stolen this world, but they haven't always controlled it. We just need to steal it back. And I'm willing to wait as long as I have to.
The first step in war is to learn everything you can about the enemy. So that's what I've been doing.
