“ When you embrace the darkness within, you will always live in the light. ”
Satan walks nowhere on this Earth, nor has he ever, save where he treads within the human heart.
~ Joseph D'lacey
The Earth was not dead. She had been sick, yes, weakened by an infestation. Now she was ridding herself of it. For those who remained alive the choice was a simple one, whether they realised it yet or not: Work with the land-- respect it and give back to it-- or die.
