Freedom

Written by: Sestina Senz'ombra

Addressed to: Vastar, the Skylord


Freedom is not Yours to withdraw, Skylord, no matter how deeply steeped in its ideal You and Your followers may be. Freedom cannot be taken from us. Throw Your tantrums in the sky, cast Your disdain upon us, attempt to shackle us if You will, but You and no other can take away our Freedom.

Freedom is earned, yes. Freedom is seldom understood and frequently misused, yes. But Freedom is immutable and entrenched within the hearts of those who bleed for it. Freedom is not a privilege but a right, one that is occasionally abused but never alienated. You speak of a utopia, but open its gates only to those who meet Your approval. There is no Freedom in such a land. Exclusivity breeds narrow-minded conformity, Skylord, even if those minds embrace what You call 'Freedom'.

Wherever You have been, clearly it has twisted Your mind. Witnessing Your fellow Divine from afar, waiting for us mortals to learn a lesson and never once raising a hand to come to Their aid must have touched You in the head. You are no Skylord, You are just another minion of Chaos, tainted by its entropic caress, swollen with apathetic pride, hastening us towards destruction and condemning us for a crime You will not define. I cannot accept that You are truly Lord Vastar. If you are not the Skylord, Who are You?

Whoever You are, I defy You. You think You can remove Freedom from my lips? Then I will say it again and again.

Freedom.
Freedom.
Freedom.

Clarity keep, 'Skylord'.

Penned by my hand on the 1st of Aeguary, in the year 653 AF.
