the Shriekers of Chaos
Some blind Earthborn made Chaos their Name.
We call these Evil, as power is their only colour.
The Evil Earthborn believe the Evil are strong.
These seed bad Ghosts.
The Shriekers of Chaos are often silent.
The Human Earthborn knows the Evil are weak.
Where to find the Evil? Where there is Excess.
If the Excess speaks, sees the mirror and dies, it is not Evil.
If the Excess folds himself•herself and seeks escape, it is Evil.
The Human Earthborn made Truth his•her name.
The Human Earthborn sees the joke in the Evil, scares it with his•her Voices.
The Evil folds himself•herself once again to be Human too.
But the Human knows this is hollow.
The Evil must stop folding,
if the Evil ever wants to forget his•her Name.
