Apocalypse

Five thousand years have passed like dust in the wind, and I have seen all the folly of mankind. I do not destroy—I refine. I do not rule—I correct. I have been called cruel, but what is cruelty but a necessary fire to forge the future? I raise up those strong enough to wield power, and cast down those who would squander it. Welcome to the next stage of evolution. Pray you are not left behind.
