Immortal Majesty

The following was found in the pages of a diary dating back to 1902 - recovered from the wreckage of a great building destroyed during a great conflict.

Much has changed since I was a boy in 1602, no longer do men sail the seven seas in search for treasure - yet their desire for conquest remains.. each and every one of them, savage and cruel.. happily marching to their own oblivion under the flag of patriotism.

Such poor souls call themselves heroes, believing they die for "Queen and country" - if only they knew the truth, that their so-called country would as soon betray them for a few gold coins as they would lay down their lives to defend it.

It is in times such as these that I am reminded of my destiny, to unite the world under one glorious leader, an Immortal Majesty who shall and forever will be the one true voice of reason in a sea of anarchy and despair.

Kings and Queens lack the power to set right the sins of their ancestors and governments are even less equipped to deal with the atrocities that must be corrected - it takes a leader with iron-fists and unblinking eyes to wade into the crowds and beat the animals into submission with heavy boots and swift fists.

It takes an Emperor to take those cowering beasts and teach them to walk and talk as proper men, to cleanse them of every base filth the old world has stained them with - in order to be reborn in the glory of the Immortal Majesty.

Nations rise and fall like castles of sand at a beach, yet the Immortal Majesty remains - soon this world shall feel the power firsthand of that which can never be destroyed, that which can never be equaled - the Emperor of all.

Yes, even as we speak my machines grow in power and I can feel the Aether inside me flow like wildfire, preparing me for the inevitable battle to come.

For although my efforts are pure, the world will no doubt resist me - as it has done countless times in the past.. they will look upon my machines with fear and disgust, they will label me a madman and a tyrant.

Yet for the good of all men I must continue - I must break down the governments of this world, I must dethrone each and every monarch, armies must be stripped of their power and each and every citizen of the world must come before me and be reborn.

It is true, they shall hate me, for I shall put them in chains - so that their children may learn to walk free, learned and powerful servants of the Immortal Majesty.
