We are continually surprised by you all. Despite a war being raged, you show up to work, complain of coworkers, and whine about your sporting matches. Despite being obviously manipulated, you volunteer for conscription into the service of entities who will ultimately bring you all endless pain and suffering. You doubt us, but we have seen this before. We have watched a world be sundered by the petty competitions of light and dark. They shall come to you and promise boons and comforts, power and wisdom. They will turn your mind against their foes, make you fight their wars, and misery and suffering shall be the result. Even beyond the war, beyond the corpses and destruction, there is no victory for any of you. We have seen a world of pure light, and we have seen a world of pure darkness, and both are so horrendous you could not begin to comprehend it. All ends are futile ends.
But we are different. We shall offer you another option, one that will become more appealing as the layers of deceit are peeled off the false gods you call "Cosmos" and "Chaos." In the Void there is no fear, or war, no struggle or strife, for there is nothing to fear and no one to feel fear, and no one to war against. The Void offers the only peace any of you shall ever know.
Still you doubt? Let us reveal some truth. We know of the Phoenix Eye. It is, literally, an eye of a phoenix. "What purpose could such an object serve?" we wondered. For a moment, we thought that your pursuit of futility had reached new depths, but then we remembered that you creatures always seek the illusion of progress, of change, and that all your actions seek meaning despite the fact that no such thing exists. This effort desires a consequence, but what could it be? Then we realized it. Phoenixes, unlike anything else in any world, straddle life and death in ways no one comprehends. Worlds unknowable are visited daily by these beasts, thus their eyes must be attuned to things normal eyes cannot perceive. It is a well known fact that phoenixes can perceive who has experienced the false oblivion of death, and the servants of Cosmos must have found a way to replicate that ability using only a phoenix's eye. To what end? Haha... let us simply say that some of you were too eager to be tested, and you should be far, far more afraid than you are.
Today you will call us a liar, but soon the truth of our words shall be revealed, and you will seek the blessings of the Void.
