Merlin the Magician #3
To say that someone is fearless is completely irrational. No matter the amount of power or status a person acquires, fear is an unavoidable emotion. People ask me repeatedly if I feel fear, and when I respond yes, they often ask how such a powerful and intellectual man can fear anything. I respond by telling them that one can attempt to educate themselves completely, but there will still be a fear of the unknown. I fear minor things daily, but my deepest fear is of the unknown. I was born of the devil and baptized at birth to avoid inheriting his evil nature. Although, I know he can not consume me on earth, I fear that upon death we will meet again. You see, he must be cunning, and I know he is persistent. A combination of the two leads me to feel uneasy about my future. How far will he go to bring me to him in the Underworld, how many loved ones will he hurt in order to get his way, and how will I ever be able to die peacefully not knowing what will happen? I am a prophet and have a belief system, however, the events that lead to my birth were unusual and sick. Who's to say that events equally evil, although different, won't happen at my death? Please, don't tell anyone I told you the details of my fear. No one will feel comfortable taking my advice or researching my teachings. They'll think it's the work of the devil. Who knows...it might be.

The fear of the unknown can be paralyzing and the fact that you are able to keep developed yourself and to try to move on is very respected.
ReplyDeleteOh Merlin, how I can relate to you so... My fear is living in ignorance, so always for me the fear of the unknown is right around the corner. If I know nothing then I will always be ignorant and if I not no everything then I may still be ignorant, so I understand your fear and I think this is why we are such good friends.

Ohh masterful magician,
ReplyDeleteHow i wish you would of followed the path of evil that was so thoroughly set out for you. I think you would of found it rather entertaining to be the cause of pain and suffering among the feeble souls that cover the realm. Your fears would have been no more if you had imitated the teachings of your father. Death eventually catches up with everyone, and if you don't embrace it, then you are a fool. Your benevolent ways have brought you far, but will ultimately prove to be your downfall.
