Long, long ago

With the appearance of mankind
Something that would cause a rift in the world
emerged with them

It lived among the people
Worshiped for its mysterious powers
And hated for its unceasing whims
It existed as a constant fear
A force that would destroy the world

Humans began to wonder whether It was good or evil

It instilled an overwhelming desire to dominate the world
It fostered reckless courage
to make them self-destruct as heroes
It gave children abilities beyond what they could bear
And prospered in the chaos

It exists within us without any reason, purpose, or rules

We call It tricky
