You are alone, sitting in a <<if $nothingness is false>><<if $pastEnding is false>>chair<</if>><</if>><<if $pastEnding is true>>pit<</if>><<if $nothingness is true>>desolate throne<</if>><<if $ozy is true>>colossal wreck<</if>>, with [[nothing]] to look forward to...

<<if $ozy is true>>There is a desert, vast and littered with familiar [[remains]] There is <<else>>There is no space, no surroundings. It's not darkness that envelopes you. It's just...[[a void|nothingness]]<</if>>

And in that void you hear voices, as your mind is turning against you. <<if $future is false>><<if $past is false>>You hear them talking about your [[future]], or your [[past]].<</if>><</if>> <<if $nothingness is true>>They are mocking you, in your own voice. It unsettles you, as you would have never imagined being the subject of your own beratement. [[Ignore yourself]] [[Listen to them|future]] <</if>> <<if $pastEnding is true>>They pity you, and in your own voice they speak, "You were once was so revered, or perhaps it was all a farce to placate you." They speak even more softly, "All we wanted was to be [[remembered|past]]." <</if>>

<<if $future is true>><<if $nothingness is true>>It's the same questioning that you had already experienced...<</if>><</if>>They speak, "Why think of something that had never existed?" Speaking turned into jeering, "Thy works bring despair to none other than your own past." <<set $future to true>> <<if $nothingness is true>>[[Indulge yourself]]<</if>> <<if $past is false>> [[Listen to the past|past]] <</if>> [[Remain silent|future again]]

<<if $pastEnding is true>>"All you wanted was to be remembered" Your voices sound broken now... "And did that make everything in the past pointless?" "[[Perhaps]]" <<else>>They speak, "Why think of something that has only endured in an insignificant minute?" You reply, "I was perfect." They snicker, "Only in the king's of kings vision, not the world's. What would it matter to the people if the king ruled over kings?" <<set $past to true>> <<if $future is false>> [[Listen to the future|future]] <</if>> [[Remain silent|past again]] <</if>>

Their statement rung true, and wrung your pride to the state of ye works. You close your eyes, as despair had entered the impenetrable fortress known as the king of kings, now sitting within the ambition he created, [[nothing|Beginning]]. <<set $nothingness to true>>

And you pondered, and pondered. What did all the grandeur that you failed to attain meant, especially if you would end up in a [[void|Beginning]]? <<set $pastEnding to true>>

<<set $nothingness to false>> <<set $future to false>> <<set $past to false>> <<set $pastEnding to false>>

"Nothing could be more insufferable than sitting in the company such as yourself." "I need no company. And if I abandon my own self then so be it." They laugh, "So prideful, and that was what brought you to your downfall. If a man cannot stand himself then how can anyone else?" Before you could respond, your body sinks, a shattered visage, whose frown reflected, through the nothingness, known as [[Ozymandias|Beginning]] <<set $ozy to true>>

"Indeed... you are correct" you pause. And you close your eyes once more. You, the voices, speak once again, "[[I am correct|Beginning]]"

They are only familiar...not recognizable. You keep on staring at the pieces, scanning for distinctive features. You become [[desperate]]

...and you become more desperate...hoping to find something more significant in these meaningless [[pieces]]

...and then you [[realize]]

You were staring at your future [[all along]]

Your Legacy.

And you pondered again, for what felt like an [[eternity]]

...was it an eternity? Time was no longer a concept, but after the eternity you answer, "Yes."
