“Some people have tended to look at the sun as an eye of sorts. Light that cascades down from the heavens illuminating all. None can hide from the watchful eye of the Sun. And so people act without worry for they know they are watched by the Gods above.”
“By that notion when the Sun sets that must mean that the Gods are not watching. No? Darkness overtaking everything allowing the worst in humanity to fester and grow. Suddenly humanity must act in their own self interests for they believe that they are abandoned.”
“But Mankind was always judged wasn’t it? Each star was an eye of a God, or a warrior. Mankind just assumed that they couldn’t be judged in the shroud of night. And the thought that pulled at the back of their head became fleeting as they began making their lights to ignore the stars.”
“Some would say the eyes that remain in the shadows are the most dangerous. They’re silent, they judge, but most importantly they know when to strike and strike the hardest. That I may grant you Night. You have become a shadow within the cloak of night. Exposing yourself to the worst of what causes the rot of man, and coming out the other side.”
“But your tactics only work so well. Sadly a god that wishes to remain hidden may not attempt to burn brighter than another without quickly being snuffed out quickly. You play your hand and then you will have become exposed, analyzed, and held up to scrutiny. Your tactics have become trite and you must think on your feet but you can never to the shadows from whence you came.”
“I became deeply aware of this fact from the day I set foot on my mission. And I opted to stand proudly in the sun, making no excuses for my actions. My plans were laid bare before the entire world. For I knew that I would always be watched, I would one day be the one with eyes looking at me hungry if I was opportunistic.”
“So hide in the shadows Night. Let it give you cold comfort. When we stand in the ring there will be no shadows, only bright lights to expose all before us. When we face off you will not be staring at my back hungry. You will be looking at me face to face. And while I look at you, you will see the eyes of the dragon princess.”
“Eyes that roar with the fires of hunger. Eyes that burn brighter than the sun that you have rushed to hide from in the shadows. And your worst fear will occur once the bell rings.”
“Those eyes will follow your movements.”
