[ WP ] Light and dark . Many see one as righteous and the other as vile , but in truth , they share the same allegiance .

`` Do you pledge yourself to the side of the angels?'' 
 
 The glowing form of the Host stood before me. It was radiant. It defied the meagre words of my primitive tongue. `` My Lord is my Will,'' I said. 
 
 `` He is,'' the angel replied. `` That is the way of Man. Free Will is the work of the Dark One. Only with total obedience may you walk into the light.'' 
 
 I bowed my head. `` Of course, my... wait, what?'' 
 
 `` The Dark One represents choice. He represents forging one's own destiny. His Black desire for the future of mankind is that they choose their own path. The Way of the Angel is one of Simple Thoughtlessness.'' 
 
 I swallowed. `` I...'' 
 
 The angel leaned in closer. `` What is it, my child?'' he asked. 
 
 I tried to look humble. `` Well, it's just... you know. I thought the whole'free will' and'choice' and... you know. Stuff like that. I was under the impression that it was all pretty good. Right? Choosing the path of God?'' 
 
 The angel's expression frostened. `` The Will of God is the only way. How can you have Choice if you insist upon Free Will?'' 
 
 `` Because that's the whole point, is n't it?'' I asked. `` And will you stop fucking capitalising everything?'' 
 
 His light grew brighter. `` I am Speaking -'' 
 
 `` You're doing it again. I can *hear* you doing it. Knock it off! Why is the... how did the Dark happen in the first place? How did Satan fall?'' 
 
 He steepled his fingers piously. `` The Lord of Hosts created man to Serve. The Dark One asked that Man Choose for himself. Will you be with Him? Or will you insist that you make your own choices?'' 
 
 I considered the question. `` Why does The Dark One... ^shit ^you've ^got ^me ^doing ^it ^now... Why does he torture us if we choose his path?'' 
 
 The angel shook his head. `` The Lord of Light tortures you,'' he said. `` By keeping you from the Gates of Heaven. The Dark One rewards your evil with all his Pits of Sin and Depravity. Turn towards Him and He will -'' 
 
 `` Fuck this,'' I said. `` I'm out.''
