Mother Knows Best

I understand now the nature of my transgression. I had thought that mankind could be reforged in the image of nature. But I was naïve! Whatever hope I still harbored for my former kin has clouded my judgment. I see now that a return to the natural order must be driven by the forces of the natural order. And what greater force shall I find than the parentage of the Gorgons? I have channeled all power bestowed upon me by the waters of creation into my forebearers, Halcyon and Echidna, ending their slumbers and ushering them into a sublime, new life as the guardians of our sacred land. My mother and father will watch over me as hercyne, ensuring that my sacred work is carried out undisturbed. And when all of Aeternum is tranquil once more, I too will sleep. And await the arrival of the next blasphemer who would seek to defile this sacred land.
