28447 - War signs

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

The entire task wasn’t merely a matter of sacrifice,
there were also the wars.
They weren’t just mental ones. That’s what she saw at this point …
This tree had not given just battles
but it lived through a long term war against barbarism …
beyond the thousand years
without pausing, endlessly and relentlessly.
And it wasn’t a matter of heroism alone
It was Humanity’s need
and that was sufficient for the Servants to become activated
even though they were forbidden by the societies
since they were responsible for the enhancement
of barbarism.
But who would have believed that there was such a form of war?
Everyone had heard of the centennial one
but what could they say about the millennial one?
Yet the need was visible again
because barbarism was at a phase of genocide
with the same enemies of Humanity.
He felt his loneliness.
Within her he experienced the expression,
alone with Humanity
and he was happy living in this epoch.
