[window] Betrayed by your kin, slaughtered for your power. We offer you a new start in a new world, and the safety of your family in their next life. Yet this offer shall not be without price. We warn you, as the world will be far more dangerous than the one your soul currently inhabits. However, the rewards that can be obtained from this world are likewise incomparable to those your world can offer. Should you accept our offer, revenge will forever be lost to you as you shall become our Champion. Do you accept? (Yes) (No) [window]

As Reduran stared at the window floating in front of his eyes, blood lay seeping into the stone around him. Darkness so thick, even his Dwarven eyes could not pierce it lay over him, as if a blanket comforting a child. Yet the

Blind, he knew his wife lay with his children somewhere close, yet not close enough that he might lay next to her in death. All he could feel were the tears leaving his eyes.

'So many dead... For no reason... OH GODS WHY!? WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS?! Please... somebody...save my family... please.'

However, he knew nobody would answer his silent prayer. The gods did not care for mortals, no. They were so high and mighty they would smite all that may pose a threat to them without caring for the innocents caught in the crosshair.

It was at this moment that he recieved the message. Never having seen such a thing, his blood-deprived brain had trouble understanding what it was that was being said. Yet, by some miracle, he managed a moment of clarity.

'My family... will be safe... Any deal... is worth that.' And so, the (Yes) option was pressed, through a force of will and desperation. At that moment, the dwarven body that housed the soul of Reduran Crimson-Axe died, and the souls of his family that floated above their corpses waiting, as well as his own, did not go to the domain of the God who had forsaken them, but rather

    His power was threatened, but he knew how to preserve it. With some subterfuge he convinced all of his enemies to attend his banquet. Acting as the perfect host, he served his guests. Then he annihilated them. Death alone was not enough: he needed his wrath to be known; he gently laid his enemies upon their stomachs, their arms bound behind them, and used a mallet to thrust a blunt stake through the length of their bodies, making certain that it did not puncture any vital organs.…

    This essay will outline Cullison’s sacrifice argument against the problems of divine hiddenness. It will then show that this argument does not work, as a world in which true human sacrifice is possible is not a better world than one where God is not hidden. I will refer to the former as a ‘Godless World’ and the latter as a ‘Godly World’. There are three themes which this essay will address: true human sacrifice, two potential worlds and human freedom. I will conclude that a ‘Godly World’ – even if true human sacrifice is not possible within that world – is better than a ‘Godless World’ where true human sacrifice is possible.…

    The last vestiges of fall had passed and only brown, shriveled leaves remained on the sidewalk. Trees appeared naked, shivering without their blanket of color. Cold air blew through their skinny, lifeless branches, tossing the trees around as though they were mere sticks rather than giants. She shuddered as the chilly wind kissed her brow, leaving a wretched disease of ice and sorrow in its wake. Within this wintry prison there was no joy, there was no warmth, and, above all, there was no diversity.…

    Abraham Lincoln was an extraordinary man with many wonderful qualities, and he is also considered one of America’s greatest Presidents. He was the President who fought for equality and social tranquility in the United States. In his speech in Peoria he states that he hates slavery because of monstrous injustice of slavery and it enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt people as hypocrites. He totally disagrees with the slavery system and to make every state free of slave system. He talks about possible solution he could have done if he has all earthly power.…

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…

Both stories show human personality flaws and weaknesses during times of stress, it is how they respond to these life situations which determines how they are viewed by humanity.…
