The Fall

Elevated, the Thoughtful observes the world left behind and reflects on the memories that still remain. Gazing upon the mortals from his elevated view, he is able to understand interactions which alluded him before. Clouds that blocked his eyes were slowly being pushed away. What puzzled him in his mortal shell, became child's play. For when the Thoughtful gazed upon the mortals, he was able to understand them and in turn understand himself better. All that was required was to gain a new perspective on what he already knew. A perspective that was unattainable wandering the mortal land.

The Thoughtful rigorously observed and processed the mortals, and started to create frameworks to create structure to the seemingly chaotic world. Creating belief systems on how the world operates and how the world should operate. As the clouds dissipated year by year, the Thoughtful became wiser by observing others. Slowly chipping away at the mysteries of existence.

Although the Thoughtful had acquired knowledge unattainable without his new paradigm, an old truth still haunted him. In order to fully understand, one must actively participate in the world, rather than merely observe it. The Thoughtful knew what he needed to do. To return to the land of the mortals, to live there once again with the lessons learned from the paradigm shift. The Thoughtful, jumped down towards his old home, leaving his immortal existence to have it be replaced with another mortal shell. The leap fueled by the hope that he would have a new found appreciation for his one again home, to be able to experience the old with a new set of eyes, and to possibly enlighten the mortals. As his feet touched the mortal land, the Thoughtful ceased to exist, and what remained was the Devil Messiah.
