Prologue: To Be

What is it to be? Is it the awareness of the self, the ability to string two coherent thoughts together? Or is it something much more?

Some say that it is the ability to think, to know that one exists. But is sentience truly of the mind and body alone, or is there a guiding force? A soul?

The answer, of course, lies within choice. It is what makes us different. Even from a forced choice. Choice is certainly not a trick of chemical reaction, not some cosmic cruel joke. It is a gift. A gift and a curse. For in every choice, there is right and wrong. Especially the choice. The choice that decides ascension or descension. The choice that decides the fate of the other half of being.

The soul.

Our Salvation.
