RPC Authority

Thank you all so much for your votes, positive or negative. I'm so happy I won this contest.

But special thanks to moistbread, vizlox, coupon, TTPY, Baubius, and Tarbolin for their support and feedback.

Some things to think;

• Twenty-one people were affected in the first incident, but twenty-two bodies were recovered. Why?
• "Emotional tears" doesn't necessarily mean sad (or happy) tears
• CSD-797's journey has a meaning, but what is it?
• Why does the steel box from 747 and 992 appear here?
• Who is UNKNOWN, and to what GoI are they related?
• What happened to UNKNOWN to begin with?
• Who is Ozymandias?

BLACKPILLED AGAIN!

looked upon and despaired, 5/5

The Emissary of Iraz watches over the King’s light, wary that it might one day threaten the darkness.

+5 Al, you deserve it.

RPC needs more of this. This was exceptional. +5

There is a lot of very evocative images and interesting collection of scenes. But the issue is that in the end it does not lead to some significant conclusion or point. It's a collection of separate moments, thematically and topically bound, but missing an end, something that puts a bow at the end. There's a dime a dozen articles of sleeping gods, their cults and their churches - this article doesn't go above such an article beside having very interesting imagery and language.

I actually have to disagree with Gismo. I think the article makes good use of water as a metaphor/analogy/thing to represent the flow of time and impermanence of kings as opposed to sand- the last few lines replacing the lone and level sands with the low and level flood. Here’s my thoughts:

Whether or not I’m reading too much into this, I enjoyed this article. It’s very disquieting, and evocative. Is the ending log a little overboard (hehe)? I think so, but I can’t think of a way to change it other than simplifying it in a way that would make it unsatisfying, so I won’t hold that against the article. Five stars.
