Man as God Pt. The Final

Magus Delahardy's story is the last one to showcase the supernatural creatures that will be present within the Venge storyline. Perhaps later, I will detail each of them in so much as an outline can afford.

Detailed below is, possibly, the hardest to write about. Not for the emotions involved, but for quite the opposite. Details about Magus in this story have to be broken down in an intellectual manor.

Of all the supernatural creatures in the Venge world, Magus are most believable. And, with them, is the only part of this story that follows my personal beliefs. ANYTHING is possible.

"Well," begins Gregor, "you have learned a bit about the history of our world, our reality, and my current subject for observation. It is about time for you to learn of your own subject."
"The man you have been assigned to has been of great interest to just about every supernatural entity that this world possesses. The Observate's are no different."

"We had a Seeker watching him, but he has not reported in recently and all traces of him have vanished. There is no trace of him save for our own, personal accounts. There is no trail for him at all, and even the Seeker's own parents don't remember him. It is as if he has been removed from reality and all existence."

"The name of that Seeker's target, and your new subject is, Edward Delahardy. And he is the only true Magus we have been able to locate."

"Some background about your subject: Magus Delahardy is a user of magics. And magic is not quite what you may take it to be. In fact, with magic, nothing is as it may seem. In it's rawest form, magic is reality control and shaping."

"God created man in his own image. Exactly. Every man has the ability to become 'god'. PCP induced invulnerability, mind over matter, and world records are just some examples of man's ability to break reality's rules. Every man has the ability to create their own reality."

"Each religion and each 'god' held power equal to the amount of people who worshipped it and them. Not just in the amount of clout that the organisation held. The more someone believes in something, or the more people who believe in it, the truer and more real it becomes. It is an unproven theory that science is in fact nothing more than a belief system. A very difficult to debunk belief system. Man knew the world was flat with earth at it's center."

"It takes the very determined and strong willed to be able to thrust their reality upon the common one. And this is the power of the Magus. This is also the reason angels fell to Lilith's ways during the sundering. God bestowed upon man everything he was/is. God created man like himself but created Angels to be servants."

"It is man's ability to create their own reality but their desire to conform to each other that causes reality to be so static now. It would incredibly difficult for a man to fly, nowadays, unless he possessed a strong enough will, or enough strong willed people who truly believed it. This again is the power of the Magus. Doubt is the Magus's worst enemy. Both in themselves, and in the general populace. But, a true Magus has no doubts about the true nature of our malleable reality."

"Magus use several tools to be able to perform their craft. Being able to explain it away or hide the actual reality shifting are just a couple of their tricks. But, the true power in the Magus are their understanding that nothing is real and everything is possible."

"Even as I tell you this, I find it more difficult to grasp than even the true tale of God. But ours is not to question, but to witness and recite. Edwards previous Observate Seeker was a very experienced one. The fact that you are new but quite skilled gives us hope that you will better be able to perform the task."

"His last known whereabouts find him dockside near port 67. Go and find him. You will need every tool we have provided you as well as every ounce of your training with us to perform your job. And, that is precisely why we chose someone of your abilities."

"You may contact me anytime you feel the need... and do be careful."
