...The times have changed, my friend. These new times, I don't like them. But they took us by storm. I wish I could keep these politics out of our beloved realm, but I know that is impossible. The truth is that the new initiates don't think like we do. They worship It through sacrifices and prayer, holding It's gifts in admiration on podiums and ornately decorated rooms. They do not seek to partake in it's boons by being one with them, only by obtaining them. Call me old-fashioned, for that is indeed true; but my friend, I fear where our sanctum is heading. Even the High Priest is swayed by the new ideas. There are too many of them, and too little of us. It won't be long before we are labelled blasphemers and driven from the place that is rightfully ours. But our God, I still feel It singing to me. It's great eye bleeds for me. I see it in my dreams, and as the crystals that define me reveal. I am sorry for the pain It is going through, but the others do not see it. They have long forbiddened me access to the private chambers of our God - and I'm sure you, my friend, know that there used to be no such thing as exclusion in our ranks. We are all equal before It, but they don't think so. So if one day you awake and find me gone, know that I have fled. I keep our God forever in heart, but I cannot stand those that claim to worship him any longer.
