Trezlan is gone, its something I expected, but had not accounted for. Here I am writing a journal like my father and I suspect like his father. But now they are both gone. Trezlan "ascended" as he called it after he stopped the machine war, and dad is just gone. I hoped maybe with his god powers he'd bring back my father, but sadly he said that was a misuse of the powers he had been granted. I honestly believe he didn't have the power.
Me personally I quietly faded. No one wanted anything to do with me anyway. My father despite being our greatest leader, was not thought of fondly. His decisions now being second guessed, were thought of as the reason we didn't succeed and had to rely on the power of a supposed God (despite Trezlan saving us all everyone suspected he had no power and had merely called off his own machines through some kind of bargain). With the major threat dealt with tribalism took up among our people. Factions formed, and old hatred came back to the surface.
I knew the forces of life would do this, but I had hoped it wouldn't happen so soon. Pretty much a year after the war was over the galaxy was almost back to its old hating itself self. I personally was right along with it. I fell into a bit of a depression. Started taking any job that promised some combat, and that's how I wound up on a small colony on the edge of populated space drinking in a run down bar. And thinking back on it, I wish I'd just kept on drinking.
