My Curses

Day 6000 of the 6th circle:

 

Time has passed since the last time I wrote something, both my memories and part of my knowledge were transcribed in this book, I hardly notice here, in oblivion, when one moon ends and another begins; but I don't care about this anymore. Next, and due to the little knowledge about my non-being that I have witnessed throughout my past travels, I will take the liberty of writing down and trying to detail a list of my curses, those negative effects placed on me, both by Oblivion self as by events experienced throughout my travels.

 The first, and most powerful to deal with is the curse of Solitude: this was imposed by Oblivion himself, at the instant of defeating the previous Lord of Oblivion. To ensure my total fidelity to this, I have been totally denied any affective bond with the beings that I could meet, both in an intimate relationship and in the formation of a family; Regarding friendships, these have been allowed as long as they are beneficial for Oblivion, which leads me to the analysis and study of other beings on "Encounter and Relationship" both passively and actively within the same point, that does not separate my concentration about Oblivion itself.

 

 The second curse imposed on me by Oblivion, is the so-called "Captivity": After having defeated the previous Lord of Oblivion, Oblivion has become my prison of existence, as well as my being happened to belong to this plane with no possibility of belonging to no other, Oblivion and I became one.

 

 The next two curses were imposed as collateral damage after I had managed to release some of my mental energy, projecting it as a shell that would allow me to observe, study, analyze and relate (as long as it does not conflict with the Soledad curse) with other beings. These two are Oblivion and Temporary Consumption:

 The first of these two is as simple as it is complex; As my essence is only a trace of mental energy, it manifests itself through the senses of the other being; that is, seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting me are connected with the mind of the receiver, in short, my being ceases to exist for the other when, both, the other and myself, we lose or forget to the other being; which means that neither of us will ever remember seeing or meeting each other.

 The second, Temporal Consumption, is linked to the consumption of mental energy necessary to travel through different planes, drastically reducing my lifespan in a certain place.

 

 My last two curses are the simplest, which go back to moments before my arrival in Oblivion, one of the very few knowledge that I maintain before my arrival there; these two are "Honesty" and "Ambrosia". Although these are not curses, they can be considered as such due to the effect they have:

 The first, Honesty, as its name says, does not allow me to tell a lie, even for good reason or motive; my honesty always alienates everyone around me, by not saying something they want to hear.

 The last of these, Ambrosia, is the result of the consumption of a special nectar created for the palate of the ancient gods. The flavor of ambrosia is as delicious as it is unique and powerful; a being, who is not a god, is only allowed to consume only a couple of drops of it. But due to its captivating taste, I consumed more than I should, which not only burned my palate, but all that food and drink that I ingested would turn to ashes in my mouth, losing all essence of it.
