“They slumber now, for a time. There must be a portion of rest before universe-altering undertakings can be achieved. Someday those of old will awake, birthed by the giants of ancient days. They come to refine our world into their own golden age. Of course they don’t have much concern about what that means for us. Tread lightly as not to disturb them, for we know not who can resist their call.”
A light breeze gently called the leaves downward from the mountain trail as numerous birds assured us heaven was canvasing the view from the top. I gently placed my foot upon the next rock, as if navigating an overstocked china shop. Grandma noticed and attempted to calm my nerves, “Let it not concern you too much darling, I tell you these things so you realize their importance when the times come. I’ve traveled this path numerous times and never impeded their quality of sleep.”
We don’t actually heed warnings until the consequences start rolling across the scene. It sorta defeats the point of warnings. That’s not great for our self-preservation since we can’t convey the horrors as the actual horrors they are. Simply, The fear must be experienced to be feared.
