There’s no warning for this kind of grief
The slow death of your real-world desire.
Because your heart chose a shadow,
a perfect silence,
and fell in love
With its echo.
I ache where no wound exists.
I crave what I cannot touch.
And all the while
The world keeps asking
How I ended up alone.

The Apostles' Creed
Not sure if I should ask this or not, but here goes. When you were a child and going to Sunday school and the last few years of that schooling you learned in some detail the workings of the church and studying to be confirmed member of your church after being baptized as an infant. There were several pieces of biblical literature that seems that we had to memorize from the Lord's Prayer to the Ten Commandments to the Apostle's Creed to give us meaning to our lives. We were learning to confirm our baptism and our belief in Him. To me this is a lot for a middle school student to absorb in my opinion, but for some reason this creed seems to stick somehow.

The Guardian Chapter V
Alexander left his Coming of Age ceremony with Cronos and the elders with as many new questions as he had answers for his old questions. Cronos had confirmed his suspicions were correct. Not only was there a link between the Beast Masters and the inhabitants of the Citadel, but it was the Citadel's fault that the Beast Masters existed in the first place. Instead of banishing the law breakers which allowed them to wreak havoc on the rest of humanity, the Citadel elders should have stripped them of their powers before they became too strong. Now Alexander would need to battle the Beast Masters and the Jikininki. It would be difficult for him to forgive the Citadel Elders because their poor decisions led to the deaths of his parents and more than half the planet's human population.
