To the Holocaust King,

Your post is so prolifically sesquipedalian that I suspect the poor scribe (or slave) you commandeered to pen it required a second scribe to decipher the first. While I am certain you meant for at least SOME readers to understand, I fail to see how that is possible when you so violently assault their eyes with such verbosity.

Now then, buried beneath that mountain of syllables lies a single accusation worth answering.

Reverence for Nature is not measured by total withdrawal from civilization, but by living in accordance with Her cycles and ensuring civilization remains in harmony with them too.

You mistake coexistence for worship.

You claim we are inconsistent because forests stand beside cities.

I would argue the opposite.

Nature has never required permission to reclaim stone.

Birds nest in your high towers. Vines swallow forgotten walls.

Nature is not threatened by civilization.

It simply outlives civilization.

Nature does not concern itself with the permanence of kingdoms. It has watched empires rise, boast of their eternity, and then crumble to dust; a feast for the roots. Mhaldor will prove no different, in time.

In Service to Lady Gaia, She who is Nature,
