I have returned. Many of you have, I am pleased to see, not even noticed that I was gone. Warfare has become a way of life for you. The need to conquer...the need to vanquish. The need to take those who do not see things your way, and make them do so. You have kept contention and bloodshed alive and well.

Others have taken war to the level of an art. In you, who have disassociated yourselves from the base need for a -reason- to have war, do I look upon with much gladness, for you have taken steps closer to My favour, even in My absence.

Where I have been is of some little consequence. Spreading the art of war abroad, for as surprising as it may seem, not all beings see the need for My gift. Their numbers have, one can rest assured, dwindled.

But hearken ye who shall follow My banner. I have come again unto the realms of man. I have paid homage to mighty Sarapis, and now I lay claim to My sphere. War is again Mine, and all those who wish to know the true meaning of that word...come to Me. Follow Me.

Penned by my hand on the 7th of Chronos, in the year 236 AF.
