~Prologue~

Sin. We all do it. Some of us more than others, but there is no one alive that is immune to its allure. The dictionary says that sin is a transgression of a religious or moral law. I don't consider myself to be a religious person, nor do I fancy myself as godlike. My morals have been skewed by the years of abuse I have endured at the hands of my so-called friends and family, those people who have tried to teach me right from wrong. But, how do they know which is which? They themselves are more guilty than most of sinning.

I myself prefer the other definition of sin - something regarded as shameful, deplorable or utterly wrong. That's what they all are - wrong. They look at me and regard me as an innocent, someone who could never see the bad in anything. Little do they know. I watch them, all of them, day in and day out - the truly mindless. I know what goes on in their heads. I know the things they do for their own pleasure when no one else is watching. But I am. I watch. I listen. I learn.

Soon…very soon they'll learn, too. They'll pay for their mistakes, their sins. I'll make sure of that. They'll pay for all the times they took advantage of me and the others like me - the weak, the helpless, the innocent. They'll pay for what they do to themselves, and the rest of the world. When I'm done, they'll understand the meaning of sin - and the price you have to pay for it. When I'm done, the whole world will know - and they'll never sin again.

I stand and slowly walk along the top row of the arena, where I've been watching them. They don't know I'm here. To them, I am as inconsequential as a speck of dust, until they want something from me, or they want to humiliate me. But no more. As I walk through the hallways, looking at them, I have to smile. For only I know the truth. But soon, they will too. I am the goodness, I am the light. I will send them back to their darkness and make my world a better place.
