The mumbling was very incoherent, due to the thickness of the stone wall, but Kira was able to make out a couple of sentences and words.

"So, will you be coming to the gathering this evening, my child?" asked a calm voice.

"I'd rather not", said another. "Those folks of 'the Servant' are roaming around in the north-eastern sections of the Ratway and our meetings are being held dangerously close to them."

"Listen, I don't like them anymore than anyone else, but the fact remains that if we do not make sure to worship his ferocity and his splendor he will be coming for us next."

"What... You mean... the Servant?"

"No, I mean 'him'. Why do you think he has returned, my child? He has come to exact vengeance upon us all. Life is considered the Gods' greatest gift to mankind. Would you rather throw it away by standing in his path, or would you keep it by submitting to his evil? There is no shame in the latter, if it means survival."

The voices started to fade away in the distance as their footsteps echoed in the hallways.

"I... I have never though of that."

"Reflect over it, my child. I don't say that you have to like what he is doing. But he has indeed returned. Tend to your family and worship him accordingly, and maybe he will leave us believers in peace? If not, he might come for us like he did with those other people. That young girl, that writer and that..."

"Worker for the Servant", finished the other voice. "I heard." There was a short pause. "Why do you think he has come back?"

"This is indeed a mysterious universe, my child. The world holds so many dark secrets one wouldn't dare to count. Staring too long into the abyss might cause your mind to get used to the fact that we are all surrounded by eternal night. He has returned... but even the wisest cannot foresee why... Perhaps as a punishment for humanity's sins?"
