Warring Heaven

by Equimorto

Time-Sworn Hatred

Author's Note:

Of all the fragments, this in particular stands out, and is typically placed at the beginning or more often at the end of translations such as this. It sports a slightly, not markedly, but noticeably different style in its writing, enough so that some speculate it may have to be attributed to a different author, if the assumption that all the remaining ones were made by the same writer is even true. Others merely take the difference in style as symbolising a change of sorts in the narrative, an epilogue perhaps to the potential myth inscribed in the fragments, or a posthumous conclusion reflecting on the events.

well it is definitely correct to speculate a separate author for this section
