If you have lived for as long as I have, you would know why I do not show myself to just anyone. I do not pretend to care what the mortals think I am. They have called me a god and they have called me a demon. They say I am good one century and then evil the next. Right now it is socially acceptable to call me an evil spirit. Decades ago I had temples, cities devoted to me. Ah, how times change.
I have influenced the rise empires and I have seen their crumble. I have dealt out blessings and curses. I have told a man I am his sworn servant, and given another the means for his demise. I am the shadow on the edge of a flickering candle, waiting to see when or if it will go out.
I have found men are weak. They are so easily influenced, one way or another and are so simple minded. However, every now and then, I will find a rare individual that will do not what I want, but what they want.
This tells me I am no god. Those who follow me assume I want only what I tell them, as a god would. Few are so open minded to think of; I only say what I wish to say. They may fill in the blanks and do as they wish. It makes things far more interesting. But alas, those are few and far between, and so I am on the margins of history. Only coming in when something sparks my interest.
As I have said before, there are times I enter and am worshipped and times when I am scorned. This means nothing to me. All I care about is finding that one person I may follow, advice and stack the decks in their favor, while they make they choices and they chose their destiny.
I do not pretend to know all the twists and turns this world will go through. There are things that are inevitable but the angle to which they approached, is a mystery. For most it is predictable, but even I have been surprised.

I am neither good nor evil, I am only the Outsider.
