To whom ever this may concern, please remember, life wasn't always perfect.

In the year 3310, all everyone heard were shots. Shots and screams and sobs. Sobbing, as their loved ones fell to the ground, bleeding scarlet through their uniforms. All because of war. A silly, silly war, over perfection.

Please remember, reader, that perfection, is a lie. Everybody around you, are living, walking, perfect, little lies.

This was because of G.E.M 666's war. And now all they knew was that he was dangerous. Everything he touched was God. Damn. Dangerous. And there would always be people like him. There would never stop being people like him. An endless, vicious, circle. War, yes, was inevitable, but if someone could exterminate those like him, maybe peace.

That's what the optimist's said at least... I myself, am rather a pessimist. Peace, it's honestly, a rather fickle word, for fickle people. Still though, a burst of joy on everybodies tongues.

So, the Scientist's killed off G.E.M's lineage. Because, obviously, he had made everybody he damn. Loved. Evil. They left no traces, even going as far to hire assassins to do the deed. Make sterile the minds he'd dirtied, and then trapped him. Him and his other six-six-six demons. Heh, it's funny thinking of myself as a demon... Even writing this, I may sound angry, or sarcastic. But certainly not a damned demon! Hmm?

Even then, they trapped him - G.E.M, that is - in the place that gave away his identity. The place where he picked out his number, 666. In the fear landscape that gave him the name of a demon. The spawn of Satan. The Devil's child. Whatever you want to call it. They put him in the place where they went under, because, of the serum.

Yes, "The Serum". They lived through their fears and conquered them. Something developed in The Last War, to make soldiers stronger. I'm sure you've heard of it. Even when you find this, I don't think they would've given up on their precious project. They would probably prefer to cut off their own limb. Yes, I'm probably not even exaggerating.

I'm guessing you didn't know, that it-The Last War, that is- used to be called The War of Perfection? Scientist's changed the name, knowing that they could make everybody believe War wasn't even an option. If they even thought about it, it was quickly squished down. So, bang, and The Last War was created. A fact for history class, hmm? Think that War would never happen again. Think again, my... umm... friend. 

In this diary-kindof-thing, you'll find out enough about me, to be called friends, I think.

Of course the Hub of Scientist's knew people would question why The Serum was shut down, so they continued it. Just bringing the G.E.M's to the trap. Bringing them to the trap, by deciding they were evil from a piece of paper! Which is, you know, totally not maniac. Please, do not let your fate be controlled, just by something so stupid as paper, or burning flesh when you were four. Don't ask, read. Look for love instead. It brings so many more opportunities!

160 years later, in the year 3470, people were still safe. Still peaceful. Still sterile. Everyone else were Science's perfect little guinea pigs, not a trace of demonic personality left. Absolutely bittersweet, knowing their would be no war, as nobody thought of War as part of life, part of the code, or manual.

You know there is something wrong, when people don't do science, to discover, but for the fun of science's impossibilities. 

Or possibilities. My pessimism is really showing through here...

These "demon's", were called G.E.M's because they veered off the usual path people took. School, love, kids, income, death, repeat. But those who wanted differences were Glitches. Errors. Malfunctions. What else could they be except evil, am I right (although, to be honest, I like the name G.E.M's. It makes us sound special!)?

Wrong. I really hope you figured that one out. Ten out of ten, five stars if you said incorrect!

Although, what you have to really wonder is...
Were the G.E.Ms really evil? Is Evil really Evil, or were they just wanting a change? Does that mean people who are unique are evil? Or are we all just G.E.Ms, hiding behind a flawless exterior? Although, I wouldn't call myself flawless, at all. Especially not my misshapen forehead. One side is round, the other is squashed in.

Another part of my quirky charm, eh? 

Through these pages, I'm going to tell you my story, and maybe help you change your mind. If my story doesn't move you, then rebury this diary, and live your life, knowing of that evil. Not everything is as black and white, as you're led to believe. Heh, maybe you could follow in my footsteps?

Not rebellion as such. Just, painting the world with rumours, and colour, and destroying those perfect husks.

Heh, maybe that is rebellion, after all..?

Signed,
Scarlet.
