[For Haseo, it's less "not taking care of oneself" and more "backlash from power overuse". It's all the same when you're actually sick, though.]
All right. Hmm, let's see...Right. [She clears her throat.] So. On my world, there are eight main gods. The Eight Gods of Caerleon Medb, they're called. Now, a lot of this information's been lost to history, but they say that beyond the Eight, there's one more deity. A kind of over-deity, I guess, known only as "the Will of the World."
Back a couple millennia or so, I guess, the Will was kept in a deep slumber and not allowed to wake up or keep the world in order. As a consequence, the Eight Gods ran wild, acting more like demons and wreaking havoc on the world. One day, a mystic and allies traveled to where the Will was trapped in its slumber. Though it took great time and effort, and the sacrifice of one of the mystic's allies, eventually the Will was awoken.
[There's a chuckle.]
Not much of a story, is it? The funny thing is that a cathedral outside my home town is said to have had a statue of the Will on its altar, once. It's gone now, so who knows for sure?
