《TWIG - The System Can't Save Me, But It Can't Stop Me Either [a gamelit-portal-fantasy-poem by eric river]》Prologue - A reader's guide and gods in thought

INTRODUCTION (READER'S GUIDE)
Welcome to the start of an adventure told in song
it's a format new to royal road but going strong
so let me introduce you to the rhythm of the rhymes
it's a rhythm used in song since very ancient times
First of all, each line has a strict syllable limit
and each line has thirteen spoken syllables in it
1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 x x x
the last 1's followed by 3 silent beats when it is done
Often there's a lead in syllable, like this next line:
but if you read it quick, I think you'll find the rhythm fine
think of it like any 4/4 beat you've heard before
it's a simple structure but it's one that I adore

PROLOGUE
“Have you ever seen a fate so twisted and so wrong?
How could any system let this go on for so long?
Are you sure there’s nothing you can do to help the child?
Shall us gods just sit back while his destiny’s defiled?”
“Calm yourself, you’re not the first to question what’s occurred
This has been the strangest story any god has heard
Never has an entity so foreign to the place
Made itself so known while hidden safely in some space”
“No god could be hidden from the rest of us you fool
All of us are equal here beneath the system’s rule
But if even our great system cannot stop this threat
We may not have seen the worst of what could happen yet…”
System Message
Gods of old would not have dared to speak as you do now
Focus on the task at hand and you’ll survive somehow
The system will resolve this matter, none escape its eyes
Test the system if you take these final words as lies
“Do you really think the system has control of this?
Is there really nothing that the great system could miss?”
“I don’t know, but god or not, I’m dropping this issue
Against the system, there’s nothing even old gods could do”
