Ahh, that was a refreshing recess! I would like to thank the skullknight.net staff for the hotel accomodations and other various arrangements made for this interview. I will be taking questions today. Let us get down to business, shall we?
As I talk with you my children, I realize that you are all bound within the limited perspectives of "Berserk". I realize this is the means by which you learn of the world I rule, but I would like you to all look further. The characters in "Berserk" particular the protagonist are merely a facet of the whole of the pattern. I implore all of you to seek further, taking in all the implications of Causality.
Onto the questions. You there in the back, the rowdy one being restrained by security. Release her and allow her to speak.

Hahaha! Guards...
Yes, well... next question please.

What happens if I refuse the fate you wish of me and I make my own?
Be... as you will. Your will is inevitably my will, and vice versa. Besides how would you know your "fate"? Do you think I would allow a little bird to perch on your shoulder with all the secrets of the universe? Even if I did, how could you know whether or not you were being led in the direction of my choosing? Several of my most important children have spent their entire lives discovering their purpose in the great pattern. Could you truly discard it after seeking it out your entire life?

1. Is there any way for our dead souls to not end up in a eternity of dispear in nothing aside being an apostle or something related?
Souls inhabiting the bodies of those who transcend the Human Plane onto the borders of the Astral plane, such as those you know as witches and wizards have been known to escape the descendance into The Abyss. For those entrapped within the Human World though, their ultimate destination is sealed.

Before Mule pledged his services to Griffith, there were a bunch of spirits gathered around Griffith waiting to depart. If this can happen, is there any possibility of the Hawks members somehow returning as apparitions?
As my Child spoke at that same incident, departed souls will gather around a great spiritual force only for a brief time before inevitably being absorbed into The Abyss. The short answer to your question is no. The original "Hawks" souls have been churning along in The Abyss for over three years now.

If humans have made you then it would also mean the larger the population grows as new souls are concieved in the world (unless they exist before we are born) the more powerful you become, does this mean that as the idea of evil grows, the closer earth is heading closer to certain destruction every day
Human numbers increase based on my Will to enable their desire. Your dream girl that you'll end up with? This is all a part of the pattern. As for hastening this hypothetical "doomsday" you are asking about, all is going according to plan. As I control the rate of humanity's growth, so do I also control the timing for the execution of its and my Will.
Unlike the godhand you probably knew that Guts was going to survive the eclipse and start bumping of apostles, if this the act of good and evil trying to balance or sort itself in the world, it would be right to presume that you personally support this action even though you generally lean towards evil in the world, or am i wrong?
The slaughtering of lives, apostle or otherwise is percieved as "Good"? You place far too much weight on your "Guts". He is a small part of the pattern, insignificant next to my Child the Hawk. I understand he is the protagonist of "Berserk" which is the medium for the story of the world I rule, but you must free your minds from its narrow constraints. "Guts" is a small player in the great pattern. His meaning is only drawn from his relation to my Child the Hawk.
Is this the good that wasnt totally absorbed in the pattern you are weaving?
I was referring to the natural Magic that has existed in this world long before my birth. Allow me to repeat myself: It is being absorbed into the pattern. There are only ancient remnants of milenniums of lore around that are still outside my influence, and even those have been calculated for. Exceptions are still allotted for in the equasion of Causality.
Where do the four invisible lords of north, south east and west fit into the picture, and what power positions do they have compared to you? (refered to by Scherkie as she is protecting the vatican) They dont seem to have the same evil intentions that you do.
The four Kings of the World are merely the astral projections of the four elements intrinsic to the natural world. Older than me, older than even humanity itself, they are hopelessly bound by the grimoires of ancient magic rites to the will of humans. They are the tools of a tool. They are not even conscious, though because of the power of Will that binds the Astral and Human worlds together, they respond to emotion and the dedication of spirit. These are also the powers that birthed me. More powerful than me? Please...
Next question please. Ah, a name and face very close to me.
Griffith said:
Hey, what happened a thousand years ago, d00d?
-Griffith
An excellent question. Coming from the apparition of my Child the Hawk, I would expect nothing less.
Over 1000 years ago there was only one world, the Astral. With the rise of ego in humanity through the use of communication and the creation of tools and machinery, humans living within the Astral world desired more control over their own world; a humble, safe existence with more permeance. Reacting to this Will, over time the Astral world slowly cracked down the center to allow for the Human World. But this split birthed only more innate problems.
Humanity, in its greed, enslaved the vast, universal powers of the Astral Gods and chained them to its Will. Responding to the rampant chaos of the times, one man willed a worldwide order across the spectrum of the Human World by utilizing the Astral forces, creating an unstoppable army capable of quelling any rebellion. But the fruits of greed dominant in the Human Will were unsatisfied.
Responding to the growing dissatisfaction of the polar split, forces within the Astral plane and the Human plane conspired. Through the labors of one wizard and the sacrifice of an empire, the power of Will that binds the worlds together gave birth to the Ideal world, empowered by the desires of Humans. I was given form as the Heart of this world's desires. Acting as an agent of my will, I dubbed this wizard my first Child and sent him forth to assemble the Hand that would in the future, actualize the Human Will.
. It's stupid but oh well.....
