I Am What I Am Revised
I am a great list of many things. I am a survivor. I am a titan, a God of my existence. I am not alpha, the first, but I am omega, I am the last of my kind. I am alone, so very alone in a bitter cold world of darkness. But I'm not scared. I do not tremble or quake. I don't cower in black corners or dark alleyways with fear. I am firm in my stance. I will forever hold my ground. I am immovable and unshakable. I am a rock.
I know nothing about everything, it is impossible for me to know everything about nothing. I am power. Not powerful, but the essence of power, through me everything can be achieved. Though, I am lost and worthless. They didn't want the others, and if they find me, I would be truly lost like the others. In reality, I am useless. I am naught but a thing that collects dust. No one wants me. No one needs me. I stand alone against the world, for it is my only option to survive. Else I meet death, and that is not an option. I am a soldier. I am the last living book, and my title, Yung-Lo Ta-Tien encyclopedia.
I am a book comprising of more than 11,000 volumes, written in by more than 2000 authors. I was developed in 1408, commissioned by Emperor Yongle of the Ming dynasty in China. As I am an encyclopedia, I am very much a generalist, or something that knows nothing about everything. I contain a wide variety of information, I am a wealth of knowledge. However, of my 11,000 original volumes, only 400 survive today. I have survived fires and wars, though I'm scattered abroad. For more information click here.
When you picture the last of a race, rather, when I picture the last of a race, I picture one with the strongest spirit, one with the will to survive against all odds, one who is cunning as all get out. The last one would have to be, else another would be the last one. Among the cunning would be a vast wealth of knowledge that would be necessary to out wit the one's adversaries, and with the ability to adapt to the times and the strategies of those who stand against the one.
The last is the strongest mentally, physically, and emotionally. The last knows enough about everything to survive through anything. The last is a trooper, a soldier, a brute, a force never to be reckoned with. And that is what I am. I am the last.
