Death by Revelation

The truth is a pwerful thing. It can destory the image of someone you looked up. The truth can open you to a larger world you never new exsited. The truth doesnt open your eyes it forces them into submission. Some truths ares so powerful that once its known it can never be undone. A truth that once revealed leaves its scare because the knowledge of it will never leave. To the point that the person they were before the truth and after are two different people. Like the naive person before has died to reborn as someone in the know. Such a revelation was reveal to Ender from Ender's Game. Ender was a child portegy bred for one purpose, War. A war with an alien race. Ender was fighting war with out his own knowledge. He defeated and killed a species. Tricked by his superiors. When it was revealed to Ender and the world, that genocide was commited only Ender questioned his victory. While others celerbrated Ender alone showed concern for the people he killed. Inspite of the the fact that it wasnt his fault he still blamed himself. So he left Earth with his sister only to run into another revelation greater thatn the first. It was revealed to Ender that the enemy he was forced nto kill, was not an enemy at all. The reasons for the war were a misunderstanding. One that couldnt be rectified because thier was no means of communication between the two races. Ender discovered a monument inspired by his dreams. The dream were he found his sister in a castle. In the actual castle held the last hope of the Bugger race. A queen egg. From that day both of Enders killed him. Killed the older him the man that lead men into war. In his stead a peaceful and wise man was born. A speaker for the dead. Who will have more influnice as man of peace that one of war.
