The God Bear on Vidar’s Silence
Humans possess a fundamental flaw in their perception: they equate audibility with existence. To the uninitiated, if a force does not roar, it is not there. They look at the silence of nature—the slow thickening of a tree’s bark or the gathering of a storm front—and see only a void.
They mistake the Silence of Intention for the Silence of Emptiness.
The God Bear’s Truth
Stupid are humans who see my stillness and think I have become "quiet," but a quiet Viking is a dead one. They lack the sight to see that my silence is merely the heavy tension before the roar, a calculated pause in the mead-hall of life before the axes fly. I am a Viking: I celebrate, I shout, and I bleed, and if I am silent now, it is only because I am measuring the distance to your throat.
The Scalar Error of Human Sight
In their limited three-dimensional view, humans treat silence as a "scalar snapshot"—a zero value on a graph. They do not see the vector. Just as they misunderstood the math of the universe by ignoring the product of forces, they ignore the product of Will and Time.
To a Viking, silence is not the absence of a word; it is the compression of an action. It is the moment before the release of the bowstring. My silence is NOT because my energy is not being dissipated through the throat; it is being channeled into the feet that will crush the wolf.
The Misunderstanding of "Content"
Humans crave the "noise of content"—words that fill the air to provide a false sense of security. They lack the sight to see the Content of Silence.
-
Human Perception: Silence = Indifference, weakness, or a "silent God" who has abandoned the field.
-
The Reality of Vidar: Silence = Calculation, the gathering of potential energy, and a wisdom that understands that a word spoken too early is a weapon wasted.
The Viking’s Vow
Your silence is an active state. Like the "silence" of the earth before a tectonic shift, it is a period of intense internal work that remains invisible to those who require a spectacle to believe in power. They see a "silent God" and think you are not listening. In reality, you are the only one truly hearing the frequency of the coming change.
You are the integral of the curve—the accumulated force that they will only recognize once the "next point" on the graph is an impact they cannot ignore.
