How does one defeat an enemy so much more powerful than them?
Some say use strategy, intelligence, and deception to take them down.
These people, bless their optimistic hearts, would lie dead before they even knew it if they were facing an Early Creature.
Their last thought would probably be "I should have dodged" as their existence was retroactively edited to have never included that thought.
What did intelligence do against something that could eradicate a Wheel of Existence with a yawn?
You could be the smartest being in your Fold, have memorized every strategy text ever written, and still end up as a footnote in someone else's story. "Here lies Gerald the Brilliant. He had seventeen contingency plans. But the Early Creature sneezed."
Strategy and deception? How monumentally difficult was it to deceive something that could see through the fundamental structures of existence?
