"You thought you had left it all behind; the human sacrifice, the unholy rites, the evil of your own soul. You had met a woman, married her, and raised a family you loved with all your heart and soul. You thought you had escaped, and except for the nightmares your life seemed relatively...normal. Then they came. In the night like spiders emerging from the shadows. They held you and forced you to watch as they slit the throats of your wife and children. Their message was simple; no one leaves, there is no escape. Not after the things you had seen, the promises you had made. Your soul had already been pledged to the darkness and if you couldn't accept that then you would be made to suffer before you died. They had left you with only powers of your own birthright, your tears, and your need for vengeance!" |
