Title: The Unraveling. (Let it begin~)
Post by: ~Neri on October 11, 2014, 11:20:02 pm
Spoiler: A note from Kevak~ (click to show/hide)

This is a story, a story of old times lost and new times begun. A story of Titans and Gods. Dragons and Men. Mortal and Undying. Empires rising and Dynasties burning in the sands of time.

Of Magic and Mystery. Of Blade and Bone. Of Ancient Powers long lost yet found again.

This is a story of a little wolf. Lost amid the chaos of the times.

This is the story of a Vampire. Who's only desire was to live again, given new purpose as his world crumbles around him.

This is a story of a Knight. Cursed to live a lifeless life for all eternity.

A story of a Maiden who hides much from her fellows and more from herself,

A story of a Mage and a Mare, and a lesson he will never forget.

A story of a long dead Lich. His Life spent seeking immortality, friends and family and love ignored in his chase, his Death a miserable Unlife devoid of what he really wanted.

This is a story of a Chieftain and his Daughter. The Chieftain doing his best to protect the last of his family and tribe, closing off to outsiders in fear, refusing aid and help when what they need most is just that.

This is the story of the End Times.

This ancient world has endured many hardships on behalf of its people.

And it slowly. Oh so very slowly.

Beginning to Die.

This is the story of the Unravelling.

And what a story it will be.


Who shall we look at first?

The Wolf? The Vampire? Maybe the Maiden or the Knight? Perhaps the  Mage and his Mare? Or the Chieftain and his Daughter? Or mayhaps we should listen to the Lich?

You decide~

Lich.

You are now the Lich.

You have been alive for what feels like Aeons now.

It's quite a lonely existence.

In Life you seeked Immortality.

In Death However.

You watched empires Rise.

Just as often as the Fell.

Crumbled in the passage of Time.

You have Seen Gods Ascend and Fade.

You have seen the world Burn.

You know the patterns of Time.

There have been Signs.

The Signs of the End Times.

All must crumble to Dust with the passage of Aeons.

This World is No Different.

Dust to Dust.

I sit on my ancient throne. The Skeletal Hordes Rattle in their sleep of the Ages.

I Rise.

And they rise with me.

These are the End Times.

We March.

The creaking and rattling of dry old Bones fills the hall as legions of skeletal warriors clamber to their feet within the age old Necropolis. The howls of banshees can be heard for miles as the ghouls and ghosts of the ancient dead rise from their agelong slumber.

Odd.. I sense additional minds within the horde. Unable to act yet capable of thought.. "Observers. Identify Thineselves."
