Alexander D'Niras's Story

Alexander D'Niras rested a hand on his sheathed katana as the dark voice beckoned him. He was ready for any challenge this new universe could have in store. His goal was simply to gain more power and track down his sister back in his home world. The darkness around him seemed to dance as if it were a surrounding stream of water. His wild white hair was tugged by the powerful gust that guided the darkness but he showed no fear in his piercing blue eyes. His expression was a calm yet determined one and he was not going to allow himself to be finished here when power was so close. "Come out. Do you not here me? I SAID SHOW YOURSELF TO ME NOW!" His voice echoed along the walls of the chamber of hate but it was soon drowned out by the sound of suffering souls. "Hmph..just another magic trick. I have no time for this game. There is a power out there waiting for me." He quickly withdrew his katana Blue Moon and with one movement the blade created a powerful burst of both power and wind that caused the darkness to fade. Sadly he still found himself within the chamber of hate. He knew it would only be a matter of time before he found a way out and he would be one step closer to obtaining the power he so deeply desired.

A sinister presence lurked in the shapeless shifting shadows of the chasm as the strange and foreign being traversed the dark and forbidden halls of the temple. Dark cultists shambled passed him, piercing him with their grey soulless eyes. Heinous abominations born of pure madness and hatred stalked the halls and leered at the intruder with murderous hunger. They merely watched the man as he ventured deeper into darkness incarnate, held back by a wordless command that resonated from the very cores of their beings.

Through some machination of ancient and forgotten magic, the adventurer was able to break the seal of the massive gates and tread the sacred ground beyond. As the floor opened like the maw of a great worm, writhing tendrils of smoke and shadow snaked from the chasm below, hungering for what little light illuminated the room. The living darkness snaked over the adventurer's feet, beckoning him with a wordless voice that tugged from the murkiest corner of his soul.

"Come forth, adventurer..." echoed the feeling of dread that traced his spine like Death's icy talon. "Descend into the Abyss. Embrace the the All Consuming Darkness, from which all things are born and all things return... Descend into the shadows - ravenous for the light and the stars and the dust of the earth. Descend into the living darkness that is your own soul and discover your true potential... and power."
