Scenes Out Of Time

Post by Nightflare »

Some time ago....

It had been many years since Nightflare shifted his tower into the Hall of Worlds to seek answers. Since Axx had vanished and he found himself cut off abruptly from the Chaos that flowed through him, something had just not been right. He had felt himself slowly slipping into madness and he had needed to find answers.

For decades, he searched world after world for the key to fixing the ever-growing instability of his soul, without success. Plagued by nightmares, when asleep or awake, he felt the madness gripping tighter as the years went by. He knew he couldn't last much longer.

It's what brought him to this desolate world to begin with. The landscape and denizens were almost pulled from his own feverish mind, only real and more terrifying. He barely survived retrieving the scroll, but he managed it.

The scroll existed in the legends and lore of a hundred worlds. It was a spell, a ritual. Through stories, he had puzzled out that this ritual could remove the madness of a person and grand serenity.

The complexity of the ritual was well beyond anything he had ever performed. The slightest error could erase his tower, and even the world he was on, from existence.

This was terrifying ground, but he could feel the madness threatening to take over so palpably that he had no choice but to try.

The translations of what the ritual did were vague....separation, sundering. It should work.

As he shook the doubts from his mind and spoke the last syllable of the incantation, his world exploded then everything went black.
