Eternity Void
It is said that knowledge is the one true and timeless power one can obtain in this world.When asked the question, most would say that they would wish for power, or status, there are even those who would wish for all the knowledge life has to offer. Knowledge gained through the means of wishing, can never contain the strength of knowledge gained through experience. On the outskirts of a small town in a tiny house lived a bookworm named Tobias. He craved knowledge, with a collection of books and encyclopedias rivaling that of the largest libraries in the world. Unfortunately for Tobias he was faced with his own mortality, he was a meek and scrawny man, and knew that his dream of becoming the most knowledgeable person in all of creation. One dark knight Tobias was sitting at home alone reading by the candle light, as he read he failed to notice a shadow falling upon the room. As he finished his reading for the night he closed his book and looked up before him stood a massive cloaked figure so large in fact that its head almost touched the 9 foot ceiling of the library. Tobias trembled with fear and fell to the ground; the beast let out a deep chuckle that could put hear into the hearts of the bravest men.
“Tobias I have heard your please and come to you,” growled the being
“Wh...Hoo...Who are you,” stuttered Tobias
The cloaked figure lowered its hood, revealing a long fanged horned face, it six glowing eyes pierced the dark.
“My name is not important, what is important is that I have come to make your wildest fantasies come true,” answered the beast.
“Anything…. Interesting…. one typically would wish for power or knowledge, but I am not that simple, I must first ask what you seek in return for granting my wish.”
The beast chuckled,
“All I ask for is that upon my request that you come to my aid if I am to ever need your services.” It replied
“Those terms seem acceptable; My wish…….My wish,” Tobias began trembling with excitement, “I wish that I can experience all that the universe has to offer.”
“Gooooood then we have an agreement,”
With that the beast disappeared and everything in Tobias’s world went black. Tobias fell into a strange dream like state he stood above a ledge staring into an abyss; an invisible voice echoed “I Decree My Immortal Soul to the Overlord Nulgath.” The name sounded familiar but he just couldn’t place it. Before him stood a shadowy figure with jet black skin, clad in gunmetal armor that seemed to grow from its body. The armor was riddled with glowing gold runes in a language that was unknown to Tobias. The creature stood nearly 8 feet tall and was armed with sharp golden claws that looked as if they could slice flesh from bone with ease. On either shoulder shown two golden hourglass runes, etched into the very armor that protects it. Its eyes glowed bright gold, and looked as ageless as the heavens themselves. In its right hand it held a massive bound scroll that gave off and air of mystery. From the waist down it wore a cloak that covered up till its feet and two long bands of cloth connected at either side of the belt trailed behind it and seemed to float as if dancing on the wind. The creature and Tobias moved as one it was as if he were looking into a mirror; the voice echoed once more but with the ferocity of a hurricane, “FOOLISH MORTAL, GREED HAS DRIVEN YOU DOWN A DARK ROAD, AND NOW YOUR SOUL IS MINE, AND NOW YOUR REWARD, YOU SHALL BECOME MY NEWEST VOID BREED, YOU SHALL BE AS AGLESS AS THE STARS, AND YOUR WISDOM WILL BE AS ENDLESS AS THE ABYSS, YOU SHALL BE KNOWN FROM HENCE FORTH AS THE VOID BREED OF ETERNITY.” The crushing reality of his situation finally hit Tobias, he had traded away his very freedom for a fleeting dream, greed had consumed him and that is what had drawn Nulgath to him. All was lost and when Tobias’s gaze retuned to the Void before him but it is standing where Tobias once stood. It smiled, and Tobias knew it was over he belonged to the abyss now and there was no turning back.
News of the Great Fiends Soul Harvest travels far and wide, tales of fiendish monsters ripping soul from flesh, and dark void breeds massacring thousands, and several golden eyed fiends wander these battle fields using their power to age combatants till they are nothing more than dust, though not the strongest of the voids, using their knowledge they are the most clever creatures lurking the harvest, waiting and planning the precise moment to strike, ripping you apart at all points in your timeline, and collecting your soul from the shattered remains.
Knowledge is power my friends.
~Infinity
