Swordbinder

_________________________________________________________

Swordbinder has a great burden on his shoulders.
Since that cursed day, that day was? In the past it was? Or in the present? I don't remember anymore....
He made a big mistake. A big big mistake!
One of the kind you will never forget and that will haunt your nightmares for the rest of your life, crawling in you subconscious slowly eating your mind away...
Away

But let's start from the beginning:
Since he can remember he knows he is a creature that since "birth" is cursed, the result of an experiment, a forbidden experiment, that one that contains Hybris.
His parents are in contact with the shade and alchemy, the forbidden art of alchemy!
He was dropped in the dead of night right in the nowhere. Nowhere.
His ?mother? Flew away.
It was dark, dark and cold. It was night.
He doesn't remember a lot, it was traumatic, but one thing surely he remembers that sweet voice luring him into the cavern. He entered, and found a dragon clan that welcomed him, he decided to stay there and ad days passed he noticed their peculiar behavior:
They are all smiling, day and night, and never stop. The clan lives in the dark, no one of them ever goes out of the sun. Noseless there is always food and water, but he never saw one of them eat near him. They don't talk, but whisper sweetly.
They always look at him, always.
But it's the first time in his life he feels welcome and actually someone cares about him.
The time goes by, it goes so slowly... Or so fast? Not seeing the sun or outside since Time, he lost completely the feeling of it.

His body grew bigger and bigger, every Ince he grew, the clan seemed to smile more, as they where waiting for something.

One day, there was an irruption of something in the cavern, he is scared of the running noises and manages to run deeper and deeper into the cavern system and for the first time in years? He was alone, no one was looking and smiling at him because no one of the clan followed him, it was as he could breath now, not feeling this pressure that he grew up with.
Where is his clan? He looked around and saw old ruins along the walls, following them he saw an ancient temple sculpted into the walls, something in there was calling for him, and sweet whispering voice he knew so good! He got in, looked around and in the pitch black he saw something shining. His curiosity grew bigger, he got nearer and nearer and looked closely: A Jar.
An ancient black jar, wait black? Why is it shining? It can't be. He touches the jar and in that moment he hears thousands of voices whisper to him softly to open the jar and release them! As it was hypnotically he does what they say.
At begging it's difficult, but as strong imperial he manage it:
He opens the jar.

The ancient jar, that was sealed away, sealed away from the Lightwaver and Shadowbinder them-selfs. Forbidden things where hidden there, in this ancient temple, things that should never go out anymore. Things that crawl in the dark, everywhere and nowhere. Things that whispers sweetly luring creatures to their death.

He opened it. All went black.

It was Done.

As he reopened his eyes, he finds himself in the middle of his clan plaza, or what seems like it, all is abandoned. No dragons are near, there is only rotten things, the smell is devastating, everywhere there are bones, bones of dead dragons.
As terrified as he was, he looked at them, they seemed so familiar, their skull forms...
His clan! He recognize everyone of them!
But, but why are all dead?
Where are the intruders?
Where is the temple?
Where is the jar?

He looks around and realizes, as he sees a big inscription on the wall:
"TO WHOM GETS HERE: GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! THE CAVERN IS CURSED! FORBIDDEN THINGS ARE WAITING HERE IN THE DARK, SMILING AND LOOKING AT YOU! FOR YOU ITS NOT TO LATE! ESCAPE FROM THIS HELL! IM TRAPPED HERE. I DIDN'T MANAGE TO OPEN THE FORBIDDEN JAR, FORTUNATELY NOW I KNOW, BUT IM TRAPPED NOW.... DK KSK JRJ HSN ..."
His mind understands now: the bones of his clan comrades where all the time bones!
They never touched him, they never got near him! What he saw all the time was an illusion! It was all
An illusion.
A flashback occurs:
He remembers what his parents where speaking one night, they where searching for the ancient dark temples, to study the cursed jar and it's strange energy...

He ...
He opened that jar!

He did Hybris. He let THEM go.

He released something...
Something that should not be out here.

But thanks to him it is now !

Why every dragon he met, doesn't want him?
His parents jeet him away...
The clan, was never a clan...

He was all the time ALONE

Tears come up...

Alone in the dark, lured by their forbidden voices.

He is so stupid he thinks!

Now it's to LATE.
To late
To late.

He runs out with his last energy.
The light hurt so much in his eyes.

He runs and runs and since then, he travels around in Sornieth, never stopping, as he is chased by something, something that will never let him go.

His subconscious know, he did it on purpose.
His concious could never accept it.

He is torn apart.
The voices are back, whispering and luring him in the dark. But now they are inside his mind.
Tearing him apart.
