Perpetual Knight (10 ratings) by Will Antilles
Page 2 of 3 The reasons for the StarNight first appearance is many yet there seem to
be no truth about them to say only the StarNight knows is an understatement.
The
scroll state that on the StarNight first trip here it lost a great battle to
who
or what I don’t know. The myth is somewhat vague it does not tell about the
second coming here on earth but about the StarNight herself. According to the
myth she cannot be harmed cannot be touched for she brings the purity of
oblivion to the world. The Apocalypse itself wrote in the sand scrolls of time
"if only she would ask I would obey, if only she desired I would please but she
does not." Even something with such infinite power and might serves my master.
Now according to the prophecy the StarNight would consume the heavens and the
earth for all eternity. Several of the ministries thought the prophecy stops
there many more were afraid even to acknowledge it. I alone sought the rest of
the prophecy and what I found frightened me to the very core of my being. What
I
found went something like this "those who oppose him shall suffer, those who
shriek in horror shall no pain, and those who condemn him shall answer to that
which is not holy." The remainder of the page I read from revealed more about
myself than I ever knew existed. "The one bearing his mark shall doom us all,
she shall be his champion destroying all which stands in his way." I could
hardly believe what I was reading so I read on "She shall be a ray of
everlasting darkness and for who ever reads this is the one!" I am the one I
thought it almost overwhelmed me but I persevered. In deciphering the riddle it
was obvious describing me: ray of everlasting foretold of the name I would
bear:
Rachel of Everlyn. The darkness describes both my soul and my place of birth
Darkhelm. A sharp slap across the face that nearly took the head off of the
servant brought her full attention to her master. The handprint set into her
flesh was deep and it stung like a thousand needles all at once. The StarNight
nodded and with that he vanished from sight leaving the woman alone with her
thoughts. I am sorry the story of my origin will have to wait my seven tasks I
must perform without haste. As you can see my master knows all or most things
he
allowed me to indulge in his chronicle of conquest yet he did not allow me to
forget what is important. The seven tasks are much like you seven deadly sins
except on a far greater scale. Strolling to the other side of the room Rachel
of
Everlyn approached a spot on the wall and it opened up and swallowed her whole.
The air shimmered the space around the disturbance parted and spat forth a
creature, the Everlyn. As the creature walk through a nameless town in a
nameless place the people stared in awe. A man who worshipped such creatures
bowed offering homage with that the creature leaped onto the man and began to
consume him. A blood-curdling scream came forth from the willing victim and the
creature cooed in response. Within a second the man was no more and only Rachel
of Everlyn remained. Smacking her lips Rachel smiled to herself "that was very
satisfying, you see it taste better we the person is willing." Don’t look at me
that way I needed that it tastes very fresh it filled me like never before he
was true to the cause. I shall clear something up before we move on I ate his
soul and consumed his spirit the body discarded into another plane of
existence.
To perform the first of the seven tasks I must have abundance of energy,
spiritual and physical. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Will Antilles, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
