The Story

There was once a traveller, he ran and ran for all he was worth. This traveller was a terrified fellow who saw many a horror while running but something was chasing him and that scared him more than anything. He had once worked with it but times changed for the traveller.

This traveller who kept running met three others on his travels who were all running from the same thing. They joined forces and were powerful allies and these four sealed this something that they were all running from. In doing so they are separated, once again this lonely traveller walked the worlds.

No longer running he just wondered and wondered, he met many who tried to unseal the darkness that was sealed but none were successful.

In his wonders the traveller found a universe where time didn't exist, but space did. I universe of permanent stasis. He was petrified, this universe was scarier than any horror before seen. What lay there was the unknown.

This traveller sealed this universe quickly and returned to where he had found the first horror. This traveller had become mad from the timeless dimension and opened up the horror to sacrifice himself to it.

The three who had helped him before felt the change in the seal and tried to stop the traveller but the traveller tricked them. He used the three friends to unseal the darkness by literally siphoning off their life.

The seal broke and the traveller readied himself on a pedestal to be sacrificed. All that was left of this once great horror were one, it had died from starvation years beforehand.

He collapsed but looked around to see his once friends dead and bones of the dead in front of him. The pedestal was engraved with the writing, the greatest evil lies here. This traveller laughed, he was the greatest evil.

A spider crawled next to this traveller and with scorn asked if he wanted another chance.

The traveller was crying, he didn't want another chance. He looked at the spider and begged for the death he could no longer have.

The spider asked why he didn't find a knife to end it himself.

The traveller laughed, he could not. In his younger years he had made sure that no knife could kill him.

The spider then announced that he had already found a way to relieve himself of life, the place beyond time.

This traveller made one last pilgrimage to this place, meeting many, always stopping to help. Seeking redemption for his sins.

It is said that the traveller never found the place beyond time but is still wondering aimlessly trying to find it.
