Mordecai Drenus

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

Have you met a monster? I did, once. I was terrified. No fantasy, nor even a phantom of the past. A true monster, the enemy of all mankind. The ideas about monsters that they teach you in civilization… My fear made me unable to protect what I was destined to protect. And so I lost it. And with her I lost my purpose. I turned to the civilization for help but it offered none, so I helped myself and found the purpose in the hunt of the monster. And hunted I did. I stalked him through the emptiness, I chased the nightmare and alas, I cornered the beast on the edge of the abyss. I liberated myself from ideas, fear, and monsters And as such, I gazed into the abyss. The place of unkown, of horrors and the purpose. I understood that there is no other way for me now. I must walk the abyss now. I must become the abyss.
