Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

Koschei looked into the void.

He looked into the Vortex.

He looked into Time itself.

And he heard the drums.

Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

They called to him.

They hurt him.

But they promised he'd be fine.

They promised power.

Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

He resisted.

They didn't go away.

They didn't fade.

He suppressed them for a while.

Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

Long enough to be friends with Theta.

But everyone betrayed him.

And so he let go.

He descended into insanity.

Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

The Master was born.

Koschei died.

Theta lost a brother.

The drums consumed all.
