Intro

Most people believe that there's nothing dangerous left in the world, nothing that government or people in power can't handle. The truth is, those people are more of a threat then the original danger. They spread things that shouldn't ever havebeen uttered, they take on matters that should have been left untouched, and they learn things that were forgotten for a reason.

Maybe it was ignorance that doomed us all, perhaps not. Either way, I don't know how much longer I have till they catch me, but I'll spend the last moments of my freedom writing, as it's the only thing I can do to spread the warning. I do hope that there are people around to find this, but I prey they do not read it, then it's too late for them…and he will know. Though…something must be said or else I fear my free life was a complete waste…for this whole ordeal was after all, somewhat my doing. I beg you not to forgive me however, for there is nothing now left to forgive for. If any rebels still remain, I commend you.

As for me, I suppose I deserve everything that's happened. I was, after all, extremely foolish. I thought I was strong and dependent enough to finish things on my own…but all in vein it seems. I traveled to his kingdom of emptiness. Slaying there the mystic creature of light in the wood of innocence. In final betrayal I shall hang forever in his lust stained gallows…and it is entirely my fault.

No matter how uninfluential you were, no matter how unemotional you acted, or the beliefs you held so high, you could not stand against his will. There's not much you can do, but fear and follow when you are a Dragon's Shadow.
