Epilogue

Gilded hallways, statues and a beautiful radiant light shining inside the construct like a warm morning rise yet something set all of that off.

Adorning this environment were the corpses, men and women adorned in golden ceremonial garments were sliced apart with clean red lines across their backs as the smell of what is now stagnant blood filled the stadium and in the midst of it was one man who was left alive.

He was motionless, caught in shock as time seemed to slow down for him as he felt that he was going to lose himself, like he was going to fade away at any minute, it was evident that the many corpses were his masters and he cared for them yet they were rotting in the light of the room while he felt more and more guilt and self loathing.

He wanted to be angry at the Tenno for this, he tried to force those feelings yet all that came was more and more misery as he couldn't let it go until he finally felt anger later on but it was at himself, he felt disgusted, pathetic that he couldn't protect his masters which led to him hating himself.

The man was lost as he simply wandered space, killing anyone who got in his soul searching journey, he was highly equipped and dangerous as he had a bow and throwing knives which could puncture even the toughest of materials along with a cruel scythe which could hack people to pieces without much effort needed yet he still felt like a twisted hollow shell with dead flesh inside of it that deserved to burn.

In the origin system he was the boogieman, he was something to fear as he relied on a mixture of stealth and brute strength to kill his victims, he eventually forgot the guilt of staring into the eyes that were filled with the fear that they were going to die as he ended so many lives over the course of his life.

He was cold, he was the Stalker and the only escape from him is death as he wandered desolate lands and worlds to continue his soul searching journey until word came that the Tenno were awakened, anger sparked into him as he felt the need to kill, he was infuriated and wanted to slaughter them all and his bloodthirsty conquest started when he murdered a Mag Warframe wielding Tenno.

He hacked at her bloody corpse multiple times until her abdomen was just a mutilated and unrecognisable mess but he wasn't satisfied, he wanted to see Tenno blood run as he then ripped her head clean off with a spine attached to it as he accomplished this with his bare hands as he still felt anger yet cold and empty, they didn't remember what happened but in his head they weren't absolved of their sins.

He wanted to make them pay, he was consumed in his own anger and wanted to start a Tenno genocide as he felt that he was doing the solar system a favour by killing the Tenno and occasionally he may lose a battle against them but he knew that more planning was necessary if he wanted to come up against the higher ranked ones.

He has questioned his own motives whether he was simply doing this to avenge the Orokin or to just sate his own animalistic hatered but he waved them aside by just calling them weaknesses in his own journey, he despised the Tenno and he wasn't going to forgive them, he knew that he was going to be more and more empty after this but at this point and time in his life he was just a walking corpse with only sadness, self-lamentation and hatred stitching it together and keeping it moving, it was pathetic really and Stalker knew this all too well but he didn't care.

He was crawling through the vents looking for his target, a Gersemi Valkyr who participated in the killing of Sargas Ruk and was causing havoc on board a Grineer galleon, while he didn't care much for the Grineer scum, it still served as a motive for him as the Tenno returned back to their killing ways, old habits die hard he figured.

Upon reaching following her trail of corpses he finally found her however he then realised that she was at the Grineer ship reactor and was ready to detonate it, Stalkers eyes widened as he realised that this was a new kind of action they were doing, most Tenno shot the coolants yet this Valkyr was using a Tonkor, a grenade launcher as she fired it at the reactor.

He was deep in the heart of ship and was incapable of escaping so he drew his scyth and if he was going to die then he was going to bring someone down with him as he charged at the berserker with his weapon as he then swung it at her with all of his strength yet she blocked it with her bare hands though bright red blood seeped from her palms as she then kicked stalker in the chest and while he was staggered, she grabbed her daggers and unleashed a flurry of strikes faster than the human eye could see on him, the daggers punctured his shields and armour near instantaneously as he felt his guts become mincemeat but he called on upon his void energy and teleported away from her but she charged at him with both of her daggers ready.

Grunting as more blood seeped out of his deep wounds, his warframe usually stopped the bleeding by growing over the wound and acting as a second skin until it heals but it only stops the bleeding and not the actual damage done to the body yet this was going to take a long time and he didn't carry any med kits on himself.

Thinking quickly, he threw five of his throwing daggers and all of them hit their mark as they borrowed deep into their target but she ignored them as she felt worse things in the corpus testing facilities as she drew upon her most feared ability, Hysteria as the air was filled with the screaming of agony and pure animalistic rage as she swung her energy claws at him as he dodged most of her attacks but the minority opened burnt painful wounds in his flesh as he was too wounded and his head was clouded with pain to cast dispel as he knew this battle was hopeless as she was beyond killing now, despite how powerful his weapons were, she was literally death incarnate in this state and was invincible.

Quickly dodging her attacks with more speed as the ship was falling apart as explosions were felt and heard across the whole area as Stalker felt more of his wounds open up even wider and lost more blood as he felt himself becoming shaky as the reactor finally blew open and everything went black.

He was in this endless abyss with no physical form and it made Stalker think to himself if this was death, it was a fitting place for someone who was so invested in the darkness anyway yet he felt a presence in his mind as he heard it assume a voice with no gender or tone as it spoke to him.

"Before you would die by the reactor, I brought you here on a one way trip to a dimension where the inhabitants are eccentric, I want to see you in this land for reasons" the voice said.

"Who are you?" Stalker said, his smoky voice echoing in his mind as the voice somehow figured what he was saying.

"Call me Timor, it's the only name the non-eldritch can comprehend that fits me." The voice replied, surprising Stalker as it used a metaphor.

Suddenly via unknown methods unexplainable by science and normal reasoning, Stalker felt his existence alter and shift into a plane similar to his own but with many different things in it as he then hit the ground hard, he felt some of his wounds from his previous battle but nowhere near as severe as they were before.

He wanted to sleep, be left alone for a tiny bit as he drifted to sleep in this unknown land, he couldn't even feel his eyes so far.

Authors Note

((To anyone who is also a fan of my other work, Hollow Suit, don't worry, I nearly finished the next chapter for that one and I'm writing this story because I like Stalker and I like Fairy Tail though I'm just starting out on Fairy Tail so don't expect me to make a few newbie mistakes.))
