Darkness Is Ever Present
Authors note: As the game fan's will know, I have made a slight alteration to the storyline. Alex is aided in defeating Pious by a vampire. The vampire is the person who delivers her a parcel at the end of the game but in my story she stays instead of fleeing. The story won't be too confusing to those who have not seen the game!
Prologue
And so it has come to pass. Of the three Ancients, there is nothing. In their never-ending quest for dominance, the three brought don one another, the boundless Ulyoath defeated the strength of Chaturga, the mighty claws of Chaturga sliced Xel'otath, and the insanity of Xel'otath overwhelmed Ulyoath.
Mantorok, the Keeper, bound in his temple, slowly festering, capable of only watching… plotting…
The guardian of Light killed the Liche, with the aid of her vampire accomplice. They returned the enchanted book to the place it formally resided in. The chosen souls who gave up their lives to defend the earth from Eternal Darkness are finally at rest.
I, Hek'uté, the author of the tome, goddess to the Hellenic people, made partially immortal by ritual of the bones, watch. As I write, I think back to the words of the Liche, 'My Death is just the beginning,' and think of the chaos which is about to ensue. It will all start from the creatures which are about to depart from the gates of Ehn'gha to the world above.
They stands as forms shrouded by a black mist. Their form not yet chosen, yet their purpose already known. Try as I might, I am incapable of perceiving their thoughts. The darkness comes again, for that you can be certain!
