[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 5142831, member: 34958"] The dusky man looked insulted and said, [b]"It was not I who brought you here, but your own recklessness. We left signs etched inside the stone circle of which you slept and yet you did not heed them. Of course, it was over 2,000 years ago that my former master was banished and so perhaps it is not entirely your fault. Unfortunately, he has you now and he won't easily let you go. He has become greatly weakened in these last years. Perhaps confronting him will make him expel more of his energies until his hold on this realm is shaken and you are able to break back through the wards and to freedom. Long ago, Varath was a powerful god that I was picked to worship when I was but a child. His area of responsibility lay in giving nightmares to people, and many worshipped him in the hopes of placating him. At first, it is said that he was a fair deity. As I grew into adulthood I found him to be somewhat cruel, granting nightmares to those who needed warning or who had guilt on their consciences. However, over time, he grew bored and dangerous, forcing nightmares into the sleep of every individual he could and making sleepless nights for everyone. Sleeplessness led to paranoia... paranoia to madness... Eventually, I led a rebellion against him, defeating his avatar in a mighty battle, slaying his remaining insane priests, and burning his temple to the ground. The stones of it were shattered, the rubble reduced to dust, and the parched earth abandoned. Varath’s name passed from living memory, and then out of all but the dustiest of books, and now all that remains is a piece of circular stone where no being ever stopped at before … especially not to sleep. For Varath was still waiting, on the edges of the world, and his only path to return is through the minds of sleeping humanity … and that is why he brought you here. He needs you to help him return to earth, in a similar way that you need him to release his hold on you so that you may return and your body not waste away."[/b] OOC: Sorry I have been slow... on another road trip...
