The promise to myself to help my son by removing all evil from the world.  Was it in vein? With each passing day I begin to think more so that it was.Perhaps you are wondering what I am talking about.  Allow me to explain, Accompanied by the lizard men I was assisting, we tracked the source that had driven them from there home back to an underwater cavern.  It was in this place that we forced are way past many obstacles to reach the source.  It was an odd place, unlike anything I had ever seen.  A cave with many caverns filled with ice.  This place felt as dark and lonely as my heart had for so long.  As we travelled through; it become obvious the dangers that existed in here. It took us three day's to accomplish our goal.  On the third day we had managed to find the lair of the one responsible for driving the lizard men from their home.      It was a vampire, not an ordinary one though, This one was much stronger. He was a spawn of the sea, and was a deadly adversary.  His blades struck with the speed of a hurricane and the accuracy or a lightning bolt.  This creature was easily a match for the four of us.  It was through sheer force of will alone that we were able to defeat the dark creature that plagued the sea.  That desire to remove the darkness from the world and save my child. This power is not strong enough though.  It is to weak.  During the struggle we discovered the real cause of the devastation to the homes of the lizard men.  A monestrous shark, it must have been larger then a sailing ship.  The vampire had r brought this beast under his control.  This creature was the force the vampire used to uproot the lizard men.  Fortunately after we disposed of the vampire the shark disappeared from the area, back to the depths from which it  came.  Perhaps it was now free of its former masters control, I just don't know.     It was after our victory that for the first time, I had a sense of accomplishment in my desolate heart.  I felt as if it was possible to change the wrongs in the world.  But like all things reality quickly set in.  As all things begin to fade, so to did my momentary peace.  As I was preparing for my departure from the now fallen vampire's throne room, I felt it for the first time in along time.  A presence that had not been around me since that night.  Five years ago, it was the same feeling no doubt about it.  The hatred, the anger, the fear, the destruction.  All these emotions filled the room.  It was here that for the first time I met the cause of my strife.  He called himself Andelow.  He had my child, what remains  of my child with him.  I will never forget his appearance, he stood as tall as two men, weilding weapons as large as me.  Those eye's they were as bloodshot as that damned vampire.  Behind him stood my child, his eye's, how dead they were.  Also blood shot, as those damned hell spawn.  It was in this moment that everything changed He had been  turned into a damned creature of the night.  On this night I lost my child has be taken from me again.  As I approached he screamed and hissed at me.  Damn him not only has he destroyed my family but turned my son against me.  This sin is unforgivable.  I swore on the grave of Alana that I will destroy this abomination and the dark infestation that exists within my former son.  All hope  that I would one day reunite with my child  and that I might see him again died on that night.  I have tried to walk out of the darkness and back into the light, It would seem though that the night has consumed me.  So in the darkness I shall walk, and bring vengeance to those who have committed these atrocities.  Those who damn me, will be damned by the darkness they have gifted me with.       Through out the night I tried to sleep, but could not, I was plagued by dreams of my past, My wife, my son.  I saw that night the entire massacre through the eye's of that killer.  I could do nothing to stop it, I failed them.  I awoke later in the day, half insane with anger.  I set out on my way towards Maldin.  Remembering about what I learned that day in the library.  A ritual that allowed and enabled one to tap into the very hatred of his soul, and use it to destroy those they hate.  It was within the deepest tomes buried for centuries and forgotten by time, that I discovered how to use this power.  The power of the Forsaken.      Within the scriptures was the formula, it took me a few days to decipher and gather the required components.  When I was ready for the ritual I went into seclusion and cast the circle.  Within this circle, I evoked Malestrom.  A unholy ritual that almost killed me.  As I preformed the ritual, I could feel the dark energy of my soul coursing through my veins.  The pain it brought me was great, but so to was the power I felt from it.  In the darkness I found myself, at home.  When the ritual was completed I collapsed of exhaustion onto the ground.      I don't know how long I layed there for, It could very well have been a few days.  But when I awoke, I knew I was successful, I had tapped into the hatred in my soul.  I know had the strength to destroy the ones I hate.  When I ascended from the depths of Maldin's catacombs, I began to make preparations for my long journey ahead.  I then started gathering supplies and gathering new equipment, to replace my old equipment.  During my time in Maldin though, while gathering supplies, The townsfolk seemed highly insolent and lowly.  For the first time in my life I see things clearly, and it is with this clarity I have strength.      No longer do I desire to fade away, like the peoples and nations that become consumed by the darkness of time.  No I intend to rise above it, I shall not be denied nor forgotten.  The sins of the father shall be visited upon the child, and the child will know desolation.  </blockquote>
