F.E.A.R.

The saying goes, or so I was told, there are two definitions for fear, or rather two things that fear stands for, or maybe it was two reactions- two ways to deal with...? It doesn't matter, in short fear can mean two very separate things- to forget everything and run or to face everything and rise. You always have that choice to make when confronted; although you may not realize it, or maybe not know which reaction is which at the time. Hindsight is twenty- twenty. Or that's what I'm told, my hindsight never was, there were always too many what ifs in my mind. But that is not the point nor the story you came to hear.

What that is, is this, after his defeat by the Guardians, the guardian of fear chose that former option. He ran and was consumed by the very fear he attempted to wield. And so I came to fill his roll until there came a time for the return of the Nightmare King.
