The Orphic Descent

What do you live for?

Do you live for that thrill?

The despair?

Or the look of fear in their eyes?

Many would say it's sick, that it's morally wrong to live in the shadows and embrace that darkness clawing from the depths of your soul. Others would glance in pity, remorse, hate-but, oh, that sickeningly sweet nectar of hope is disgusting-it's fun to crash it though.

That's how the renowned and versatile Sorcerer, Korscher Trin Alexnyx, craved that void of nothing but evil. Hiding behind the mask of a respectable teacher and guide of the people, he bottled this sickness deep within his spirit, until his world was brought to ruins by a force far greater than his.

He saved the people-he could have, but he gazed upon the bloodbath with a grin like he was watching an entertaining spectacle.

It was an addictive play; he had to admit.

Until the true knight struck him in anger with his spiritual sword-that's where Korscher's fable ended.

And thus began his Orphic descent in another world parallel to his.
