You Awaken

Oww...but no. That was wrong. Beeping and lights in my eyes and the rough feeling of those crappy hospital blankets was what I was expecting. But instead..I feel no pain. In fact I feel nothing. I am floating in a void of pitch blackness and stillness...an empty space. Oblivion. I consider for a moment that its at least better than the fire and brimstone I was halfway expecting. One hardly has the thoughts and desires..even if I never acted on them..without expecting some judgement if indeed a higher power existed.

But...two figures appeared before me and my brain felt like it was being shaken around in my skull. Apparenlty communication with Goddesses of the Dark was not something mortals were designed for, even in this strange bodyless form. Nonetheless, I had made my choice. Drifting in the uncaring void or going into a new world with permission to **** and **** and **** all to bring down the 'good and pure'?

Yeah I could get behind that. I was offered a selection of spawning locations, each drifted to the forefront of my mind..too close to a large town...too isolated...too near larger monsters..ah...there. A cave system next to the next town over from one of the Light's largest Cathedrals. Funny how the closer you are to the foe the safer you are sometimes.

Young heroes would gather at the Cathedral and then venture out and if they started disappearing, well they could have gone in any direction so it wasn't anyone's problem.

Yes...Elmsbridge was a perfect starting point.
