So very long…
I have hunted evil for no
less than a thousand years.
Yet, I remember well how
this pain started… As
though it were just yesterday.
When my blood was warm, I
was a great warrior. Neither
man nor beast could best me in
mortal combat.
Then, in my arrogance, I said
one day even death himself
will bow before my swords…
He smiled and said, from a mare
of death from death himself,
a wager. If you win, eternal life
is yours. If I win, your soul
is mine to do with as I wish.
Foolishly I accepted…
With sword and spell, we
clashed toe to toe. The
world trembled at our
unleashed powers.
I attacked with such fury and might,
that even death himself was taken
aback, and then, incredibly felled!
I toppled the master and he
granted my reward.
I am cursed to live until all
supernatural evil is destroyed.
I hunt…
And fight…
And kill, until the end of my curse.
Only then will I be able to
seek solitude and forever rest.
