Eternally Lost

That's all my mind could render cohearantly...forever disassociated. Gone were the days and times of old, now all there is, is the GREAT NOTHING...the void. And this blasted "Elder Soul", Guardian of the Crossroad. Not a prefured place for a meeting, but secure.

*And then the voice*

"X i i ....*gasping weez* ....t i c, over hear Xiitic."

Feeling the companion approach, my astralbeing shuddered from the presence...that uncomfortable feeling, unescapable.

Gathering forth my long accumilated "Authority", I speak forth;

"You know me, ancient by FAR compared to you.....and this unplace. WASTE my time not simpleton, and show yourself already. I have no patience for your games or TRICKERY!

*Without a moments hestitation the spirit materialized, showing it's true, and horridly twisted reflection. A reflection of what once used to be above ALL, the most tantalizing soul...now a evil husk.*

"My appoligies Xiitic, please no anger, I meant no offence..."

"ENOUGH GROVELING! Give me the message, NOW before I send you back and call another, to watch this path."

Before I could even finish the ritual threat, the scroll was given over.

"Oh Xiitic, curse me no more, I am loyal only unto you. You saved me from a much worse f a t e...."

HERESY! I saved you not, that has yet to be learned! You will be judged, only it will take longer for yours. I have heard it all before. Yes, you have been loyal for many ages, and it is going to be soon when the time is over. A hundred thousand blessings upon you, until next time..."

Opening the Crossroads I slip through, back to work....

Upon opening the message and reading it's contents, my heart skiped....more than just a beat.

Reading over the runic script, memories flooded back....from a time before legend. Realizing the meaning of this message I just finished. I make haste for another "Crossroad", and so continues my journey yet again......eternally lost.....
