"By my saying this, I set in motion what must be."
"Long after your life ends, deep in the abysmal underworld blood will flow, and a demon lord will fall. His counterpart will plot his revenge and rebirth and she will build a temple to do this. Her greed and malicious intent will taint the energies around the resurrection chamber, and below in the darkness a consciousness will form over time."
"Still, it will take many more lifetimes of men before the abomination is formed. When it is, is will rise up from the darkness in place of the demon lord and even take a form similar to the demons own."
"As the beast takes its first steps into the world as it leaves the temple, it will be filled with a lust for destruction. Its entry into the human world fulfills the first part of what I now prophesy. Without pause, like a moth to the flame, it will be drawn to where there is the most life, and it will tear asunder the lives of men."
"This path of death and destruction will inevitably gain the attention of those who protect the weak and innocent, and they will band together and destroy the beasts' body; this act will fulfill yet another part of the Prophecy of Darkness I now tell you."
"With the creatures physical destruction, its soul will return to that from whence it came, and in darkness it will grow strong and more pure in its essence."
"After some time, it will form anew once again, and with its first rebirth it will return in a form less beastly then its first, though still by no means human."
"Again, it will bring terror and death to the world of men, this time with the intent of drawing out its enemies. Many powerful heroes will fall to the creature in this time, until finally the Guardians that had defeated him before reappear to send him back to the dark abyss."
"Once more the creature of darkness will fall before them, though this second death will fulfil another part of this prophecy. This time, however, they will not destroy his body and will instead banish him to the darkness, and this act will force the creature to again undergo a time of transformation and awakening."
"As a result of the banishment the creature will remain in the dark abyss for far longer than before, this time for a quarter of a lifetime of man before it's bestowed with new abilities and greater knowledge of itself."
"One of the things it will learn is the ability to form an empty body from darkness itself and transfer its entire consciousness into the new body. Once it does this it will be reborn for a second time and it will be able to bypass the banishment placed on it."
"He will return to the world for a third time, this time in a human body, and he will aid the rise of a demon empire over the human nations before he will fight against it after he is possessed by a powerful entity from places unimagineably far away. The possession by this entity will force his consciousness from his body as the entity controls it and forces it to act out various attacks against the empire it helped create. After time, because the entity haf forced him to the dark abyss in such a fashion, he will finally grow to his purest form, and thereby become Darkness Incarnate. With this ascension he will far surpass the power of the creature controlling him and easily overpower its will and break free."
"However, once he returns to his body with his newfound power, his body will begin to dissolve into nothingness as a result, though this is another fulfillment of the prophecy as he returns to the darkness to be reborn into the world once more, though with all of his power intact."
"When finally he is reborn for the third and final time, after sacrificing his own blood for personal gain, he will begin to destabilize the world as the final act of the prophecy comes true and eternal night is unleashed on the world."
"By my saying this, you have been chosen by a power higher and more mighty than I, and I have set in motion what must be, though I have also set in motion that which has the ability to prevent all of this..."
"You know what must be done."
Thus I was told, and as suddenly as the angelic being had appeared it was gone before my eyes. With it went the sense of peace it brought over me, as I began to ponder over the visions and images that have beened burned into my mind. I have written this exactly as it transpired, for I can never forget that glorious time and the feeling of peace and contentment, nor can I forget the message I have been charged with delivering.
