The Nightmare Comes To An End
As I stand now before the altar I have everything. I have lit the candles. I have counted the beads. I have spoken the sacred words. With ink drying out and book pages eventually coming to an end, I thus bring an end to this diary of mine. A journey filled with pain, agony... Fear. I know now that no matter what the gods plan, none shall stall my dream any longer. As I come upon this world dressed in an invincible mantle, ill shall be the fate of those I write of. Nothing mattered up to this point, not anymore. I have slipped into madness and back to relative sanity time and time again, yet this moment is the epitome of both feelings joined together. A mad person restoring sanity to a broken world.
To those who knew me I have quite a few things to say; soon they will forget about me. Yes, the Shroud of the Pale God has a painful to most drawback. Soon after I don it, I will cease to exist. Death is the least of my worries past that, for invincibility is what it grants in return for eventual deletion from history itself. A small price to pay for one such as I, one who pays little mind to glory and fame. No, what matters most is that I disappear with the knowledge that I have finally created my dream world. No longer shall the weak be toyed with by the strong. All shall be given their chance to prove themselves regardless of heritage, race, magical ability... What will matter is only passion, dedication and an iron will to become strong... Nobody should have to suffer as I have, a deafened pain whose screams only I could hear. Everyone will have the chance to rise above this. To escape a destiny others have already decided.
To the gods I say... I am soon coming for you. You have much to answer for and I will make sure you do. If you are Begotten, I declare you dead already, for I am coming to end an existence that should have never been. Something born out of the giant mistake that brought the shardscape into existence in the first place.
To those I killed I say this; be glad you became naught but something I forgot what even was, lest I had found a way to torture you beyond death's grasp itself.
To those I lost along the way... I am sorry I couldn't save you. I can only hope that once you forget about me your soul will find peace.
To he who holds the shards of the broken world together I say this; I care little what you think your plan is. I can wait no longer. Stand in my way at your own risk... Or allow me to destroy everything that corrupts this world's very core.
And last but not least... To me I say everything. Heather, you've seen the world through the eyes of many things. The half breed daughter of an abusive outlaw. The step sister of an alien being. The Prodigy of an entity that became naught but it's chosen duty. An adventuring hero who never got along with her abusive friends. A lone survivor after they all died. A rebel for a cause you didn't believe in. A murderer who danced with the bodies and wrote poems in the blood of the people she killed. A destroyer of undead horrors and beings that were never meant to be. And now... Now you are going to see existence through eyes not of this world. If somehow you find this somewhere in a forest while running from your kidnapper... Just let the bear eat you.
As I cast aside my armor and weapons, I prepare myself to feel the invincible mantle around me. It is with these words that I write this end to my journey, a nightmare with an end that moved ever further away. Yet, I regret nothing.
Farewell
Heather Robert Rowling.

05:23 am - 06.06.2020The Nightmare Never Ends Part 11
A humongous Dragon of a celestial nature, capable of summoning swords of brilliant light and using magic spells of mass destruction. An assassin that was chosen by Fate to destroy all those who would interfere with the flow of all things that must one da...

Their faces were obscured yet familiar. Their voices sweet as the honey nestled inside a bee's hive, and just as threatening. I was a step closer to my goal of attaining ultimate power, but I lacked the means to continue. Indeed, how does one go about cap...
04:17 am - 06.06.2020The Nightmare Never Ends Part 9
What joyful carnage, what spectacular destruction. What sorrowful cries echo across the desert. Of all the people's cries, the ones you expect least to be full of sorrow are those of the Veldrani. Giant men and women filled with purpose and cold stoicism,...
12:19 am - 15.03.2020The Nightmare Never Ends
The siege of Tan'ayya is not going to last long. It is a clumsy attempt at an assault, an attempt to establish not a foothold, but a statement. One such statement was the beginning of this rebellion, a strike against the heart of the snakes held safe by a...
05:50 am - 16.02.2020The Nightmare Never Ends Part 7
"I do it for everyone's dreams." That was my answer this time around. The undead beast I had defeated a few times already. The fighting had always been difficult, myself emerging victorious by the skin of my teeth every time. Every time I ask for it, ever...
10:20 am - 22.01.2020The Nightmare Never Ends Part 6
The cold hard stone of this ruined house's floor makes for a poor bedding choice. The smell of dry blood for poor aroma, the sound of the windy desert for poor ambiance. The decrepit interior a poor sight. However, even in such a place, there was art to b...
08:03 am - 22.01.2020The Nightmare Never Ends Part 5
I am having a good day today. It has been a while since I've been to Tan'Ayya. Apparently nobody recognized me. Or maybe they do and they just don't bother. Maybe someone is giving me a chance to go without trouble. To think, I thought you'd gut me if you...
11:03 pm - 01.12.2019The Nightmare Never Ends Part 4
"I am your death!" Those were her words when we her sword went through my shoulder. "No. I can't die. Please." Those were her words when she lay there, unable to stand after I had crushed her legs with my maul. Many thoughts clouded my mind. My decision. ...
11:14 pm - 30.11.2019The Nightmare Never Ends Part 3
I feel joy. Hope returns to me. I strike at the heart of pain through violence. The one, true, solution to everything. The men are dead. They lie before me. I am covered in their blood. I want to let it dry on me. Does that make me a bad person? What make...
04:35 pm - 29.11.2019The Nightmare Never Ends Part 2
Darkness... It is safe here. I am not much for hiding, an act of running away, yet sometimes it is necessary. I am in a cave, some kind of underground lair of beasts. The men chasing me can't see in the dark so they fear it, they fear it might be housing ...
07:46 am - 27.11.2019The Nightmare Never Ends
The deserts of the Pal'Tanir have not been kind to me. The ravaging storms, the life of sheltered crime, the corruption of those in charge... The Dominion has disappointed me one time too many. I have not touched this for a while, a book meant to keep my ...
05:13 am - 27.11.2019It has recently occurred to me that I have been using a maul that delivers the strike of thunder against the followers of a storm deity... A truly magnificent irony to die to the force you worship. #Maul #Irony #Death
09:25 pm - 29.05.2019Today I managed to defeat one of the aspiring followers of the Highborn Centhiri Necromancer that I have been warring against for some time. To my pleasant surprise I found out that he survived our encounter and I have him as a prisoner. As I am alone and nobody else is here to interfere I cam do what I want to him. He is not my ultimate target, but letting go of some of my unending hatred might help me get some sleep at night. Do I kill him in a very painful way that will have him screaming until he finally dies or do I make sure he is battered beyond belief and then leave him to the vultures? Ideas are very welcome. #Mercy #NoMercy
08:36 pm - 28.05.2019I can't decide on my feelings about fighting the undead. Both my allies and my enemies feel threatened by my presence when I use the arm of a dead person to beat a living person to death, but they say nothing when I do it to the undead. On the other hand, the undead express no emotion when I do it, which in itself is less satisfying and instills no fear in the hearts of my foes. Should I bother doing it anymore? #Confused #Undead
01:51 am - 27.05.2019This revolution of snake against snake has lasted for a very long time already. It is about time both heads are brought to their knees.
