Chronicles of a dark lord
Chapter one
“And behold a dark lord and power was given to him to ride forth and take peace from the earth”
From the book of death translated by Arch Magus Valon Doric
I am dead…. That was the first though that came to me as I opened my eyes, the experience was so fresh in my mind that I was surprised that there was no wound on my chest, no blood, no knife and no crazy woman crying as she stabs me over and over
“You shouldn’t be here” a voice came from …. Every where
I stood up and looked at my surroundings, I saw nothing but darkness, infinite darkness that looked as if it stretched for ever and I felt that if I took one step forward I would be lost in that darkness …. For ever
“Who is this, who are you”
“You may call me God”
“God … so I am dead”
“No you have transcended death and life; those are things of mortal men”
“What do you mean?”
“Your soul came to this plane of existence after your mortal body has perished”
“Why”
“That is what I am asking you”
“I …. I didn’t mean to …. I mean I did nothing”
“Yet you are here, in this place outside of place and time to spend eternity in the dark”
I looked at the place around me; the ground beneath me moved as it was alive and the darkness threatened to swallow me, I don’t want to know what lies inside of it
“Or I can let you out of her” the voice said
I didn’t know what to say, I sure as hell don’t want to stay here but where would he “let me out” to, I am dead after all
“And … where would I go”
“The stream of life is beyond my reach; however I can send you to a different plane of existence”

“And how is this … plane like”
The voice laughed a bone shilling laughter “you think I need your permission, you fear that I would send you to a worse place”
“Ah n…. yes” the voice went quite for a while before it spoke again
“It’s a place similar to the one you came from”
“Can ….. Can you send me to where I came from?”
“And why would I do such a thing, you are dead in the eyes of those who live their”
“But ….”
“Enough, I will give you a second chance to live a measly existence but I want something in return that is my offer”
“And what would that be”
“You will become my prophet and you will bring the inhabitants of this plane to worship me instead of other gods”
I didn’t know what to say a new life ….. Another world ….. A prophet
“I will not offer this again, say no and you shall stay here forever”
“I’ll do it… I’ll be your prophet”
A surge of back aching plain struck me the second I spoke but it ended in a moment
“Wha…”
“You are bound to me now; I can’t have my prophet be weak as normal humans”
I felt the surge of a new strength within me as I stood up, a hot flame burning in my core
“Go forth my Shadar and do not fail me”
I was in a warm place; I couldn’t open my eyes or move my limps something was stopping me from doing so
I felt something grab my head and I was out of that place, I felt air on my skin and then the texture if linins around my body, I managed to open my eyes at that moment and was faced by the face of a woman, she was crying … and smiling at the same time and that is when i realized it, I was Reborn!
