The Magician.

Candlelight casted shadows that danced across the tomb.

I struggled with confusion and presence filled the room.

Who had summoned me and for what purpose was I here?

I saw a magician in his circle and it became oh so clear.

It was just another mortal trying to make me obey his commands.

Playing with dark and dangerous forces he thought he might understand.

Reveal all the secrets and mysteries of the Universe was the demand.

Quite unprepared for the truths.

He fought to take control.

As pure madness set upon him, he begged for his soul.

Yet he knew full well their would be a price to be paid for this.

I consumed his mind and cast his soul into the dark Abyss.
