'''Title: The Encounter '''

'''Author: Darkheart '''

I wandered, full of
anger, rage, and
terrible memories.
That which drove me
away still burned
inside me, fueling me,
keeping me moving
beyond my limits. All
I could think of was
my misery, my
condition.
I staggered into a
clearing, falling to my
knees in exhaustion,
as the world spun
around me. And I
breathed thanks as
darkness took me
away...

I awoke to the blaze of
a fire, and to the
unceasign internal
pain that I had thought
I had escaped. But the
dark was but a
reprieve, a temporary
alleviation, a rest. And
then I saw him...
A man, which many
would call handsome,
wearing soft robes
and walking with a
stave. He appeared
young, but carried
with him an aura of
ageless power.
And he spoke to me,
with a soft voice, a
voice that carried with
it the knowledge of
suffering, the peace
of redemption.

"My son, what
troubles you, why do
you wander these
woods?"

And I replied. I told
him more than any
other before, I told
him all. Such was the
power within him,
that I was but a child
to him, and felt that
way, dwarfed by his
presence.

And so he replied to
me. "I can help thee,
but there will be a
price, for you ask a
great deal."

So much was my
inner pain, that I did
not ask of the
consequences, nay, I
did not care of them.
And I told him so, and
he replied.

"As you wish, I shall
aid thee. But the price
is heavy. I know of
you, and of your
honor. I know that you
can serve my cause
well, and will. So I
will tell thee now, and
you will forget, but
you will be bound to
your word, e'en
though you remember
it not. Once I am
through, you will
forget. You will forget
your pain, your
anguish. I shall create
you anew, for a time.
Eventually you shall
remember, but you
will be able to cope,
with the aid of others.
You shall find a book
in your travels, that
will be your service to
me. Read it, and
spread the word. Find
the others, find the
prophet, and aid
them. I ask you a
second time, do you
still wish my
aid?"

And I agreed,
and bound myself
irrevocably to my
word. Yet he spoke
once again..."And
there will be other
changes too, but
unpredictible. You
will change, in many
ways, both visible and
not. You will become
another, an alternate
self."

"Some of these
changes will be
temporary, some may
be permanant. There
is no way to tell. The
third time, do you
agree?"
And for the third
time, I did, and he
bowed his head. And
as the world faded
out, I heard him speak
these final words...
"Good luck, pained one.
I fear that you will
become more than you
wish... light...
bec.mes ..d....."
