Realm Book Three - Illuminated Death

In the Other World, they say there is no rest for the wayward and wicked. From the iniquitous of the Shadow Lands, the depraved and wandering vagabonds come like thieves in the night to graze amidst the poor, plighted man--his woes an abundant bounty for the evil and the damned.

They say that sinners cast long shadows amidst the feeble human masses. From the Darkness they bemoan the good their coming journey; begrudge the living, defame the Light. They say that from the shadows tainted disciples can be seen like some great beacon. Condemned souls a black illumination like corporeal ghosts with rotting flesh.

But have you ever wondered where the vile stain of repentant sins go when those worth saving see the Light? Can the condemned be forgiven? Or does Darkness rule their life?

My name is Rihker Tennai – In the Other World they say that to understand death you must first come to know the dying, feel the ease of a soul’s surrender – walk a mile through their strife. Then, once you reach the Darkness – pray. Pray that in the end you cross over into the Light.

Lucky for me, my Darkness glows eternal…
