The Void

  • Darkness,

    Black and silent.

    Suffocating, stifling, stopping.

    A cold, empty void, stretching out for eternity, yet stopping for infinity.

    Despair, the cold grip of Daedric masters at play.

    Unable to fight, unable to take a breath,

    Gasping, choking, crying.

    Death, meaning muddled, a memory of what has happened.

    The shadow of disgrace falls apon the shriveled husk of what once knew life.

    Walls, boundaries, unknowable.

    @Phil Pretty cool indeed, I like them!
    @Axius I kind of left that up to interpretation, but falling into inky darkness is always chilling... Thanks for reading.
    @Sotek A few followers? *Blush* At least I don't have a cult, like you and Lissette...

    I'm picturing a malevolent laugh at the end coupled with a guy screaming as he's falling...
    Quite chilling is you ask me.

    We have this pretty cool Orc friend who is working on a project and he found these really cool avatars. Some of them may be in his project but he wanted to share them with the tribe too. He's a regular Orsimer Santa Claus

    @Phil Thanks! And also, what's up with everyone changing their picture. Is there something I'm unaware of?
    @Cinae Aww, thanks! Especially the part about this being inspiring.

    I've having a hard saying more than has all ready been said, but this is incredible. You did a good job conveying the destruction a daedric lord can have on someone's life and soul.
    Oh, and I'm excited because I'm also writing something about a daed...  more

    Thanks Edana! I don't know where the inspiration for this came from, but apparently I have more than a couple demons inside of me, if this is any indication.
