"The only thing to fear is yourself ... because you are the substance of nightmares."
The first time I heard the quote was from my master and teacher I doubted every word. It was the only thing I ever doubted from him.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEysV7BoJm
Now that he is dead because of a foolish mistake I've done and cursed with immortality; I know the quote rings with truth in every word.
I was an apprentice and had, after many months of hard work and learning, my day off. In the last few months I heard the master talking about an immortality spell that has no side effects but its preparation is complex. I had great interest in that spell because I was suffering under some aggressive virus that eats slowly away my organs. The master noticed my interest and warned but I did not heed and was able to prepare the spell but one vital ingredient was missing that it all go wrong. I did not know that ingredient was missing until my master tried to stop me. It was a human sacrefice, a victim that is willing to be killed.
At the time I realized it was all too late, the spell had taken my master who unwillingly became a victim in the spell. I felt clearly its curse aside its power within my body. A heavy weight upon my shoulders that makes my knees soft like sponges while in my mind reapeated the moment as my master was taken, his face, his words, everything. Soon I noticed from my hand further my arm and over my entire body a dark tattoo, symbolizing my curse. My short dark hair turned to grey while within me I felt an unquenchable hunger. Hunger for what, I did not know at the time. I soon found out it was not food or drink but what exactly is still hard to tell. Two centuries have gone and I don't know how to silence this hunger. People avoid me due to my appearance and I avoid them.
Fear is natural to all living beings and it is what helps us hold within our boundaries we build. At times there are situations where one has to over step them to continue and conquer their fear. It is easily said than done but what the quote points to is that everyone can become a monster. Everyone can choose if they want to or not. Unnoticed I chose to become one without knowing.
Now I fear of myself more than before ...
