A Tale by Underscore_XO

The Torchbearer

I am Underscore, the Prince of the Abyss—the Bearer of Light. I will light the eternal flame and bring warmth to the depths. Light will shine bright, not because of the torch bearer but because of what he brings—the discovery of freedom and the songs of hope will sing.

As its Prince, I rule over the Abyss and the beasts who roam it, but not those who dwell in the depths; Dwellers must decide whether they join me in my journey toward the light. The eternal flame is within, not without, and only those free from fear can go deeper into the depths.

Without light, the darkness consumes.

 

I am nothing, and nothing is me. I bring forth darkness and pain upon the land, and nothing can conquer me. I am in nothing, and nothing is in me. I am an endless void that swallows even the brightest of stars.

This Torch will light the Eternal Flame once again. What exists within will exist without, for the flame is not just a spark—it is hope reborn, a beacon to guide the lost and rekindle the forgotten. In its glow, the Abyss will transform into a sanctuary of light and freedom.

The journey is not mine alone—it is ours. As we watch in silence, our silhouettes reflect the glow of the flame. More will follow and go deeper within, while some will remain without. We are Dwellers of the Abyss, and we are the keepers of the flame.

 

As this story ends, the journey deeper into the Abyss begins.
