I stand at the edge, before me is the endless darkness of chaos and the pathless void and behind me is the world of light and order. I have traveled thorough the world behind seeing the people toil and suffer in life. Serving fickle gods and fickler lords I have seen the gods of the world of light and mighty though they are they are capricious and do not give their blessings willingly. I have been drawn to the world of light, but I have never felt any great connection to it. Many have attempted to gain my favor or to control me but always I have felt drawn to the margins of the world and now I stand at the edge. The draw continues pulling towards the pathless voids were chaos rules and abominations walk. It is only here where I hesitate to leave what is familiar and what is known for the something so unknown. I can take the plunge and who knows what will happen. I could be destroyed utterly in the void, my body and soul blasted from existence. I could become the plaything of dark gods or foul abominations the creatures controlling or destroying me as it saw fit. These things could happen, or I could find freedom and power as I have never known.
Many had journeyed into the chaos before me, but the fate of those journeyers is unknown for none who have taken to the pathless void have returned. None knew the nature of those who lived in the void but the gods hint of darker gods who maintain their own realms in the void, but they will not speak of them. Those who live in the lands of light and order fear what lies in the void. Creatures born of chaos and madness that will destroy anything that it is able to. The pull is becoming irresistible the closer to the void I go and soon the time will come to make the decision.
What lies behind me is a land of suffering. Suffering under fickle gods and fickler lords who care nothing for me. Suffering to try to please other who only wish to control my future. Before me is the darkness where I might find freedom. I might be free of the control of others who believe that they are powerful. I might be free to seek what is drawing me into the void. Now on the edge it is time to make the decision. I look back at all that I would leave behind peace, order, familiarity and light but underlying it all suffering, and I look forward to all that might be gained or lost. All the potential that lies in the void. Now is the end and the decision has been made I step forward into the pathless darkness of the Void.
