  Summary

  
  "You can't decide which life you were born into, but you can take control and make do with what you've got...

   

   

   

  Embrace the darkness little one. You called and it answered.

   

   

   

  It's time to follow through."

   

   

   

  — Mors, The failed Champion of Darkness.
