The sin of Pride is the greatest among the seven deadly sins. It is the reason why Lucifer was cast from heaven. It is the reason why countless kings committed atrocities throughout the history of mankind. Just like he did. He was a King in his previous life. He was confident and prideful, never willing to bow to anyone, always doing what he wished, driven by his ambition, wishing to leave a legacy on Earth that would last for an eternity. He received a blessing from a Goddess and her love, but trampled upon them in his search for power, leaving her broken-hearted. In her hatred, the Goddess cursed him to forever remain imprisoned in the Underworld. But Death took a liking to the prideful mortal king and gave him a new chance at life. If you could call it life... PS. I don't own the cover art
An awoken guardian, devoid of the light, wonders the endless Divalian mists in the Dreaming City. Drifting for what seems like an eternity. Until they come across an obsidian Monolith. The Monolith seems blighted, yet the Young Guardian insists on the touch of the grand monument. There. In that moment, all their feelings were drained, in that very moment, that very still moment, absent of emotion. She had come for them. They awake in a cave, the monolith in plain sight, though some distance away, the mist slowly dissipating. The blurred light beckoning their eyes to open. She stands before them now, in all her malevolent glory. Savathûn, the Witch Queen.
"Prophecy"!, the old man snarled, "fools believe it, a pity even the self appointed wise sages believe the future is certain so long it has been foreseen" He laughed, a dry throaty laugh that seemed to vibrate from his very core. He paused for a while and rasped with an accompanied cough, spitting out a thick phlegm. He was truly old, an ancient to be exact but his death as foreseen thousands of years ago was a sham, a useless rambling of fools, ramblings people thought to be words of prophecy. He alone has the right to doubt the words of the prophet for he alone had lived and seen the desolate era.

In the small town of Greystone, nestled deep within a forest of towering pines and ancient oaks, the air seemed to always hang heavy with secrets. The year was 1986, and the world outside Greystone was filled with neon lights, fast cars, and loud music. But inside the town, time crawled like a corpse waking from the dead. It was a forgotten place, a pocket of quiet that most folks never left — and the ones who did never spoke of it again. Greystone had a history. It was the kind of history that was whispered about, passed down in hushed conversations between families who had lived there for generations. In the 1920s, there had been an old sanitarium at the edge of the forest, a sprawling estate of cold brick and iron that housed the insane, the criminally disturbed, and those who just didn't fit anywhere else. It closed after a fire in 1933, but the ghosts of its past were said to linger. The townsfolk warned their children not to go near the ruins, but kids are curious. On the outskirts of town, beyond the sanitarium, was the Greystone Forest - the woods where the darkness grew wild, feeding on nightmares. It wasn't just the woods themselves that were terrifying; it was the stories, the creatures people swore they saw on cold, moonless nights. Things with too many eyes, sharp teeth, and claws that tore at the air. For the kids of Greystone, the rumors about the forest were just that — stories. But when a group of teenagers stumbled upon something they should have left alone, the town was plunged into a nightmare far worse than any tale.
