OBLIVION
A Story Forgotten
Wraith of the Hammer - Diabolical Rhapsody
Whilst the light might impart upon others hope, it is rage that fills your heart as you answer to its whispers. It is not salvation that you seek. Neither is it peace; nor an ending to your pain and suffering. No, you would have stayed inside the darkness if that is what you wanted.
Thus, with your blood boiling, and your arms aching for another chance to take a swing upon your foe's face, your legs followed where the light leads you. And finally, after what feels to be an Aeon, you reached your destination. Before you, is a narrow corridor that ends with ornate double doors; forged out of cast iron, and seemingly impossible to shatter. The doors are heavy, yet your arms have yet to lose their edge. As you pushed with all your might, the door creaks open, and from within mist and mercurial light pours out.
You have found yourself inside an arena; a circular opening with walls impossible to climb surrounding it. A gladiatorium, if you may. At the center of it, a massive shadow, the size of a mountain stands in silence. Its arms are bound to the ground firmly by multiple chains, each and every one of them thick enough to hold a battle barge at bay.
As you walked closer, the wraith opens its eyes, and a familiar voice enters your ears.
"Ye who seek for limitless power, prove thine worth to me!" the voice bellowed as the monstrous being started to move. In one vicious motion, it breaks all of its bindings, and swing its right arm at you. You quickly jumped out of its reach, and are right in time to see the Earth you stood on just a second ago turns into a massive crater.
You have managed to keep your life for now, yet your instincts told you that the next time the shadow moves, it would not be that easy to keep it that way.

Wraith of the Daggers - Unbelievably Majestic
While others may chase the light in hopes of acquiring limitless power, you have chosen to follow it out of fear. Fear of the darkness. Fear of the unknown. Somewhere deep within your core of being, you wishes for the light to guide you away from the crushing darkness. What you seek, is to see once more. To know once more. To feel that fuzzy feeling of familiarity in this world filled to the brim with unknown terror.
So you ran with all your might. Desperately did you follow the light's guidance. Yet never once did you stop to question if the light is supposed to be trusted.
Now that you have realized this, your steps draws to a full stop. And from behind your ears, you hear the once-warm voice turn into a sinister whisper.
"Oh you young, miserable souls; why did you stop?" The voice, or rather, voices, asked. "Did you not wish for limitless power? A power to keep the darkness at bay?" they continued, every word clearer and more dire than the last.
On full alert, you turn to your back, hoping to identify the source of the voices. And before your eyes, you see the light coalesced with the darkness, forming a tall, imposing pale figure with long, flowing cape of pure darkness. You could barely see its face, yet from that limited view alone, you could sense that the thing is not a friendly one.
Then again, it is not attacking you. Perhaps you could parley with it?

Wraith of the Polearms - Crouching Bacon
What is it that the light wants with you? You ask yourself as your legs carry you to your destination. Death is like an old friend to you, and you were eager to welcome it. Yet, the light had pulled you away from your reunion with Death. For what purpose? It promised you of power, of a cause; Yet it did not specifically state what is it that it wants from you.
Moments later, you arrive at what seems to be the answer of your questions. Before you stands a hooded, masked figure. Whilst its visage may drive others into fear, your mind and soul are calm. What others perceive as the Grim Reaper, you see as a light bearer within this world of darkness. Instantly, you realize that the being in front of you, is indeed the voice that's been calling you all this time.
You wished for the being to start talking, yet no matter how long you waited, it kept its silence. Perhaps, you should be the first to initiate the conversation?
Opponent Info
Wraith of the Tome - Fuhrer Itulhu
There are some who follows the light out of avarice. Others, out of fear of the expanding darkness. There are even others who do so out of curiosity. And then, there is you. Your reason for following the light is not the thirst for endless power, nor the fear of death, nor the sense of curiosity. It is not even of random impulses. No, yours is something much more simple; much more basal.
Lust.
You lust for companionship. And in this so-called light, you can feel the existence of something other than yourself. Thus, you decide to blindly follow it, with your biggest fear being to find nothing at the end of the road. You do not care for the fact that the light brought you to steep grounds or deep trenches. You do not care for the fact that it leads you through a winding labyrinth of thorns. No, you do not care where it takes you, as long as it does not leave you alone.
And finally, you reach the end of the road. The footsteps of light have all but vanish, and before you, is what seems to be a reflection of yourself. A miserable being, bound by countless threads of darkness; voided of all senses by the infinite veils of darkness.
Yet not all hope is lost. Perhaps, the creature in front of you merely resembles you. It might be an entirely different entity, with its own set of thoughts and opinions. All you need to do, is ask.
