“They know the gates. They are the gates. They possess the keys and rule over the guardians of the gate. Wickedness, Righteousness and Balance, all are one in them. They know where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where the Old Ones shall break through again. They know where The Old Ones have trod earth's fields, and where The Old Ones still tread them, and why no one can behold The Old Ones as They tread.”

We are unsure where we are at. Though, it was as if time itself had no hold here.

The Dark Sincentius' face cuts through the pitch darkness.... a gray fog entombed him... then up high perched in a judge's seat was a figure. The Figure speaks.


???: With Eddie dead, it is required to full-fill his spot immediately before things get out of control.


::The Dark Sincentius says nothing at first and nods. Then he replies::
"... Does it really matter than much.... to fulfill the role of Guardian? To hell, literately, with the laws of the Universe I say... what the hell do I care."


???: Name your price.


Sincentius pulls out a cigarette from his inside coat pocket::
"Heh. Now you're speaking my language ::PUFF:: I want revenge of course. And you know what I mean- and to whom... umm? but who are you to grant such a thing?"






???: I am your Employer. Please. Walk forth into the gate and I shall make your desire become true....."


All fade as Sincentius walks through what appeared to be the Gate of Wickedness
