Requirements: ePUB, MOBI Or AZW3 Reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: The Midnight Man has returned and is planning his own brand of revenge on the gods and the land of Talocants. A revenge best summed up in his own sick and twisted words : –
“I will start by capturing the whole of Talocants and subjecting it to my whim – not quickly, but slowly, like a growing cancer. My servants in the brothels and dens of vice shall infect the great and the good. My armies shall march and conquer all before them. I, my dear and loyal followers, will seek out the instruments of destruction that will kill these so-called gods.
“I make this oath to you, dear followers: I will sacrifice as much as you will sacrifice to fulfil this great and awe-inspiring plan of mine.” Tears rolled down the Midnight Man’s face. “It will not be easy. There will be great difficulty ahead and many, many will die.” With that, the Midnight Man spun, grabbed his mother by the throat, and plunged a dagger into her heart. Digging his fingers in, he ripped out his mother’s windpipe and threw it across the room.
Twisting the dagger, he whispered, “I love you, Mummy.” Joanna Harris’s body spasmed as a look of shock and betrayal shone bright in her eyes. Meeting his mother’s stare, the Midnight Man smiled. “Please, don’t be angry, Mummy.” He rotated the blade one last time before pulling it out, dropping it on the floor, and plunging his hand into the hole in his mother’s chest. Joanna placed a hand on her son’s shoulder as her eyes went even wider.
“Sorry, Mummy,” whispered the Midnight Man as he pulled out his hand, which held Joanna’s broken heart. Stepping back, the Midnight Man let the body of his mother fall to the floor. His tears suddenly gone, the Midnight Man turned to his followers, dropped the heart onto the floor, and grasped the lectern with both bloody hands. “There is no sacrifice too big to be made, no deed too despicable to be done in the drive to fulfil my vision. We will conquer Talocants, we will spread like a cancer across this world, and we will kill the old gods who stifle growth and freedom of expression.”
Looking up, he continued, “For I am the Midnight Man! I am your base emotions, desires, and wants made flesh. I am the one creature that can truly make you free! I AM THE MIDNIGHT MAN AND I HAVE COME BACK TO FREE YOU ALL!”
