It's only been a month. That's soon. Shut up.
Anyway, the announcement is this: The story of Samael is being semi-permanently shelved. However, the shiny, new, rebooted Epic Tale starts next Wednesday and continues weekly at www.pogorobot.com. So if you like what I've done here, and wish I could do it regularly, this is the news you've been waiting for.

An Epic Tale - 20. Fragments
This is all of my tale I can remember. Wisps and shadows cling to my mind, alarming me with persistence, torturing me with hope. I cannot give them form, substance. All I recall are Miru's bewitching eyes, her beckoning hand.
And then nothing. Something has happened. I must be - what?
How many times have I played through the events? How often have I wondered if I am awake, or alive, at all? Where is Lucifer? Where am I? What am I?
I can't seem to find myself. My soul is just out of reach, behind a veil of existence. If I could only remember - only tell how long I've been trapped inside my own mind. But even this knowledge is lost to me.
This is my life now. A puzzle with every piece missing. Was I ever Samael? Or Jerek? Did I finally kill the Hermit, or was the one who did this to me?
I may never know. Beyond a terrible, guilty feeling that I am responsible for something truly horrific, and the story I've told you, I have nothing left of myself.
I do, however, have one more story.
I doubt this story is mine. Where all of myself is vague, these events are as crisp and sure as their subject. Is he a figment of my imagination? A relic of my past? Or is he my future? Dare I hope - my redemption?
All I can do is watch, and wait.
