Ch. 4 Battle Scars

We rejoin our hero on his journey to see he is doing well. In fact, he's excelling at his endeavors towards his goals. He's found a new circle of friends, there's not many but they're loyal and that's all you can ask for in a companion. Now, just because he's doing well does not mean our hero has won the war against the forces of evil in his life. Those who wish to harm are always working,scheming, and plotting on new and unspeakable ways to unravel our hero at his seams. They wish to rattle his very core and push him to the brink of self destruction. But lately they've been quiet, he remains alert, vigilant, unfuckwittable! Even though all is calm our hero feels the damage left from his foes in past battles still ripping away at his essence. The hero feels his sanity slowly drifting further and further from him. His thoughts are sporadic. Those who see him have no clue what's wrong. He looks fine but on the inside he is ever so steadily decaying...rotting... Becoming this being of nothing but pain and anger. His rage becomes the only feeling besides heartache that he recognizes. All he wishes is that someone would notice his pain and help him stop it. He's tried it all and he can't stop his internal bleeding, his heart is leaking and it hurts. Those who see his pain driven rages call him a monster. Just remember even the monster under your bed may have been someone just like you at one point and became twisted into a being frightening enough to earn the title "Monster". Our hero is fighting a battle within himself and it is against hi most powerful adversary yet: his heart. He's fighting against the pain left behind from the betrayals of his past foes. I just hope he can prevail this time. The world needs him more than he knows..
