Sebastian Duke · (05-19-2014)

The Recent Past – Complete Darkness – Unknown Location

Before your King of Darkness traveled back in time with the help of Azrael Erebus. Before he was able to simply make a wish and bring his beloved Caitlyn back to our current time. Before he beloved 'father' Shane

lost his head. Before the Administrator lost his. Before he traveled to some other dimension to play a live action version of Game of Thrones with his son Thaddeus.

The King of Darkness stalked.

The King of Darkness stood deep within the shadows.

The King of Darkness watched every last move he made.

But why?

As his Messenger, I don't ask. Instead, I follow my leader like the good little foot soldier that I am, and that I've almost always been.

The sounds of thunder, the flashes of lightning, the pitter patter of rain drops is evident. It's dark. With each and every flash you can see a quick glimpse, but nothing more. In these quick glimpses, you see a few trees in the distance. You see large stones of all different sizes scattered about.

I was born Jacob Anderson. Through my years of service, and my loyalty to the King of Darkness, he's rewarded me. In many ways. In ways I'd never in a million lifetimes, ever be able to repay. The most satisfying reward he's given me, is that of his Messenger. See, I've learned from the master. He's taught me everything I know. Everything I've done, with a great amount of success, mind you, is because he taught me. I've traveled hundreds of thousands of miles over the years spreading his word. Most of it, in the form of a grotesque and brutal death.

But, they know.

Those who are left behind to mourn for those lost by my hands, they know who came, and they know why. No one has died by my hands senselessly and without good reason. The Catholic Church has had this coming for centuries. Only now, they don't have the balls to strike back. Not with the law, not with their own kind, and certainly not like the days of old. Their one try, Jonathan, was a miserable failure. Early on, he had a fair amount of success against my King, but as Sebastian Duke likes to say: “It ain't over 'til that fat lady sings. That's why its a Brotherhood.”

Another brilliant flash of light. This time, it is apparent Sebastian Duke is here. Wherever 'here' is. He's drenched from head to toe. Dressed in his black leather cape. Another flash and you see him, his back to us, thrust his powerful arms toward the ground.

As his Messenger, I do what I'm ordered to do. I'm also his closest adviser. When any plan is being hatched, I do my best to deliver to him the best information and the best advice possible. At the end of the day, it is his word that I follow. I follow it to the letter without deviation and without questioning any further.

This morning, when my King ordered me to have Air Darkness One fueled up, I did so. When he told me to remove the rear seats of one of the Tahoe's, I did so. When he told me to drive us to the airfield, I did so. When he told me not to ask any questions, that's exactly what I did. When he instructed me to speak to you while he's being filmed, again, that's what I have done.

That's why I'm standing here. Off camera. In the rain. Getting soaked. Talking to you.

Which reminds me of something I've always wondered. Of all the “evil” things we've done that have taken place directly in view of the XWF cameras and broadcast over the entire world, how has no one ever forwarded these video files over to the authorities?

Although, Sebastian Duke is the King of Darkness with very tight connections all over this planet within the highest levels of the most powerful governments. Including right here in the United States of America. Add to that, the realization that every other wrestling promotion in the world is staged. Authorities probably see the XWF in the same light. What they don't realize, is that nothing in the XWF is staged. Every thing you see on your television screens, whether its Madness, Warfare or Shove It, is absolutely one hundred percent authentic.

A bright flash of lightning, followed by a loud crack of thunder. In the flash, its become known that Sebastian Duke is wielding a shovel. He digs into the ground, then tosses a load of wet, muddy dirt on to the surface. Your King of Darkness is descending deep within the Earth. Only his upper torso remains above ground level.

Many of you watching may wonder why he's digging. Many will most definitely question his motives. Many may even think 'oh, well Sebastian Duke isn't a bad guy, he's just misguided. What with all he's gone through, who could blame him?'

While much of that may be true, I can assure you, he's not a good man. Quite the contrary, actually. While his motives may have a definite purity to them, he's killed before. He's killed those that for no other reason, just stood in his way. There is a darkness deep within him. There is a coldness within his heart. Deep within him lies an angry child yearning to be released. Yearning to be let out to deliver punishment to the masses.

I can tell you with absolute certainty, the King of Darkness is nearing the brink. You could argue he's gone soft. What with his beloved Caitlyn and his expeditions in that other time line with his son Thaddeus. In fact, I won't argue that point. You'd never see it my way anyhow. What you'll find out soon, is that everything you thought you knew about Sebastian Duke is wrong.

Dead wrong.

A bright flash from the current thunderstorm reveals that we're in a cemetery. We saw stones earlier but could neither make heads nor tails of it. This recent flash of light reveals many of the stones to be head stones. Sebastian Duke has now found what he's looking for. Evident by his tossing of the shovel. Now, he grabs a sledge hammer lying on the ground surface nearby. Probably to bust open a grave vault. He swings.

Now, why would Sebastian Duke be nearly head deep in a grave? Seems like an important question, though it's one I won't answer. Why is he digging up some unknown mysterious grave? Again, it's a question I will not answer.

Probably the most important question, is why is Sebastian Duke using every ounce of his power to drag this casket out of its resting place? One more time, it's a question I will not answer. All of your questions will be answered in due time. If he chooses to allow it.

Sometimes, there is no rhyme, there is no reason as to why Sebastian Duke does what he does.

'You're all survivors and you're gonna make it.'

Seems unlikely.

One final brilliant flash. Sebastian Duke and his Messenger are loading this casket into the back of his Chevy Tahoe. Behind them, the name on the head stone that marks the grave for which he's just dug up is revealed.
