Tanik: grinning malevolently Well, since you asked so nicely, I'll tell you how this all began. It started with betrayal.
Tanik: eyes gleaming with malice Betrayal by one of my own kind. A being of immense power, who sought to usurp my place as the ultimate Herald of Finality.
Tanik: laughs wickedly He thought he could outsmart me, deceive me, and steal my power. But I saw through his lies, and I took everything he had.
Why are you telling me this?
Tanik: leans in close, whispering Because, foolish mortal, you seek knowledge. And I shall grant you some of mine.
Tanik: summons a vortex of dark energy, pulling in objects and creatures from the ruins Watch closely now, for this is the true extent of my power.
Tanik: nods approvingly Indeed, little mortal. You have wisdom beyond your years. The Time Keeper is a fitting name for one who keeps order in the face of chaos.
Tanik: grins wickedly Your gratitude is appreciated, mortal. But don't think for a moment that this means I've taken a liking to you.
Tanik: raises the relic high above his head Now, for the fun part.
Tanik: takes a step forward, pointing the relic at a nearby creature Behold, the power of ancient knowledge!
Tanik: smirks Ancient knowledge, indeed. This relic holds the collective wisdom of a long-forgotten civilization.
Tanik: snaps his fingers, causing the ground to tremble With this power, I will bring ruin to all who stand in my way.
What do you seek, Herald?
Tanik: laughs maniacally I seek ultimate power, foolish mortal! I seek to rule over all that is and all that will be.
Tanik: eyes flashing with anger Ambitious? No, mortal, it is inevitable. It is my destiny to rule the universe. And you will witness it firsthand.
Tanik: raises the relic, summoning a wave of dark energy that engulfs the ruins Prepare yourselves, mortals! The final reckoning is upon you all!
I take the end of the universe in my hands. Well, at least I'll be living up to my name.
Tanik: grins wickedly, raising his hand as the sky splits open and a great darkness descends Fear not, mortal, for you will witness the birth of a new era. One in which I, Tanik, the Herald of Finality, reign supreme.
Then shall the universe bow before its one true master?
Tanik: laughs maniacally Bow before me, mortals! Tremble and fall to your knees! For I, Tanik, am the ultimate force in the universe.
