Publisher's Synopsis
A dreadful calamity has fallen on Grand Fortune City. Betrayal. Desperation. Madness has taken hold of the Puppet Master as he writes his letter of heartbreak to his beloved Emilia.
My dearest Emilia,
It is with the deepest and most sincere regret that I have chosen to strike a bargain with evil for the restoration of your life. Though I have been able to repair our precious sons to the best of my ability, I have failed at every turn in my efforts to bring you back to us. During these many years, my soul has been consumed with a tempest of hatred for that vile half-breed tunnel troll, even to the fracturing of blood vessels in my body. Even to the fracturing of my mind. My anger for Angus Grand burned within me so strong that I lost myself in the madness of darkness. Many nights I wandered the dreary streets of Gabriel's Harbor searching out the forgotten souls of this dead world that I might enact my vengeance upon them, in pretense they were Angus Grand. It was only by the blood of those poor wretched souls that my lust for vengeance was sated, but fear not my love, I only chose the dregs of this world. Although at times I chose the Black Mist infected souls out of pure pity, the guilt was too heavy for me to bear and it did not satisfy the monster within me.
I beg of you not to hate me for what I have done and am about to do. I do not suppose any man with such a broken heart as I, would do any less for the one he loves, but I ask your forgiveness in advance for the deeds I am now blood bound to fulfill. It is for the restoration of your life that I have pledged myself to their dark demands and in doing so, I have betrayed the world for you. For love.
Forever yours, even into darkness.
Hans - The Puppet Master
