In search of someone who can make him suffer, despite his undeath. His headless form continues to roam the land. Was death the end of all suffering? Or was there more for him to enjoy?Īlas, the answer to these questions remain a mystery, despite his intense focus on the matter. Sure enough, the knight was soon consumed by an all-new desire. There was an inherent problem with his desire.Īfter all, his wish for a taste of death was nothing more than a form of intense curiosity. His face, though no longer attached to his body, broke out into a broad grin. Having transcended life itself, he could enjoy this pleasure for eternity. He had joined the ranks of the living dead. His decapitation had simply allowed him to experience the pleasure of death in perpetuity. Though his head was no longer attached to his body, he was not dead. Once the initial euphoria had worn off, the knight came to a realization. He had scarcely dared to imagine such joy even possible. The pain,intensely exhilarating, was accompanied by the realization that he had taken the final step. With one clean blow, the knight decapitated himself.Īs fresh blood burst from his severed neck, the knight's head fell to the floor. His hand clasped his sword, and put it to his neck. The very next moment, the knight's body began to move of its own accord. He would pay any price that would bring further pleasure. The knight used his final dregs of energy to roar his assent. "If you are able to pay the price, I can satisfy your desire." It said. Moments after he had come to this realization.Ī chalice appeared before him, glowing pure white. "Where does it come from, this desire that swells up inside me.this urge I do not understand?"įinally, the knight understood what was behind his perversion.The fact that his desire was stronger, the closer he got to death made it clear. "What is behind this insatiable hunger for suffering?" More suffering.Īs his consciousness dimmed, the knight thought to himself: Some of them fled, unable to contemplate executing their orders.Įventually the constant blood loss and pain brought the knight to the brink of death.Įven after torturing himself to within an inch of his life, there was only one thing the knight desired. Many of his men felt uncomfortable, even sick, torturing their master. The knight acquired instruments of torture, and every night would instruct his footmen to use them on him.Īs his eyeballs became engorged in excruciating pain, the knight would laugh maniacally and scream at the top of his voice for more. His perverse desire for pain was growing out of control, but the knight had no idea what to do about it.Īll he wanted was to experience more pain. The thrill of taking himself to the brink of death was nothing but a joy. So he decided to tie himself up in chains, greatly restricting his ability to fight.ĭoing battle in chains caused the knight to suffer countless cuts and gashes, but this was exactly as desired. He realized he needed to do something to lure enemies into facing him. With no opponents to strike him, he could not attain the pleasure he so craved. Such an outcome always dissatisfied the knight. Indeed, as his reputation spread, most opponents ran away as soon as they saw him, before he had a chance to engage them in battle. Nevertheless, his ability to make his enemies flee the battlefield led many to believe he was invincible. ![]() ![]() In training and battle alike, the knight fought to get hurt. ![]() The knight didn't know when or why he had started to fight this way.Īll he knew was that he found receiving a blow from an enemy to be much more pleasurable than landing a blow of his own. This apparent insanity would baffle his enemies, who eventually became so disoriented that they would turn tail and flee. He was able to predict his opponents' movements, and despite encouraging them to strike him, would never allow them to land a fatal blow. While most warriors took pleasure in striking their enemies and avoiding their blows, this knight was the exact opposite.Īpparently he would howl with joy whenever struck, and his face would twist with satisfaction. Indeed, he was viewed with curiosity, not respect. There was once a knight whose name was known the world over.īut it was not his abilities that had made him famous. ![]()
