《Pendulum Zero》Bonus Chapter: A Letter From Down Below
Advertisement
Author’s Note
Hello, world.
It is a scary thing indeed to send one’s words out into the vast great unknown. But, alas here I am, and by some miraculous wonder, so are you.
Pendulum Zero is a dark fantasy story whose idea first came to me in one of the most darkest periods of my life. Reading stories has always single handedly been the one thing that has kept me going during those times where I could find no relief in this world. When I felt like it wasn’t okay for me to exist in this world.
Books have always been my friends, my comfort, my relief, my safe haven.
If, by sharing Casey’s story, I might be able to provide even the slightest bit of one of those things for some soul out there in this universe of ours, the purpose for the creation of this project would have been fulfilled a million times over.
The writings you will find on the pages of this website are but an attempt of trying to capture an undefinable journey of which even I am not sure yet where it is going.
But isn’t that how all great adventures begin?
With lots of fear, a little bit of wonder, and immense amounts of uncertainty.
There do is one thing I am certain of. One thing that all those dark nights have taught me.
It wasn’t that walking in the darkness was the cause of my pain.
No.
It was the fact that I was walking alone.
I realized that even the darkest of paths can become bearable if there is someone walking it with you.
As I said before I am not sure yet where this path, this journey will lead.
But hey, what do you say…
…why let’s not find out together?

They lost a friend in that match, who never appeared online again. Ten years later, the gaming landscape has changed and Abidden with it. Helena is the last remaining Paragon.
