The Warlock

I was seized by a bit of inspiration and decided to throw thistogether. It's unfinished, obviously, and I'd be curious about whatpeople think about what's here and what it might need:

There are many reasons to seek out power greater than yourown. Some do it for glory, some for wealth, some forvengeance. When you made the decision, it felt right, like it wasthe only choice. Now, the claws of something dark and evilclutching your heart, you feel you might have chosen wrongly.

A Warlock used to be normal. Now they're not. A piece of a darkand terrible power has been placed into their heart, replacing partof their soul. Many regret their decision, but the contract is made,their fates already sealed. What remains now is only thequestion: what will you do about it?

The only way to find out t he end of your story is to live it.
