~The network feed goes to static and fades to black before fading back in on a view from a hotel room. Out the window is … Canada? The camera turns around to see Gebin sitting on the bed of the hotel room with his hair hanging over his face. He slowly sits up and we see him in his full wrestling gear.~
~He whips his hair back behind his head as he looks at the camera~
~He smiles and then it quickly recedes into a somber smirk.~
~He nods earnestly. He then looks towards the window~
~He quickly turns sad and shakes his head as his hair jostles back and forth~
~Gebin rises to his feet. He paces the room with his hands behind his back interlocked. He appears to be thinking~
~He raises his hand to the camera~
"You’ll need to pardon the setting Fireside faithful, you see before the show on the 21st I have some business to attend to here in the great white north. Bringing home victory to The Nihilists and Fireside in the NPW Cruiserweight Classic. And then assuring the NPW tour of the Junior Heavyweight title features two Fireside wrestlers if Myojin can retain."
~He whips his hair back behind his head as he looks at the camera~
"And after the first three rounds, we’ll know if I return a victor or not. And then … well I suppose I get my receipts for my actions at Good Riddance 2020. It’s true what they say, you need to start off the year on the right foot. To be able to get all you want out of life you need the right attitude and a bright start can help fend off the darkness. Not the all-consuming void at the end, but the general malaise so many of us have felt in 2020. I simply did what any friend would do Dread Lord. I made sure my partner started off on the right path."
~He smiles and then it quickly recedes into a somber smirk.~
"I do apologize but we are a tag team first and foremost, the body tends to react on its own accord, an autonomous instinct if you will. So I can understand if you are in a dour mood oh great dracolich. If you have a bone to pick with me, or several as the case may be … I accept that."
~He nods earnestly. He then looks towards the window~
"After all, it is only fair that you get me one on one to try and settle the score, having scraped out a win by the skin of our teeth. We thought going into this whole event that you would understand us. That you of EVERY person in this network could understand our ethos and the mythos of the void."
~He quickly turns sad and shakes his head as his hair jostles back and forth~
"But you were less than the sum of your historical parts. You left us wanting. There was no insight, there was no advice, there was no purpose. You turned out to be all hunger and violence. All instinct. All … here and now. For someone so long-lived and … I suppose long dead … you were not what we expected. The encounter with the void has done nothing to change the primitive, prehistoric animal you are. And it is clear that any diatribe I might have about the darkness and the like will be on deaf ears as you seek out your next meal and shenanigans."
~Gebin rises to his feet. He paces the room with his hands behind his back interlocked. He appears to be thinking~
"So it is on me to try another method. I want to bring out what makes you tick. I want to see the you behind the reptilian visage. I want to learn from you. And teach your life experience to the world in our own message. So how do I reach your inner self? Simple, I have to make you think. I have to break you of your instincts. I need to make you free the soul of the Dread Lord lost to the void in the inky tar and bring him back into this world. For once darkness is not going to cut it Dinosaur Bones. I have to make you WRESTLE me, THINK about me, FOLLOW me. For Esmur it was a show for survival and a win was necessitated. For me … less so. I need to bring out the knowledge hidden within the shell of your bones."
~He raises his hand to the camera~
"Ironically it is up to me to use my darkness … to bring you back from the void … and show you the light. Embrace … infinity."
