It was the beginning of the Dark Ages across Europe… The mood of the people left them in despair. There was very little light to keep the population going. Murder, disloyalty, famine, disease, solitude and war effected everyone, as it became apart of daily life. Bruce was no exception to these events even with his royal status. From the time he was a young child, beginning with the murder of his mother, and throughout his life, Bruce couldn’t get away from the atrocities that kept rampaging toward him. They were like a moth to a flame with only a few moments of respite. Bruce himself was filled with a darkness. One he would revel in without thought. One he would embrace at command when it was suitable. This was what could have been attracting what lurked in the shadows. The darkness followed and inevitably lead him to his fate.
