Lesser beings gazed upon it with awe and gratitude. It was their savior, preventing the greater evils of the universe from dominating the weak and oppressed. Tales of its unyielding gallantry ascended to lore. For years, elders proclaimed its wondrous exploits to their children whose wide eyes gleamed with wonder and admiration.
Yet, even a being such as this must one day pass into the beyond. The creature understood this, and accepted it with a dignity becoming its noble nature. Evil still sought dominion, however, and the fragile balance of creation still needed its champion. To answer this call, the being took an arduous burden upon itself. It sacrificed its freedom, prestige, and repose to bind itself to a grand machine whose intricate workings allowed the creature to continue combating the malevolence of the world at the cost of the being's very life."
