The Holder of Doom, as according to Jack

When humanity was truely younge and Athens was far off in the seas of time Doom was there. I would never advise the weak of mind to attempt this Object, as always the images they may have been exposed to were horrific and unsettling.

You could have gone to any unfinished structure, preferably a wall, and ask to see "The Holder of Doom." The wall would have swung aside revealing a long and winding road.

You could have walked down this road and at your left you would see the great civilisations that were to come. At your right you would see them as they fell. On your left would walk all the people who will be, on your right their ruined corpses.

Wandering from that path brought doom.

You would eventually enter a tunnel, lit by a bright, blinding light. This light could damage the retina. Most would close their eyes and continue by feeling the walls.

A you traveled down the lights might have gone out. This darkness brought doom.

A garden lay at the end of the tunnel. A new younge tree sat in it's centre, budding with apples.

A fate worse than doom fell on He who plucked an apple.

On the top of the tree sat an eagle. At the bottom, a snake. A rodent carried insults between them.

Now is time for the question.

Ask Them, "Are all endeavors doomed?"

They would, in a long and convulted way, say yes. And then let you take their Object.

That was then.

When humanity was youthful and Rome was at the hight of its rule Doom was still there. I still would never advise the weak of mind to attempt this Object. As always the images they may have been exposed to were horrific and unsettling.

You would have needed to have gone to the door of a building that had out lived its purpose and asked to see "The Holder of Doom." The door would swung open revealing a narrow path shotting off into the distance.

At either side stood every living thing, everybuilding, every village, town, city or country that had ever fallen, forever playing out the actions that doomed it.

Wandering from that path brought doom.

Eventually you would reach a tunnel, dark as pitch. Eyes were no use there, they might as well have been closed.

As you traveled down a bright light might have ignited. This light brought doom.

A garden lay at the end of this tunnel a great tree sits in its centre. Grown into it is a man.

Is is the fate of the man who plucked an apple.
