Darkness. Many are scared of it. Most are uneasy about it. Few enjoy it. One revels in it. That one is the one to be afraid of. That one is the one to fear. That one is the one that the 6-year-old child checks under his bed for before allowing mommy to turn out the lights. That one is the future CPW world champion. That one is Cyrus Grey. And there, is where we find ourselves. Inside the darkness that Cyrus loves. Darkness so dark, that it could swallow any light. However, even in the darkness, motion can be detected.

A small television flickers on, to static first, but slowly, a picture comes to view. The black and white picture finally makes itself known. Shaking and grainy, obviously a camera phone, the scene comes to view. Cyrus Grey is standing on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Standing in black jeans and a black tank top, he is in stark contrast to the white steps and white building behind him. His dark hair flows in the breeze. Important looking men and women in business suits pass by, unacknowledged by Cyrus. The overcast skies set the mood for what is coming.
Cyrus: The journey into darkness begins on Wednesday. That journey is the one that I will lead you all on. I will be your Cerberus, there to welcome you to Hades. I will lead you to Hades� palace, where you will stay until your soul fades into nothingness. That journey begins in earnest for two men on Wednesday. That journey begins for the CPW. That journey begins for you.
Cyrus points directly into to the camera.
Cyrus: It begins in the ring. It begins with the first main event of CPW TV. It begins with a win for myself. A win for Mr. Reckless. I�ll get back to him later though. First let us discuss the two men whose voyages will be short. First we have the poor soul, Fergus. This is a man who has grown up believing that being Irish is what will help him escape that which comes for all men. I have news for your Fergie; the punishment is inescapable. I will be right here in Washington waiting for you. You see Fergie, I feel that you have believed for too long that being Irish gives you privileges; rights to avoid the unavoidable. All men, regardless of race, religion or creed must, at some point, come face to face with a higher power. They must realize that they are not the center of this, or any universe. I am that higher power. I am that realization, and both will meet you head on this coming Wednesday.
Cyrus sits down on the steps, hanging his head, allowing his hair to fall in front of his face.
Cyrus: Now, for Fergie�s partner � Adam Knite. Knite is a guy who considers himself to be the king of wrestling. Mr. Knite, you forget one thing. To be a king, one must be given his authority from the creator. Or haven�t you heard of the divine right of kings? This is the point. I�ve dined with the great creator, and he assures me you haven�t been bestowed any titles from the gods. You are just an imposter. You will be brought into the darkness. You will fade away. Your crown will be stripped from you, your throne destroyed, and your queen�well, she will be dealt with accordingly.
Cyrus pauses for a moment and chuckles to himself.
Cyrus: But don�t get excited princess. I�m not the white knight coming to save you. No, I�m the black knight, the dark knight. I�m coming for one reason. To punish your self-professed king, and to send you back to the firm of profane pervertedness from whence you came! I look forward to setting you back on the path that was set out for you from the beginning sweetheart. I look forward to restoring your soul to both physical damnation in this life and spiritual damnation in the next.
Cyrus looks back up at the camera for a moment before dropping his head again.
Cyrus: That brings me to the other man in this match. The third guy, my partner, the one who calls himself reckless, Justice Hawx. Allow me explain something to you Justice. I am not looking for a friend. I am not looking for a partner. I do not want to go out for drinks after I carry you through this match. You are, and will always be a nuisance. I hope that you just don�t get in my way too much in these next two matches. I will deal with you after those two matches. I find it interesting that the powers that be decided to put us together, knowing that you are the weakest competitor in this tournament. It is obvious those powers do not want to see me as the face of their company. The problem is they have no choice. I am the best they have, and I begin proving that Tuesday, when I single handedly win this match for the two of us Hawx. You call yourself reckless. I agree you are reckless. Just don�t allow your recklessness to interfere with my rise to the top. You�re also lucky. You Hawx, get to continue in this life longer than the others here, because you are teamed up with me. Don�t forget though, you�re time is running out�the end of your days is coming. You say you are bringing back up? I welcome it. I welcome the idea that I am the only man in this match that will be alone. I�ve been alone most of my life. I will be alone for the rest of it. I don�t need anyone. I don�t want anyone. One thing I know about this business, is that friends use one another, and once one is all used up, the other stabs him in the back. I�ll cover my own back.
Cyrus stands up and begins to walk off camera. Just before he is out of shot he stops and grabs the camera, pulling it into his face before speaking.
Cyrus: All of your days are coming to an end, and I will be there, in the darkness to welcome you.
Cyrus stops for a second and seems to be admiring his numerous tattoos down both arms, across his chest and up his neck.
Cyrus: I stand here at the United States Capitol. It is here where the beginning of this country is kept. The original Declaration of Independence rests in a case, just beyond those doors behind me. I came here today to mark a new beginning. I came here today to declare a new independence. I came here to begin the reign of darkness. Consider this my Declaration of Darkness. Consider this to be the start of the war for darkness. Consider this to be the beginning of the most dominant reign in wrestling history. Just like the Declaration of Independence created the most powerful country in the past 200 years, so will the Declaration of Darkness mark the beginning of the most powerful wrestler ever. The darkness is coming. The darkness is unstoppable. The darkness is inevitable. So is my title reign.
Cyrus holds up both of his hands, with only his middle and ring fingers on both hands extended, making a cross with both sets of fingers. The small television powers off and just as quick as the light came, it was gone again.
The scene opens up again to the inside of a hotel room. On the foot of the white sheeted bed sits Cyrus Grey. He is still dressed in the same black tank top and black jeans. He flips a cell phone in his hands, starring at it as he waits. After a few seconds, the phone comes to life, ringing and illuminating. Cyrus waits for the caller id to tell him who it is before answering.
Cyrus: Hey
........
Cyrus: Well are you going to be watching?
.......
Cyrus: That's fine. Just focus on getting better.
.......
Cyrus: Yeah, I'll be fine.
.......
Cyrus: Well will that do it?
.......
Cyrus: I should've known, you're never proud of anything.
.......
Cyrus: Yeah, I'm not sure I believe that.
.......
Cyrus: Ok, Pop, I gotta go now.
Cyrus clicks the phone back to sleep as the scene fades to black.
