Fear

There is one type of fear which is above all the others; in terms of effects, severity and reactions (feelings/emotions).
It could be described as the fear of the unknown, but that only covers part of it. It is the fear of something evil that you know is there (following you/wanting you) for its own purpose, but when you check there is nothing. It is fear that makes you jump at every shadow and run wild in blind panic. Fear of this type can destroy people and minds. It can ruin plans and cause breaking of family and friends bonds. For you will always try to keep one eye on the shadows and never two eyes on problems before you. This fear has been used in many ways and the spell is always broken when the evil reveals itself. But there is another way. To think selfishly will amplify the effects of the fear, only making the situation worse. To overcome the fear you must think selflessly. Think of others who could be in danger and plan and move to help them. Selflessness twinned with faith that a brighter dawn is coming is surely a step toward victory.
