Welcome back horror fans, to Walking Dread! Today, we present a chilling tale that will leave you looking over your shoulder and questioning the thin veil that separates us from the abyss. Get ready for...The Oathbreaker!

This episode follows a group of college students, led by the arrogant Chris, who decide to hold a seance in a musty basement. Seeking forbidden knowledge and cheap thrills, they stumble upon something far more sinister than they could have imagined. Their incantations awaken a powerful entity, not a spirit to be questioned, but a Guardian bound to protect our world from an ancient and unspeakable horror.

Blinded by their thirst for knowledge, they unknowingly break the ancient pact that held the Guardian in place. The consequences? A terrifying glimpse into the void, a chilling realization of their grave error, and a desperate attempt to right their wrongs.

Chris, in an act of self-sacrifice, steps forward to rebind the Guardian. He becomes the new anchor, his very essence fueling the weakened barrier against the encroaching darkness. His friends, traumatized and haunted by their experience, are left to live with the knowledge of the horrifying truth and the ticking clock of the weakened pact.

The world, blissfully unaware, continues to sleep while a monstrous entity hungers just beyond our reality, waiting for the moment to break free and reclaim its dominion.

Will the Guardian's hold last? Or will the students' reckless actions condemn humanity to a fate worse than death? Tune in next time to find out, on Walking Dread!
