Please help me find this snippet I came across a few years ago:
A young knight finds an eldritch being sitting on a throne in a palace in ruins
He makes a deal with it
Several years later, he goes back to it to pay the price
The price turns out to be that he should take its place, or something like that. But he doesn't know that because it's cryptically phrased
Then he turns into an eldritch being and he feels tired to his bones
It turns out that he was the being all along and now he is somehow stuck in a time loop
The story ends with him making a deal with his younger self
