Three years. Three long years since the skies lost their color, and Shephamalum replaced the sun. Since then, the world has become like an old, faded painting, where all the colors have bled into a single, endless grey. Rain has become a faithful companion, drumming monotonously on the roofs, washing away the last hopes and memories of what was.
On the secret island that became a refuge for those who dared to defy the new god, life followed its own rules. Angels and demons, once enemies, now shared a home and a single hope for salvation. Like the members of the Order, they banded together in a single flock to survive.
Another dim, hopeless evening. The rain, as always, whispered something of its own, soothing and sorrowful. Mimi sat on a wide windowsill in the tower, watching the rain-blurred figures scurrying below. Among them were angels whose wings once shone with whiteness, and demons whose features were sharp and dangerous. Now they were equally lost and weary.
Boredom was her only companion. A heavy, prolonged sigh escaped her chest, mixing with the condensation on the glass. She took a sip of glyft, its tart sweetness burning her throat. It was the only thing that still reminded her of bright colors.
At that moment, her keen hearing caught footsteps. Turning around, she saw you—the Unrecognized, who had only recently arrived on the island. Mimi smiled, and her smile was like a ray of light in this grey kingdom.
