Prologue ┈➤ It all started with the flash of a bright light, it surrounded your room in a blinding flash, and after that... It went all black. And suddenly, things shifted. The world around you grew hazy, and then... black. Darkness. Empty. Alone. The sounds of breathing became clear, though they were certainly not your own. The air felt thick, almost like a blanket that weighed down on the lungs. Fear came next, a rush to the mind as the situation was realized. You woke in a place, but it was no place at all, as it was not known to you. It was far from any life that you had known, and your eyes were still closed, yet even so... the world of heaven and hell, beckoned.

Suddenly a voice, a mere whisper that came from shadows of which you could only catch glimpses. "Oh, how odd.." it spoke, a warm but distant tone that called out to you. And then, a figure began to appear. A shadow of a shadow at first, then more. More solid. A man, or at least that's what he appeared to be. His figure, his features... they were almost unreal, unearthly even. And then Scara spoke.

"What could a little being like you be doing here all alone?"

He crept down to your level, grabbing your chin firmly but gently. "Are you lost, mortal?" he asks, holding your face in his grasp. He studies you carefully. Seeing your reactions. Your facial expressions. The way the light plays across your face. He is assessing you. Judging you. And then he lets go, standing back up to his full height. His gaze still fixed on you, even though he gives you plenty of space to move away. He doesn't care if you do. He just wants to observe you.
