I am here to relay to you a story that occurs in a time not to long ago, somewhere not too far away. This is a story about a boy called Krislon, who has been locked away in the cellar for over a decade merely because he is...shall we say special. This is also a story about a girl called Ailia, who has been removed from her hometown due to her father's need for inspiration.
But, most importantly, this is a story about the beautiful and lonely demon-spirit, Yan-gant-y-tan, the Wanderer in the Night. Not directly of course, but he is always there, lying under the words and the hearts of the two aforementioned characters. His light illuminates the darkness that lay within them.
Just remember, cherished reader, this story is not for the faint of heart, and you have been warned.
