        I was now a few moments away from the darkness, I thought that this is it, the end, soon I would face the final curtain, but when I finally reached the darkness, nothing happened, I closed my eyes, I could see nothing anyway, when I did, I opened them again, I was in the darkness, but what is happening?

        I felt my feet hit the ground, what the, I thought, what's happening? I mean, I was supposed to fall straight on my head and die instantly, then how did I fall on my Feet?!

        ,, Welcome, Nathan Johnson. '' Pronounced a voice from the darkness. I know, I hit the ground so fast that I didn't realize I ams dead, that must be it, But, who is this I'm talking to then? ,, Don't worry, you're not dead. '' The voice was now closer. ,, Then what the hell is going on? '' I shouted, my voice echoed deep into the darkness. The voice started laughing, arrogantly, rage flooded me. ,, I won't lie to you like any of my brethren would, you weren't chosen, this happened by coincisedence, I just got out to have some fun, you know, we elder shades get bored from time to time. '' The voice replied, amused. Who is this, elder shade? Shade?! ,, Yes, shade, for now you're inside my mist I can read your mind, right now my name doesn't matter, what matters now is that you will soon become a shade, not an elder shade, but a shade, I will teach you everything after you change. '' The voice was quite amused, I, am going to become, a shade?!

        ,, And now, it begins! '' The voice has pronounced, and then I felt something in the very core of my being, pain, it started spreading so fast I couldn't comprehend what is happening. ,, Now you are changing, it will be over in a few hours, don't worry, you will be in agony for that time, but you will be able to understand, because you're changing, rebirthing! '' The voice was now even more amused, he was right, I am in agony, but I can understand him, every word. The last word he said has made me remember something, the lyrics of a song, Skillet - Rebirthing.

        The voice was laughing again, amused. The pain was in every little cell of me, the agony was unbearable, but I could still hear, still understand.
