Part I (chapters 1-10) constitutes the first sequel of Mikael's new life, taking him to the strange worlds of Lemuria and Atlantis.

Eerie whispers
trapped beneath my pillow
Won't let me sleep,
your memories.
I know you're in this room,

And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
I know the moment's near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
