Darkness enveloped me like a stifling blanket. I couldn't see a thing. I stumbled my way around a seemingly empty room and found my way into a large, dimly-lit chamber. A large canopied bed stood in the center of the room, its sheets a dark crimson with a duvet that looked like it was made of bloodred crushed velvet. A small nightstand sat beside it with a lone lamp. I got the feeling that lamp wasn't used much. A rug that was most likely wool was sprawled across the floor over expensive-looking hardwood. As my eyes adjusted, I caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing on the other side of the room. My entire body froze as my nerves went haywire. I was getting so many warning signals that this guy might as well had been a bear ready to maul me. 

My vision lightened, and I saw two things that made my blood run cold. The first was a light pink line running all the way around the man's neck. The second was a star-shaped birthmark that adorned the base of his neck. I had a horrible feeling that that mark belonged with someone else's head. Before I could react, he spoke.

"Ah, you're finally awake. Or rather, asleep," He oozed in a voice that melted in the air like honey over my tongue.

"W-what are you talking about? Is-a-am I dreaming?" I could barely choke the words out past my fear.

"Of course. I wouldn't waste the energy on getting you here physically. I just needed to warn you about the Joestars."

"Whom?"

"They're an evil family full of wicked people. The only thing they wish for is the destruction of all things good."

"And why should I trust you? I don't know you at all and you're giving me bad vibes."
