When darkness fell upon the world, he was the first to flee. The first to hide. He warned his friends, but few would listen.

And life goes on...

He sheltered as many took upon chance the power of the dark. He watched as countless failed, and others go further... twisting to insanity.

And life goes on...

For most the darkness afflicted physically. For others, it could not penetrate. But those who hid could not hide from the mental torment that followed.

His heart shattered from the isolation. His gut wrenched at the ignorance of the twisted. His mind tore from the deeper feeling of loneliness, deeper than even the very ocean itself.

And life goes on...

When the sun would rise again, he would be the last to emerge, to rejoin his friends.

They will all be the same... yet all will not.

To his eyes, they were lost men. To their eyes, he was a madman.

And life goes on...
