I laugh at you pitiful humans who scurry about this Earth with out a purpose seeking only life, but finding only death. I welcome death. I know what is coming, and the Goddess of Darkness will welcome me into her kingdom when I die. For now, I serve her purpose. I fight wars in her name, and serve as her avatar when needed. When she first came to me, she burned the love out of my heart. Now I find only humor in silly human affections. Love. It's such a short and despicable word. Maybe I could just enjoy fighting until I died, if it wasn't for the city. My city. My own corrupted city that cast me out for saving one of the city's own. The city I spit upon for its treatment of the gods and goddesses chosen people. I swear that one day, I will come back. Something must be done, and maybe, just maybe, the Goddess of the Absence of Light might choose me as her instrument of salvation, or destruction.

Have you ever thought that all this is just a dream someone else is dreaming or your just a character in a story someone else is writing? I was about to turn around, and walk away when I heard it again. I stood still. It stopped. It was like its trying to tell me not to go, and stay here; I stayed for half an hour. Then when the clock hit twelve am sharp, I felt extremely dizzy, and unconscious. I had no clue about what was going on. I tried to scream but instead….. It was a howl…..

((Author's note: This story is going under some fairly major revisions. Though the plot as a whole remains largely the same, I'm restructuring the first few chapters, and I may rewrite the introduction and chapter four entirely. Once I'm through with the edits, we'll see about finally getting to chapter 5.)) Alrymna is a land on the verge of war. Entire villages have been slaughtered, burned almost to the ground. Though there have been no survivors, those who happened on the scene claim it to be the work of dragons, and some are calling for the army to push into the Cotari mountains to wipe them out. However, the king delays action, waiting for solid proof of who (or what) is responsible. But our story starts in a remote town by the name of Denai, where a young hunter by the name of Raynen is tricked into hunting a beast that tore through a farmer's livestock, one that some thought to be only myth. However, the beast soon proves to be only the least of his concerns, as events spiral out of his control and force him into situations far more dangerous he could have ever expected.
