You probably have met Umbra, you simply don't remember her. She seems like any other young woman: smiling, accomplishing nothing more than the ordinary daily life routine, not talkative enough to peak your interest.
What you didn't know though, before forgetting her, is the secret she's hiding. In the silence that you hear, she can perceive their voices. Depressio, Sollicitus, Culpa, Solum, and Vita... all five of them speak to her. Some yell, and some whisper, but they all hold on to her.

Archeia's Atheneum (The First Shift)
You're awake. You're different. You exist, suddenly, as two things. You, the one you know, with the body and name you're familiar with--and this new you, the one exists within you. This you is inhabiting a world within your own. This other consciousness that you see through has begun to sense its timeline, each word a moment. Like the you you're familiar with, this self seems to come into its life mid-story--though the way you experience this life/story differs vastly from what you're used to. As you grow you will eventually know how to articulate it, even recreate it. First, however, you must choose to embark on/in this small incarnation; you must read the first word. For those who will tread forth on this journey, we salute you. You have been dubbed Archeia, may your journey be ever abundant.Complete
