Running around in circles. Looking for the answers. But all that's there is darkness, and a tree. The tree isn't the answer, it's the question. And no one seems to be able to find the solution.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadow was a normal girl, until she found herself trapped in a mysterious place, with only darkness, and a tree. She realised the tree was a question that needed to be answered, but there was something stopping her, a mysterious force keeping her from piecing the puzzle together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoenix. The name of a bird, the name of a boy. He used to be full of colour, but after spending years in a box alone trying to figure out the meaning of the tree, has turned grey inside. Until he met her. She fixed him, and he got his colour back.

Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?
