Prologue: Dreams

A figure is walking alone in a wide plain of yellow flowers…..

Where am I?

What is this place?

A bright light appears….

A woman surrounded by white light descended upon the fields.

Who are you?

The woman gestured to the figure to come closer.

What do you want from me?

The woman pointed to her left, to the horizon.

Is that what you want me to do?

In the horizon, lies a shadowy image of a great city.

The figure kneels down.

He took out a dagger from his waist, and wound his other palm with it.

He clenched his wounded palm and let the blood drop to the ground.

As you wish, my mistress.
