You think you know about shadow?
You know nothing.
I have travelled across the farthest reaches of the Universe; and seen all its horrors.
I have seen planets destroyed in the blink of an eye. Galaxies vaporised by powers beyond mortal understanding. I’ve seen stars go black. Suns explode. I was even there when Time and Space itself crumbled into nothingness.
Through all of this, I have learned the ultimate truth about life.
Dreams... Happiness... Love...
It is all a fantasy. A Dream.
And now it’s time to wake up.
You think you know about shadow?
I am the shadow.
But it is not the shadow you should fear – but the flames within them.
She is waiting…
She is hungry…
She is coming…
