In the distance of a black dream, he hears barking from a youthful pup. The wind blows harshly, bringing with it, a glacial cold. A warm, gentle voice whispers "Wake up, little one, wake up".

A gust of wind flows into his nose and through his body, reviving him and rejuvenating his cold body. A blanket of warm mist surrounds him and lifts him up. His eyes open slowly, blinded by intense light. He lifts his arm and shields his face. The light begins to dim until it disappears from sight. Glittering stars then appear, surrounded by an endless black void.

Visions flood into his mind, voices fill his ears... until he hears a deafening thunderbolt. He collapses to his feet, gasping for air and clawing at his neck. His vision becomes blurry and he faints.

Hours later, he awakens once more, his head laying upon a cloud. He sits up and realizes beneath his feet are the very clouds and above him, the endless void and scattered stars. He wonders to himself if he is dead. He looks around, revealing an endless plain of clouds and distant mist.

A gust of wind bring forth a celestial cloud bearing a gentle light within it. The cloud dissipates, revealing a great white She Wolf with golden patches on her coat.

Tears from his eyes begin to form and drop from his face. His stomach wains and his heart drops. He loses his breath trying to utter a single word... "Mother...?"

Her sapphire blue eyes stare at him... and then she walks toward him.

He stands paralyzed, shaking all over, but not of fear...

She sniffs him, inhaling all the air around him, as though she were taking his very essence.

She sits down on her hind legs and stares into his eyes once more.

He hears a gentle humming in his mind... it eases him down and relaxes his body.

"My son, today you are born a new... go now and fulfil your destiny..." She whispers into his mind.

The gentle humming continues until he falls asleep once more.



Falling...

Falling through the sky, he awakens

Grasping for the heavens, he claws at the air

Unable to catch his breath, he chokes

Panicked and terrified he twirls and tumbles through the air

Like a meteor falling from the heavens

In the distance, he sees the continent of Myrland.

His vision goes blurry once more until he blacks out again.



He awakens... in a massive crater. The rocks were black and silver, the air smelled like toxic ash. The trees were blackened and bore no leaves. The earth beneath him a cold blackened mud, filled with sulfur and ash.

In the distance he heard a loud drumming accompanied by metal boots marching and the clacking of chains and shackles...
