Prologue - Calling
A girl with long black hair is chained in the crucifixion style, her eyes are bound with a runic covering, and multiple runic chains are flowing around her hands and legs. All around her is darkness, as if in an area separate from the world. Suddenly, a rift in the plane is opened, a man steps inside her prison, she does not seem to notice, he walks up to her, pausing for a moment before he kisses her, blood covered by shadows flows down onto the blackened ground.

"It's ironic isn't it? Your body is being tormented and your mind being ripped apart by nightmares, but if you're not alive, then I can't continue living."

He utters as he turns away from her while the rift begins to close.

Prologue Version 2.0 - Calling
Inside a world of darkness, a girl is chained in a crucifixion style, runic symbols encircle her legs, hands, and face. A light suddenly pierces the darkness as a rift opens into the plane. A man enters, she does not seem to notice, he approaches her and kisses her deeply, blood dripping into the shadows when he releases her from his lips.

"It's ironic isn't it? Your body is being tormented and your mind being ripped apart by nightmares, but if you're not alive, then I can't continue living."

He utters as he turns away from her while the rift begins to close.
