"I can see the fear in your eyes, prey…" the raspy voice speaks.

    "What are you?" I asked, petrified by the reality now settling in. My heart began racing once more, beating fast, pounding inside my chest. My heart is in a panic, so much it feels like it will burst from my chest at any moment. 

    "That is new." the creature replies, with now a look of curiosity. How I knew of this curiosity is a mystery since there was no sign of curiosity or any sort of emotion from this creature. "They always ask, who am I? Interesting that you choose to ask, what I am. Very interesting… I am one from the shadows. A creature created by fears of mortals. Born to be as I am, to bring fear to those lost here. I am Ravakil, a shadow demon and Guide of Lost Light."

    I took the words spoken to me, letting them sit in my mind, stirring around like leaves in the wind. The panicking of my heart strangely began to cease with each moment after those words. A shadow demon. From all that I know, demons cannot be trusted. With that, I do not hold trust for this creature named Ravakil but a guide of lost light? What does that mean? 

    "Ask and you shall know…" Ravakil quietly says, breaking the silence.

    "A guide of lost light?" I muttered.

    "It is a title. I am a Guide of Lost Light. One that guides those that could possibly understand this Darkness."

    "Understand the darkness?" I ask.

    "The Darkness is a place, a living breathing realm filled with life. None that you can see, but it can see you. However, if you choose, I will guide you. Do you accept?"

    I pondered the thought and without full understanding of all of this, I nodded.

    "Very well Prey. I shall guide you."
