Prelude
Upon every world, in each galaxy, across the entire universe, the stars rule.
Our mighty lieges above have shown you, dear reader, just how far they are willing to go for their entertainment.
They will take. They will give. They will destroy.
They will create. In all timelines and dimensions—all realities and dreams—the stars conquer and reign.
Their darkness is unending, their wickedness all-consuming.
Yet, it is what one becomes in the face of such unflinching power, that is truly terrifying.
For who you are when your knees hit the ground and your face turns up to the sky is what shall splinter and flood.
Which brings us back to our story, where two souls have found themselves upon the precipice of power, where corruption and morality collide.
Both must decide who they will become, and our cosmic rulers are watching.
While the pair are forced to make choices that might seem impossible, something wicked brews around them.
As all falls apart, I encourage you, dear reader, to pray to the stars. For darkness festers from below.
