INFERNO

Prologue

The icy wind bit into my cold, bone white skin with unrelenting determination. The snow fell thick and fast before my scarlet eyes, which although usually most powerful, they now fiercely struggled against this tide of white. I stilled my mind and I concentrated my thoughts on the focus of my expedition. I must not let my emotions cloud my sensibilities! I will not be beaten, I must not be beaten, and I will not be beaten by her!

She belongs in the dark, in the wastelands of nothingness. She is your deep dark fears come to life. She is the bringer of death and poison. She can love you, but only on her terms. She can destroy you with one look, one touch. She must be stopped!

I am the only one who can do it.
