Prologue
Herein lies a tale of meaning, a story that is about us all, one that all human beings can learn from. It is the story of Alissa, a young human girl living in a dark world. This dark world is something that sits in the back of all human minds; it feeds off of our pain and grows stronger with each hardship. But Alissa's world is a physical place ruled by a shadowy figure who sits on a throne of lies, deception, and tyranny. In a place like this, Alissa would not stand a chance on her own. But she is, and that is where our story begins to unwind.
