Prologue
"A dark night meets a dark past,
Night will come and it will last."
The sound of soft footsteps could be barely detected, the creaking of the door was the only indication that someone was there.
"'Thena?" A soft voice called into the seemingly empty room.
Silence.
"Athena?" The voice called louder, stepping into the room.
It was neat and tidy.
But its owner wasn't anywhere to be seen.
An audible sigh could be heard.
"When darkness falls, the day shall come. When night disappears, light shall prevail."
"No. I won't. You cannot make me!"
"Yes. You will. I can."
"No! I won't! I won't!"
A sharp thud rang clear into the night sky.
"I won't." the voice repeated softly, before turning away into the balmy night.
Two figures appeared in the shadows.
"Did you bring it?"
"Of course."
"Did you bring a map?"
"Yes…."
"Did you bri-"
"Let's go."
With a final look back in different directions, they set off.
To begin a new life, with a dark past, and with a dangerous secret.
But as long as they had each other, they'd be alright.
