Prologue

In visions of the dark night

I have dreamed of joy departed-

But a waking dream of life and light

Hath left me broken-hearted.

- Edgar Allan Poe

I didn't mean too. I just thought they needed more sleep and now...they're gone...forever...

I didn't stay in Bathory, I ran away from it when Nelly was asleep. I can't go back, it's too painful, knowing I'll never see them again.

I was alone and no one else was like me but then I met someone. Someone who was just like me, now I know what my purpose of living is.
