Long ago, two races ruled over the Earth: Humans and Akumas.
One day, war broke out among the two races.
After a long battle, the humans were victorious.
They sealed the akumas underground with a magic spell.
Many years later...
[Mt. Ebott, 201X]
Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return.
And yet.
There is a girl on the mountain, walking aimlessly, not paying attention to where she places her feet. And she trips. Directly into a deep chasm.
Her stomach churns as she falls, her mouth open in a silent scream. She lands ungracefully, and her vision wavers as pain stabs at almost every part of her body. She thinks she can see small flickers of movement around her, but she can't be sure.
As her eyes drift closed, she wonders if she'll die right here, under the mountain. It's her last thought as the darkness overtakes her.
