Angelic Sovereign: This is a little bit of a departure for me...a story based in a universe that exists only in my head. This will probably be my most original work, and I'm very excited for it.
My name is Rafe.
I come from a world you wouldn't understand. A world of darkness. A world where the only guarantee is that your existence will be filled with perpetual shadow. A world where life is short and cruel, where men butcher one another in the streets, where children starve so their parents may live, where women are little more than a means to escape the hopelessness of reality…a world where humanity is acutely aware of its insignificance in the face of a superior power.
Our world is Penumbra.
Humans call us Void-Walkers, for we are the only creatures of our world that can traverse the twilight realm that exists just beyond reality.
The Void. An otherworldly place of complete and total darkness, where none can survive except those born of it. My people are half of this world…and half of the other.
We constantly exist in two dimensions at once. We can phase in and out of reality, even travel through the Void and come out into existence wherever we wish, instantaneously.
We are stronger, faster, better than any human can ever hope to be. Let them have their technology, we have no need for it. Their greatest works are for naught when compared to ours.
This is my home. A world of darkness. The world of Penumbra.
My name is Rafe. This is my story.
Angelic Sovereign: A little bit of a prologue for you. You guys know the drill!
