The noise was not loud, it came from far away and it was more like a constant rumble from thunder. Normally I wouldn't have payed much attention to it, but it disturbed my sleep. Slowly but surely the noise woke me up. When it did, I was for a moment confused. The room was not familiar to me. It was about eight feet's long on every side. It was pitch black in the room, however I still could see perfectly. To my left was a big Eluvian. The mirror was decorated from two howling wolfs. I looked at it for a while trying to remember. What had happened. The last thing I did remember was…. I groaned the memory was gone. Sighting I moved my legs over the edge of the bed and placed them on the cold stonefloor. The cold stone did help me to wake up fully. The green vailfire burned in the palm of my hand as I casted the spell. Shadows and light danced over the walls and the dull Eluvian. While the flame burned, I looked around. The bed was covered with white sheets and on the headside was a table. The white robes and my long hair rustled as I walked to the table. On it was a long object, covered in grey cloth. It was a sword. I had created it a long time ago. It was made from the abyss and did hold the power of the void. I had named it Gynvael. The blade started to hum a bit and vibrated softly as I touched it. The blade could shift its forms and appearance if I did so desire. Once I had my sword back I walked to the Eluvian and looked at its dull surface. Unlike the thousands other Eluvians in the network this hadn´t a password. The way to unlock it was….blood? My blood? I looked down to my pale hands. The were wrapped in old grey cloth. The bandages covered my arms and reached up to the elbows. With a quick movement i opened my left wrist with my black nails and let the blood who gushed forth hit the mirror. The glas flashed to live and then i walked through with a smirk. Time to find out what was causing the noise, that had interrupted my dreams.
Once I had passed the Eluvian, things did not get any better. The disgusting sound was still there. It ringed in my ears and gave me a headache. Together with the sound came a sickly green light. The light did fell through a window to my left. That too did hurt my eyes and groaning I turned my head away. This wasn't normal everything of it. I let out a small laugh. Well I was in the fade so nothing was normal there. But this was really to strange, even for the problem was due to my long sleep I still was weak and my memory wasn't complete jet again. However I had an idea where I was. I turned to the window and looked outside but I couldn't see very much. Whatever caused the sound was on the opposite side. With a snarl I started to follow the corridor. Normally I would have used an Eluvian to travel, but the one I had come trough was not connected to the network. I turned around to look at it once more. The Eluvian was hidden from stone and the wall looked like nothing else had been there before. My steps were slowly and heavy. It took me a while to find a stair to get downwards. I had been here many times but thanks to my amnesia everything was blurry. The city was dark every stone had turned from crystal clear white to a sickly black. With reed lines. Dead whispers of ages long past could be heard. But I ignored them. While I walked I tried to bring order in my mind. One of my questions had been answered, but now my next question was, what caused the disgusting noise and the sickly green light. And what was that?. I stooped on a big red line of Crystal…. The line was coming from somewhere deeper in the city. I stretched my left hand out and touched it. It was warm to the touch but hard like crystal. I smiled as my memory about that got clear. It was Lyrium yes, but corrupted. And it was not from a titan. It was from the abyss, where the forgotten ones were. But what did it do here? I smiled weak and did shake my head slightly. I could ask them anytime. But that could wait. First I needed to get out of the city. Finally I pushed the mighty doors open. I harsh wind blew against me and let my hair dance behind me. I moved backwards in a corner. My body was to weak and I had problems not to fly away like a leave in the wind. The city was floating in the sky. Around it was nothing but the green light of the fade and deep below it I could see spirits and demons alike. The maddening sound was still present and much louder. I opened one eye and searched for whatever caused the sound. I didn't need to search long. In the sky was a massive hole. The vail was teared open flashes like lightning moved around its spinning edges. The hole in the sky rotated clockwise and made an awfully loud sound. Spirits and Demons alike were drawn to it trying to slip through the vail. I knew the spirits wouldn't be able to maintain their personality and purpose once they had managed to pass through the vail. Eventually everyone would turn into a demon. I looked downwards and saw the green waters of the fade. Sighting I walked left and then to the edge of the rock formation the black city stood on. The wind from the breach wasn't that strong here. I smiled and turned around taking a last look at the dark corrupted walls and then let myself fall downwards
