And sure, it wasn’t a great first introduction. But now the world is on the brink of war as humans try to come to terms with their friends and neighbors being Stranger than they thought.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Behind it all, something else is stirring, creatures that are twisting minds and possessing unsuspecting people at will, all while entire towns are disappearing overnight. They hide in plain sight, an unknown entity with many faces. And this new threat has taken an interest in me personally, coming after the people I love.</p><br><p>The Ancients weren’t the only thing that woke up and got a taste of freedom when the Briste made their bid for ultimate power. They say I have something they want. That when I survived Griselda and her sorcerers, I didn’t come back unchanged.&nbsp;</p><br><p>And they’re right.</p><br><p><br></p><p>Written and performed by Gwydion Royce</p><p>Sound design by Gwydion Royce</p><p>Cover art by Damonza.com</p><br><p>Courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com:</p><p>Aiyo/On My Way (intro and outro)</p><p>STRLGHT/Rapture</p><p>Dayon/An Obsession</p><p>Toby Tranter/Hidden Madness</p><p>J.F.
