[There's a new addition to Fayren and Genessia, and he comes as a very dapper blond prince. Really, he's far too fancy for his party. But maybe someone will mistake it for a costume? He's opted for a childish mask that makes him look like a lion, and he seems to be enjoying himself. When he tilts back the mask, there's a smile on his face. He can't be more than sixteen.]

I didn't think I would end up in the middle of a Hallow's End party. Quite a lively place, isn't it? It seems I chose the correct archway after my arrival. To be honest, this entire transportation system is incredibly fascinating-- oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Anduin.

[He leaves off his title for now, not wanting to bring more attention to himself. For now, he'd rather just pretend he's no one special.]

Can you really see me? And hear me? Amazing. I do have a few questions for whoever is listening. I promise I won't take up too much of your time.

Stay away!

[Levy's running from her store when her nightmare catches up with her. Her feet trip over themselves sending her crashing towards the cold ground. Her phone drops from her hand, her attempts to call for help useless and yet the video feed begins to play. Those watching see the blue haired girl with stains on her cheeks and dirt covering her dress, there is fear in her gaze as she turns back to look at who’s chasing her.

A low chuckle can be heard but before the man chasing her comes into view the feed ends.]

[Cont: Action]

You forgot? Let me remind you.

[The words are thick and heavy, a cruel note to his tone as he slowly steps closer. Levy shakes her head, her heart aching knowing that she forgot her friend. It doesn't matter if they weren't close. He had told her to be strong, to keep fighting and yet she let the memory slip away thinking of some greater good.

Is it even worth it?]

I didn't mean to.

[Except she did, there is no undoing it. Tears freely begin to streak down her face as the Redfox steps closer. Each moment only adding to the fear and pain she held in her heart, knowing what she’s done; Levy doesn't even try to escape.]

[There's an audio message start start with a sharp mechanical voice.]

Torii!

Ah, that's no good, Torii... I'm trying to communicate through this device. Will you let me?

[The sound of mechanical flapping wings can be heard as the bird seems to leave the man talking for a while.

The boy will start speaking, his tone is full of calm.]

Hello. My name is Kira Yamato and I think I'm in need for a place to say for tonight. Of course, I plan on finding a job and a place to call my own... but for a night or two, I would appreciate some help.

Of course, I don't expect to get a place for free.

[Anastasia suddenly bursts from the doors of what she thought was the home for children after realizing it was all a hallucination. Her entire trip from the party in Fayren to Genessia was nothing more than a dream. She was still in Fayren, but she had no idea where. She ran for a some time, feeling like something or someone was chasing after her.]

"Help! Please, help me! Something's chasing me! I..."

[With a terrified shriek, the feed suddenly stops...]

[Action]

[Anastasia quickly slid to a stop in front of a tall man in a dark blue monk's robes. His hair was white, but his eyes were strangely hollow. Holding his hands behind his back, the man began to walk towards the girl, who had both a look of fear and hate on her face.]

"You! Why are you here?!"

"And you think you would be safe? You have a lot to learn about your new God-King..."

[Anastasia tried to run back to the children's home, intent on finding support against this man who was her enemy from back home. The man held his hand out to the girl, and she suddenly began to slow to a stop. Anastasia looks to be struggling with all her strength, but it proves to be in vain as the man turned his hand, and the girl turned around to face him.

Her pulled his arm in and Anastasia began to do a puppet-like walk over to him. When she was within reach, she was thrown down to her knees by the unseen force.]

"You're not real! You're not real!" [She struggled harder against the power holding her, but the force only presses down on her harder.]

"I AM real!! You are no hero! You have lost this war! You have failed your people! Failed your friends! Failed your world! You are NOTHING! Surrender to me! Call me your God-King!"
"No!!"
"Surrender!!"
"No!!

[Anastasia's strength was beginning to wane the more she fights back this nightmare. She was certain this was some sort of nightmare, the hollowed-out eyes in his face were signs this was a nightmare. However, the more she resisted giving in to his demands, the more she couldn't tell herself this wasn't real. The more her fear began to take over, the more demonic her enemy became. She doesn't know how much longer she can hold out.]
