Somewhere, in a different time and place...





A woman walks down the streets in Al-Graros, a city in the outskirts of the bustling metropolis Khalid-dil. She had frenzied hair, long to her knees, her dirtied face and broken smile hide the beauty she once had. The dim lights shrouded in the thick fog of night, provides even more cover to the once beautiful figure that used to be the craving of many men and women alike. She walks unsteadily down the lonely, dank streets, laughing randomly at anything and everything that stirs her fancy. Repeating to herself,"my son shall awaken... He shall awaken... Soon..."
Suddenly she sees the silhouette of a man, she straightens herself. Wiping her face with a clean part of her sleeve, her eyes begin to shine with new fire, as if something stirred deep within her. With a shrug her hair fell into place on her shoulders, straight, smooth and silky; once again showing her long hidden beauty. Removing the overall that hid her attractive feminine curves, revealing an intricately designed dress, and a gorgeous body that would turn the heads of men anywhere.

Turning around a corner in the foggy streets, a heavily cloaked man walks briskly through the all consuming mist. Suddenly, he stops dead in his tracks. He calls out to what seems to be emptiness ahead of him. An empty howl echoes from his throat, a signal only for the initiated. Up ahead, a silhouette of a lady assembles itself in the fog. "So, the time is now?", asks the cloaked man in an empty yet deep voice. "Yes, he shall awaken to the summons."The silhouette answers, not implying any emotions. The man then tips his hat and walks off into the night, leaving the lady to recover her beauty and disposition. Another silhouette appears not too long after the man walks off, this time the lady walks towards it. As she stands next to it, the fog momentarily clears between them, in a smooth voice she says, "Son, you're here. Awaken now by the command of the seer."
