Our story, begins like any other story, with a humble 'Once upon a time'.

This story, like many others, is filled with happiness, misery, and anger.

It begins on a cold winter's night, the moon still low in the sky, not a cloud spoiled the stars that shone above. The night was silent, not a sound could be heard, except for the occasional gust of wind of course. This silence, however, was not meant to last, as it was shattered by the soft crunching sound of snow beneath one's boot. It's at this point in our story we meet our heroine, Lilith, a young woman, her features slim yet bold. On her person she carried not but a small satchel, nearly empty except for the food that would not last her another night. She stopped her trek for a short while, standing still listening to the sound of winter. She raised her glove covered hand to her face, removing her goggles and letting them rest on her neck. Her amber eyes pierced the darkness, as she listened closely for a sound that didn't seem to be there. She quickly spun her head to look behind her, as a figure appeared to be emerging from the shadows of the forest, she called out, "Hello?", but was greeted with nothing but silence. She stared at the figure for a short moment then turned around, almost starting to walk, when suddenly the figure she saw materialized in front of her. She jumped back quickly, sliding on the snow, then she looked at what appeared to be a woman, though in the darkness she couldn't be sure. "Who are you?" She said quickly, trying to swallow her fear and intimidate this mysterious figure. The figure gracefully stepped out into the light, as if floating. To Lilith's surprise it was a woman, wearing a long read gown, with nothing to keep her body safe from the cold. Lilith thought to herself 'Dressed like that? In this weather? This broad must be crazy.". She called out once more "Who are you?!" The woman stepped closer to Lilith, she grabbed the hilt of her dagger expecting a fight, however the woman finally spoke, in a tone that seemed almost angelic. "My my Lilith.. So far are we from home, and alone on a night like this?" Lilith flinched slightly, shocked from what she just heard. "How do you know my name?" She said, as she gripped her dagger tightly. The woman waved her hand gently, as Lilith's eyes glazed over, and she began to struggle to stay on her feet. Her grip on her dagger loosened, as her hand slipped off of it, and she fell to the cold ground. The woman walked up to her, chuckling slightly as if it was too easy, then the world went black for Lilith.
