You wake up. It is sudden and feels somewhat. . . .un-natural. you rub your eyes and sit up. blinking away whats left of the drowsiness. When you finally take notice of the surroundings, you are frozen. this is not the room you went to bed in last night, in fact you are not in a room at all. you seem to be on a hill, under a bone white tree with bare branches. Then there was the sky. The sky. it was all wrong. It should be morning, yet it looked like it was twilight. only then do you finally see a figure sitting at the end of your bed. How had you not notice this person before? It dawns on you that this has to be a dream, this woman had grey skin and wings. you sigh with relief. only then does the woman chuckle and get you're attention again. she stares at you and blinks, almost like she had forgotten you were even there.

"Oh, why hello there. My name is Eris, goddess of discord and chaos, welcome. So . . . You want to hear a story do you? One about hero's and great adventures where everyone lives happily ever after in the end? Ahahahaha, oh thats a good one. No, here, there is no such thing. Now . . . have I got a story for you! Noctrosa . . . This is where you are now. Do not mistake - this is not the world you once knew and love. This is a world of darkness. where fear and nightmares come from. all manner of horrors and wickedness call this world home. only fools would come here willingly, though a fool is one thing I am not. you maybe, but not I."

She seems to have lost track of herself, knitting her brow in an attempt to remember. It dawns on you that this is not a dream. her words striking you like a blow. how did you get here? how do you get out? does anyone know you are here?!? Will you die in this place?!?!?! Eris snaps her fingers, getting you're attention once again as she regains her train of thought.

"Where was I? oh right. So here you are, you woke up in a world where your greatest fears and nightmares actually exist. Gods and beings of great power rule these lands, I would know obviously, perhaps one might give you aid? who's to know, only one way to find out. Learn this worlds ways, survive, and conquer your fear. . . . .if you can that is. and with that, the story begins! I bid you good luck dear traveler, my best advice? Try and die bravely will you? welcome to the nightmare"

With a puff of smoke and a last cackle, the goddess of chaos is gone. And you are left with her last words echoing in your ears. "Welcome to the nightmare."
