Light.
Brilliant, white light scatters across the surface of the primordial solution suspending my body.
You awake suspended in a warm, primordial soup with no idea who or where you are.
Breaking free from your watery dwelling, you find yourself in a secluded valley with no sign of life.
A path stretches out before you, illuminating three mysterious buildings and a giant looming tower.
Filled with an unmistakable curiosity, you venture out to the mighty CITADEL to discover the answers to your existence.
The path will not be easy.
There will be difficult choices to make, and harsh truths to accept.
Keep the future in mind as your stumble ahead into the darkness.
