<em>There once was a time when you had a different life. You remember it as if it was yesterday. You remember cities, people, a whole world. Then a crack in the sky. Then a stillness that seemed to last a hundred years. You remember gods, known and ancient and new, fighting in the sky, ripping up through the earth, filling every bit of air and flame and water. You remember a woman's face, dirt and sweat on her brow as she fought against an incredible horde of darkness that bore down on you. You saw her, and for a second, she saw you. When you awoke, you came to in a world changed. As if she plucked you out of hell and gently placed you around a gently burning campfire. Along with your first breath in this new world, you felt a whisper at your neck. "Live. Survive."</em><br/>
