“I had never envisaged that life could transform in the merest of moments. On that fateful day, I was bereft of all I held dear: my parents, my siblings, my friends, my home-everything was lost to me!

My very existence had wrought destruction upon everything I cherished. Since that night, my attempts to evade capture have proved fruitless; they invariably locate me. Yet, one night, in the shrouded embrace of darkness, I was seized by prodigious claws and borne away to distant and foreign realms. With each pursuit, this entity delivers me from peril.
