Chapter 1 - Decay and Rebirth

A woman is soundly asleep when she begins to have visions and nightmares of a mysterious person from her past, as it seems glitchy and distorted, she then awakens and finds herself locked in a Suspension state of hanging upside down with chains in a dark dirty room with a static tv light and a few furniture with materials, beneath her is a table, with a lock pick, she tries to grab it but struggles to reach it, so she tries to levitate her body upwards and after struggling for a while, she finally caught the lockpick and picked the lock that chained her body, she then falls on top the table, then to the floor, where she notices that there are dismembered bodies, she almost puked but managed to hold her cool as she had just woken and is in a mysterious place.

She begins searching for any materials in the room, only to find useless papers and a few surgical tools, and two flare sticks to take them with her, so as soon as she is done, she opens the door and is greeted by a long dark hallway, she walks the dark hallway with the flare stick into the darkness as each corridor is undisclosed to enter as she is cautious to check any but goes into one as she begins to hear some gnawing noises in one of the rooms, she begins to creep in slowly and finds a old disfigured lady eating brains out, and crying, the girl called out to the old lady eating the body, but is then is shooked with fear as the old lady growls in anger as it begins to deform and grow bigger, this terrifies the girl as she begins to slip and almost gets caught but luckly evades it by grabbing a nearby crowbar, she then rushes out of the room, while she runs though the dark hallways, she looks back quickly and sees the horrid disgusting foul beast of the old lady in horror, she then stops as soon as she notices a red light and a being in the middle standing there, the old lady is gone but the being stands there silently before the lights go out, and she then grabs a flare to light up the darkness around her, she looks around and a old lady was behind her, she looks behind in horror and starts to run again, while she ran, the walls began to rumble and zombiefied beings break down the walls, multiple start coming in through. The girl keeps on running until she gets backed up into a corner and runs to a nearby room to barricade herself from the monsters, after that, she goes through a ventilation system to crawl her way out, but accidentally falls, leading her to make noise, alarming the monsters towards Her begins to run as fast as possible until she gets to a staircase and runs upto it and to the exit, after escaping the horde of monsters pursuing her. She saw a small stature being in hooded clothing, standing near the balcony, he didn't speak a single word but let out his arm to reach, almost as if to say something to the girl, the girl was unfazed but confused as she shouted "WHO the Hell are you"?, the hooded being didn't reply instead, stayed silent as the girl began to gravitate up into the air until she falls, as she fell, she notices the being and the building was began to crumble down, then she starts to get tired and gets jumpscared by a horrifying monster.

As she woke up from her Nightmare sweating as if she were in a desert, she went to her desk and began to write in her journal to detail what she had experienced for the past few years.

Journal Entry #257, year 5XX P.C.E. 2

"Sigh, I had that nightmare again, almost as if it wants to tell me something, still, I am unsure if it wants to kill me or keep me safe.. especially that person in the black robes, I am certain that it wanted to speak to me, but the mysteries are unaccounted for as i myself do not know if I want to be in that hellhole again. I must find the answers, whether in my dreams or in Reality, I must find out the Truth no matter what, to find the Elemental Shards to infuse the R.M.D. in hopes of securing a Better Tomorrow, I just hope it won't fail us, I cannot let Inferius Squad down as their leader, especially because of 'Them'."
