Chapter Two:
The Veiled Prophet

Deep within a windswept desert, the dark closes in on immense craters of glass, the ruins of a diamond gate, already being covered by the sands. Inside the wounded pyramid, all that remains of the atrocity held within is a cross, stained with blood, and a drained corpse..
And high atop a hill overlooking the whole of Surna, as dusk closes in, a hooded figure stands. It sighs, feeling sorrow for crimes unmendable...
