Chantra has left her childhood behind, but in so doing has lost touch with
that which could save her in the coming days.
Excerpt from Chantra's Awakening
In the murkiest corner of the Unknown Territory, beyond the fathomless
void of time and existence, the Dark One felt it. Alerted to the sensation It
had been waiting, watching, delving and devising for, It instantaneously stopped
what It was doing. Every fiber of Its being was awakened. Every aspect of that
day was altered. It was not just another passage of time. It was not just

brighter than before. Its heart beat liquid hatred, pulsated with vile infamy.
The laughter that rose from Its lips could have extinguished a world, except

wicked glee upon their grotesquely twisted faces, they comprehended what the
change meant. Their master was not alone in Its anticipation. They all shared

eighteenth birthday arrived. Why such a thing as the eighteenth birthday of one
girl from Earth would have such an impact of the Dark One was not something that
would be understood without first understanding the past of all the
participants. The world of Andro was the world of her father, Arcan. The world
of Andro was one of the worlds with a longstanding connection between its rulers
and the Dark One Itself. From as far back as the history of Andro was
remembered, it was a world of dark deeds and corrupt, evil rulers. Many had
surrendered the little humanity they had left to gain favor with Evil Itself.
The people of Andro became more corrupt themselves as such things were rewarded
and things like goodness and decency were punished. The world bore the scars of
what had been done on it and was sinking into decay…
