Shadows swirl around as ear-piercing screeches ring through Raigal's head. As he had grown accustomed to, his mind is being tortured by nightmares yet again.

A deep, chaotic laugh sounds out as a face manifests in front of him, "I understand... If you want to rid yourself of these shackles all you have to do is offer yourself up... Let your power run free and I can grant your wish..."
"I know!" Raigal shouts, "You and father have been saying that my entire life, I know what I have to do."
