It was raining. A soft silvery drizzle more than proper rain, not that there was anyone awake to see it. The sun had fully set hours ago and everyone was dreaming their dreams.
In one house however, something stirred. Something not of this world. Shadows seeped through the gaps in the windows and under doors. They gathered at the foot of a bed, it's sole occupant sound asleep.
The Shadows flowed over the bed as they made their way towards the sleeper. Sensing something was wrong, the sleepers eyes snapped open but it was too late. The Shadows poured down the sleepers throat and up their nostrils. The sleepers eyes momentarily turned black as the night itself before clearing. In just a matter of seconds, the sleeper was left nothing more than a husk that now housed the Shadows themselves. Tremble mortals! The Lord of Shadows has entered the game!
