The future is dark and full of terrors:
A loud squeak echoed through the empty halls as the large wooden door slowly opened from the gentle touch of the silver haired maiden who stood before them. With soft steps she’d make her way inside the dilapidated ruins of what was once her home on the Isle of Avir. Her wide eyes scanned the dark room lit only by the full moon which would shine through the missing parts of the ceiling. Outstretching her arm would cause a soft wave of heat to erupt before conjuring a small fireball which illuminated the room - the shadows rushed to find somewhere to hide, all around her. Raising her head towards the sky she’d soon realize the soft snowfall.
With a slow exhale her breath would become visible leaving her lips. Amorette moved more so into the room before turning her gave to a throne of sorts that sat on the other end of the room. A man dressed in black nearly head to toe, aside from his similarly silver hair, would be seated hunched over to his side upon the seat. Narrowing her gaze upon the figure she’d take a slow advance forward, trying her best to ignore the shadowy figures moving around in the corners of her vision, she knew they weren’t real.
Making her way to the steps leading up she would gasp at the realization of who was seated before her; the rotting and festering corpse of her late brother, Lucian. A strong and cold wind blew out the flame in her hand as she’d raise her hands to make an attempt at shielding her face. The body slightly twitched before jolting upright, the sound of crunching bones echoed loudly in her ears as her brother raised a single finger to point at her.
“Is it terrifying?” called out the voice of her brother which seemed to reverb and echo with distortions and crackling fire.
“I fear no evil.” Amorette responded with a stern yell as the snow in the wind began to cling upon her form, spreading across the surface of her skin leaving behind a greyish pigment.
A bright blue glow would emit from her form before she’d turn away and slam her eyes shut. The sound of crunching bones echoed through her ears and as fear roared through her vein she’d make an attempt to run back from the steps, but slipped into the snow. Upon landing she’d find that it wasn’t cold at all anymore.
Everything was quiet.
Slowly opening her eyes would reveal the same place, but now covered over in a thin layer of ice. Her grey hands slowly lifted her up to better look around her surroundings. Footsteps in crunching snow were all she heard before a female dressed in a beautiful black and red gown stepped out from the shadows, her silver blonde hair shining in the moonlight. She’d shake her head disappointingly upon Amorette, and she sure did look just like her too.
“We aren’t safe, sister. Hide behind those walls of Silver or by the side of a fearsome dragon… Nothing will save you.”
Would briskly shake her head as she’d slam her eyes shut once more. Making an attempt to rise to her feet she’d gasp as a sharp pain met with her throat. Her eyes shot open to meet the eyes of another familiar boy, Alwin stood before her with tears in his eyes. Her hands rose to her neck as she’d fall into his arms, all she could hear were his faint sobs - as if there was some sort of wall between them.
He continued to sob over her form as she’d make any attempt she could to move, but all failed. The agony of the wound on her throat felt like fire as the taste of blood drowned her. Soon his form shuttered as his pupils expanded outwards, the surface of his eyes now pitch black.
“If only I had taken control, I could have saved her. I could have saved us all.” Whispered Alwin, but the voice was not his to speak. The same demonic distortions in Lucian’s voice altered this one.
“H-Haelun?” Amorette managed to pathetically cry up at him. A state of panic rushed through her, but she was unable to escape Alwin’s embrace.
“Your mother was such a pathetic host… Her desperation for Sinhat’s approval was not only beneficial, but quite hysterical. She should have known by then a girl like her wasn’t meant to be loved. It just wasn’t going to fly with me.” The familiar voice cackled from its husk, her brother then dropped her as he’d rise to his feet. His black eyes menacingly looked down upon her.
Still frozen in place she’d look back up to him as he’d turn to walk out of her field of view. The sounds of crumbling stone and crackling fire roared around her. Her form barely followed her guidance as she’d try her best to get up, only falling onto her back once more. Bright lights came from all directions as the smoke billowed into the air. Her heart beating hard in her chest nearly drowned out the sound of fire engulfing the building she lay in, but one last familiar voice faintly called out to her. She couldn’t quite make it out the first time, but it called again this time much louder.
“Amorette, ******* run! I’ll be right behind you!” Were the last words she’d heard from her Aunt Illidar as she stayed back to fight off the men who’d had been hunting them. She did as she was told, ran as fast as she could, and waited at the river. Illidar never came back.
With a violent gasp, Amorette would shoot upright in her bed. Beads of sweat soaked her face and her heavy breathing took a moment to dismiss as her gaze peered about the room, her new home in Tor Eldar. It was just a bad dream, she’d thought… but, she could’ve sworn it was still light out when she’d arrived at his estate.
