So Dreams Wander to Die
Some tell that when dreams fade their spark, they are pulled into a shadowy realm. A place referred to as "The Blackness". There, they evaporate into wisps of smoke, forever obscured. It's a desolate fate for those who once held the promise of greatness.
The path to this realm is often subtle, manifesting in the moments when hope fades. It can be a slow descent, or a sudden and shocking fall.
But, some say that dreams don't always die. Perhaps they just evolve, taking on new aspects in a realm unknown to our minds.

Broken Promises, Shattered Vows, Failed Expectations
Life rarely deals us a hand full with broken promises. We build our worlds around these assurances, placing our hearts and souls into dreams that flutter. But when those vows are broken, the damage frequently run deep. The belief we held crumbles into dust, leaving us fragile.
- We're left
- lost in a sea of regret
- Our very being
- may become fractured
That's a difficult truth that many of us face. But even in the midst of that devastation, there exists hope. We are able to mend our broken pieces and arise stronger than ever before.
Echoes from the Inferno
From the abyss of infernal torment, whispers drift. Fragments of souls, fragmented beyond imagination, cry for forgiveness. Each scream a testament to the horror that haunts this dimension. A chilling premonition of the unending consequences that engulf those who fall into its grip.
