FROM MORTALIS
TO OBLIVION
Jennifer Tate is pretty ordinary – or so she thinks. Sure,
her life has been tough, losing both her parents as a
baby and growing up in a string of foster homes. But
Jen is a fighter - she knows how to get by. Now
twenty-one, she works as a waitress, scraping together
money to put herself through college. Jen lives with her
boyfriend Lewis, lead singer in an up and coming rock
band. It is hard to believe that it was almost two years
ago that fate brought them together, two souls more
alike than either can quite comprehend.
Just lately, Lewis has been having really bad
nightmares… Dreams that makes no sense, dreams
that he can’t even begin to explain to Jen…
Then one night, as his band nears the end of their set,
Lewis spots a huge, staring, misshapen figure. He is
unnerved and leaves the stage in a sweat - even Jen is
unable to reassure him - something is not right.
As they leave the club, Lewis’s nightmares become
real… A monstrous creature bellows into the night. Jen
is knocked to the ground, hitting her head hard. As she
blacks out, her last vision is of her boyfriend, lifted
away into the night-sky as if he were a rag doll.
As Jen slips in and out of
consciousness, images of doctors and
nurses standing over her give way to
visions of talking stone gargoyles. She
sits up, looks down on her still
unconscious body. Scree, servant of
Arella, goddess of Order is about to
change her life, forever.
