Set to the journey of a lone spirit, an unspoken soul is abandoned by this world, ensnared by the very dream they created, lost in space and time, driven to a world within that calls for its creator to finish what they began. Unaware of their mission, they are taken to an ancient world that is cursed by their presence yet demands sovereignty from this strangers dreaming. Shattered by the presence of this dreamer, a wave of destruction covers the land in darkness, as the dreamer must then defend their innocence, even to their own reflection. Love is stolen, the lands are ravished, and the dreamer becomes the Shadow Warrior of a world they knew nothing abouta world they must preserve, or they themselves will perish.
