World Building Part I  

Leo's mind drifted back to the past, to that first moment he'd stepped foot in the Abyssal Plains and began his partnership with Morgana. 

It began with darkness, a darkness so cold that Leo couldn't stop shivering despite no longer having a body at all. 

"Wh-what's happening to me?" Leo asked, but no response came for him. 

After what felt like hours of drifting in and out of consciousness, Leonardo Dante finally opened his eyes and found himself in a place that was clearly out of his world.

His gaze drifted up, but instead of the night sky he was expecting, above him was a series of rolling gray clouds interspersed here and there with forks of lightning that were a bright shade of teal. 

He turned his gaze on the horizon that was as bleak as the sky above it. Patches of dark grass were dispersed between black earth and outcroppings of rocks.
