"I will be the master of my dreams!"
Aldrich's words echoed in his mind as he opened his eyes and faced the familiar Darkness around him. But something had changed this time.
The Darkness was never uncomfortable, but it felt excessively welcoming to him this time. It was like taking a hot bath after working for many hours continuously.
The Spawn of Darkness felt the power of his element for the first time.
Aldrich took a deep breath and waited for the Call of that enormous being that would guide him to the Veil. Hours, months, and years passed, but Aldrich didn't hear that Call. Yet Aldrich wasn't concerned about it. He had a hunch that if he wanted to, he could walk through this Darkness by himself too.
Aldrich made a meditative posture as the black robe on his naked body fluttered. His white hair shimmered like a candle in the dark and his white eyes glowed like those of a feline in the Night.
