Synopsis

"There is so much pain in this world, but not in this room. A cozy room where the aroma of my mother's crafted scented candles permeates a safe and comforting atmosphere. This protective bubble of an imaginary room that I have tucked away in the most precious parts of my mind is where I wander into when I feel anxious about where I am heading towards. I must pay the ultimate sacrifice for everyone I love in this room. This room is not empty. It is full of everyone I've ever cared about. They all stare at me now. A hollow, lost expression in their eyes. I betrayed anyone I ever loved. I betrayed my father, my lover, my home. I know what I did, and I know why I did it. More than anything I want them all back. I don't want to be alone." - Tyde Viktor

"Candles, by design, burn, and life, by design, ends. In the meantime doesn't it smell nice?" - Lola Viktor

"With my gift I see all, with my blessing I control all, and with my curse I have become a traitor to those I love. I have watched the heavens fall as a child. All of its splendor rained down on us and blessed us with its fertility. The demigods frequented my mothers tent, she was our village whore. I had too many siblings to count and none of us knew of our father. The village elders didn't know what to do with us so he made us follow the shepherds hunt, hoping we would die off on our own." - Dior Vain

*********************************************************************************************************

In a world where gods and demons grant powers to those who vow loyalty to them, a war wages between the abyss and the peaks. The oceans have dried up centuries ago, and the vast body of water that once covered 70% of the earth now fills the sky above the clouds. There in the "Oasis", beings known as demigods rule the abyss and its inhabitants, trying with all their efforts to wipe out the human race.

Where the deep coral crevice's of the ocean floor left barren by the lack of water are portals that spawn flesh eating creatures from the depths of hell known as ghouls. A mysterious fog has covered this region of once oceans and it has since been called the abyss.

The ghouls and the demigods army has pushed humanity to the brinks of peaks of mountain tops. There, they have created a safe haven and floating islands where the most powerful vessels (people who have been granted powers by demons or gods) dwell. This new thriving civilization is called the peaks.

Growing up along the coast between the peaks and the abyss has been incredibly difficult for Tyde and Dior. They have both been orphaned due to the war and through unfortunate circumstances, been granted powers of their own. In a sudden twist of events, they are cornered with a choice to side with the abyss or to side with the peaks. Either option seemed hopeless. Why not eliminate them both?
