And It Begins

(Cover art by aed-den on DeviantArt)

All your life, nothing but tragedy has found you. You believe you are cursed, destined to find yourself in only the worst possible situations. Ever since your village burned down through an unknown source, you've been travelling as much as you could, determined to keep your "curse" away from innocents. As the years pass, you begin to grow paranoid as you see ghostly figures at night. Blaming it on your prolonged isolation, you neglect to discover what had been haunting your dreams, and why it watches when you're awake.
