Prologue

I didn't want it to end like this. I had always expected to die in a hospital bed, surrounded by friends and family, and not in a damp dark dungeon being beaten to death courtesy of my arch nemesis. My vision blurs as I look up at her grinning face. "You don't have much time left Siren!" She cackles in glee as she bludgeons my abused body with a rusty crowbar. I can feel my life slip through my fingertips as I sink into a cold and unforgiving sleep.
