Week 1, April, 1408

Alexa wakes up in a dark room.

"Hello? Anybody here? Can anyone here me?"

She rises and looks around. A beam of blue light is seen from afar. She decides to approach it. The light expands and Bliss falls into a portal. The portal leads her to a field with broken hearts.

"Whats going on?"

She looks up and sees the blue light again. She follows it. The blue light enters a gloomy tunnel.

"There's no way, I'm going in there alone."

The light starts to dim.

"Ugh, fine."

Bliss runs into the tunnel then disappears.

Roman wakes up in a dark room.

"Umm... hello? Is anyone out there? Hello?"

He slowly gets up and searches for clues on where he could be. A blue tinted light circles him then leads him into a portal. Roman jumps through the hole and lands on his feet. He looks around. All he sees are things that he isn't able to have or touch.

What's going on?"

The light hovers over him then shows him the tunnel.

"I'm not going in there. I won't do it."

The light dims.

"Fine but this better be worth it."

The light shines again and illuminates the tunnel. A small, blonde girl is found laying on the ground covered in dirt.

"Are you.. excuse me, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm alright. Who are you? Where am I? Where are we?"

"I don't know. Roman. My name is Roman."

"I'm Alexa. Call me Bliss."

"Can I help you up?"

"Please do."

Roman helps her up.

"How'd you get here, Bliss?"

"Well, I think I stumbled in here. I was following--"

"A bluish light?"

"Yeah, yeah. Wait, how'd you know?"

He scoffs.

"I did the same thing."

"There it is."

Bliss points at the light and runs towards it. Roman chases her.

"Bliss! Bliss! It's not worth it. It'll just deceive us again."

"Not now, Roman, I'm-- Wait, what did you just say? You think the light will what? Deceive us? It didn't deceive us. We just weren't listening."

"We were misguided. It's not worth it anymore."

"Maybe not for you but I'm going to follow it."

"Bliss? Ughhh."

Bliss chases the light. Roman follows the blonde. The light brings the duo out of the tunnel and into a field. Bliss sees arrows being shot with out an archer. Roman dodges the arrows and brings Bliss to safety.

"Where are the arrows coming from?"

"I don't know, Bliss."

Roman sees a figure in the distance. He gets up and walks towards it. An arrow goes through his chest. He falls hard. Bliss runs to him.
