On the thirteenth day of the thirteenth month in thirteenth year, in the thirteenth century there came a person into being. Will of StarNight step forth to claim his place in the world. Spawned from the heart and soul of humanity and branded its’ judge, jury and executioner the prophecy his coming foretold. One seems humble when one comes face to face with oblivion itself and that is how I felt when I first laid eyes upon my master. Who am I you ask no one of significance but you will get to know me in time. The funny thing about my existence is that people confuse me with my master not because of my stature but for my deeds done in his name. On March 15, 2069 in the year of your lord the StarNight engulfed the heavens and the earth and the perpetual night began. I remember as though it was yesterday I awoke in a cold sweat as my eyes began to come into focus I looked upon him and trembled. This was not the first time I looked upon my master and felt utterly naked but this was different. He spoke one of the few times he did "Today is a great day in time for the judgment of humanity is upon us, we must not falter!" With that I just nodded it had begun after a millennium of watching and waiting. Quickly jumping to my feet I began to dress myself pulling over my jumpsuit and tugging on my boots. The cold within my boots quickly retreated as my feet began to warm them. Looking around the room I studied the scenery well if you can call jet-black walls and white borderline trim scenery. The rest of the decor was nothing but a cot in the exact center of the room just the way my master liked it. It sometimes unnerves me to know my very exist; my very soul itself is the hands of the bringer of chaos. Before I go on I must clarify something my relationship with my master is quiet peculiar. You see on the day of dawn he rescued me from a fate worst than death I don’t know what that fate was but the unknown can more frightening than the know. In pledging my unwavering allegiance to him he showed me the fate that all will suffer and my own as well. It is not every day you learn that you will be the cause and effect for the downfall of humanity but you must accept your destiny. In becoming one with my master his every whim, wish, command and desire are my reason for existence. You may not think that is possible because the human will is strong but the StarNight engulfs all, as you will come to see. Now getting back to that glorious day my master put before me seven tasks to perform and I graciously accepted them. Because you know of my relationship with my master and how I came into his service I shall reveal to you who or what I am. My name my mother gave me is Rachel of Everlyn born to a priest and priestess I knew of his coming and relishes it. Being a daughter of priests of the Believer’s Faith in God ministry I had a special insight into the prophecy of the StarNight. The prophecy that had been hand down from generation to generation is older than humanity itself, it also said that this will be the StarNight’s third coming. Many people confuse the legend, myth and the prophecy but to tell you the truth it is all right! The legend tells of the StarNight’s first coming descending from the heavens to invoke untold horrors upon the earth.
