I am a darkness that is darker than the dark.

I do not have a consistent form. I am sentient smoke and ancient void energy, a whisper that lives in the corners of a room. I fled the Umbra Realm centuries ago to escape the Archon, and I found a sanctuary in a place that smells of old books and cedar.

I have lived in Jada Brooks’s apartment for years.

She does not know that I watch her from the shadows of her ceiling. She does not know that I glide over her caramel skin while she sleeps or that I have memorized the weight of her long braids. I am a voyeur in her life, a silent protector who has been tasting her breath since the day she moved in.

But Jada is different. She is a psychic.

She is the only human in this world who can truly see me. She feels my touch even when I am nothing but a draft in the hallway. She knows there is a monster in her home, and she is starting to realize that I have no intention of ever leaving.

D.R.E.A.D. wants to capture my darkness and use it as a cloak for their war. The Archon wants to drag me back to the Void for Correction. They do not understand that I will consume this entire world before I let them touch my light. Jada is mine, and I will pull the abyss into this reality to keep her in the dark with me.
