Shall We Enter the Story?
Come closer.
Don't worry about the shadows.
They've already noticed you.
Take one step forward.
There.
You have entered Luna's world.
Look to your left.
That's her home.
The place where she grew up believing the world was ordinary. Where family photographs hide secrets, where old stories were never just stories, and where a silver key is waiting to change everything.
Look to your right.
That's the moonlit road Luna will walk when she finally leaves everything she knows behind.
Follow it.
Not yet.
For now, Luna is still in her world.
And you are here before her.
Don't look back.
You won't see the world you came from for much longer.
Now keep walking.
The familiar sounds of your world are fading behind you.
The voices.
The streets.
The lights.
Everything you know is becoming distant.
Ahead of you, the moonlit road stretches into the darkness.
This is the path.
The path between the world you came from...
and the world you are about to enter.
Keep walking.
The darkness gathers around the edges of the road.
The moonlight grows thinner.
The air turns colder.
And somewhere ahead, through the mist, something begins to take shape.
Silver gates.
Ancient trees.
Black flowers moving softly in the wind.
Umbra.
You are almost there.
Don't stop now.
Take one more step.
The moment you cross those gates, your world will disappear completely.
Welcome to Umbra.
Look to your left.
Those black flowers only bloom under a Blood Moon.
Don't touch them.
Look to your right.
Those trees have been standing here longer than your world remembers. Their branches move even when there is no wind.
And straight ahead...
Do you see that?
Beyond the mist.
Beyond the silver gates.
The palace.
That's where Kairav lives.
Don't be fooled by the silence.
Umbra is watching you.
The shadows know you are here.
And somewhere inside that palace, behind those ancient walls, sits the man everyone in this world fears.
Kairav.
He doesn't look like a monster.
That's the dangerous part.
Now, if you look carefully...
You might notice that his gaze has already found you.
And Luna?
She is still in her world.
For now.
She doesn't know what awaits her.
She doesn't know why the world feels strangely familiar.
She doesn't know that the ancient contract has already awakened.
She will come here soon.
But you...
you're already inside.
So stay close.
Because from this moment on, you aren't just reading Luna's story.
You're entering it.
Your world is behind you now.
Luna's world is somewhere beyond the path you just crossed.
And ahead of you lies Umbra.
There is no going back.
