Chapter 1: Climax
The first thing Regulus noticed when he opened his eyes was the absence of light. His eyelids felt heavy, like they were made of lead, and the darkness seemed to stretch on forever. For a moment, he wondered if he had gone blind. But then, something stirred within him - a distant memory, perhaps? - and he realized that he wasn't alone. Someone else was there, standing right beside him.
He couldn't see them, of course, but he could feel their presence.
