āAcceptance. I finally reached it.
But something is wrong. Grief is a circular staircase. I have lost you.ā
ā Linda Pastan
You had left behind the very city that you once considered to be your home. It held no solace for you there, what with its continuous progression towards cyber-technology, producing mass conflict between varying groups of people.
Additionally, the disappearance of your grandmother was another factor that had pushed you to your departure. You depleted time, energy, and whatever resources that you could provide to find her in tow with the authorities. It wasnāt long before they had decided to relinquish the case, and fixate their attentions on the series of cases that flood their desks.
In the very end, even as you tried to justify and reason with your mind to stay, you fed into the impulse and made the decision to pack your belongings.
Now, after almost a decade of residing and finding comfortability within a quaint suburban town in the countryside, you begin to have dreams ā beckoning you to return to the city. It is a message that you, albeit that you hesitated, give in to, and you now stand at the edge of a dense forest.
What you didnāt know was that the very contents of that forest, as well as the events that transpire afterwards, will lead you to a whole other world.

He is a mystery even to the people of Desikpara, but would it be worth solving?

He refuses to divulge any personal information about himself and keeps everyone if not most at arm's length if they aren't afraid to approach him.

He has an average, athletic build and is donned in a series of tattoos that spread throughout his form, predominantly on his left arm.

They introduce themself as a practitioner of the Occult, as well as a doctor that resides in the city of Grimspire.
He does not keep you for any longer but, before departing, he lingers on you for just a moment that it feels almost intentional. You do not read too much into it, so you continue onward.
The next time that you both happen to meet, they have a revolver pointed at your temple.

LILITH ā THE SHEPARD. { F }
Lilith is a strikingly familiar face amongst the unidled stress and confusion from within Desikpara.

She, on the other hand, does not recognize who you are. Lacking the trust and affinity that you once had shared before.
Nevertheless, there also seems to be something else that has changed about her. She is a lot more.. different, now.

The both of you continuously meet at the most oddest of times ā however, it is to the point it doesn't feel like a simple coincidence. You canāt help but be curious of her. Would it hurt to peer further into who she is?
??? is described as an enigmatic woman. Every word that escapes her lips sounds almost like a mischievous secret, one that you cannot tell if you should believe its contents or not.
