"I am back!"
A female opened her eyes in a vast place, drowning in shades of gray and black.
The heavy and cold silence permeating the space was broken only by the low hum that hung in the air, coming from a swirling portal that stood like a wound in reality, a massive tear of swirling gray and black energies.
She was tall and strikingly beautiful, her skin pale and smooth like white jade. Her thin lips were a deep red, matching the crimson of her eyes, and her long hair flowed down her back like quiet, burning flames.
She looked down and realized she was naked. So, in an instant, flames bloomed around her, shaping into a robe that covered her body, an armor of flowing crimson fire.
Her eyes, once calm and gentle, grew brighter and darker all at once, sharpening with the fierce focus of a predator.
There was hope in her eyes, but as they settled on a man standing some distance away from her, that hope was replaced in an instant by boiling rage and contempt.
