Are Lilith's fears come to be a reality in which the madness of the abyss comes to be too much and consumes the very essence of these three dark souls? But now what of all the new unknown forces that are now making their pressence known, as they are lurking within the shadows of time, and within the very madness that lies within Raven's fragmented sanity. Could these be the very same forces that seem to be laying forth the path on which Raven, Luna, and Lilith begin to embark on? Will this journey lead them to the origins of the lost child, and bring forth the light in which the whispering shadows must reveal their faces to the children of the night. Stepping out of the darkness in which they hide, and elighten all with their true intent?
