Fiery waves – the ups and downs of Summer Pride
Chapter 1: Prologue
Hmm... starless, desolate night... cold darkness that pierces through your bones... so grim, so depressing... so real... wouldn't you agree? Do you hear it? The strange noises that travel with the winds... If you clear your mind and listen carefully, you can hear the whispers of our ancestors through the time... After all, that is what we all are... just whispers in the dark... So, let's whisper together, you and I...
Do you believe in fate? Do you believe everything we do is already written and we couldn't have done things otherwise? Or you rather prefer to think you have free will and make your own destiny? Or, to rephrase the question, do you believe in coincidence? Me? Well, if you lived so long and seen the things I've seen, you don't believe in coincidence. No, my friend! Everything happens for a reason... like you and me sitting beside the cozy, warm fire on this frosty night...
So, here's one more hypothetical question for you: what's your idea for salvation? Do you think once you've regretted all the wrongs you've done before you leave this realm of shadows, you'll be transported back to a time when you were truly happy? I like to believe that, because there was such time... long ago, so long ago now... but we always come across our old hoofprints and fate always finds you no matter how far you run from it. However, when you see the end you want to know if your deeds had meaning. Well... I'll let you decide. But we have to turn back the hourglass of time, because what you're about to hear is overarching through countless centuries and lives.
Come closer and I will tell you the story of how you and I met muzzle to muzzle for the first time. My name is Summer Pride and this is my tale...
