Glimpse a not so contemporary world, a place where hearts once humane gather in guises of various facades, wrenching their own right for power, affection and desire, sympathy and apathy.
A heaven not ruled by the Lord, a heaven crafted from many a pale hand and drawn to life by the symphony of sanguine rivers.
Welcome to this world, where the bells of faith are drowned by the enshrouding inset of night; where they dwell and ponder upon their existences as lords of this civilization.
And where a wish may come true through a promise made.
Between man and the devil of his own heart.
