A Haunted House Party Art Created By Novus Grey

Your soul is plucked from The Dark Ocean of The Void.

Where once was no emotion or life, was soon transformed into the remarkable creature you are, as you rise out from the blood of a massive golden chalice, in a vast expanse of blackened woods.

You climb out naked and confused, the world spinning around you as the wind blows across your skin, drawing you fully into the world’s embrace.

Touching your skin, you feel a heartbeat, muscles tightening, and the rest of the body comes to life.

You stand up as the pumpkin moon glistens, as if it were a gleaming gemstone in the sky, welcoming you to the hallowed lands.

Observing your surroundings, you stand in an open area surrounded by tall, dark trees that accentuate the night sky and all its splendors.

The ground is covered in autumn leaves of gold red, brown, and various mixtures, all of which crunch under your feet as you walk around.

Across from where you came from, is a quaint pathway through the forest brush leading to a mysterious destination.

You wonder exactly why you’re here and what you even are, to begin with.

Your life from the very beginning is an all-encompassing hunger for knowledge to an ocean of questions.

But for now, you must decide where to move on from here.
