Even at the heart of his wildest dreams, Vincent Grey could never fathom his whole world disappearing into death's maw... Especially when his own boring life was the last thing on his clouded mind...
He was a nobody...
An outcast even amongst his own kind...
Yet despite his unfortunate existence, the young Pureblood tavern boy had learned to enjoy the simple peace that came with being born a 'red-eyed devil'... Even though he always had to hide his unwanted face...
... but just like the many other dwelling souls of The Known Realm's borders, the young dreamer within him still believed that his world would somehow find peace from the madness, and always told himself that someday it would all be over. So while he waited for better days, Vincent spent any chance he got daydreaming in his secret haven... Thinking of the day his best friend, Skye Lennox, would come back home from the war to see him again...
... Until a living nightmare wanted to steal his dream away from him.
