The first thing she notices is the lack of stars. The second thing is the floating islands of obsidian that form this world. The third thing is the cold wind that makes her cross her arms over her chest in an attempt to keep herself warm.

The last thing she notices, it's the eyes watching her that remind her of the simple shirt she's wearing. It doesn't take him long to show himself and turn her world upside down again when he gifts her his mark.

His black inky eyes stay with her when she wakes up with a gasp.

She meets him again and again, shrine after shrine, and she can't help but notice all the little things that tell her that he isn't like her. It's not just the black eyes, but how the tendrils of dark smoke that surround him seem to be part of him, how his voice seems to resonate through the Void that he inhabits.

His knowledge scares her, how much he seems to know about her empire, about her and her shortcomings.

But her eyes search in horror the scar on his throat when he tells her how he became who he is.
