Prologue Part 2: A Vision

        Drifting. That's the only word I can describe how it felt. It was as if I were a small fish in the middle of the sea. Ages must have passed and ages would continue to pass. Everywhere I looked, there was emptiness. My only company were the countless grey sparks that floated through the void. I didn't feel bored though or hungry or thirsty. I simply felt nothing at all.
       "Is this what death feels like?" I pondered.

        A strange static to fill my head. It felt as if something was clawing inside my head.
        "ahhhshshuwewepppewt," it repeated.
        I couldn't understand what it was saying.
        "ashheewppppttttt," it continued, but this time a bit clearer.
        The intensity of the sound grew louder and in the distance something glowed dimly. I spread my arms and grasped at it, wondering if I would finally find my release from the void.

       As if the void could understand my thoughts, I started moving towards the light. The closer I got, the brighter it became. The static cleared until I could clearly hear the words, "Accept".

       "Who are you?" I shouted.
       "Accept."
       "What do you want from me?"
       "Accept."
       "Accept what?"
       "Accept."
        It repeated the same phrase over and over.
       "Accept."
        The sound got louder until it became unbearable and all I could hear was, "Accept."
       "Stop it!" I shouted helplessly. The buzzing started to become a loud screech as it tunneled deeper into my brain.
       "Accept."
        Eventually, the pain proved to be too much. I didn't have a choice in this matter.
       "Accept."
       "I accept"
