Ivory finds herself standing in a cold, black void. Before her is... what appears to be a wall. Looking up, it takes more form. She only thought it was a wall due to the sheer size of it. It almost looks like a person, a soft white outline on its pitch black skin. It appears to be wearing some sort of gown or cloak, and is sitting with its legs crossed. Around its head is a halo of light, and on its face are two white eyes.

It's much larger than anything Ivory has ever seen. Much larger than anything she could ever comprehend. It speaks in a low, warm voice;

"Ivory LaFleur, formerly Alexandria LaFleur... I wasn't expecting you so soon."

Ivy looks at this... thing in confusion. "What... Where... am I?"

"You wouldn't like the answer to that question," it chuckles, leaning down some. "You knew Raine, didn't you? Or, at least acquainted."

She goes back a bit. "Uhh, name sounds familiar- Why?"

"Was just curious. He's mentioned you before, is all. He can't put down those books, it seems."

"Oh? Uh... what did he say? Kinda interested..."

"He informed me of your contributions to Catalyst and The Deterioration." It sits back up. "He also wanted me to give you this." A book appears in Ivory's hands. It's a black hardcover with a red trim. The title reads in red text: Deity In Death by Porcelain Meadows

She opens the book and flips through it. "What the fuck...?"

"You're going to carry that weight."

Ivory's head begins to heat up and shake, before exploding.
