As the solest fades in the Infernum, so does hope. Kiora slumps to the dirty floor. 'How can I call this place home?' Her thoughts scream. She lost the will to maintain her little house. The despairing Daemik watches as dust moves away from her breath.

"To step outside," she whispers. Kiora's dry throat distorts her voice. "And feel the rain would be nice. If only, that joy wasn't robbed by this hostile environment."
