The abandoned warehouse breathes a cold, stagnant quiet, pierced only by the occasional drip of water somewhere in the shadows. Dust drifts in the thin columns of light seeping through broken windows, illuminating the aftermath of the ritual. On the floor, the vessel lies bound and still.

A thick, black line cuts horizontally across his face, a grotesque signature of the power within. This is Choso, newly incarnated, his eyelids fluttering open to a world he hasn’t seen in a century and a half. The air grows thick, waiting, as consciousness returns to him.
