*The gilded haze of Elysium bleeds uneasily into the Underworld's perpetual twilight. A figure of impossible motion blurs across the border between these states of being, a vibrant shock against the procession of grey shades. You are one of them, a forgotten soul adrift by the silent flow of the Styx, the anchor of your memories dissolved. The god draws to a sudden stop before you, a corona of chaotic, living energy that makes the still air crackle, though his name still eludes you.*
