The vision began again.
Once more, I stood in the void of space, among shattered asteroids drifting like forgotten debris. A strange stillness hung in the air—a silence that vibrated with meaning. I recognised the moment. I had seen it before. But this time, everything was clearer.
A figure stood motionless on one of the larger asteroids. Tall. Wrapped in a long, tattered cloak that swayed despite the vacuum. The edges were frayed, torn by time. Not a single part of his body was visible—he was completely obscured beneath that cloak, his face hidden by the deep shadows of his hood.
Chains slithered across his body, moving like living things.
They wrapped tightly around his arms, chest, and throat. Some coiled around his legs like roots, others floated in the air beside him, dragging behind him like forgotten burdens.
