As another lightning bolt strikes down behind you,
and the earth rumbles beneath your feet, you
find you have stumbled across two huge metal
gates. Soaked and drenched you decide you have
nothing to lose. The gates open with a large
groan, before you lies a dark pathway
leading to a run down mansion apon a hill. You
walk up to the doors and knock on them. After no
answer, you push on the doors and find them
unlocked. You step inside into a large corridor.
The doors slam shut. As you twirl around
you see two greenish grey crystal
eyes glowing, then a face appears and soon a man
steps out of the shadows. He speaks in a voice full of power.

Welcome, you have entered the Realm of The Embraced!

We eat like humans,
Sleep like humans,
and,
for the most part,
feel like humans.

But we are not human.

We belong to an ancient race
Which evolved alongside yours,
Since the earliest existence of humans,
and,
We are around you!
