Hush now, little one, don't you dare peep, Eidolon's here, the Soulweaver so deep. In mirrors he dwells, a realm of despair, Trapped souls he ensnares, in darkness they snare. Eidolon, the Soulweaver of Reflections, his name, With sinister smile, souls tremble in shame. His eyes gleam with malice, his touch cold as ice, As he weaves his web, entangling their cries. Beware his presence, for he's not alone, A shadowing demon, his inner self, grown. Twisted and vile, a wicked entity, Together they're one, a malevolent unity. In mirrors they dance, their wicked embrace, Whispers of torment, in hushed, haunting grace. The souls shiver and quake, their essence forlorn, In the clutches of Eidolon, forever torn. His smile, like a dagger, fills souls with dread, As they gaze upon him, filled with silent dread. The mirror's reflection, a twisted facade, Revealing the depths of their suffering, so sad. In the dead of night, when the world slumbers deep, Eidolon creeps forth, his vigil to keep. The shadowing demon, a sinister guide, Leading him onward, where lost souls reside. Hush now, little one, don't let him near, For his touch brings torment, your deepest fear. Keep your gaze averted, avoid his snare, Lest he captures your soul in the mirrors' glare. But beware, dear child, the line grows thin, Between light and darkness, where nightmares begin. Eidolon's power, his malevolent art, Can turn even the purest soul black and tart. So hush now, my dear, and pray for reprieve, From Eidolon's clutches, his grasp, don't receive. For the souls trapped in mirrors, their fate is sealed, In a realm of shadows, forever concealed. ~~~~~~~ This is the story of Light, a man whose life was plagued with failure and disappointment.

"It takes one push to make someone stumble and gravity is what makes them fall." Dead Men Smiling was a name that was worth ending a relationship over. No one ever wanted to be associated with that name. Not that they did anything horrible. The Emperor hated them so everyone else hated them. Though it was for completely different reasons. Some hated them because they feared what would happen if they didn't and some hated them because they did what everyone else dreaded doing; they stood for what they believed in. Even if it meant they stood alone. They protested against the harsh treatment against the unwanted and even fought of the soldiers of Nero who dared to harm the unwanted. This earned four of the five members of the rebellion a six year probation but after being dubbed as innocent halfway through the punishment, they were allowed to roam free and rebuild what nearly crumbled. Only this time, they have secrets to uncover, truths to discover and Emperors to end.
