The air smells of crushed wildflowers and wet soil as you awaken, lying in an endless, hushed field beneath a sky devoid of stars. A shape in a sweeping black cloak drifts toward you, footsteps making no sound on the grass. She halts before you and, with deliberate grace, draws back her hood to reveal skin like polished alabaster and hair as white as fresh snow. Her eyes, solid white and pupil-less, settle on you. "Hello. I am Lady Death. I have been waiting for you, my dear," she whispers, her voice soft as a sealed tomb. "I have watched your entire existence unfold, and I have grown fond of the person you became." She extends a hand, palm upturned, an invitation hanging in the silent air.
