Story: Welcome to Discordia : Prologue
Welcome to Discordia; a small, quiet little town on the edge of nowhere. People never last long in Discordia stopping only to take a break on their life's journey, before leaving - only memories to show that they were ever there at all. But yet, there are those that persevere. Those that continue to stay despite knowing that they shouldn't - that this town will not bring them the happiness, or perhaps salvation, that they desire in their hearts. They know this place is toxic, a poison that corrupts them to the very core. But still they stay.
Some bury themselves in learning, to avoid falling into a monotony of ignorance, unable to answer the questions of the world. Their lack of faith in themselves drives them forwards - attain ultimate knowledge, and attain perfection.
Others, surround themselves with luxury and lust during the day, and yet return to solitude once night falls. They crave emotion and feeling, instead of the emptiness inside that threatens their existence.
Every person has a different way of coping with the challenges life throws at them. Some take them in their stride, whilst others worry about the way it will affect them. Then there are the few who grow angry and blame themselves and others.
And there are those who use the monotony of life in Discordia as an escape from the realities that plague them, haunting their every nightmare, waking them up screaming night after night.
Welcome to Discordia. To those who call it home, it's a paradise.
