Since yesterday was my anniversary, and no one asked questions :(,  I've decided to release a teaser of episode 1, titled "Sketch of Sin". This a full scene, as any portion of it what just seem opaque in meaning and I want readers to realy digest the atmosphere and tone of the show.

THEN

''Chandler sits on a log, starring into the crackling flames vigorously lashing the ends of its fiery tip. It's been nearly week since he was at Zenith. Snax had instructued him to find food, to get supplies. Being the idiot he was, Chandler realized how he foolished entered woods that stretched miles long, acres wide, with no end. He easily had gotten lost. And he was alone. Alone. His sanity began to dwindle as did his faith and hope. First, his physical will to go on broke. Now his mental was close to shattering as well. Behind him is a pile of bodies, both humanoid and beastoid. He killed whatever he saw, no hesitation.''

[Chandler]: My fault...my fault...

''His campsite consisted of a fire, the deadbody pile and his body. Leaves created a natural bed for him as the stars glazed over head, shining brightly.''

''[Chandler]: How could I be so stupid? I failed my myself...I failed my people.''

''Chandler's mumbling and ranting continues on, as he speaks to no one other than himself. When he finally shuts up, Chandler finally hears it. Running water. Chander frantically stands up and listens. In the distance, a creature howls gracefully. The running water dimmed down for a moment as it grew stagnant before starting up, the noise stronger than before. Chandler begins dashing toward it, his lips parched as the humid, moist air had drained him.''

[Chandler]: W-water.

''Chandler spots a cabin with a brick foundation but cobblestone walls with a brick roof. It was grey in color with the roof being a tan, mocha blend. He grasps the semi-automatic assault rifle that wwas slinging off a strap which was over his chest. Then, a voice, not too distant, spoke.''

[Voice]: Put down your weapon.

Chandler turns around, now aiming the weapon.

''[Voice]: I'm gonna ask you again. Put down your weapon. I have food, water. Let me help you.''

[Chandler]: I'll kill you!

Chandler checks the knob on a door on the cabin and it is locked.

''[Voice]: Last chance, put down your weapon. ''

''[Chandler]: Be a man! Show yourself!''

Chandler turns around to see a large man with a staff whack his face.

''His eyes flicker open, blurry vision. Pain smothers Chandler's head and ribs. His back was leaned up against a wall. He attempts to move but is unable to. When his vision finally clears, Chandler discovers he is bounded and looks up, seeing the man sitting on a couch.''

''[Man]: I am Colbat. What's your name?''

''[Chandler]: What are you? A sick, pathetic excuse of a man. WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL ME? Piece of shit! What? You gonna torture me? Tantalize me? ''

Colbat remains calm, sipping his beverage as his eyebrows raise.

''[Colbat]: It's simple. I'm not a killer.''

''[Chandler]: You think that...that you're a good  man? Good men die. And as soon as I escape this bondage, I'm gonna kill you.''

''[Colbat]: No, you won't. You think you will, but all men have morals. We don't kill just because we want to. It's not our nature to.''

This just angers Chandler even more, as he grits his teeth in rage.

''[Chandler]: You're naïve piece of shit. You won't survive this world. You will die.''

''[Colbat]: Those who seem weak are the lucky ones. The weak will inherit this world. All I'm asking is that you give me a chance. I can save you from this dark path. I can let you redeem yourself from your sins. Everyone has their lifes planned out by a greater force. Your everything is sketched out, fears, loves, sins, tragedies, and victories.''

The words seem to finally echo through Chandler's mind as he makes a realization.

''[Chandler]: How? How do you redeem me? ''

''[Colbat]: You think you're a broken man. You're not. You are just a wounded animal, hiding in its shell.''

[Chandler]: That's not true....

[Colbat]: You are fractured but I can build you back up.

[Chandler]: Shut up...

[Colbat]: Let me help you.

[Chandler]: SHUT UP!

''Chandler frantically squirms around, filled with a burning passion to kill this man. After giving up, Chandler seethes at the man.''

[Chandler]: As soon as you think you're safe, in your bed, dreaming your little zen dreams of a utopia that's never going to happen, I'm going to take your life.

[Colbat]: I don't like threats.

[Chandler]: That's a promise.
