A long time ago, in a parallel world, there was a town called Atera.
It was a beautiful city, houses of ivory and marble streets of polished silver, gold studs, diamond ads. Certainly the city was beautiful, but its inhabitants were empty, hollow, their rations were malignant, sacrilegious and strangers. We could say that this city was evil.
One day an immigrant came to this land, a young man, whose name does not matter now, it was a happy younger, radiant with life, with a personality refreshing and light, with themes of optimism and deep conversation for the solution of the chains, that control and afflict the society. Came to this city to test their skills of persuasion and his mettle to resist temptation.
Came to town in the twilight of a Friday, and was amazed how beautiful and horrible was the city, the structure of the city was beautiful, perfect construction and exquisite materials, but at the same time, people walked the streets as people without a soul, all dressed in dark colors, walking slowly, fixing his gaze to the floor. The young try to talk to someone, try to talk to a lady, dressed in fine fabrics in dark colors, but when I look in her eyes, could not make a sound for communication, his mind was shocked to see those empty eyes lady, eyes that showed nothing, soulless eyes, eyes that can not say if they have suffered or have enjoyed, as they were hollow, like the soul of the lady.
After recovering from that strange vision, tired young man, decided to re-energize, and I get to a hotel, good looking, which was the announcement of "Vacancy." The manager, like the lady and all the people in that city, his eyes were empty, and although the young man was getting used to this, he preferred to see as little as possible to the manager directly in the eye. Once you pay the room, quietly climbed the stairs to his bedroom floor. He sat on the bed and stared at the ground, how can one look so, the young man asked himself, how one look can not transmit anything?, Neither hot nor cold, nor anger or happiness, or evil or well.
The next day, the young man got up very heavily, and even tired, he had stayed up late thinking about the answer to the questions that had done the night before, he clean himself, dressed up and ate rather quickly. Then under the stairs quickly, was more animated, greeting the manager, although this did not return the greeting. When he went to the streets, even more amazed by that city, that in the midday sun looked more beautiful than before, but its inhabitants were just as empty.
He approached the town square, and is mounted on the stage, where he began to proclaim, with a kind of sang his intentions. Nobody listened, but the youth kept on singing. After a while, he approached a man, who identified himself as mayor and waved him to come down from the dais. The young man did and was approached by the mayor and ask him why he called, he answered that he could not sing in the plaza, the young man replied by saying that made him for his college, the Mayor again said he could not sing in the plaza, because it was illegal under the "laws" of the city. The boy raised an eyebrow, and asked where he could do, the mayor replied that nowhere in the city, the young, surprised, return to hotel, and wonder himself why the mayor replied that it was wrong, according to the "morality" of the city .
The young man thought for a moment, back to the hotel, what kind of morality was handled in that town, he pass by the manager, without greeting, came to his room and sat beside the window and watch the street saw people walking in the same way all the time, thinking of what he had told the mayor. After a while of thinking, began to feel like an alien, as an invader of the city, at a time began to question their own ideas of right and wrong, but he hear a noise behind the door of the room, opened the door and I can see some young people away quickly down the hall.
The young man realized that the door struck a role in the door, a paper with a letter that helped him understand why he felt so strange in that city, although the letter was not pleasant, comforting him a little .
The paper read as follows: "Here sleeps the Dark and Strange Lord."
