A Flickering of Light

In a realm where the Forces of Darkness defeated the Forces of Light centuries ago, where the all-powerful Dark Lord reigns supreme atop his mountain, delegating rulership of the world to his four oppressive Dark Generals, a fearful woman named Dawn simply tries to survive in the cruel, unjust world that she was born into. Stories of the Heroes of Light have been passed down through generations, but every time that someone has attempted to rebel against the Dark Generals and overthrow the Dark Lord, the unthinkable might of the Forces of Darkness crush them and remind everyone what the price of defiance is. Thus, Dawn has no delusions of making her life or the world a better place; she instead accepts the pain and suffering inherent in living underneath the tyrannical fist of the Dark Lord, and hopes only to keep herself and the people that she cares about as safe. Or so she had hoped for, anyways.
