It's cold.





You make a few attempts to open your eyes. Slowly, carefully.


Your vision is blurred, sensitive to even the dim candlelight.


Your body feels limp, exhausted. Senses still dulled, as if you'd woken from the deepest of dreams.


You'd been lying on the ground for quite some time, but can't remember why. Your arms are weak as you try to push yourself up into a sitting position.



Pain wracks your skull and you wince, holding a palm to cradle your forehead.


Just how long had you been asleep...?



. . .

Only in that single touch do you realize how cold you really are.

Your palm is completely devoid of warmth. It's as cold as the marbled floor beneath you.

No, not just your hand...





Every inch of your body has gone stone cold.




But you're awake.


You're breathing. Your heart is beating.


You can see, you can think. So...


You're alive.





. . .



Or are you?





Just as that morbid thought crosses your mind, your eyes dart to a piece of paper lying in front of you.

Compelled, you reach out for it. The page crinkles under your touch.


Great, your hand didn't sink through it or anything. At least that rules out being a ghost, right?




The relief is fleeting. As if through magic, words begin to form themselves on the page.


The words are brief, but don't make any more sense to you than your current predicament does. You quietly mouth them to yourself as you read along...

The Rules


Victors achieve a second chance at life. There are two ways to win:
  1. Two players remain, each partnered with one angel and one demon respectively.
  2. All remaining players are of the same allegiance, whether angel or demon. The opposing side must be fully eradicated.



Victors may propose new rules for the subsequent game.
