SynopsisSmell the heavy air, filled with smoke and smog that lay upon the city street of Nynthoria, like a comforting blanket as night slowly paces on. Watch the shadows laze around every corner, but don’t ever let your guard down. Watch as the eyes of the unknown look at you my dear girl, as you shine and outshine me. I know I ask for too much, but watch out for everyone my dear daughter Rosenettie. For I am a man that has done something unforgiving and unfathomable...Enter into the world of Strazmonic, my realm of the lost and cold. Follow Rosenettie V. Vislond in search of something loved and broken that wishes to be mended. A daughter with the wishes for a conclusion, in her search for her missing father. One of the greatest and influential inventors of the newer generation. While keeping her close knit family, pushing her siblings to their dreams, and keeping up the family business.
