"Aesthetics of the Pandemonium" synopsis and promo card for THE GRAFT OF SHADOWS (Adrian Glass 2019)

Aesthetics of the Pandemonium.

Nyxi Monica, sitting alone on a park bench, watching the sunset.  Looks down at her tattooed hands, more so her recent tattoo. The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, on her right index finger. Inspired by an old fable, when god was to choose the first Hebrew letter.  He summoned the most silent and humble one as the beginning.  She continues to try and ponder fate and time, refusing to allow predicaments of her past to hinder life in the present. 
But the weight of an inundated world continues to bear down. Living only for the next day, Nyxi's life is the city, removing its color to a monotone resonance. The discipline of remaining detached. A necessity for survival, but it comes with a fine tuned balance of being all and nothing. Unsure if she summoned a Wraith named Sitri or that he was manifested as comfort within her own thoughts. An Order of Tumult master, Wraiths, the ones who reside at the edge of oblivion.  Phantasms that travel through the slithers between the many Earths, feeding off the pain and bliss of humanity. Yet, she has fallen in love, as Nyxi's reality begins to fade.  And time which is both a blessing and curse.  The clock is set to end at singularity. Sitri, in favor of Nyxi's resilience, will present her with a gift. Finality that is within Aesthetics of the Pandemonium.
