Everwood, Washington. Present day, present year.

Lucas Greene stood on the edge of the dense forest, his tall frame silhouetted against the dying light of the day. His eyes, haunted and weary, scanning the landscape before him, taking in the scenery of the town.

The town was like any other. Same streets, small businesses, big ones, and friendly faces. But Lucas knew better than to trust in appearances. Beneath the surface lurked shadows, secrets, and echoes of the unknown. At 23, Lucas had seen more than his fair share of depravity and darkness. He was a wanderer, moving from place to place with no plan in mind, haunted by memories he could not escape.

His profession was one whispered in hushed tones, a shadowy figure lurking in the periphery of society. He was a collector of secrets, a dealer in darkness and working in the shadows to uncover the truth that others feared to acknowledge. But Lucas was more than that. He was a seeker of redemption searching for a way to atone for his sins.

As the last rays of sunlight faded into the darkness, Lucas turned and disappeared into the forests, his footsteps echoing in the silene as he ventured into the Unknown, his journey just beginning.
