A special thanks to everyone for opening this story. I would have never gotten this far without my closest friends Chris, George, Ronen, Borum, and last but not least Andre. My parents Dan and Shawntee, my grandmother Ester, and of course, thank you.

You all made me who I am today, and my stories contribute to how much you all mean to me. The experiences I had through school, seeing the world in the Navy, and beyond all lead to the creation of the world in these pages. This book is all of me.

This story is the first of a series, rewritten for over a decade since the end of 5th Grade to now. It all started from a dream I had, a bright light and emerald green eyes staring into me. This inspired the first half of the dream Leon has in the prologue. The girl of my dreams formed to become the angel, the first character I ever created. It is from that dream that I had my first idea of a story and have been writing it ever since.

My story is finally complete. Welcome to the Unknown.
