== History ==
=== 2012 ===
Anne was woken up by the sound of kracatoan heavy artillery, as at the time she was residing in New York, however, to her demise, she woke up to an overwhelming smell of smoke, only to later realize that the whole city is on fire, however to her incredible luck, she was able to run into a safe distance before she could burn to death, however, when she looked back at New York, she saw several missiles being dropped on the city, which would then result in the complete demolition of the few remaining intact parts of the city. After that, she ran further into a nearby forest, where once she felt exhausted, she sat down on an exposed root of a tree, which soon have evolved into a panic attack, as a result of her feeling very uncertain regarding what is going to come next, as she assumed that her father, Vilkovar DLXVII died and unfortunately for her, she ended up being correct, but not regarding the way her father day, as he died as a result of the kracatoans carrying him into captivity, eventually shooting him, and burying him in one of the mass graves the kracatoans had. Soon after, she suffered yet another panic attack a few moments later, now being extremely scared of her environment, alongside with the fact that she does not know what is she supposed to do now, telling herself that she was never told what to do in such a situation as she have found herself in now, however, an extremely demonic voice told her to silence herself, as it is trying to sleep, and to that, Anne asked regarding the identity of the voice that was speaking to her, however, the voice not answered. After that weird encounter, she travelled to the ghost town of Trenton, where she tried to scavenge for supplies, around the same time that the voice that was speaking to her earlier gave her a very high amounts of knowledge to her that will certainly help her survive more, alongside with that the voice also granted her exceptional physical strength, advanced durability and better than the human average speed, which would be enough to defeat any patrolling kracatoan soldiers that she may encounter on her journey. After realizing the existence of her newfound abilities, she continued to scavenge for supplies, however even that was interrupted by a huge kracatoan patrol alongside with the sound of several kracatoan spaceships, and due to out of fear and a general aversion to confrontation, she hid from the patrol, hoping that she would not be noticed. A few minutes later, everything was silent, aside from the fact that she kept hearing a heavy breathing noise that at the same time was also metallic, only to reveal that a pygmy and juvenile anaconda was also hiding with her, which made her scream, alerting a few kracatoan soldiers that had struggling to keep up with the patrol as they were extremely tired at the time. The anaconda told her to do nothing but watch, and after that, when the kracatoan soldiers entered the house she was hiding in, she began breathing heavily, and as soon as she heard gunshots, she was unable to watch what was to come, which have involved the anaconda growing to a monstrous size and swallowing the kracatoan soldiers whole, and then be reduced to it's original size. After that, the anaconda told her that in truth, the serpent entity she sees is nothing but an astral projection of the Golden Serpent, with it stating that the two of them are bound by blood, and the last of it's blood, as everyone else have been killed a long time ago.
=== 2013 ===
Anne made her way to Bloomsburg, however, her plans of furthermore scavenging was disrupted by 400 thousand kracatoan soldiers marching on the streets. The sight was bewitching on her behalf, as it was her first time where she saw an excessive amount of soldiers in a small town, and as such, she followed the soldiers to find out where they were heading. There were multiple occasions where she was almost spotted, but luckily for herself, she was able to remain unnoticed. However, when she saw that the soldiers stopped, she immediately rushed inside a building, to remain outside line of sight, and then proceeded to run upstairs, then to the roof, where she saw in the distance a huge concrete slab. To get a better look on the scene, she moved from roof to roof, up until she got dangerously close, however by the time she would have been noticed, a spaceship that is roughly thrice as large as a skyscraper she saw in New York, have landed, and as soon as it did, the kracatoan soldiers began entering the spaceship. Curiosity not letting her rest, alongside the Golden Serpent telling her to enter the spaceship, she was successful at entering the spaceship while remaining unnoticed, however, she overheard chatter from the soldiers that they have seen multiple shadowy figures standing on several rooftops in the town. She was also able to overhear that the spaceship is to dock at what was named The Mothership. However, when she heard that the journey to the current location of The Mothership would take potentially weeks to reach, she began slightly panicking and heavily breathing, which to her demise, was heard by one of the kracatoan soldiers that were forced to do janitorial labor, and as such the soldier went to investigate, but was strangled to death, which sounded the alarms, alongside with an extremely odorous and smelly pheromone coming out from the dead body. Anne, as a result of desperation and severe panic, she tore a hole beneath the floor she was standing on and after that, she sealed off the hole by placing the piece she tore out back in, only to find out that she was trapped in the sewer system of the spaceship. However, more panic have set in for her, as she heard the sound of many thousands of soldiers dying, and when the alarms went silent and no more chatter from the kracatoan soldiers were heard, she exited the sewer system, only to find out that all of the kracatoan soldiers on the spaceships have died for reasons she was unable to find out. Luckily enough, the spaceship had an autopilot, meaning it was still heading for it's intended destination, however due to lack of manual piloting, it wouldn't able to arrive to The Mothership until next year. In the meantime, Anne cleaned out the spaceship and inspected every room in it, alongside with arming herself from head to toe, completely oblivious to the fact that she has no expertise regarding the usage of ballistic weaponry of kracatoan origin.
=== 2014 ===
Anne suddenly woke up, and have noticed that all sounds have stopped, aside from the sound of heavy machinery coming outside from the spaceship she was on, only to realize later on, after looking out on several windows, that she is on The Mothership, unknown to her, 7632 light years away from Earth. She also was able to notice that she was unable to leave the spaceship that is if she wants to be caught, and possibly executed, as there were several kracatoan soldiers standing not far from the spaceship, awaiting for the 400 thousand to exit from it. After a few moments, the kracatoans realized something was wrong, they decided to investigate the insides of the spaceship, only to conclude that a massive plague broke out on the spaceship, judging from the slight odor they have found very familiar. However, Anne was caught, but haven't been shot on sight, however was brought inside a very sealed off and secure room to be interrogated by a kracatoan general, who had the name Skalbogal Tostart, who also asked Anne regarding the planet she was captured from and the circumstances of her capture. She responded with that the planet she was captured from was called Earth and the local dominant civilization it was wiped out by the kracatoans way before she was born and it has been having a slow recovery ever since. To the question the circumstances of her capture, she responded to that she was scavenging for supplies in a small town, where she was captured by several thousands or more soldiers. After that, Skalbogal Tostart stood up from his chair, and went outside the room, only to yell a more senior general, stating that it was a bad idea to send soldiers from the southern swampy and volcanic provinces to answer a call for help, as soldiers from those provinces, alongside with generals are known to be uncooperative with higher authorities alongside with them being known to be insubordinate, inattentive and impulsive. He then proceeded to head back inside the room, sit down on the chair, and began explaining to Anne that it is unfortunate regarding what happened to her planet, however there is very little they can do at the time, as their empire is struggling with political instability, and it's military suffering severe internal conflicts, also stating that what's on Earth is a good majority of their fighting force and since she has seemingly have done no harm to anyone or anything kracatoan, she is being put into what the kracatoans name a stasis capsule and within that capsule she will remain in a state similar to paralysis, up until the capsule breaks open. As seeing as she has no other choice, she gets inside the stasis capsule, and soon after, she gets launched into outer space with speed so fast that light has difficulty catching up with her, and after about 7 hours later, she landed on Earth, landing next to a cave which was not far from an elementary school. She decided to go inside the cave, only to see that it was full of skeletal remains of children, and out of shock and sheer blundering, she ran inside further into the cave, but was forced to stop, as there was nowhere left to run, only for her to hear that the entrance collapsed. However, she found himself in what used to be a shelter for an advanced civilization.
=== 2015 ===
As Anne was exploring the cave more, the Golden Serpent told her that this cave was used as refuge by children who were escaping the kracatoan invasion back in 1985, only to later die by radiation and before that, this cave served as an entrance to Agartha, and the shelter she made herself home at was an outpost built by the agarthans to keep unwanted beings out of Agartha. It also further said that the only way out of this cave was to punch her way out at the entrance. Seeing as that there was no other choice, or at least one that she could think of, Anne began punching the boulders that were blocking her way escape, and after about 25 minutes of punching alongside with pieces of the boulders cutting small bits of her skin, she was able to get out of the cave, and decided to enter the panel house neighbouring the elementary school, and decided for herself that she will destroy The Mothership, completely ignoring what she has been told last year, completely relying on her faulty memory and feelings to make her decisions. However, despite that she was fully equipped to deal with kracatoans, she chose not to, both due to the fact that he tends to avoid direct conflicts alongside with her still not being familiar with kracatoan firearms. As just as she was leaving the panel house, the Golden Serpent told her that she needs to go to Fort Everest, which was on the highest peak of Earth, but getting there would be dangerous, even more so considering since the kracatoan invasion, the local cryptid population skyrocketed, and to her misfortune, those are cryptids that are not afraid to hurt her by any means possible. When she asked why would she ever go there, she got the response that it will help her become more skilled and she will find something there that would fundamentally turn her life around, unknown if for the better for the worse, as the Golden Serpent said that it depends on the perspective. Anne, possibly out of curiosity, she decided to go to the Fort Everest, although not being sure how exactly would she cross an entire ocean, let alone getting to an ocean, and as such, despite being near the vicinity of the East Coast in what used to be the United States, she decided to head in a western direction. However, after months of walking with small breaks, she came to a full stop at Neah Bay, on the West Coast, which to her misfortune was being used as a kracatoan military outpost, however since she was too tired to deal with that fact, she decided to sit down against a wall, and have a full rest, wanting to fall asleep, but knowing she can't, however she did it anyways, but was waken up by two kracatoan soldiers chatting next to her, with them believing that she is dead and deciding to what to do with her, only to come up to the conclusion that if it's bothering someone that there is a dead body at their place, that someone would be the one cleaning it up, however neither of them wanted to clean it up, and after that they went away from her, and given how dangerous the place she was resting at, she sluggishly walked to the forest that was nearby, finally being able to find a place where she could fall asleep without much disturbance.
=== 2016 ===
After gathering enough resources, Anne set out a route for herself, based on the limited knowledge she had on the Pacific Ocean, to reach the eastern coast of Asia, by making several stops on the ways on islands she comes across, entirely hoping on her ability to remember which is the northern direction, but then deciding that thinking that she would be able to remember that is stupid, he looked for a compass, which was interrupted by the astral projection of the Golden Serpent, who stated that overreliance on tools is a very sure way to be eliminated, and as such, it gave her an innate knowledge to always know where is the cardinal direction of north, and as that, she no longer looked after a compass, but then assembled a boat, mostly made out of wood and have set sail westwards. For the most part, the journey was very uneventful, except for those moments where she experienced smaller panic attacks when she saw that the water was unnaturally clear and she could see hundreds of meters underwater, also seeing humanoids hunting for larger fish, occasionally also hunting each other, however her scariest experience was when she saw a squid of comically large size, which was appearing to be stalking her not far from the surface of the water, but not being close enough to disturb the movement of the boat, but precisely after 21 minutes, the squid left, as it was attacked by the underwater humanoid creatures. After days of sailing, she landed on a mildly irradiated island in the northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean, which coincidentally was also covered in excessive amounts of bodies of kracatoan soldiers, presumably the reason behind the mild radiation on the island. She tried to explore, however the bodies were too much in the way, and as such she left as soon as she arrived, continuing westwards with a new boat she found, strangely enough in working condition and presumably of kracatoan origin. However, after traveling 2 kilometers, a bigger kracatoan boat approached her, and the soldiers onboard questioned her regarding how did she obtain the boat she is using at the moment, and as an answer she received that she found it on an island in working condition, and seeing as that the kracatoan soldiers in the region are easily able to replace losses as small as that, they changed course and have let Anne be on her way. 5 months later, she suffered a shipwreck in the shores of what once was named as China, now being a land completely covered in bamboo forests as a result of kracatoan environmental experimentation, which have resulted in a rapid shift in the local weather patterns and deep rooted structural changes in the local ecosystem. For an extremely lengthy amount of time, she was stuck in the bamboo forests, with not being, additionally having to avoid the new environmental threats that are new to the region, as such as a kracatoan-made hybrid of pandas and bulls, named pandabulls and humanoid oak trees, which attack any humans on sight, as they were trained to do so. Anne, thanks to her new tendency to either willingly or unwillingly expose herself to situations which may induce a panic attack in her, she effectively desensitized herself, making her less likely to suffer from a panic attack for the incoming years.
=== 2017 ===
Anne, after burning down approximately 32 hectares and suffering two panic attacks, she finally was able to reach the incredibly dry desert that Tibet was turned into as a whole, however, she was unable to get anywhere remotely close to the tallest peak of it, out of the reason that natives of the region strongly insisted for her to stay near the lower altitude regions, as what they described as the "terror snowman" population rapidly exploded ever since the kracatoans reigned victorious over mankind in 1985. She at first obeyed the words of the tibetans, but later on she became less and less patient, which have led to approach the location of Fort Everest, which sat on top of the highest peak on the entirety of Earth, a location known almost to no one, given how difficult it is to reach it. However, the closer she got to Fort Everest, the more of the terror snowmen she was encountered and for most of the time they were avoiding her but there were a few violent encounters. To avoid more of the violent encounters, she covered herself entirely in snow, to make herself less visible. After an extremely long amount of journey and avoiding terror snowmen, now her fully knowing that in truth they are cryptids, more specifically of an older species of humans specialized in becoming self-reliant and solitary, however in exchange dropping many of the communication skills, she reached Fort Everest, while her also able to remembering that this specific species of humans were genetically the closest to giants, another species of humans, which have evolved to be solitary, however also being physically enormous and robust. However, when she arrived, disappointment followed soon after, as much of the exterior of the building was covered in snow. However, after finding a way inside, she was experiencing a brief period of tranquil silence, which was only occasionally disturbed by a series of short but terrific blizzards, which have led to more snow blocking the entrance, but after approximately 3 minutes, she was attacked by Nick and then apprehended by Frost, with the entirety being overlooked by Frost 2.0. She was asked behind the reason of her decision to visit this very secluded place, but she refused to answer up until it was told to her that her life depended on that if she answers or not, and as such, she answered with that she did not really had a clearly defined place to go, only a goal in mind that she has very vague ideas regarding how to finish, however the Golden Serpent told her to go to Fort Everest with the reason that her life will fundamentally change, alongside with the fact that she would end up getting more skilled, and as soon as Nick have heard that, he ordered both Frost and Frost 2.0 to leave the room for the time being. He also started silently muttering the name of the Golden Serpent over and over, while preparing to open up a portal to a destination that is not known to Anne. However, when the portal was opened, she was pushed into the portal by Nick, with her ending up in the Void, however she was not aware of it and have simply thought of the planet she was on a place that was once again very distant from Earth, but the moment she arrived, she immediately was able to feel change that she not yet was able to explain.
=== 2018 ===
Anne, after carefully crawling out of a cave, she found himself to be almost suffocating, due to the atmosphere of the planet that she was on, which had an atmosphere that had a very low oxygen level, although not lethally low by human standards. She looked around, only for her to see extremely dense and invasive flora, as if a genetic arms race would be in progress. To her early demise, she tripped over a vine, and ended up being consumed whole by a carnivorous plant, where she was able to quickly escape from, by lighting a match on fire, ending up with the plant forcefully opening up. She began looking around more and more, but no matter how far she tried to see, she only saw endless jungles and forests, with rivers occasionally cutting through them, and as more of her anxiety grew due to her doubtfulness over ability to survive, the astral projection of the Golden Serpent appeared in front of her and have told her that she would have to survive for approximately 48 hours without succumbing to either thirst or starvation, also telling her sarcastically that dying of boredom is out of question also. She had no choice but to accept her faith and to have an attempt at survival through trial and error, as she began trying to eat whatever he could land her hands on, but have discovered that most plants are indigestible, however the water was fortunately for her, drinkable, however slightly basic and contains traces of superheavy elements, alongside with minerals. After 48 hours, he saw several spaceships appear across the atmosphere and began bombarding it heavily, as an attempt to wipe out the intense vegetation, essentially setting the entire planet on fire. However, many spaceships began crashing down, due to several assumed misfire and friendly fire accidents, peaking her curiosity, with her thinking that at least one of the wreckages would be able to cover her from the ever growing fires. She ran as fast as she could, however it was very often she had to stop, sometimes even being at the edge of completely fainting, but after about 9 minutes and 21 seconds of running, she was able to find the wreckage of one of the spaceships and took refuge there, waiting for the fires to go away, which have ended up in falling her asleep. It is unknown how long she slept for, but when she woke up, she woke up to an unending sense of cold and pitch darkness, not realizing that the bombardment campaign of the spaceships have ended up burning away the entirety of the atmosphere. She also realized that she was unable to breathe, but at the same time she was unable to die. At this point, the Golden Serpent made several attempts to appear in front of her, but it failed to do so, instead, a humanoid woman had, who went by the nickname The Silent Riddler, and suddenly, she found herself in a room very much inspired by ancient egyptian architecture, where The Silent Riddler continued to explain her that the world often does not seem like for what it is, and under no circumstances a person should trust either in it's eyes or ears and even what a person knows is fragile at very best. Then, Anne spoke up and asked about why is she being trusted with esoteric information, however, she haven't received an answer, as the The Silent Riddler then disappeared, however, have left a strange bracelet made out of gold on a chair made out of limestone.
=== 2019 ===
Anne, long after taking the bracelet and navigating throughout the maze-like ruins she have discovered herself in, before she was able to exit, she came across a very strange metallic door that were unable to be opened by any means, however after trying for another 14 times, she finally found a way by pressing the bracelet against it, making it open. However when she exited, she found himself in a steppe-like environment, presumably still in the Void, but potentially on another planet. Not too long after, she saw a horde of humanoid entities running towards her in a reckless and senseless manner, and as she this time was unable to hide anywhere or outrun them, in the midst of her small-scale panicking, she accidentally activated the bracelet, making it release an excessive amount of highly adaptive and experimental adrenaline at the general direction of where she was pointing the bracelet, but making it target only living beings. As the humanoid entities were overloaded with adrenaline, they exploded shortly after as a result. Then, she began wandering around, in search for anything that would help her realize where she actually is, but as more of the humanoid entities she encountered and then eventually was forced to kill, she stopped caring about it. But after about three days, she spot a pyramid in the distance, just around the same time that the sky turned completely dark, however the landscape still looked like as if there would be a star lighting it up from a distance. She began making her way towards the pyramid, which then she entered. There, she would witness a room full of deactivated traps, signaling that someone explored the pyramid already. She went deeper into the pyramid approximately for 13 minutes, exploring 12 rooms and 4 corridors, before she came across a door that have not been opened yet, which she was able to open by her guessing correctly that she needs to use the bracelet to open it. Once she did, she saw a big row of extremely decorated sarcophaguses, and was mesmerized by them to the point where she activated a pressure plate, which made mummies get out of the sarcophaguses and slowly make their way towards her, also locking the door behind her. She tried to use the bracelet against the mummies, but as they were not alive, it didn't work. Then, she tried to fight them unarmed, which she got severely defeated at, getting completely overpowered by the mummies and sustaining lots of painful bruises. As a last resort, she used her matches to try to set the mummies on fire which she was successful at, at an unusually quick and early rate, due to the mummies being extremely flammable, resulting in them turning into piles of ashes. Then, she slowly made her way past the sarcophaguses, walking into a small room, which then she identified as an elevator. After waiting for a while, she have found herself in a very dark room, where the only thing that was illuminated by light was a big sandstone throne, where The Silent Riddler was also sitting at, commenting that her misfortune and clumsiness is very amusing. She responded with that she still has a powerful bracelet to use, to which The Silent Riddler responded with that she is aware and she was the one who have brought it here in the first place, alongside with the whole planet, a revelation which Anne found slightly unexpected.
=== 2020 ===
Anne have found an oasis in the middle of nowhere, which she found to be a great place to relax, however she was forced to stop by a small group of humanoid entities, which she was successful at stopping, but then, during her attempts at relaxation, she began seeing a tall and slender shadowy figure, wearing a long trench coat and a fedora, also having white fluorescent eyes. Then, after 20 minutes, the shadowy figure approached her and spoke to her, saying that her help is needed in another time. She refused, to which then the shadowy figure revealed itself as The Gatherman, something that was still not convincing enough for Anne, due to her obliviousness. Then, The Gatherman, without saying a single word, grabbed her wrist and teleported her away into another timeline. She have found himself on Earth again, more specifically, in Stockholm, Sweden, however, when she expected herself to feel relief, instead she felt nothing, making her confused and disappointed in herself. Then she looked around, and have realized that she is in a timeline where the kracatoan invasion began this year. Hours later, she came across a bar, which she entered, and asked the bartender about the current news, to which she got the response that she should not be here, as she died in 2013. And as soon as the bartender told her that, The Gatherman appeared out of nowhere and pushed her back to the timeline she was dragged out of in the first place and fortunately for her, she was not too far away from the oasis, but in the time she was gone, the oasis became a military outpost for a warlord originating from Bosetukhagai. She then began contemplating if she is able to overwhelm an entire military outpost all by herself, however, she ended up asking directions to Bosetukhagai from the soldiers, to which she got the answer that from her current location, it is approximately 58.3 trillion light years away. She then asked if there is a possibility if any of them could assist her in getting there, and as an answer, she immediately got teleported to Bosetukhagai. There, she was approached by a group of bandits, wanting to take her bracelet away, however she began running away, but got cornered in a corridor, where then after a series of lackluster and untrained fistfights, she, after sustaining more than a dozen wounds, she was able to apprehend the bandits, finishing them off with her bracelet. Then, after 3 minutes of walking, she was approached by Kafakaybolmus Olontoon, who began explaining to her that the Voidlord lately have not been in a good mood and he doesn't see murder in a very positive light and it would be outmost outstanding if she would obey the wishes of the Voidlord. She, as a response, asked about if there is any work that has to be done that would be considered ashamed upon if found out. Kafakaybolmus Olontoon gave a piece of paper in her hand and walked away, when she read the paper, it just showed a sequence of numbers, with some of them highlighted in a spiral pattern. To take her mind off the immense noise of the city, she began walking out of it, which she did after walking for 5 weeks without stopping. Then, with her limited general knowledge about everything, began trying to decipher whatever the paper was meant to tell her. She tried to decipher it for an immense amount of hours, sometimes going days without doing anything else, but she was, for the time being, unable to come up with anything.
=== 2021 ===
Anne came across a stone tablet on the ground, which after she red, blacked out, and woke up in an office room with no exits, which made her slightly panic. She looked to her left, where she found a VHS tape player, next to it being a VHS tape, labeled "Our Sole Endeavor", all of them being on a metal table. He played the VHS tape, which played a 12 minute long movie about an escaped convict rescuing a heavily mutilated, drugged and irradiated industrialist, who has been hunted by several companies, in the year 1906. Once the movie finished playing, Anne found herself back where she was prior, however when she opened her eyes, she saw a 457.2 centimeters tall humanoid entity in front of her, who have introduced himself as Endecal Vinida and have told her that his entire battalion is aware of her entire encounter with The Silent Riddler, and he believed that it would be mutually beneficial to both him and her if the both of them began working together. He, also before she could comment anything on any further plans to be decided, stated that this will be a two person operation and no outside assistance is to be expected and anyone not aligned to the either of them is free to be killed as well. Taking, Anne's silence as an affirmative response, Endecal teleported the both of them to a desert planet, which in truth was a moon to the planet where Anne got teleported to by The Silent Riddler. There, after a brief period of silence, a small group of mummies crawled out of the ground, allowing Anne to demonstrate the strength of her bracelet by making the mummies violently get ripped apart by the blue beams originating from it. Endecal then questioned her about the bracelet and its abilities, to which she answered with that she doesn't have much of a clue behind the inner workings, but from what she has witnessed and experienced, it doesn't seem to run out of power. And as just about she was about to finish her explanation, The Silent Riddler appeared out of nowhere, trying to kill Endecal by shooting at him with various types of weapons from various origins, but all of them were ineffective, and have led to her sustaining severe gunshot wounds, which have resulted in her retreat. Then, Anne asked Endecal regarding the length of this operation, to which she got the response, that it would take as long as the time it would take to kill The Silent Riddler. Then, once again, an ambush was attempted on the two of them by a group of mummies, however, much to the deterioration of Anne's calmness, more groups of mummies began crawling out of the ground, with the total number nearing 12000 in the end. However, just short of 4 minutes later, all mummies crumbled down on to the ground in their death, both due to the golden bracelet and Endecal's 1.75 gauge lever-action shotgun. After that, the two of them began walking in the direction of a smaller pyramid, which looked like it have been unopened ever since the finishing of its construction. Once they arrived there, they were rushed by a horde of aggressive beetles of not unsignificant size alongside with a smaller group of mummies. They survived the encounter with ease, furthermore, it made the both of them wonder what is beneath the ground, thinking that the mummies must be crawling out of somewhere, and as such Endecal punched a massive hole in the floor, resulting in them ending up in an underground chamber.
=== 2022 ===
After severe months of navigation, Anne and Endecal came across a portal, which was later on confirmed that it was recently opened, and next to the portal, there was a note on the ground written in an undecipherable handwriting, presumably written by The Silent Riddler. Then, Anne looked at the piece of paper that has been handed to her and have put it against the note on the ground and have noticed several similarities between the two texts, more specifically, the sequence of numbers and letters "6EQUJ5" appeared in both texts, which Endecal later on confirmed to be the coordinates of Earth, generated by an encoding algorithm mainly used by what he described as the "military vassals" of the Voidlord, and soon after that discovery, the both of them jumped into the portal, which have led the both of them back to Earth, more specifically, in Hungary, the city of Székesfehérvár. There, Endecal proclaimed that this is the part in the both of their stories where they part ways, despite what they agreed upon prior, to which Anne had no objections to, and they parted ways. Then, she took a walk around the city, and have noticed a distinct lack of kracatoan soldiers and additionally see signs that Székesfehérvár hasn't been occupied by kracatoans, for what she estimated as, for 22 years. Then, at the same time she was trying to scavenge for food, she was approached by another group of scavengers, demanding her to give over all of her valuables to them, however as a response, she mutilated and killed all of the scavengers with her bracelet. Mere moments later, she was approached by Jan Hasdalyn-Komonorović, a man of jewish, selynic, croatian and norwegian descent, who after seeing the power in her bracelet, began stating her that she was the field operator that he needed in order to assume control over the city. She then asked about who is he, to which he answered with that he is a defector from the Pannonian Guard and he recently willingly became a vampire due to him requesting a group of scientists stationed near the vicinity of Chernobyl to splice his gene with the gene of a newly discovered hematophagous megabat, also seeking to create a vampire clan on his own. Anne agreed to help on the condition that the vampire clan will put an emphasis on being skillful gunsmiths. Then, she set out to recruit people to this newly established vampire clan, which then was met with complications as an already existing vampire clan in the area, residing in the nearby cathedral, known as the Pásztor Clan, named after the clan's founder, Jónás Pásztor. Anne immediately sought to enter the cathedral, to which she ran complications into when she was outnumbered by approximately 1500 people, and it was 1495 more than what the bracelet was able to handle at once, making her retreat. She returned to the cathedral at night, managing to sneak inside unnoticed, where she found and stole a laptop and returned to the headquarters newly established by Jan, who himself at the time was absent. Anne then, looked thoroughly through the laptop for any interesting bits of information, then browsed through what was left of the internet, up until the laptop exploded, just as Jan returned to the headquarters, and have told her that if the laptop has been running for more than 10 minutes, it is a surprise that it lasted that long.
=== 2023 ===
Anne was on her way to the local library, to take it back from the Pásztor Clan, however on the way, she felt a very strong, yet, to her, unexplainable ghastly presence near her. As she entered the library, she saw that it was completely deserted, with no books in sight being for her, however a trail of fog began appearing on the floor, pointing her towards an unusually tall and black door. She opened the door and found herself in a very small room, with a table and a very dusty codex on top of it, named "The Annals of Edun Solom", written by Yalasilci the Avar. She dusted off the codex, but when she opened it, the ghost of a human person appeared behind her, telling her that even in written form he and his family was still dared to be lied about and that Jan is a dishonorable deceiver who displeases his ancestors. The ghost introduced himself as Eidolon von Selyn, and explained to her that given that she was unphased by this event in the first place, lending him a helping hand would bring her even less issues. Anne then answered that she is not content with helping anyone more, and even less content with helping someone who is so quick to insult her allies. Eidolon then cryptically said that she will know more once it is done, and then saying that Jan has yet to prove himself to be called anything other than a liar that is unworthy of any attention. Anne remained silent for a while, but then she agreed to help him. Then, he said that she is to travel to his castle, which she will easily find if she follows the eastern dirt road from where the Sonnesohn Chateau formerly was. He also told her to bring the codex with her, as it will be important later on. Anne then returned to Jan, and told him of the castle they could possibly relocate to, to which Jan was visibly disturbed by, saying that he is not sure how and where she got hold of the knowledge on that castle, but it would be better for the both of them if it was never mentioned again. However, before he could continue what he wanted to say, they were attacked by members of the Pásztor Clan, making Jan completely reconsider and agreeing to relocating there. They were chased until the Pásztor Clan retreated once they found themselves to be kilometers away from Székesfehérvár. After seven days, they arrived to the castle, however Jan spoke up and excused himself, stating that he is going to have an attempt of recruiting the locals to his own clan. Anne entered the castle, almost immediately hearing Eidolon's voice after, saying that he is upstairs, in the most northeastern room. Once she entered the room, Eidolon spoke to her again, saying that no lamentations were made after his passing, the same way how selynic rule over Europe died not in the screams of warfare, but in whimpers of bureaucracy. He instructed her to open the codex, and then told her to fully read it and she may speak to him only when she was done. And then, he transferred her enough knowledge for her to be able to read the codex fully. However, before she could start to do so, she heard footsteps, making her go downstairs, but it was only Jan, telling her that the recruitment was not successful and they shouldn't have stopped by this castle, but at the same time, for the time being, he is unwilling to move anywhere, as he found the previous seven days exhausting. Then, Eidolon quietly whispered into her right ear, saying that it is good that Jan has been brought here.
