As beings of unimaginable strength were looking on a lifetime of experiences of others, they could not watch all at one moment. In an impossibly close, yet unreasonably far away place, the self-named Astral Lords were watching over others lifetimes as if they were merely just long movies. However in an unwatched universe of the infinite others they were watching, something unnatural happened.


NY Red Zone 


The only living strand of the Redlight Virus was watching over the fight between Alex Mercer and James Heller. Without a doubt he could already tell who was going to win. He started to walk away until he noticed there was some kind of glowing white liquid on the rooftop behind him. The purely viral being tried to pick up a sample of it only for it to stick to him, and move up his arm. "What in the fu-" he thought only to be pulled in with unfathomable force.


Castle of The Two Sisters


"Ow. Well, first time for everything I guess." The virus started to survey his surroundings and started to hear noises. 

"...the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth Element: The Element of...Magic!" he heard (by a female if he were to guess), even if it was muffled slightly by the decrepit stone walls that now surround him. The viral being started to peek in on what was happening through the molded and rotting wooden doorway near him. It looked like equine-human hybrids were using some kind of plasma beam to kill a larger one.

"Wait...Why is that one still alive? It looks like they removed a portion of her size and age, leaving her but a child, possibly even taking away some memories. Just how advanced is this civilization?" He started to sneak off as it looked like another powerful hybrid was approaching the others. 

"Well I guess what I need to do now is find out where I am, and how I even got here." he thought as he slipped out of a nearby open window, seeming to have moss growing on it, still unnoticed by the hybrids.
