I've had this idea brewing in the back of my mind for a while. I think it could be pretty cool. What do you guys think?
In the land of Altanocte, the souls of the virtuous dead are sent to heaven, while sinners are condemned to the bottom of the sea for all eternity, where their sins have stained the waters black. Occasionally, a family of great wealth will commission the church to send a member of their holiest sect, the tiger-riding warriors known as Divers, down into the black depths to retrieve the soul of a loved one so that they can be purified and sent to heaven.
Oid is chosen to retrieve the soul this time. A veteran Diver, there are those who think he has spent too much time down in the midnight sea and he is at risk of being corrupted beyond salvation. But he has kept the church's commandments all his life. He has bathed himself in holy sunlight until he could see the true light beyond it. His tiger's stripes have been darkened by the repeated exposure to sin, but Oid knows his faithful mount's heart remains pure. There is nothing that can pierce the shield of his faith.
Or is there?
This will be no ordinary rescue mission. The soul he is to save is located in the deepest, darkest part of the black ocean: an eternal gala of wickedness and perversion known as the Masquerade. There, the souls of the most wicked men to ever walk Altanocte congregate, waiting for something
Thirsting
Lusting.
One way or another, this will be Oid's last mission. Will he get away and race for the morning? Or will he become the newest star of the Masquerade?
