It is London in 1599 and a hansom young man serenades his sweetheart Lilith at her balcony with a lute. She remarks that his blood is afire and welcomes him inside, but he is far from impressed by the dark and dingy interior. She silences him with a kiss but when she draws away her face is transformed into a warped mask.
She introduces him to her mothers, Doomfinger and Bloodtide; equally hideous creatures who pounce and devour the young boy, leaving Lilith to stand and declare:
“Soon, at the hour of woven words, we shall rise again…and this fleeting Earth will perish”
