What happens when humanity divests itself of its humanity?  What happens to the very fabric of society when we lose touch with the very thing that makes us human?  Can society really advance itself when it looses sight of its core capacity to relate to others, care for others, and seek the ultimate good of the whole?  Erik is the epidome of the great divestiture.  He has excelled above all his race to achieve the ultimate separation from his own humanity.

In pursuit of pure knowledge and cold sterile logic, Erik has pushed the boundaries of what it means to live within a relational society.  Cold World is a world pushed to the very edges of technilogical sophistication and advancement.  In this world Erik excels, but he has had a pay a terrible price.  His breakthroughs in science have caused a severe rift in dimensional parallels that separate the dark world of lost dreams from reality.  His science has fueled the great divestiture and this has advanced the deterioration of the dimensional gateways between the dark realm and his world.  Nightmares and defects of exercised emotions are beginning to pour through the rift, and one wretched being seeks revenge on Erik.  She has no name but she knows Erik and she was born in pain through his manipulations of the dimensioanl causeways.  She can only find peace through his death and she wil pursue him througout the timestream to end his life and find rest.

Erik, faced with the greatest terror and threat he has ever faced, is forced to flee to earth in an attempt to draw her energy away from Cold World and trap her there.  If he succeeds, Cold World will survive.  If he fails, the lives of millions will be forfiet as the dark realm merges into one space in time with Cold World.
