Broody: Your story begins with reincarnation. In an ivy-covered tower there is a darkly Byronic anti-hero who has an unnatural hair color.

"You're so beautiful..." he said as he died in her arms.

He had to find her. She was still in danger from the people who had hired him. He staggered to his feet and surveyed the streets from the cover of darkness.

The world had changed: spindly glass towers tearing the sky, cars screeching through the air above.

Still, he knew she was somehow still in this new world, and that he had to find her -- no matter how many lifetimes it would take.
