The Man

Little is known of the Man. He appeared to Joel upon his doorstep in 2018. Carrying Sapphire with him. Like a mere Spectre. Ephemeral in its transcience, unforgettable in its splendor.

He was without any discenable features, and was blacker than the darkest night. His robe was woven of starlight, and had countless galaxies dancing across it.

Outside of that, nothing is known about him. His name, his true form, or his purpose. Everything about his ide tity was shrouded in enigma. But what was known, is that it was no being from the mundane materium of demensioned space.

It was infinite, its mere presence overshadowing all reality. As if it were embracing all withen its all-encompassing bosom.

Was this Sapphire's Father, giving him to Joel, so that he could raise her untill he blossoms like a radiant lotus. Or was it a Guardian giving her to Joel so that she will never become what she was born to be. Retarding her development, so that she dies in the flesh. Forever bound to the limitations of the flesh, and the omnipresence of mortality

Or maybe it was neither, a being beyond any description conjurable by the minds or words of man. Incomprehensible in its motives, of which no man, no being of flesh, can decipher.
