NINE

The only memories I have are of being studied and tortured.
My captors were slowly killing me.

When I got the chance to escape, I took it—even though doing so left my brothers alone in that prison.

Yet, I’m not truly free myself, because the guilt and pain eat away at me daily.

I stumbled into a place called the Badlands by accident.
It’s a sanctuary for people like me—but then, I’m not like them.
Not at all.

I stay, simply because I have nowhere else to go.
I have nothing, definitely not a purpose to continue existing…

Until her.

LITA

You do things in life you have no choice in.
I know that lesson better than anyone.

I have a job to do and that’s it.
For me, it’s all about survival.

I never planned on Jay. I never planned on my reaction to him.
I definitely never planned on falling in love with a man I would be forced to betray.

Welcome to the world of the Eternals. Supernatural beings finding their way in a world they don’t belong to, yet have no choice but to live in.
