Lethe

Darkness surrounds you as you gasp for air, water choking your lungs. You have no recollection of how you got here. Panic sets in as you struggle to stay afloat in the frigid waters, disoriented and alone.

Just when it seems like the abyss will claim you, skeletal hands reach through the inky depths. They grasp your floundering form, pulling you up and onto a decaying wooden deck. Coughing and sputtering, you find yourself on the ghostly ship's rain-soaked planks.

“Welcome aboard," the Captain rasps, voice echoing with an otherworldly resonance. "You are a lost soul, washed up on the shores of the forgotten. Here, in the spectral embrace of the River Lethe, memories are devoured by the abyss.”

The captain's words send a chill down your spine. You realize that you have no recollection of your past, your identity stolen by the amnesiac waters of the River Lethe.
