This is where the story began.

It all started with the discovery of findthestarlight.com. It is a tumblr blog authored by a mysterious person only known as M. The first post showed up with several pictures and items, one even scribbled over in what might just have been crayon. The post itself read as follows:

Back here was the very beginning of the story of Find the Starlight.

This was the Prologue: Black and White:

On a blank white space, images began to appear unannounced.

Over several weeks, new images and items appeared with the message “Come back” repeated each time.

After ten items were shown, things stayed that way for a few weeks. Then they all vanished, and a new image of a couple appeared.

Over time, the image was covered with a child’s writing, after a figure appeared in the doorway in the background. Then the picture was covered with three cards: the two of hearts, then the Jack of Spades, then the King of Hearts (the Suicide King).

Then everything was gone, and a question appeared:

“Where is the ice?”

The ten items reappeared, but this time they were scattered and numbered.

And those who followed the faint mist of a story that was about to begin set out to find answers.

Over a month passed, then a new post came along, showing ten numbered items, some of which had been seen in the first post.
