Chapter 1 - Chapter 0: Prologue

Darkness pours into my eyes, like the last flicker of sand falling down my clenched hands... My time was up.

My own self reflects on the mirror, bound by fate darker than black. My destiny, my exploitations, halted by a simple needle in my veins. Venom stops my heartbeat. A life that saw the fleeing light chase by strife yet dreams never reached.

Deceived, deluded, and betrayed, what happens next? Have I ever known? Are kindness and sympathy never the answer in times of strife?

When I thought my heart had stopped. It beats once again, echoing in my ears, slowly but sure weakening as time passes the morbid cold. Even in death, I felt the feelings of starvation. I felt... Pain?

I could move, I could taste the warmth of raw flesh within my fangs. My heart grew restless the more blood enters my jaws. I gnaw, I crunch, I chomp and bite, tearing through what seems to be a wall of flesh and muscles. Maybe it was my hunger but everything that enters my mouth, be it bones or meat, withered or moist, soft or not, it was delightful.

Light bask my pores, the coldness grew and spread across my skin. With the feeling of chill across my spine, I crawl what seems to be the only way out. Water flows from whence I came, white snow touch my white-furred skin. My merry six eyes blink with no order as I glimpse at a world anew.

Beautiful doesn't fit to describe what I see before this clear eyes of mine. Glittering balls of light sprinkled as far as the eyes can see. And a bridge of colourful light brings nought but joy to who sees it. Covet the cold white canvas beneath my bent legs, something amiss pierces my eyes. A small creature of blue carries with it a small ember of light.

For the first time, I felt like moving as a whole, even if my feet won't let me stand, my hands shall pull me to my destined land.

Departing from nature's beauty, I found my self before the mouth of darkness. Yet unbeknownst to all, light shines from the depths reeling me in.

"Papa... Where are you..."

A voice softly echoes in the darkness. Even then, all I felt is the hunger and craving for nourishment skewering me my every being... Reminding me of what to do. The light grew little by little, giving forth colour to what seems the abyss in the darkness. The small creature awaits me at the end of the tunnel. And as I reach my hands out, a jolt of pain ravage through my head.

"RRAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!"

For the first time, I heard my own voice, monstrous as it sounds, I felt no fear as I felt it has always been so.

My vision bloodied and black, I kept treading forth, heat weakens my body as the light shines on my reddened sight. The puny creature crawling, clawing mewling beneath my form.

"No, no, no! I don't want this. This is not fair, Papa save me!"

With its tiny hands, it pulls out a small claw worthy of laughter. With only a stretch of my hand, my superior claws plunge deep into its body and continue piercing the stones behind it.

With it's last bathed breath, it mewls,

"Pa...Pa."

I pulled my outstretch hand back. With the curiosity of unknown origins rising from my very soul... My eyes fall close to the creature's anatomy. With two blue dead eyes and blue hair, I drag it closer to my maws. My fangs crush the creature easily as it bones break beneath the might of my jaws. Softer, mellower and inviting to my elongated tongue. I leave none to escape my lips.

Only then when the pain in my stomach disappears. My vision returns to me as if someone had blessed me to glimpse what is truth. Yet my body slumps beside the light, my eyes grew heavy, my body burdened as if a thousand chains pulling me to the earth. I begin to wonder...

"What have I done?"
