Chapter 4 - Pray to thy Goddess

Well crap I think I may or may not have died!

Currently I find myself in a black void doing nothing but floating around like I was in zero gravity. When I first woke up and found myself flouting I got sick from the spinning and almost barfed in my mouth.

After flailing around for what seemed like an eternity I finally righted myself or I was in a position that did not feel upside down. I know it doesn't make sense since all around me is darkness so I had no way to know up, I guess it's just a gut feeling.

Still, at least in this place I could breath or I could survive in this black void, but after a while I got used to the movement.

The only problem seems to be some pressure around me on all sides like I am deep under water, but it didn't seem to be deadly and it didn't bother me so much so I ignored it and just foucued on calling out to maybe reach someone or really anything.

"Hello Is anyone there!" I continued to call out but no one answered

After calling out for about an hour I give up due to my voice getting hoarse and so I simply laid back and sighed as I thought about how I got here.

All I can think of was that armored chick and the object she was carrying in her hand, maybe it was a gun and that whole glowing circle was just me hallucinating from blood loss.

So maybe this is hell or limbo, and although I was never a religious person I can think of no other reason for what this place could be. So am I dead?

But that can't be right? because the whole ordeal felt so real, there was no life flashing before my eyes or some angels to guide me and even though I blacked out, before when the light was rising I felt myself being broken apart piece by piece, molecule by molecule.

I stopped that thought since just thinking about it was giving me a headache, still I had nothing else to do so I started singing and I think that since I am in this black void there was only one song that could fit the criteria.

"Hello darkn-OUCH!"

I shouted as I suddenly felt a strong pain in my foot, but that can't be since there is nothing around me. I looked down and tried to find what was wrong with my foot but nothing was there.

I don't mean nothing was wrong with my foot I mean my foot was currently see through like a ghost and my toes were now gone!

My breathing was getting quicker and my heart was pumping so fast I thought it would pop!

I started to freak out and hyperventilate, I mean it's not everyday that you learn that you are disappearing, but after a few minutes floating back and forth and getting it mostly out of my system I started to calm down and try to think this through rationally.

Currently I was floating around randomly in some space and I happened to also be disappearing, ok now that I know that what is happening let's see what can I do… aaaand it also appears to be spreading.

I can only stare at what's left of my leg and sigh as I can only watch as more and more of me seemed to be disappearing. I was left with very few options so the only thing could do was touch it.

Still I hesitant with my hand which was currently hovering over the disappearing part of my leg, I mean what if I made it worse or It would cause it to be unfixable, but with me disappearing faster I threw caution to the wind and I touched it.

I flinched because I was expecting some pain but when my hand touched what was left of my leg I felt nothing. It felt weird like sticking your hand in warm smoke, and as I moved my hand out some wisps came with.

I seemed to just stare at this tiny wisps as they flowed around my finger and suddenly just vanished, I had to blink hard and rub my eyes to see if what I saw really happened.

I had a blank face as I just stared harder at my hand that was also now disappearing, and when I was not paying attention, my legs were now gone. I felt dejected at my fate to simply disappear.

While all this was going on the pressure that I felt at first was mild was increasing more and more with each passing second, getting to the point that it was painful to breath.

I stared down at all that was left of me, a small part of a torso and could only look back to found memories of my past when I also came to a new realization.

My memories of my childhood and up where disappearing as well!

I could not even remember my parents names or even their faces! I don't even remember my name, I closed my eyes ready for the end and simply resigned to my fate.

I heard a weird ringing noise and a pressure that continued to get stronger and stronger to the point where my head felt like it was going to explode because of all the pressure that was pushing onto my head.

I gave one last heartfelt scream before what was left of my face went slack, with a blank expression showing no emotion.

Then nothing and the only thing I saw was darkness, pitch black darkness that would swallow me whole, an infinite void of nothingness like a blanket covering creation itself.

What happened?

Where am I?

...Who am I?

As time seemed to drag on I felt the pressure increasing to unimaginable heights, and I could only wonder where John is.

Who is John?

As I drifted in the darkness I felt that all that made me who I am was slipping away from my mental crasp. Memories, experiences, my very existence was being wiped clean, disappearing into nothingness.

I looked down at myself and only saw a strange blue wisp, is this my soul? The once ever present pressure was gone, replaced by a cold feeling like a claw of ice was squeezing me.

But I no longer cared as although I did not know who I was. I did know at least that it would all be over soon, because the darkness would swallow me so I simply waited for it to end.

"Are you so sure of that little one?"

A voice boomed out, a voice filled with the power of the cosmos. The voice set a commanding tone, it was the tone of a ruler, a king! whatever that is because I can't seem to remember what a king was.

Oh well problems for another time, still the voice was not masculine but feminine, the voice was like beautiful bells swaying in the wind. The voice was also like a vixen that promised unimaginable things, it was what could only be described in one word and that's Beautiful.

A light suddenly came into existence right before me and I was blinded by the light. I was frightened and tried to get away, or float away but I suddenly felt two soft hands cup me.

They were soft and as they held me a warmth came from them that seemed to chase away the cold and gloomy void of darkness. I felt content to stay there and as I snuggled up like a kitten by the fireplace still just a soul, the voice that was once commanding was laughing.

The woman seemed to take great joy out of my actions and was giggling at me. The vibrations from the laughter seemed to massage my soul or body into even greater relaxedness. I could only sigh in pure bliss and look up from the woman's hands into the eyes of my savior.

When I looked I was blinded once more, but not in the physical sense, no by her beauty. So beautiful, she was just perfect in every sense of the word, her sky colored hair framed a gentle face, her grey eyes looked right through me, and her smile lit up the night.

She smiled at me and giggled again, almost as if she could see my dumb struck look, and then she spoke once more.

"Are you really ready to give up so soon Alex?"

ALEX! Thats my name.

And with that thought it suddenly felt like a dam had broken in my mind, memories, thoughts, feelings, and everything else that made Alex Fowler who he is came rushing back to the soul.

As Alex started remembering everything, the soul that was currently him went from a wispy smoke colored to a deep blue, and it even increased in size, and after it finished transforming it returned to its original state from before the void.

While Alex still as a soul was deep in thought, trying to organize and sift through his thoughts the glowing woman was looking at him strangely. She was nodding her head and was mumbling, though Alex was not paying attention.

"Hmm, yes he will do, he will do quite nicely yes now I can finally join in on the fun of those party poopers."

She gave a maniacal laugh after she said this which did not quite fit with her appearance, but still Alex was reeling from all the information he just got back so he did not see it.

The glowing woman seemed to suddenly come out of her daydream and stopped rubbing her hands together like some evil genius. She stared at the soul of Alex and snapped her fingers suddenly like she just remembered something.

"Right this won't do at all, well the world better get ready for Alex 2.0."

As she said this she put her hands on either side of Alex's soul when a strange power came from them and wrapped around the soul. It looked like a strange rainbow colored liquid that flouted and encased the preoccupied soul. After doing this the woman's hands started moving at unimaginal speeds that seemed to be shaping the energy around Alex's soul.

The once blob of energy started to take a huminode shape, but the woman was not done. Her hands moved faster and faster and like a master sculptor a human started to take shape.

Soon it started to look like Alex but the woman was not happy with what it once was and decides to make some changes to what she calls the original design.

For one thing the new bodies muscles seemed to have filled out, the hair was changed as well to the color of a night sky. The eye color that was once brown were now a deep blue, and for a finishing touch she threw in a drop of golden blood which fused with the body.

The glowing woman flew around the body with her arms crossed and one hand on her chin nodding as she double checked her work. She nodded along until she got to the front again and looking down she frowned.

She slapped a hand on her face calling herself an idiot and started grumbling about how she has only worked with women and flew over to correct her "cough" mistake.

After fixing the mishap she flew in close to the body and looked at the face that looked like it was sleeping. She leaned in like she was about to kiss him, her breathing getting faster and her cheeks getting slightly red...when she slapped him hard in the face!

Before Alex was in his own world trying to reorganize his memories and thoughts when he felt something warm wrap around him, still he did not pay attention to it, and when he finally finished getting everything in order he felt a large pain in his cheek.

Wait his cheek? His eyes suddenly flew open and right before him was the glowing woman who was currently holding her stomach and crying from the laughter.

He was spinning round and round doing a floating cartwheel from the powerful slap, but he could not seem to stop. He once again felt like hurling for the third time today. Alex wanted to be mad but he just couldn't be angry at that face and he could only sigh and wait for her to calm down.

It took her a few minutes for her to calm down, and with a wave of her hand I stopped spinning, but when she saw my disoriented look she almost started laughing again even though I thought that it was not that funny.

Her shoulders were still shaking slightly when she wiped the tears away and gave me a suddenly serious look and spoke a few words with that beautiful meliodas voice of hers.

"Good luck, and don't forget to call me back"

I wanted to tell her that I wouldn't even know how to get in touch, plus what do you mean good luck? Suddenly I felt a tingling sensation on the back of my right hand, looking at it I saw a strange green glowing symbol.

Looking up I was about to ask her what it is when I saw her giving me a little wave goodbye and she mouthed the word toodaloo.

Almost as soon as she finished mouthing the word did I feel myself get flung back like I was shot out of a cannon, then I blacked out again.
