I opened my eyes confused as to where I was, who was I? I stood upon a platform. What was happening? There was a woman in front of me. She stood, looked at me, and touched my forehead. Her fingertips were warm to the touch. Her white hair was relatively short. She had a dark skin completion almost like honey. She smiled and talked in some ancient language,
"Ain Fruak Tamanakfad" Then I felt a rush of something in my body. A warm feeling engulfing my head slowly moving towards my chest past my arms, down past my abdomen, and around my legs. Then the sensation swirled back up into my left hand. When I looked down at my hand there were six marks. The first one, glowing a light blue color. "Congrats you've become a saint!" The woman cheerfully said as she moved out to a person beside me. He was tall, he had orange eyes, and black hair slicked back into a ponytail. He had dark welts under his eyes. He wore a black kimono with red flowers decorating various parts of it. He had a sword by his side, one of his hands grabbing the hilt. He had a muscular build and looked like he could probably crush anyone he wanted to. I looked back down at my hand then around the room only to realize that there were five other people standing beside me. They were all of varying heights, and each looked as if they had some kind of different style to them. Some dressed formally while some dressed more laid back. Then after the woman had finished on the dude beside me she left the room and someone else came in. He had a stern face and then I noticed that both he and the other woman had something around their heads. What was it called? Oh yeah, a halo.
"Welcome. I have come here today to give you a rundown of the future events to come. First I will tell you why you're here." He said before taking a brief breath
I closed my eyes and yawned.
But when I opened my eyes I was somewhere else again. Feeling like I had just woken up I stared up at the sky. Hearing at first faint whispering but then I heard someone speaking.
"He's just an innocent bystander." Someone spoke but their voice was familiar. April?
"Argh are you stupid normal people cant cross into the rooms!" There was another voice, this time deeper and almost mature in a way. What were rooms I wondered in the back of my mind?
"How about we just erase his memory?" The first voice said in a nonchalant tone. I peeked, barely opening my eyes. I saw two people, one girl, and one guy. The girl had her hair tied together into some kind of bun thing. What was it called? A man bun? Whatever. The other dude was taller and looked relaxed as if he'd done this a million times before.
"Fine but not before we question him he just woke up anyway. Finish it quickly I'll meet you back at base" He said gazing in my direction then disappeared. What happened? The girl agreed then started heading in my direction.
"It's not polite to eavesdrop ya know?" She said in an almost playful tone. She sat me up and looked me in the eyes. I looked back almost in fear. She looked like April, but something was strange about her, her eyes glowed a green color. She crouched down but before she could say anything I asked,
"Are you April?"
"Oh, you remember me! I guess this might be a little awkward then." She said letting out a chuckle. "So do you remember how you got here?" she asked smirking but then she added, "oh and don't bother lying I hate liars". I took a deep breath remembering what had happened. I told her that I had simply walked into the alleyway trying to feed a stray cat. all the while she stared at me with her piercing green eyes. She then asked if I'd seen anything strange. Not thinking I lied,
"Um no I didn't see anything that strange. All I know is that I got hit by something and now I'm here." I smiled as I tried to pass it off. She would fall for it, right? I couldn't help but wonder why April was here. I froze as the thought that she was here to finish the job entered my mind. I gulped. April was wearing a dark sweater with panda ears but she had pieces of armor strapped all around her, along with leggings. Is that what it was called? Anyways, something did seem strange. She had a mark on her hand too, glowing a greenish brownish color. When I looked at her face however she almost looked mad. I slid my hand behind my back. Then she grinned as if she was about to kill me. Her hand suddenly turned into a sharp blade she brought the blade to my neck. and whispered to me,
"I told you, don't lie to me. I hate liars." She stood up, her hand transforming back. She moved her hand and tapped me on the shoulder. Suddenly I felt pain erupting all over my arm, searing in a burning sensation. I felt my muscle spasm. It felt like my arm was breaking itself. I yelled out in pain. I looked at her forcing back any possible signs of crying, glaring at her. Then I yelled,
"WHAT DID YOU DO!"
"Oh don't shout! no woman likes that", she said smirking. She then laughed and said, "how about this let's play a game! If you tell the truth all the way I'll give you a surprise. However, if you lie three times starting now I'll kill you!" looking almost proud she bent back down and said, "I'll ask again, did you see anything strange?"
