BLANK'S POV:
Emptiness. That's my world. Sometimes I get pulled out, but it's only to the same dull place. A place full of pain and screams. I hear them in my dreams now, if I even have them.
A void. Floating there, suspended in a world of darkness. Sometimes I try to get out, but what's the point? I don't even know who I am anymore. I don't even know if I was somebody. But after however long I have spent here, I know one thing. I have to escape. I can't take it anymore, the screams, I mean. I heard the bigger-ones talking, calling me "the first successful blank." I don't know what that means, but they seem to think that it's a good thing. But I don't want to be a blank. I just want to exist. Without pain. Without screams. I want to explore outside, if there even is such a thing. I want to find beings like me, though that's impossible. The bigger-ones said that there is nothing else like me, that I was unique. A combination of all the best traits from all the best species. I think they were trying to cheer me up, but when I listened, it only lead to back to the needle-room. More pain. More screams. I must escape.
Escape. I must escape it is my only option. I can't do this anymore. I just can't. I have tried to keep tabs on all of the bigger ones to find an opening to the outside. Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow is the day I will escape
PROFESSOR ABI'S POV
change. Everyone needs it. This world wouldn't be where it is without it. When I first joined chimera, I was skeptical. Skeptical of what we were doing to these children in the name of "change." If it was right or not. But now I know that doesn't matter. These children, these.. things have no emotion, no sense of self. The only thing they are is a means to a goal. Change. A goal which I, professor Abi, will accomplish.
KREN JIREN'S POV:
Me. I am a king. Of one of the three major nations, no less. I want the best for my people, but I take precedence. Carrelia and mystalia. those two stand in the way of my goal. My goal to open the borders. They seem to think that it is dangerous outside. That we, as a continent, could be consumed when we do. But I know better. Once we open the gates, my country will prevail. Those damned magic users and halflings will not be able to survive. They will die, but not me. not jiren. Not the way of the sword itself for that is what we embody, as a nation. No borrowed power like mystalia, or just blending it together like carrelia, no. The sword will prevail. It always has and always will. That is why I gave that group, chimera, was it? Yes, chimera, a massive amount of money to create a being with great talent in everything. The physique of dragons, the wit of man, the cunningness of the elves, and the savagery of the vampires. A blank slate they called it, but never mind that, in three solari spins I will have the building blocks for the best weapon in the world. Destruction to mine enemies, and virtues to my friends. This is the way of the jiren, if the sword.
