The process was dangerous. It feels as though I've noticeably aged, but that doesn't matter now. With her awakening, I will accomplish the task assigned to me. This place wasn't meant to understand the secrets of the Vortexta. Despite that we uncovered something forbidden, no, Taboo. It was a mistake to have gotten involved in the first place.
But everything will change once she wakes, because once she does, nothing in this world can stop it from happening. I would have never even dreamed of doing this, but that was when I didn't know what they were planning. I feel betrayed, and if I could've, I would've left if I had the opportunity. But sadly that opportunity never came and I don't believe it ever will..
And you know what they say.
Desperate times call for destructive measures.
[WORLD SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT: THE PLANET HAS BEEN INVADED BY A FOREIGN ENTITY. PLEASE ASSIST IN THEIR DESTRUCTION BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE]

In a stronghold facility sat a number of testing tubes, each of which filled with liquid that shimmered like emeralds. Inside, humanoid figures could be seen being poked and prodded by men shrouded in gray cloaks. They had pure white hourglass-shaped crests on their chests.
One of these tubes was hidden away from the common employees of the facility. Inside was the figure of a girl no older than 10, floating in a fetal position. Nothing would be considered out of the ordinary compared to the other tubes, if it weren't for the liquid that was within the tube this girl resided in. If you didn't know any better you'd believe her to be stuck in a sort of liquid gold.
Though the identity of the girl within this strange liquid is a greater mystery, especially that of her hair, you can only come out of these thoughts a madman.
On one side of the girl's hair, it's as pure white as the moons in the skies. On the other half, it's as black as a midnight sky in the dead of winter. You can feel a nightmare slinking around in the back of your mind just by staring at it.
Opposite the suspicious tube the visage of a tired man is seen working on documents. His body was rigid with frustration painted over their face.
"This is unbelievable."
Putting the documents aside with an Aggrieved sigh, he looks over at the tube beside him, annoyance evident on his face. Turning towards the door behind him, he proceeded to leave the room.
Without even looking back as he stalked out, he whispered somberly to himself. "Every day I come back here, it feels like I'm forever stuck in the past." With a heavy sigh, Looking above he swore
"I swear to that she will return to me, and the fools who took her away from us will pay!" with that final statement they leave without any more pause.
*THUMP*

3 HOURS LATER
Back in the room with the golden pod, the girl inside sleeps. Unlike the previous silent nights something was different.
*CRACK*
The glass began to shake and crack under a pressure invisible to the naked eye.
A sliver of silver light cracks through the tube and appears to spread throughout the entirety of the tube like a spiderweb. The girl who floats inside of this "cage" slowly awoke like a newborn baby opening their eyes for the first time. But the eyes you'd expect to see were instead a pure white glow that permeated through the pod.
This seemingly harmless action shakes the entirety of the room and the already unstable pod immediately shatters. But contrary to what you would logically believe, the liquid doesn't just fall to the floor. It defies gravity and keeps the shape it had previously assumed inside the tube.
As this is happening two crescents appear on the back of her hands
Not a single soul was granted the right to witness the spectacle. And just as everything appears to die down, two crescent-shaped marks appear on the back of her hands. The golden substance, as if broken from a spell, begins to react to its surroundings. Then, in a frightening turn of events, the unthinkable happens.
*KABOOOOOM*
