Flashes of words echoing flowed through Nora's brain as her body began to shake while she slept.
'The War's dusk..'
'..Darken Sun..'
'...No One..'
'...Champion of Time'
Stars began to cover Nora's vision as she began to wake up, feeling around Nora did not find her comforter. Instead felt soft sand below her, grabbing a handful of sand Nora sat up and opened her palm to watch the sand fall, now completely taking in all her surroundings Nora sat in awe. The sky held the galaxy, planets, constellations, every astronomical thing one can think of, it was here. Small and huge hour glasses spread throughout the land and the sound of a ticking clock was faint but well heard by those who listened.
Though Nora's peace and awe couldn't last forever.
The stars in the sky started to shift, eventually making a circle, but it didn't stop there. The stars started to rotate clockwise, starting slow only to speed up, The sand around Nora was lifting off the ground. The ticking sound of the clock got louder and overwhelming to Nora in which she covered her ears and closed her eyes hoping it would all go away. Abruptly the noises stopped, silence, pure and chilling silence. Nora slowly lifted her head and took her hands from her ears, looking around her there were five stars surrounding her.
The first one that was directly in front of the girl was vibrant red with a bright cyan in the middle, the star that burned on her right side was a beautiful Azure blue with a lilac color in the middle, the star to Nora's five o'clock was Mint green like the springs sun with lavender in the middle of the bright being, the fourth star was located at the raveonettes seven o'clock, it was a rosewood color, dark yet so bright, white burned through the main color of the star, and the last star was located on her right side, now this star looked like the iconic star, bright gold yellow remained the main color and the middle was a tiger orange.
The stars didn't move, they just stayed surrounding the female, wherever Nora moved the stars moved with her. Looking up, Nora was faced with a large eye in the galaxy-like sky, eyes widening, Nora's body felt paralyzed, the eye was pure white it was like a mirror, Nora could see herself though. The stars that surrounded her finally started to move but they only moved to certain heights, while the eye that stared at Nora blinked and not even a second later the eye moved down and started to morph into a figure. Nora felt a heavy hand on her shoulder and was forced down to the soft sand.
"Nora Vesperi.."
Nora felt the heavy hand that held her shoulder move and roughly tugged her hair causing her to look up to the one speaking, There stood a woman who looked about 6'5 in height, she had silver hair with streaks of blue and pink, two sets of pure white wings, her skin tone was a honey brown, she had a white symbol under her right eye it was just a streak down, and she wore a plum purple dress with stars littering the bottom design of the outfit. Nora felt her head get shoved in sand once more only to be brought up to look up at the female figure again.
"Respond to her, insolent child." The voice that commanded Nora was stern and angry sounding.
The woman before her patiently waited for the young heterochromic female to respond.
"My names Nora 'Thena'" Nora never heard anyone call her by that last name, she knew it was Akatone's last name and that was her cousin but she had no memory of her last name all she remembered was 'Thena'.
"Is that what you wish to go by? Very well. Young one, I am Urana, or Chaos in some depictions."
- First Person - ◇ Nora Thena ◇ -
What the shit..
Was this like some crack dream or something.
"Nagisa please, let go of her, let her stand." Urana's voice was gentle and kind.
-Nagisa? Did she say Nagisa? Feeling the rough hand leave my sore head I got up and looked in the directions of the person who held me down. There stood a 6'4 woman with red hair in a pixie cut, her cyan eyes glaring at me, under right eye was a scale symbol, it looked like the roman numeral five but upside down, skin warm white, and her outfit was a crimson long coat that had chains hanging at the end of it.
This is what my mother looked like?
Looking to the side I noticed the other four, I'm safely guessing who are also primordials. Kiane stood at 6'2 in height, her skin pale purple, she had a cobalt pattern of flowers under her right eye, and her eyes were astonishing they held golden crescent moons in them, next to her I guessed was Karasuna, stood at a height of 6'2, she had light purple hair, her eyes mint green and the symbol under her right eye was a slanted beamed eighth note, she smiled softly when our eyes met. Turning my attention to the wine purpled haired goddess, Corvina, she stood at a height of 6'0 her eyes pure white with the symbol under her right eye being an upside down triangle. Finally it was Rei. I could not tell their gender whatsoever, their hair was hazel brown with streaks of yellow that was put in a low ponytail, their eyes orange that faded to yellow, their symbol god writing though I could not tell what it said, now their face looks feminine but unlike their sisters they didn't have a curvy body or chest, nothing.
So they/them until told otherwise.
"Why am I here?" I turned to face Urana again, turning my back to the five primordials.
"Well young one, I have come to ask a..favor from you."
"And that would be?"
"Just before I ask, just know that it's okay to say no this is optional." Her voice did not comply with her words, not in my opinion at least.
"Nora Thena, I would like you to be my champion, I will grant you all kinds of abilities, but I need you to accept the offer first."
Is this because of those anesthetics Akatone gave me? What in the cathonic deities is happening?
"If I may-"
Urana's eyes narrowed towards Nagisa, "No you may not."
Nagisa took in a sharp breath and lowered her head.
"I will be back in 3 days time, I will be hoping for an answer."
"Wait-"
And just like that it was all gone.
I sat up gasping for air, my body felt numb and like needles were stabbing me. I felt lightheaded, my vision was unfocused, and my heart was beating fast. I felt something soft crawl into my lap and lay down, looking down I slowly began to see a birman cat, Hesperus, one of Akatone's cats. Trying my best to slow down my breathing, I began to rethink everything.
Was any of that real?
