When I woke up, I was in the bed of a cozy little cabin. With a mysterious guy sitting outside on the porch drinking coffee, and talking to himself. I stood up, but couldn't stand up as major body aches just kept halting me from moving any further. I tried to speak but only small grunts and heavy breaths came out of my mouth. But somehow through that, I got him to get my attention.
Mysterious Guy: "Oh? I didn't see you there, little bug."
537465616d0a: "Huhha" Don't call me little bug I said to myself.
"Here, drink this. It's medicine."
"uh" I managed to speak out. In a pose to a thank you.
Grabbing the medicine and slowly drinking it. I thought, "This mysterious guy is so kind to me. But I wonder what his name is."
Mysterious Guy: "Oh! AHaha. Sorry for the late introduction, My Name is Dayson. I live here in the forest because I like nature and love quiet places" "Away from people…" He muttered. "How di-"
"Oh ahahaha, you're wondering how I knew what you're thinking. Well to simplify it, I can hear things really, really well... Like so well in fact that I used to be able to hear when the world cries. But not anymore.. Ever since then, my powers have been unstable acting like a 6th sense rather than an ability. But enough with me, you must be hungry. Wanna go out to eat?"
"What's go out to eat?" I thought. I knew what eating was, just I never heard an expression like that before.
"Oh really? Ahaha, It means we're going to eat some really good food."
"Really! But my-"
"Don't worry, I came prepared. I got a very comfortable wheelchair just for you. So if you want to, and till your body gets better, going outside and exploring the world would be much easier. With me guiding right behind you that is ahahaha."
"Okay Then, What are we waiting for, "Cough, Cough" Let's get moving!"
"Right back at cha! Hahaha"
I won't ever know if it was ever a coincidence, fate, or luck that decided to let all of my most favorable memorable moments be the day of Christmas but I'm not complaining. For the 1st time in 7 years, no, for the 1st time in my life have I ever received such great kindness and warmth from within my soul? Till this day I thank you Dayson. I really do…
'On the way to go out to eat'
"So, um… What kind of food do you want to eat?"
"What kind of food?" "I wouldn't know what to eat. You see-"
"Oh, right… Well let me get something you might like to eat. Stay here."
"Stay here" he said, and again like a dog I stayed put joyfully wagging its tail, waiting for their owner to come back. But I've waited and waited too long already. I was a rebellious little puppy who just came out of the womb of my mother, only to be faced in front of some ant's.
Random Man1: "Huh? Wait that girl over there… Isn't she the Bosses Daughter!?!"
Random Man2: "Huh? I wouldn't know, no one knows what the boss's daughter looks like. Why don't we go up and ask about their parents or something?
"Yeah, let's go do that."
"Hey kid, Where are your parents?"
"No kid, Who are your parents?"
537465616d0a: "Tah" I can't talk to strangers, I said to myself.
"Tah!?! Forget about her, she's "Just a Mut."
""Yeah, a stupid one at that""
"A Mut?" And a "Stupid one at that?" "Huh. You guys got a lot of nerve bullying a child. How about you pick on someone your own Size!"
Random man2: "uh- young mas-"
Random man1: "Ok, ok, we'll leave. Sorry for picking on your daughter sir, we're just trying to find somebody."
"Daughter huh… WELL GET GOING THEN!"
'Random men: Running away.'
"Fewwie, are you ok?"
"Yes I'm okay." "Thank you for saving me though"
"Yeah.. But well anyways, I brought you some steam buns. I hope you'll like em"
Taking the steam buns from his hand, the heat that radiated off from it reminded me of mothers warmth that had long since been of absence. The smell of the light aroma of milk, mixed with a wild variety of pork, chicken, beef, and even chocolate? WIth no further adieu I bite in. Oh Such a wonderful and heavenly taste held within my mouth, we couldn't wait for the chance that this 'Steam bun' might get cold.
It's Delicious "I talked!?" What is this food called Again?!?! "I asked Dayson"
"It's called a Steam Bun. You want more?"
Yes! Yes! Please, I want some More!
"Steam bun, Steam Buns" I thought to myself. Such a heavenly flavor made with a mix of flour, yeast, sugar, baking powder, milk and oil, folded into a yolk of beef, pork or chicken to make it even more delicious. Melting away at just the slight touch of the tongue. "I'd never tasted anything more beautiful." I thought to myself.
"Okay little Steamy Bun, here you are." He said while grabbing a napkin and wiping off smudges on my face.
Steamy bun? "I said" Is that my name?
Realizing that the girl he took in didn't have a name, Dayson felt sorry and pitiful for the little egg yolk.
"Would you like your name to be "Steamy Bun?" He asked.
"Steamy Bun.." Yes! Would you please call me Steamy Bun from now on?
"I'd love to, my little Steamy Bun." Dayson said while laughing joyfully.
That day was the happiest day of my life. December 25th, 20011, the day I was born, and the day I was named, and for the further more happy days of my life. "I'd be so delighted to have everyday be December 25th," I thought to myself. If only I knew that on December 25th a nightmare would always follow…
Vallen: "describe it to me again. What did the man look like?"
Random man1: "He was around 6 feet tall, with medium brown and white hair"
"And the girl?"
Random man2: "She was… ̷̸̖̫̱̓͝s̸̼͑ʞ̵͎̕ɐ̵̖̇ǝ̸̞̓ɹ̸̫͛ʇ̷̡̈́s̴̗̈́ ̶͚̊ǔ̷̙ǝ̴̞͝p̸͈̔ן̷̱̾ŏ̶͇b̶̼͝ ̴͚̈́ṕ̵̜ŭ̶͚ɐ̸̢̓ ̷̗̋ɹ̴̼̕ı̷̘̂ɐ̵̼̍ɥ̶͉͋ ̵̨̃u̷̢͒ʍ̶̞̃ȏ̴͎ɹ̸̠̒q̴̥̑ ̷͈̉'̶̡̛ן̵͕̚ן̷̗̐ɐ̷͇̓ʇ̴̯͂ ̷͚̚ʇ̷̢̑ǝ̶͓̉ǝ̴̡̓ɟ̶̟͝ ̸̘̋3̵͎̕ ̷̔ͅp̶̲͛ǘ̶͙n̶̲̂ȯ̷͚ɹ̵̰̈́ɐ"
"Good…"
For the next 3 months Dayson was like the family I wanted but never had. He showed me how beautiful nature is and how wonderful the smiles of other people can be. We went sightseeing almost everyday, yet he still showed me housing skills like cooking, cleaning and gardening, even though I couldn't get down to garden. Throughout this short time Dayson took on the roles of everything a child would need to grow to become big and strong. Being my teacher, and my doctor, my gardien, and my mother, he was such a reliable person that I wouldn't know what to do without him. He taught me how to cope with those pains in my soul, and how to talk with them. He told me that for me to use them I'll have to achieve things such as accomplishments like earning their trust or right to use them, the stronger they are the harder it gets. And so far, I've only learned the names of a handful of them.
Steamy: "Dayson"
"Hm?"
"I wanted to ask you something. So Can I?"
"Sure go ahead, but before that I'd like you to get washed up first. So, ask me over dinner, okay?"
"Okay!"
"Start of a memory"
I remember the time when dayson first took me to wash up. I could see his flustered face when telling me what washing up was. The embarrassment he went through telling me that was quite amusing to me, and teasing him about it whenever I got the chance was also fun.
"Are you in the bathtub now?"
Yes, Dayson you can come in.
"Just remember I'm not a perv or anything like that, I'm just here to show and explain to you what it means to wash up. So-"
It's fine, just act like your normal self.
"Okay"
He taught me how to wash my hair and how to do this or do that before analyzing what all of my scars and caps are.
"What are These!?!?""
Oh those? I don't really like talking about this stuff. You see, I'm not really body positive about myself. But if you want me to let you, I could."
"Yes, please tell me."
I begane telling him what every scar, and every nook on my body was from. I told him that the capsules on my body were like power-receivers, basically like how a charger plugs into an outlet and the outlet sends electricity to your device. I told him how my body was like a power plant and showed him my most vulnerable parts of me.
Since you probably didn't know I am a "man made weapon." This is my core, my life force, and my energy, without it, my body would become unstable and I could rip apart. And this thing here is a va-
"Okay that's enough. I… I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. You don't have to tell me anymore, kay."
Again with that disgusting feeling, the feeling of disgust, but also pity and sorrow, it wasn't like how the workers at fathers lab treated me, no not at all, instead of a negative feeling that repelled me it was a welcoming feeling that upheld me, but still coming from the same emotion it was weird.
If it's you, I'd be fine telling you anything. But okay…
"End of memory"
"I'd better start getting out of the shower. Don't want to be wasting too much water hahaha."
I wanted to ask him to be my adopted father, I mean, what human wouldn't want to be adopted by such a great person? So as I came ready for dinner I noticed no one was there. A note, left there on the table reading:
400: "Left to go get groceries, 'stay put' till I come back. Love Dayson"
Thank you Eyeball. But still, it's "Weird" I thought. Dayson isn't one to leave notes around to tell people things, instead, he'd go tell the person, in person. "So Weird!" I thought again Dayson never leaves his coffee cup filled with coffee, as he likes to strike it while it's hot. And with the house being so quiet you'd think there'd be a jumpscare bound to happen, but nothing did.
2-35: "Human b̷e̷h̴i̴n̵d̶ ̵y̴o̷u̷!̸"
"Sound of an dart flying through"
"Behind me!" Quickly I jumped out from my wheelchair, hitting my back on the floor. Hearing the dark figure standing a few feet behind me, there. "Who are you?" I asked them. "Me?" He answered, "I'm your worst nightmare…" Before I could do anything I blacked out, and I woke up tied down to a chair with Dayson, who was hanged by his hands right in front of me.
Dayson! Are you okay? Can you hear me?
Some person: "Oh you shouldn't be worrying about him 5-37, instead.
"Vallen walks in"
Some person: "You should be worrying about yourself" "Evil Laughter"
Vallen: "Quiet down T-09."
"This isn't what you Promised!" Dayson said panting from exhaustion.
"Oh but I didn't promise anything. Did I? Last time I checked it was Sow that promised you something. Right?" He said turning back at me with an evil grin.
What do you mean? Dayson! What does he Mean!?! "I asked feverishly, shaking the chair I was tied down to."
"Seems like he didn't tell…" Father said giggling out of control. "So let me enlighten you on this case. Around 3 months ago two little ants found some fresh new prey, freshly sitting there like an open book in the sun. Dayson here, not wanting his little cub to be eaten, formed a deal with my good friend Sow, the deal applied to let him keep his little cub in exchange for the information that that cub gave him. The only problem was the queen of that ant hill didn't really agree with what was going on. So they killed the princess ant and headed to devour the little cub as its mama could only help but enjoy! In other words, this is all Dayson Ven Solitude's fault! AHAHAAH!"
"Dayson Ven Solitude" I thought to myself, He's My Brother!
"Yes, he's your brother. Now you might want to grit your teeth for this one," "as of now… we have no container" He said in an ever flowing low pitched voice, grabbing a necklace off a very bloodied table.
No.. NOO!! PLESE NOT AGAIN!! I yelled, tears started to fall down my face as I struggled to get out of this chair.
"This is a sub-artifact I call the nen charger. It charges one's n-cells to full capacity! But if held for too long could overload a person making them explode." Evil laughter, "So here, as a late birthday present to my most powerful abomination good night, and sleep tight. A-AHAHAH!!"
Like my father said it would do, it charged up my n-cells to full capacity, but little by little, pain started forming from my core. "It hurts but it's bearable pain" I said to myself, nothing I haven't experienced before. I was more worried about Dayson, if he got hurt anymore than he already had, I don't know what I would've done. "Father, please don't hurt Dayson, You want me don't you? So please!" I called out to him. "Spare him."
"Spare him? I shall, but you my beautiful creation must be made anew."
"So with that. He must die" "Bone apple teeth"
"father please"
"It's not worth it Steamy! He's not the man he used to be. So just leave me and go."
"L̸e̵a̴v̸e̶ ̵m̵e̸" "G̷̣͒O̴̼͒" "L̸̨̀E̸̙̒Ą̵͛V̵̙̔È̷͎ ̸̝̄M̶̖̚Ȇ̸̼" "G̸̟̔̌Ô̷̰̅̄" My body wouldn't stop trembling, "R̴u̷n̷ ̵A̸w̷a̵y̴" Father! "F̸̛̦̞͝a̴̛̰t̸͉̒͗h̴̠̣̄͑̑e̵͙̱͝r̶̭̥̟͐̅͠" "R̴̻̃u̵̲͊̽ṉ̷̑̔ ̵͉̜̓̈À̸̞w̸͔͉̆̚ȃ̸͈͍ỳ̸̧" "f̶a̸t̷h̵e̷r̵" Why am I always stricken by misfortune? "L̸̳͗̅ē̵͉ā̶̬v̷̢̻͝e̷̯͈̅,̴̝̝͋͗ ̸͔́̑S̴̜̒a̷̲̾͊v̴̬̹͒͠e̸̥̿͐ ̶́͜Y̸̞̦̚͝o̵̢̭͒̄ǘ̵̦͉r̷̡̂s̶̫̅ẻ̸͙̟l̵͈̕͜͠ḟ̴̟̀"
Why Must I Suffer! "T̸o̴ ̵S̵u̴c̸c̷u̶m̵b̵ ̵t̵o̷ ̸y̷o̸u̵r̸ ̷w̴i̸l̴l̵ ̸a̴n̷d̶ ̸L̶i̵v̸e̵" Why Must This Pain Never End? "T̴o̷ S̸h̵o̶w̵ ̵h̵i̷m̶ ̵y̸o̵u̴r̴ ̶p̸o̶w̴e̸r̸" HOW DO I COPE WITH THIS? "L̶I̴V̶E̴ ̷F̶r̶e̵e̷l̷y̵" "Y̵o̸u̴ ̵w̸o̴n̴'̴t̸ ̸S̶o̷ ̸S̴l̷e̴e̵p̷ ̶C̷h̷i̸l̴d̵." I… WILL- Sleep, now…
Although my eyes laided dormant, my soul wade wide awake. "At last I was free, free from the torment, and the traumma, free from the voices of everything else, I was free from my father at last." But my brother, who was still knotted down by my father, wasn't. "Please, oh please save my brother. I call one of you Artifacts of my soul. Let Me Your Strength!"
005: "With pleasure" My body started compulsing the moment it agreed and with a sudden rage of power 005 took over.
005: "The Suffering this child has held, fulfilled the necessities to use code-number: 005:" Hello Warden, I am 005, Giving you the power of 'Hell Breaker.' But for this excessive amount of usage you must Rest Child,"
No, Please! Eyeball please see for me….
