What would you do if you woke up, not able to remember anything, in a brand new world?
As Ayase's eyes widen, and the darkness from her eye lids, turned into a blurry canvas filled with various different bright colours blessing her eyes, she suddenly a-woke.
"I want to be free like a bird."
She said, but it was only when the crow above her, with beaming red eyes called out.. something? Is when Ayase truly woke up.
"Huh? What did I just say?" Ayase seemed confused, as she looked up at the crow that suddenly flew out of frame, she looked around at the scenery, full of dancing trees and bushes, fresh, juicy red berries, and a subtle gust of wind that whistles through the trees, did she then realise "where am I?"
She questioned herself, and wanting to know more, she tried her hardest to think about how she might have ended up here, but it was blank.
Not only was the memory of how she got to where she was, was blank, but also everything else.
"Who am I?"
" What age am I?"
"What do I look like?"
But nothing.
No matter how hard she thought, everything was blank.
The only thing she could remember, is the mysterious crow, that shocked her into consciousness.
While she can't remember a single thing, she managed to stand up, and take a step, as well as that, she can also speak clearly, these are all things humans do without thinking. Quite strange for someone who has the memory of a newborn baby.
Ayase, although confused, has the bravery of a lion, and steps into the unknown, like a toddler gaining consciousness, she steps foot into the forest in front of her.
Birds chirp, Ayase jumping at every noise that she can hear, treads on foot, each step making a new memory to fill up the blank canvas that is her mind.
Two hours go by, Ayase, unaware of how to preserve energy, has almost collapsed on the floor, from all the constant walking, although she is conscious, she is still clueless on how fit she was, or how her body works, all she new was how to talk, how to walk, and how to stand, so that's what she did.
After hours of walking, she eventually found a pond, full of moss, various different lilly pads, which made ripples in the water, as frogs leaped from lilly pad to lilly pad, Ayase, curious of the pond, looked inside it, there she only saw her self in the reflection, in the reflection she saw her frail body, which seemed to be around 5,4, and roughed up light pink hair, which, although dirty, glistened in the almost clear pond.
While looking at the sight Infront of her, a figure next to her appeared in the reflection of the pond right next to her, but Ayase, who was in too much shock to realise, almost jumped into the pond, after hearing the mysterious figures voice say her name.
"Ayase." The person said, with a calm, but yet charming voice.
"W-who are you? And who is Ayase?" Ayase said, slowly backing away from the mysterious person, before tripping on her foot, and falling onto her back, "AH!"
screamed Ayase, but, before she could process what had happened, the mystery person said calmly "why, you're Ayase!"
"W-what are you talking about? M-my names not Ayase! It's.. i-its..." Ayase goes silent.
"My, my, can't you read?"
Says the mystery person "it says it right there on your name tag."
"My what?"
The person then points to her raggid, white top, which the person was also wearing.
Ayase looks down, and sees that she had some sort of name tag on her shirt "a-ayase.. so that's my name.."
she then looks up to the mysterious person, and, for the first time ever.. she sees another humans face, right?
Infront of her stood a 5,5, male with sleek very light blue hair, matched with a calm, and collective face, "Carl.." ayase says.
"Oh, so you can read then! How come you didn't know your name then?" The person says, who is now revealed to be a teenager called Carl.
"I-im not sure.."
says Ayase "guess I never thought of looking at my shirt.."
"that's alright!"
Says the calm, and collected Carl.
"You must be new around hear."
He says.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Well, new to this world of course! Let me guess, you have only just woken up, with your memory lost, an-"
he pauses "wait, wait im getting ahead of my self, ofcourse your not new to this world, you can speak, and walk!"
"What are you talking about?" Ayase says, confused.
"well, normally, when you first wake up in this world you can't talk, nor can you walk your just a helpless little baby." Says Carl
"But yet, that wouldn't describe why you are so confused.. if you can read, how come you never thought to check your name tag? And who taught you to do so?" Says Carl, confused.
"Sorry, I'm not sure what your talking about? The second I woke up, I was able to do everything you just listed?" Says ayase
Carl seems to freeze for a moment, his expression rapidly turning from calm and collected, to schocked and confused, with a hint of.. frustration?
"Well, that can't be possible?" Says Carl.
"Everyone who enters this world should remember nothing.. including the basic human functions that we perform everyday.."
"Why isn't this fascinating?"
"It seems like your different from the rest."
Carl reaches his hand Infront of Ayase.
"C'mon. I'll help you up." Says Carl, who is back to his usual calm, and collected self.
"Thank you."
Says Ayase, before getting up, with the assistance of Carl.
As she gets up, there eyes meet for the first time, Ayase's light pink eyes, and Carl's light blue eyes almost seem to mix, as they glance at eachother, Ayase for the first time seems to have painted a different kind of picture in her mind.
Not one of confusion, but this time, one of happiness.
"C'mon, I'll take you to our safe place." Says Carl.
"Safe place?"
"Our?"
Says Ayase.
"Oh, it seems I have forgotten to mention some pretty important things, huh?
"Well, don't worry, I'll tell you everything once we get there."
"Now, we better get going, that's if you can walk, after all you look exhausted."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine."
Says Ayase, although it's clear she is lying through her teeth, Carl still goes along with it.
"Don't worry, luckily the safe house is close by, as i was only taking a morning stroll, before i found you." Says carl, while leading Ayase to his safe house.
