Most people thought that your life would flash before your eyes, while you fell to your death but nothing of the sort happened for me, not this time or last.
the moon was above me, it felt as if I was floating I guess that would be my heart beating so fast, but no I was actually slowing down, something was slowing me down, then in my head something spoke 'can you hear me, child?' someone was speaking in my head "Yes I can hear you"my voice was echoing off the cliff wall 'No need to yell Ezra' I needed to find whoever this was if they knew about my past life then maybe they knew how to get me home 'I don't know your past, this is just the name that sits in you subconsciousness, so I assumed it to be your name' I was set down lightly 'you arent a vampire or anything right?' "NO" I yelled 'no need to yell, child, if you walk along the cliff you should find a crack and enter it... ill be waiting' I slowly walked back to the cliffs wall "Left Or Right" this person seemed to be getting frustrated 'Right' I slowly began to limp towards the right, there were massive trees to the left of me but next to the cliffs wall there was nothing, the sound of crickets and cicadas sounded through the forest, and the moon illuminated the way for me.
There were some clings and clangs above me, likely a fight 'yes Child there is a fight above you, those roads are constantly patrolled by bandits' I let my hand run across the wall, it was jagged but there were some smooth spots likely from erosion.
the moon was behind a tree, so I was in the dark when a small orb appeared in front of me 'you are almost to the entrance child' I could see but that also meant that any creature could see me, the wind began to pick up, my tattered shirt wasn't going to protect me from any wind or the elements I found a small crack in the wall 'It will be just in front of you' it seemed excited in terms of its tone.
i found the entrance and climbed through, it was dust-covered and spider-web-filled, I crawled through, rocks embedding themselves in my knees, eventually, I fell through a hole, into some water "Let me help you, child" something grabbed me and brought me onto some land "What are you" I said while my teeth chattered, it pointed one of its claws forward and a small fire started "Im a Hybrid" it waved its hand, telling me to not look into it "Whyd you save me?" it laid down "Because I need something to do, now my turn for questions, whats your name" I sat by the fire, as my stomach grumbled "Im Ezra, DO you have anything to eat?" it groaned "No Last Name, and the glowing moss is edible" it scraped some off the ground and set it in front of me "I wont take a last name" the ground above us shook "Dont worry just a small earthquake" the air down here smelled of mildew "So how do I leave" the creature sat up and nodded "it'll take me sometime to make a teleport spell for you, but is there family you know of, hopefully nearby" I shook my head "Dont send me to any family, they don't like me for what I am" the creature was looking directly at me "We are in this cave for the same reason then" my clothes weren't drying, so I took my shirt off and set it by the fire "Did you family, by chance inflict those wounds?" I nodded "that is unfortunate" his eyes turned from white to Black "Impresive I see you already awakened your mana core, do you know if you are a deviant or not?" I shook my head he sighed, steam coming out his nose "whats a deviant" he shook his head "I need to sleep, sorry that I cant explain" I nodded and layed down next to the fire, I drifted off.
