The Role of Mages

DarkFate

Chapter 4 

What happened on that day? Was I suppose to die? But, where am I now? I look around and see that I'm in a dark space with nothing around me. I take one step and I hear my step echo through the space.

" So...am I alive?" I walk around, hearing nothing but my footsteps and seeing nothing but darkness. I shiver as I feel the temperature drop dramatically in the next few minutes.
" How come it's cold in here?" I continue to shiver.

After another few minutes, the temperature rises.
" The temperature increased but,.. it feels comfortable.." 

I continue to walk for a while, still finding nothing but darkness.
How large is this dark space?
Just when I asked myself that question, I see a...mirror?
I walk up to the mirror and see my reflection.
"...wait....what?..." I say softly.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The mirror shows that I now have blood red eyes, white as snow hair, and snake like tattoos on my cheeks.
"....what?.... What?!?" 

Is this...me?

I touch my face and look at my hand. I look back at my reflection and catch a glimpse of my bare shoulder.
" A...scar?" 

I take off my shirt and see a slash mark on me from my right shoulder down to the left side of my stomach, leaving a scar. And a bullet wound on my side.
My eyes widen in confusion and fear. Memories start to flash through my mind and I fall to my knees.

"...stop....Stop....STOP!" I put my hands on my head. 

More memories flash through my head and fall down.

"...help..." I say in a weak voice as the memories flow through my head, causing a horrible headache.

" Don't resist." I hear a low voice say.

" What?"

" Don't resist. It'll hurt more if you do. Let them flow through your mind. It'll be faster."  

"..o-ok." I put my hands off my head and sit up. I cross my legs and close my eyes. 
Memories flow through my head again.

".. My heads gonna split open if I keep this up,.. But it'll be over soon." I mutter as I grip onto my pant leg.

My open shoot open and I nearly jump off the bed. I take deep breaths as I look around, my heart about ready to explode out of my chest.
I calm down as I look around to see that I'm in a room by myself.

" This...is...a..pretty nice...room..." I manage to say, in between breaths.

I sigh. I see a chair next to the bed, with a stack of clothes and a note. I grab the note and read it.

" You're most likely very confused right now, but it's ok. I'd like to talk to you but I might be away and I wouldn't know when you would've woken up. The stack of clothes is for you. DO NOT remove the bandages! Feel free to explore our home. You are a Soulman now and your name is Kyoto DarkFate, son of Wolfbane. If you have questions,ask anyone in the building. Welcome to Isingar. - Celiest"

" Strange name..." I mutter.

I look down and I see that almost my entire torso is covered in gauze and my side has a patch on it.

" Oh I wonder why..." I think to myself, sarcastically.
I get out of the bed and change into the clothes that are on the chair.
I change into a dark grey shirt with ripped off sleeves, dark grey pants and brown boots that go up to my knees. 

" They're comfortable.." I think to myself.

I walk out of the room and hear faint voices.

" What? Oh there's a room not far from here!" I think to myself.
