Unbound

Prologue

"What is this... feeling? my head feels heavy." Akira said, floating into an infinite void of nothingness.

No ray of light, no road guiding him to his supposed path, leaving him stranded and powerless, as if he were a feather in a raging storm. The sensation of falling with no where to go was quickly disrupted by the sound of metal hitting against its self. As he looks down he has no time to react as he gets his limbs caught up in chains as if it was the feeling of a predator biting into it's prey.

'not a feeling I'd recommend to anyone, though I should say it's quite fascinat-' Akira thought to himself, for a reason that he doesn't know of, unfortunately the terror doesn't end there for him.

He gets pulled down in an instant and is pulled for what feels like an eternity, the grip gets stronger the more he struggles, he falls deeper into the void until his attention shifts to the distant street. He breaks free from his own feeling of distress leaving him free once again, he lands calmly onto the road and picks himself up, as he analyzes his surroundings he hears the sound of terrorizing screams, he calls out but his voice is unheard. Swiftly changing his stance and using the ground as boost while he dashes ahead, though his efforts were futile as the sound of screaming vanishes with it's origin, he stops to catch his breath and he later moves towards the house.

The voices get clearer in his head and he's able to fully grasp the whole situation. Though the words he heard weren't as joyful as he had previously expected.

"They're catching up, you two should go up ahead I'll find you later." The woman said to two younger boys around the same age, Leaving Akira questioning what had just happened.

Though he does not have much time, he connects all the pieces with ease, understanding and remembering, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth and the feeling of familiarity.

"What a wonderful timeline must I say, though it is getting boring considering this isn't the first time is it" Akira whispered locking his arms in and watching as chaos comes and goes.

The two younger boys then look at Akira, with their eyes piercing into him with what's seen as an intent to kill, though he is unfazed he finds more interest in what may happen after. As he watches them he finds no trace of the woman, or so he thought as he feels a force gripping his right shoulder, leaving him startled as he looks back and finds her.

"I thought you loved me... as your own aunt, but you've left no ties to any of us, how selfish could you get." The woman said to Akira, unfortunately her efforts were in vain as he laughs continuously, removing her hand off of his shoulder and walking towards the younger boys.

"oh look at you so wonderful, so bright, though that's what you'd think but I'm unfortunately only talking about you.... Suruyo." Akira said with a louder voice, leaving him heard by everyone. "oh come on don't you miss me, or do you share thoughts with our aunt like you always have?" He continued, smirking and gesturing with his hands.

"I did the right thing, didn't I...." The other boy said, leaving Akira with a proud expression.

"If it isn't me, well, less developed me but that's not what we're talking about, and your answer is yes, though I don't see why you have that shocked expression on your face, wipe it off will ya-" Akira muttered proudly until he notices Suruyo's expression had changed.
