Retrouvailles

Prologue

It's dark. It's quiet. It's cold. It's empty. You felt like you were falling, but at the same time, you felt like you were floating. For how dark it was, you considered yourself that you may have been blind, but that theory goes to waste as you look into the vast void. There, you see several empty souls with no color, no spirit, no body. Their glass transparent heart shape only remains as they lay still, not making any movement. Curiosity getting the best of you, you touch one of them, only to shatter the soul upon contact. Glass shards flew everywhere, some coming in contact with the other souls, which only lead to more breaking. You looked around, the sound of shattering glass filling your head, it feels as if it were in a loop. Covering your ears, you try to break out the noise, but it is futile as the loop only keeps going, the sound growing louder as the glass shards then fall like heavy rain. You open your mouth to scream, but it was no use as the sound grew louder. At this point, it's starting to sound like a static TV, growing louder by the second.

As if the angels had listened, the sound had completely stopped. You opened your eyes, previously having them closed as to not damage them, only to be met with six remaining souls. This time, they had color, they had life, they had a body to belong to. But having a nagging feeling inside, and with the appearance of how they are, you felt something wasn't right. As lively as they were, the dullness surrounding them was noticeable, along with the miniature cracks that some contained, spreading as if they were a spider's web. One was light blue, one was a slight dark purple, one was sea green, one was silver-grey, one was forest green, and the last was dark orange. Your soul was then brought out, its indigo color glowing brightly. CURIOSITY. With this, the other six souls seemed to have moved away from your own, as if they were afraid of the new presence that has entered. It was all still, all silent until you decided on your own. You checked the souls, might as well get to know what traits they hold and why they are like this.

*Lost souls with no home to live in. You hear the sound of bickering, laughter, crying. Their hatred drives them. You're next.

The words "You're next" bring you into a frenzy of confusion, fear, even a bit of curiosity. It could mean anything, next in line to be like them, next to experience a weird dream that you'll never see again, next to-

You yell in agony as your soul had been hit, kneeling to the ground as if there was a floor the whole time. You wheezed as you clenched your hand, the feeling of pressure all around you as you tried to regain your breath. Usually, you'd get into fights and cause yourself some damage, but never have you experienced such indescribable pain as this. It was as if your heart will explode any minute, along with your soul. You looked up to find the six corrupted souls being the masterminds of such damage. Grimacing in pain, you stood up and stepped forward to confront the souls. As much as you want to believe this is all a dream, the pain felt real, the unknowing breeze felt real, the presence of these so-called "Lost Souls" is real. With all your might, you called out for help, hoping that some knight in shining armor might rescue you from this nightmare. Unfortunately for you, nobody came, because who in the world would come to save a useless, pathetic person whose selfishness only rises more as they keep on living? The sound of static TV starts to rise again as the souls circle your own. You hear voices of curses and insults thrown at you as you covered your ears, wanting this mental and physical pain to stop. Unfortunately, your luck has run out as the souls close in on you, and one by one, you can hear their agony as they attack you.
