(Author Note: Test Chapter! Tell me what you liked, what you hated, what I got wrong, if you liked the story, etc

This is just a test chapter that may get slightly rewritten or kept the same. Give me ideas for how I put notes in the chapters also, I feel like they are be distracting. It just say you liked the story, that works.

Might get taken down after a while.

Update: Gonna keep it up just remembered that comments are removed when a story is unpublished)

Gone, everything is just gone. Just like that, All I've ever known. I don't really know what happened, neither why nor how. I saw black feathers litter the ashes of broken houses, yet not a trace of a bird or a person anywhere in sight. My mother, father, friends, all no where to be seen. I was lucky, my father made me hide underneath our house hours prior almost as if he knew what was to transpire later on. It was covered with strange circles that I had no clue what was on them, but they kept me safe. I traveled our neighbourhood in search of anything really. I was hungry. Nothing for miles around I suppose. I should head back, perhaps he left something down in the basement?

It took an hour or two to find and enter it, with the foundation of the upper house shattered and broken. The smell, the metallic smell of blood clogged my senses. I should not think much of it, if I don't want it to catch up to me. The thoughts that is. I entered the basement, once again met with something complete unharmed and untouched. I stayed down here hugging my face to my knees crying for a long time. At least until all the sounds went away. I looked throughout the empty space, it had papers stuck to the wall. All of them containing those glowing circles. Strangely comforting.

I need to find something, someone, just anything. Not just voices in my head. "That voice must have just been my imagination."

"I am no figment of your imagination, master."

That voice means I'm going insane. That's what an insane person has.. I think. It was a deep voice that terrified me hours ago, perhaps I've rationalized it since then. Though it did calm me down enough to speak to it, but fear I'll descend even more into my mind. It appeared after I did something to the floor, the floor had a massive circle on it, unlike the smaller ones that decorated the walls. I don't know what I did, I remember banging on the door wanting to be let out, then standing in the middle trying to figure out if it was a key of sorts. My father once tried to teach me about something called mana, I didn't really get the concept, but I attempted to use it. Then a bright glow and I was promptly knocked unconscious.

Still in the end there is nothing here, not even a note, absolutely nothing. Perhaps dying here would be a blessing. Better than whatever happened outside I imagine. I felt my breathing slow and tears fall down my face. Do not think about it. Do not dwell on it. I should take one more look around, then maybe try and find a road to take to another town. Yes, that is what mother would say... Mother..

So I did. I dried my eyes, and laid on the floor next to the door. Be alert for noises, but honestly I don't really know how. I'm a heavy sleeper. I brought my hand up towards the ceiling starting at it. I was covered in small bruises and cuts, getting in and out of here was not fun. I'm quite tired, perhaps I should converse with that voice. I'm lonely, even if it's just talking to myself. It should be fine.

"Ready to talk huh? I've been trying to say something to you for a while now." The voice was much nicer to listen to this time, being a lot softer. I don't think anything can beat my mothers lullaby voice though. "Mhm. What's your name? I'm.. Well I suppose I have no need to tell myself my name but it's Ritsuka Fujimaru."
