Dreams Come True Always

Eridan's Tales (Told by Me, your author.)

You was a young wriggler at the time. You were well known for your famous "being alone" situations and excluding yourself from the group. I began to think that maybe this is how life would always be. You never understood why the other wrigglers would leave me by myself, but maybe it was the way you were. Nobody would understand how it felt to always be alone...

As we all grew older, everyone stared to become who they were meant to be. You just never realized it back then. "You are 20 annoyiing ED. why cant you giive iit up already and actually lii2ten two our 2ugge2tiion2 for one miinute?" Sollux barks at you, glaring at you. "Not evveryone is the same Sol. Not like i actually wwant to do wwhat you havve to say." You reply. "Well your way at liife 2TIINK2." He says, walking away with hatred burning on his face. You hated the guy for always bothering you about your science experiments, or how you always didn't want to fit in. You always told him that not everyone was the same and you didn't want to be like everyone else. You wanted to be real! Have an actual life that was worth living! You wanted to be Eridan Ampora and be proud with yourself. You want to one day remember all the rebellious things growing up. But at what rate you were currently at, you thought your dreams could never become achieveable.

"ERIDAN, WHY ARE YOU PLANNING TO BLOW UP THE MOON?" Karkat asks. "Because it wwould provve that i am strong and can actually accomplish thin's Kar." You reply. "OKAY BUT DONT YOU THINK JUST ABOUT *ANYONE* CAN DO THAT?" He says, doubting your abilities. "Wwhatevver Kar. im still goin' to try anywways." You say, lighting yor rocket and watching it take flight into the night sky. It makes contact with a nearby star and blows it up. "YOU ARE SUCH A DISGRACE ERIDAN." Karkat says, walking away from you. "HOPE YOU HAVE FUN IN THE SILENCE OF YOUR OWN THOUGHTS." He shouts, trying to upset you. You instantly ignore his rude comment and start a fire in your firepit. It was the only way you kept your sanity. It was the only thing that made you smile anymore. "W)(atcha doing t)(--er--e -Eridan?" Feferi, your crush asks. "Oh. Wwell i just wwanted to burn stuff...." You say, looking at her with sorrow in your eyes. "It'll be okay --Eridan!" She says, hugging your body tight. "T-thanks fef..." You say, trying to smile, indictcating it's time for her to leave. She gladly smiles at your gesture, and walks away, giggling a little as she walks away.

As your sixth sweep was arriving, you overheard a conversation between Karkat and Feferi.
"I THINK ITS CRAZY HOW HE IS STILL HERE AND ALIVE. IM SURPRISED THAT HE HASNT GIVEN UP ON LIFE YET LIKE OTHERS." Karkat says. "You know )(--es trying r--e--ely )(ard to )(ang in t)(--er--e Karkat. I )(av-e b--e--en t)(-er-e for
)(im t)(is w)(ol-e tim-e, unlike you and t)(-e ot)(-ers w)(o torm--ent )(im!!!!" She shouts, glaring at him. "BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD-" He says before she slaps him. "IF YOU ACTUALLY CAR-ED FOR )(IM, MAYB--E YOUD S-EA T)(AT )(E IS STILL FIGH)(TING, FIG)(TING )(ARD-ER T)(AN US ALL!" She shouts, running away with tears in her eyes. You had never seen the royal blooded troll ever cry before your own eyes. You chase after her, trying to calm her down before the usual bully shows up. "Oh look what we have here. ii diidnt thiink that you would actually hurt ff ed." He says, grinning wide and glaring at you. "I didnt do it Sol. I swwear." You say, looking at Feferi, the girl of your dreams. "Oh really? then why ii2 2he cryiing? And what are you 2weariing on?" He says, looking down at Feferi.
"I swwear on that you all wwill one day apreciate me actually being around." You say, walking away before something knocks you out cold. "haha not thii2 tiime ampora." He snickers, and laughs. You hear Feferi shouting in the background before everything becomes silent and black...

You wake up on a strange planet, inhabitated by angels. It looks like a castle almost and you see Ahab's Crosshairs lying against a column. You pick it up and shoot a harpoon into the sky, watching it fly across the sky and "into your heart", as you put it into your own words. You had finally given up on life, and began to self harm yourself on your planet. You knew the angels were watching, but what were they going to do to save you from yourself. You blew up hope in everything, no matter the situation. You lost hope in yourself, and started to kill the angels. They had never been there for you anyways, so what would harming them do anyways? Haha, you thought nothing but the longer you would have to stay...

"Wwhy am I stuck here anwways? All it seems to be doin' is pushin' me towwards my death. Wwhy is life so cruel? Maybe I should've listened to evveryone wwhen they gavve me the option to fit in. Wwhy does it alwways end up wwith the best people alwways gettin' hurt the most?" You ask out loud. "Maybe it's because you aren't good Eridan, at all." An angel says. "You constantly kill our kind for no reason." It continues to say. "Maybe I wwouldn't kill you all if you didn't leavve me in the dark all the time. Maybe I wwouldn't havve to if I actually felt I wwas created for importance." You reply, tears welling in your eyes. "Eridan, everyone was created for a purpose. Your's is just more complex than others. You have great importance and if you don't kill me, maybe I can show you." The angel says, smiling at you. She was the first angel to know you, but not fear you. "Fine. I wwont kill you, but you havve to showw me wwhat my purpose is." You say, smiling and wiping the tears out of your eyes. "Okay!" She says cheerfully, holding her hands out for you to take. You take her hands and time stops infront of you. "A long time, you were born for greatness. You were to be different from the rest and not fully be understood by everyone. You would never actually want to be this way but you were and that's made you special from the rest. You were soon to meet an angel who would understand how it felt to be left alone in the world, hated by everyone. We both understood how it felt to be brilliant. We both knew how it felt to be hated on in society. Believe me, in my past life, everyone hated me. They hated that I was nerdy, the hated that I was smart. They hated everything about me and I did what you have been trying to do for months now. Nobody back on Alternia knows that you are even still alive here. They all hate you so very much. Believe me, you don't want to leave this place and go back there. You would literally kill yourself then Eridan. I hated society too when I was younger and a troll. Life isn't easy for the magenta bloods, is it Eridan?" She says, smiling at you. You look at her like she's been by your side this whole time. "Y-you wwere like me?" You ask. "Yes I was... It was hard, believe me and I gave up. Don't go around killing anymore angels... Please... I'm here for you now and you leaving would be bad.... Please, I have nobody else on this planet to smile for anyways..." She says, frowning a little bit. "Hey Aquila, why the hell do you talk with HIM?" An angel says, glaring at you. "So wwhat if she talks to me?" You ask, trying to be rebellious. "She will get killed sooner or later." He says, rolling his eyes. (Aquila is my OC btw. Just using her name in this.) "Okay, but all of you HATE me anyways. So what's not to lose a tthis point?" She says, glaring at her angel friend. "We tried to raise you well and you turned out rebellious, rude, unkind and fake like HIM." He shouts, pointing at you. You shoot him with Ahab's Crosshairs and watch his guts bleed out. You frown at the sight and fall asleep, dreaming of what's next...

Nobody would understand how it felt to be alone, besides Aquila. Even though you recently met her, you weren't sure if she was lying to keep you around. But only she knew how it felt to be alone as well. You two would never see each other again, but you knew she had seen Hell with her very own eyes as well....
