Karl woke up again back to the shadowy abyss , this time he was in the silk ugly pajamas. "This is the second time this happened..." Karl wondered what was going on . The first time can be chalked off as a weird dream but the second time made him ask questions . Everything is as pitch black as it gets; the only light he can see was from his phone . "Ah shit here we go again...." He rolled his eyes, grabbing his phone. Still so many questions went through his head...he had to scroll again. "Choose a memory " The force echoed in his head . Sweat poured from his forehead not understanding if this mysterious voice was a real entity or all in his head . He closed his eyes feeling a cold chill down the spine. The temperature got colder and colder . Black feathers ruffling and shivering , frosty breath poured out of Karl's mouth as he slid down from nowhere. He opened his eyes again his phone showing light, Karl took his phone, his arms shivering from the cold .

He unopened it but this time Karl was more aware of his surroundings. He ignored memories checking on other apps. "Was this part of my brain? My subconscious? " he wondered checking on "Customizations " . There the god saw multiple different types of wallpapers and aesthetics. The first one Karl pressed turned the abysmal scenery into a pink bubble scene. Karl sat on a glowing white cube while his environment went from darkness to light pink bubbles . "Wow..." Karl was surprised to see each bubble contain purple shading.Karl pressed on a blank theme using the bundles of grass to comb over the ground creating a green pasture then changed the sky from pink to blue with clouds. Within a few presses water flowed from the stream in front of him . "So pretty " Karl ran through the field adding multiple brown rabbits throughout the simulation. During the run he tripped accidentally pressing on a memory. Everything around Karl's faded to another simulation right in front of him . Karl opened his eyes again as he realized he was in a circus. The smell of old sticky popcorn brought back good memories. "Right ...i remember this ..." Karl floated through the dark hallways. The hallways looked very similar to one at the theaters covering themselves up in various posters . One of them caught Karls attention for a moment. His fingers slid through the poster examining it even further. The luxurious old drawing was from an event that happened nearly 8 years ago . Back when life was simpler and Karl was a simple student working on odd jobs for his university instead of being a "freak " with a broken horn
On the decorative poster is a drawing of him holding a young lady.
The young lady he was holding had curly brown hair that bounced off her shoulders . Her clothes were a light two piece brown color with white stockings that matched with a sparkly cloud like translucent bow that matched with the light on her . Karl wore an exaggerated red suit with a flaming top hat , the two on the poster were deeply close to each other like star-crossed lovers holding after drifting apart. The Karl on the poster showed off a fanged smile showing a thin silver retainer that hugged his teeth . The native viennese recalled wearing those a while back just like his father wire braces once in his youth. According to his uncle, Kaspar once wore " The ugliest green braces he had ever seen " before he turned 20 . The more Karl thought about it the more he realizes he takes a lot from his father . Karl went back on his phone scrolling through the memories he has until he pressed the right option . A bright aura engulfed him until he flashed to another flashback back .He stood in front of himself writing in a book using an ink feather pen carefully writing down notes . Another familiar scent hit his nose, he turned around seeing the lady from the poster earlier holding a smoothed drink and straw . "Oh you're here Izabella " Karl saw her "What are you doing up so late the show isn't until tomorrow " . "I came here to give you a blended drink because I know you can't exactly chew yet " Iza gave it to him . Karl pulled out his retainers happily drinking from the straw ."Is this ..rabbit stew ..." his eyes glistened . Iza confirmed it while Karl sucked it up like a vampire. Once he finished he put his retainers back on and continued the chat. Karl stopped tapping on his pen staring at Izabela, "Do you ..do you think I deserve to be in a leading role "he asked her . "What kinda question is that? "Iza rubbed his black curly hair. "I ..I don't know .....I'm not exactly a good singer " Karl mentioned, licking the silver lining of his retainer. "Just try your best Karl "Iza got closer to him holding Karl hand "I believe in you ..".
Outside started to thunder taking both if there attention, "I'll see you tomorrow.." Iza grabbed Karl's things as they both started to leave . Karl used his massive black wing to cover her up as the rain started to fall. 'Ah Izabella..." A tear fell from the current Karl's face "My one true love ..."
