『Prologue - Recollection Blanking』

- (Your Name) -

We were once again back within the confines of the library. And while both Crowley and I were looking for any and all answers to my problems, both Griffin and Shadow decided to chase each other around like cat and mouse. I'm just glad Crowley hadn't spoken up about it. Speaking of the bird man, he placed his book back upon the table with a look of defeat, not an expression I wanted to see.

Crowley - "And just as I suspected, nothing. Nothing on this "Fortune" that you speak of, it's not listed or marked on any of our maps or within our history"
He then began to look back towards me, with suspicion in his eyes
Crowley - "And your QUITE sure that you come from this place? And that this isn't some sort of lie? Or jape?"

I felt some of the veins pop up on my face again.
(Your Name) - "I'm pretty sure, and I'm confident to say that I DID come from Fortuna"
Crowley only backed up a bit in shock at both my tone and demeanour.
Crowley - "I was only making sure?! As the only explanation that I have left for you, is that you might hail from a different world, or perhaps another universe entirely"

This statement kind of completely caught me off guard, I was probably in a completely different reality entirely, and with no way back.

Griffin - "My bets are on the "another universe" theory"
He then yelped after his input had been made, as Shadow began to catch up to him thanks to Griffin's short pit stop, Crowley could only watch as the two continued to play around.
Crowley - "Is this normal?"
He then indicated to the pair behind me.
(Your Name) - "It usually happens when we're outside of work hours"

He just hummed in response, before shaking it off, not wanting to add more questions to the mix and wanted to get back to the matter at hand.
Crowley - "Anyway, if you don't mind (Your Name), would you mind showing me what you have within that bag of yours? I'm mainly just seeing if you have a form of identification, a drivers license perhaps? To prove your statement"

This bird brain was gonna give me a headache at some point, I let out a frustrated sigh before lugging my bag up and dumping it onto the table. The silver Cain within making a clank as it, along with everything else made contact with the wood below. This gave Crowley a bit of a fright, since he was unknown with the contents within the bag.

(Your Name) - "All that I have are clothes, a metal Cain, and old photos"
Crowley- "And no identification?"
I began to search the bag for an ID, but it wasn't there, I must have left it at home... Great...
(Your Name) - "nope, no ID"

Crowley - "Well, this is quite the predicament... I can't just let someone with unknown power running around the school. However, as an educator, I can't just leave you on the streets with no ability in contacting their guardian..."
He really seemed to ponder this predicament, that when she shot back up in realisation.

Crowley - "I know! There's still an unused building still on campus, it used to be a dorm in the past. And with a bit of cleaning up, it should still be inhabitable enough for both you and your familiars, and I'll continue on looking into ways of sending you home! My graciousness has no bounds! I am a model educator, one might say."

I sighed at the man's excitement in front of me, still wondering if he's even hearing what he was saying most of the time. Well, what other choice do I have? I just nod my head as a response, before the bird brain then started dragging me out of the library and towards this unused dorm.

Crowley- "Well then, let us be off. I shall take you straight to your dorm, it maybe old, but it still shows character and charm to it!"

This was gonna be a very long night.

Please do not copy my art, and yes I did draw this. This is basically how I imagine the reader to looking like within this book, if you in-vision the reader differently, then that is alright.
