MYSTFOLD

Lycoris 1: Rebirth

It was vivid and beautiful, I opened my eyes and saw an unusual scene, I was in the eyes of a little girl looking at a majestic scenery with a mysterious girl beside me, her face was all blurry, it was an unbelievable scene though, flowers were blooming across the landscape with its colors illuminating my eyes. The sky was dreamy, the clouds were beautiful with the purple sky, blending perfectly as the wind blew the petals around the field like birds flying free.

"Kei, if you were to pick a type of flower. What would you choose?" ████ asked as she looked upon the vibrant field of flowers with me.

"Hmm," I laid a finger on the bottom of her chin, "I'd pick everything to bloom on a new field."

"Is that so?" ████ looked at me and smiled, "No wonder you're such an amazing person, Kei. I hope I can be part of that beautiful field."

Everything went to black... Although I could see a dim light in the distance and a faint voice.

"Kei, the God of Fate is chained in its own strings."

The voice spoke, am I Kei?

"Please wake up, your duty is imperative."

Duty?

"You're given a second chance, you're not dead yet."

"I shall guide you till the end." The mysterious voice said as her volume slowly faded to nothingness. What did she mean?

It started to rain petals of lycoris around me. Suddenly, my chest was pierced by the same flower.

My surrounding changed. In the blink of an eye, I was lying in a rough bed. I sensed the odor of iron invading my nostrils. I slowly sat up on the bed and noticed a big splash of red painted on the sheets and a wire from a machine that connected to my arms.

I was confused at the red tint on the bed and held the back of my head to check if I had any injury. Unusually, I had none, whose stain was this?

Besides the bed and the machine, the only other thing present in this bland room was a wooden table with a few envelopes displayed on it.

I checked what the machine was for but saw that it was already busted out. I pulled out the wires and a weird sensation suddenly erupted out of my own flesh.

I looked at the weird contraction happening unto my body and saw that the parts where the wires were attached to me had wounds that healed hastily.

"Why am I here?" I asked myself. I stared at the letters on the table and hoped that it had answers to my questions erupting out of my head.

I stood up and went to check the envelopes on the table. I sat on the table and slowly opened the envelope. There were 2 letters inside the envelope and so I read them.

"Dear Kei

I'm sorry for failing you. I couldn't help you. But I was able to get you here and saw that your head was recovering. It was traumatizing I thought you died.

That crystal on your ribbon worked wonders... You lost to a powercored superhuman that crushed your head. I dealt with it and checked your body. Somehow, your heart was still beating when I checked your pulse.

I carried your body somewhere safe after. I fled to the old laboratory where we first met, put your body on a bed and used a machine on you to ensure you're still getting nutrients while you recover, it can last years since I remember it's used for those in coma. Once it detected that you're awake, it will send an alarm to the association to get you, plus I also sent a signal to the association outside the country in advanced to try and save you.
