As I attempted to jump, I saw the face of another that was falling. Their gender? I'm not very sure. But as I made eye contact with them, there was a flash, and suddenly, they were gone. Everything was gone. I find myself sitting on the rough ground instead of falling. I pick myself up from the ground. Around me was just land and some trees. I'm in a forest..?

I look around the surrounding area. The air sends a breeze, the trees are dance gracefully in it, making its own melody to fill the area. The forest is close to being completely barren, leaving only some trees and grass. There's no flowers, no animals, it's almost as if I were the only living being in the area.

Rustle!

I immediately shoot my head towards the direction of the sound. There was a girl with dark magenta hair staring at me from behind a bush. She hasn't notice that I have caught her staring at me. Do I approach her? Maybe I shouldn't... But why is she staring at me? I shake my head roughly. I back up a bit and then quickly turn my head, so she doesn't notice that I am aware of her staring. I look straight forward, and conveniently laying right in front of me was a nice clear path, leading to someplace. I squint my eyes to try and figure out what the path would lead to. There was a building, another building, and another building. Nevertheless, I couldn't see anything.

I start walking down the path, getting more anxious by the minute. At first, I didn't think about anything when I first came... But now.. My throat starts to feel dry and it feels as if my stomach acid had made its own whirlpool. I stop in my tracks. How did I end up here in the first place..? Is this just a dream? Is this the afterlife?My face grimaces at that thought. People always talk about afterlife as if it were some sort of paradise, but how are they so sure about that? How do they know that it wasn't all just a made up story made by an individual who was just bored? I stop myself from going into a daze. I close my eyes, take a breath, and continue walking. Suddenly my legs stop as I feel a watchful gaze had been laid upon me. I quickly turn around, "Who's there?!"

...

Dead silence filled the troposphere. I let out a huff, "C-come out now!! O-or else!" I hold a stick in a weapon like stance. From a distance it would seem as if I were holding a box cutter or a knife of some sort. Dark magenta eyes appear from behind a tree in the distance. I turn my head to face them, giving them an overwhelmingly pathetic glare. There, she fully shows herself, letting out a soft chuckle. She had long bubblegum pink hair, tied into a long ponytail. She wears a short white top with a strip of pink on the side. Her white skirt waves around carelessly in the wind. To top it off she has various bows all around her outfit and a staff with a bunch of gold rings and a large heart on the top. Wait... A staff? I step backwards a bit.

"Hm... You're scared of me aren't ya~" She claims, pointing at me with a look that screams 'big ego!' "Hmph, well of course you would be... After all, everyone would act like that in front of an S-tier valkyrie such as myself!" I look at her with a confused look letting out a quiet "Huh..?" A valkyrie? "Huh?! Don't tell me you don't know who I am!" She grips onto her staff and spins it around continuously in a try-hard manner. "Not even my staff?! Everyone would recognize it when they see it!" I give her a deadpan look and start backing up a bit, trying to escape from the immensely awkward situation.

"You must think I'm a fake don't you? Well fine then, I'll show you my signature move~" Huh?! Does this girl have the brain of a peanut? Who thinks that?! She starts spinning the staff even faster making a light pink aura appear around her. Her hair starts flowing back and begins to glow. She puts on a wide grin while finally stopping the irritating spins and pointing the staff to the sky. "Heart attack!" She yelled. What.
