Chapter 2: The Sun Never Rises

Blood filled the horizon, the ground was drowned by its crimson, and the sky cried its ichor.

Yet a boy remained unmoved in this fury. The blood couldn't reach him as it could only slide off its pale skin, unable to soil his presence.

Slowly, the sea started to move, and multiple skeletons left their drowning chastisement and surrounded the only ray of white.

Their bones were red, their eye was empty, and their teeth had long fallen, yet a single knife rested in each of their hand, yet it was more drenched in blood than the whole sea.

The blades were in the form of a snake, being as crooked as their use.

The kid didn't react to their apparition, he didn't even notice them. He only looked at the sky, looking for something he didn't even know.

One skeleton raised his knife high and directed it toward the only trace of red on the boy's body, its eyes. They were of a simple pale red, yet they looked more putrid than the blood surrounding them.

The skeleton raised his knife high in the sky, but before he had the chance to cut down its eye, he became dust. The same happened to the other skeleton surrounding him.

Only their knife stayed intact, before slowly drowning in the sea.

And a shadow slowly returned under the boy

But after some instant, the skeleton reappeared, still showing off its crimson.

They didn't make any other attempt, only standing there and opening their jaw.

''We were lost Wooloo.''

''Afraid of the dark.''

''The sun never rose''

''But then he came.''

''With his light.''

''With our hope.''

'''WITH OUR SUN!'''

''He guided us.''

''He saved us!''

''He blessed us!''

''He blessed you!''

'''YET YOU CURSED US!'''

'"YOU MADE THE SUN SCREAM!"'

"'YOU MADE US FLEE!'"

''So why?''

"'WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!?'''

*poof*

Before they could finish their serenade, they were reduced to powder.

Yet, a single voice still reasoned in this empty world.

But what is the point of hearing it echo if no one believes it?

***

...why do I see nothing? Did I sleep early? I don't remember falling asleep...on what am I sleeping anyway? It's... comfortable? Oh, that means that Pandora must also have slept well...

...why didn't he wake me up? Is he still asleep, weird, I don't remember any...

WHERE PANDORA!!! DID THEY TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!!!

I remember now! I was assaulted by the weird pokemon, and then an even more terrifying man came down and said he would take me!

Did he take Pandora with him also!?

I try to stand up, but my hand sinks into a soft matter which makes me slip down.

Where am I!? What is that under me!? Where Pandora!
