Were you in heaven or is this hell? There was no ground, no way of knowing where you are. It was only darkness. An endless pit of nothingness.

"Finally! We can finally start the story!" A weird looking being, shape of a star, appears out of the darkness, the only light source here "Now that your here, let's start with introductions. Hi! My name is Cappy!"

It was excited. Too excited..

"..(Y/N).."

With the snap of its starry nub you find your plop down onto a cushion. The void gone yet now stuck in some living room. Cappy shuffling cards into separate decks. Smiling and humming a happy go lucky tune.

"I-I hate to be rude but, well, what are you exactly?"

Cappy spread the first deck, seven red card face down before you, easily answering your questions "I'm a starian! A galatian species of other worldly time, space, and dimensions. I'm also the care taker and supervisor of your world a.k.a Arcane!"

A small 'oh..?' left you. Now eyeing the blue, red, and green deck of cards laying flat before you. Face down and unknown to what each held.

"Now than, pick one card from each color deck. This way, I can send you back with a clean slate for a second chance in life. But I will warn you that the choices you pick today will determine your future. The world of Arcane is pretty but with a heavy cost."

Red, blue, and green cards. A choice unknown that will determine everything by every fiber of your being...

"....can I not do this? I-I have people to go back to. A family waiting for me-"

"Their are all dead."

No..

"You're sacrifice wasn't enough to save them all but it gave Powder time to do what she was made to do. When your cards are selected, I will send you back to the present time. Only, well, with a clean memory slate and upgrades."

"So....they will remember me but I won't know who they are? That's just cruel.."

Cappy nods, sipping a mug of hot coca he summoned, adding a little more too "It's not as cruel though. You'll have me! Your best friend Cappy!"

The cards were now forced closer to you, demanding to be picked up and chosen.

"Go on, pick a card."

You can't believe this. Your family is dead, your dead, and now have a chance to go back only to forget everything and everyone you ever known. How lucky you are but so curse at the same exact time..

Three separate colored cards have been chosen. The sixth red card, first green card, and third blue card. All remaining cards gone with a snap of a finger. The three cards chosen now on the table. Cappy floats over to flip each one starting from the right.

The blue card was flipped first. Revealing a girl with green cloths on, black hair, and looks to be summoning and throwing chunks of earth like it were mere toys.

The next card was flipped, green turned to reveal a family of blue hair and looks to be rich and fruitful.

And finally, the red card was flipped last. It was a rather interesting card reveal. There was a large snake starring into the eyes of a crow entangled in deaths grip. Both starring at one and other for such a long time. Trapped but confined.

"Draw another card."

"Huh?"

"Draw." A new set of cards appear, all black with gold lines, unknown to what each held "Another card."
