Goose bumps consumed the small girl's body as she shivered atop a red skyscraper.

The world below had become submerged in a never-ending crimson ocean, neon green rain blurring Chloe's vision.

Combined with the harsh winds that tugged at her frail body, the orange-haired girl was forced to dig her feet into the floor while she stared upwards towards the abyss that lay above her.

Two giant obsidian orbs greeted her, reminding the small girl of all the times she'd peered upwards towards them in her life.

Their first appearance had been when Chloe had been forsaken by the world she'd lived in up to that point, unchanging even when their host developed, for better or for worse.

They bore into her soul, pupils unmoving and lacking emotion as if they had been carved from stone, forcing the girl to shake herself out of the trance she had found herself in, focussing her attention onto something—or rather someone—else.

A gurgling sound erupted from in front of the girl, sounding as if the person it came from was simultaneously choking and laughing.

Chloe's singular orange orb flung towards the disfigured body that stood slanted before her.

As if struggling to come to terms with its new body, the green orbed monstrosity ferociously shook its limbs, as if it had been submerged in dirt and was currently trying to rid itself of it.

Following its towering body, the figure's long black hair fell to the floor, spreading several meters around their feet, leaving the girl wondering how long it would even take to grow one's hair out that long.

A deep frown, fraught with pain and discomfort, had been splayed across its countenance, two stabbed emerald orbs frantically rolling around in their destroyed sockets before suddenly locking onto the stunned girl who stood in front of it.

The orange-haired girl opened her mouth, attempting to say something—anything—to the figure that stood well over twice her height but failed in doing so.

"So this is one of those dreams, huh?" The girl inwardly scoffed, subconsciously gripping her fists so tightly that her knuckles started to become white.

Orange orb trained upon the figure's blackened hands; she silently watched as it reached into their abdomen and pulled out a crimson weapon forged from its own blood.

The handle of the knife came out first, the liquid sloshing around within the monster's hands before hardening into a wooden-like handle that let out small metallic whimpers upon contact with the never-ending neon green rain that had been thrust down from the abyss above.

Chloe's mouth inched upwards as she lowered her centre of gravity, squatting close to the ground as if preparing for her opposition's inevitable charge.

Just as the girl had finished her preparations by holding out her hands in front of her as if she were about to hug the being who stood a few meters in front of her, the ruby knife finished solidifying, an inhumanly deep chuckle crawling its way out of both of their mouths as they locked gazes.

"Oh Lea. My best friend? Hah, of course not." She chuckled to herself, launching forward towards her opposition.

Under the roaring rain, a crooked voice broke through, like a poisonous lighthouse that would lead ships towards its turbulent shores with promises of salvation and civilisation.

"I'm glad that you've shown yourself before me once again, Lea! I wasn't satisfied with just killing you once!"

A thunderclap of lightning smashed into the ocean, illuminating the two who were about to make contact. A fragile figure clashed against one twice as large as herself.
