Soren licked the blood off of his knife, looking down at the meat on his plate.

Go on. Eat up, you'll need your strength for tomorrow.

"...what do you mean?"

It had been five years since Anubis had arrived here, in Soren's body. Five years since all of his friends had been murdered. And here he was, 'taking his meds' to keep the monster at bay.

The young man felt the monster in his head smile, a genuine grin. Tomorrow, my Narrator brings me home.

Flashes of a teenager with green highlights flashed behind his eyes. Limeade, Anubis's Narrator. Soren had gotten used to these flashes of knowledge from his body buddy. He took a bite of the meat on his plate, recoiling slightly at the coppery taste of raw flesh.

all these years and I'm still not used to it.

Anubis scoffed, though he wouldn't argue with the boy. He'd be out of here soon enough. He and Soren both knew that.

------------

"so...how are we getting there?" Soren tossed his bird mask from hand to hand, fidgeting with the goggles on his head. He hadn't been this nervous since he was a kid.

Patience, Soren. We are already almost there.

"yeah right. we've been sitting here for hours now."

Exactly. Any moment now.

Suddenly, Soren felt his whole body go numb. He fell, trying to catch himself on a nearby trash can, but his hands passed through it as he fell through the ground.

Soren woke up in a field of flowers. He didn't remember how he got here, but Anu is was cackling in his head.

Holy shit! Limeade you absolutely fantastic Narrator! Hahahahahahaehehehe!!!

so this is the sbf. it's more...empty than I imagined.

We're in the Void. I try not to come out here.

"i can see why. it's very boring." Soren started picking flowers, whistling a chant to calm himself out of habit. That's when he noticed the strange creature.

"...sorry i didn't know i had an audience."

Dixen?

Soren noticed Dixen looked uncomfortable. "...I can leave." She turned around, getting ready to walk away.

Don't let her leave, nobody can know I'm back yet.

Soren stood up, reaching out towards Dixen in a disarming gesture. "no it's fine, I'm pretty sure you were here first." For all he knew, that could be true. He was just grasping at straws though.

Dixen just walked away, clearly wanting nothing to do with Soren. Rude.

"okay bye, i guess." Soren waved half-heartedly.

Alright, time to move on. We need to meet up with Lime.

"...it really is a nice place here. i can see why you were so desperate to come back." Soren began walking, following the line Anubis was tracing in his mind.

-----------

I closed my notebook, looking around at the other OCs sleeping around me. Soon enough, it'll all be over and life can go back to normal. I just had to meet up with Anubis, and everything could be set in motion.

When I started writing, I didn't know what exactly would happen until I finished. Now he was back, and I had to meet up with him. I didn't know why, I just knew that's what I'd written.

I gathered some supplies, including a torch to make the journey easier.

"I'm coming, sir. I'm on my way."
