CHAPTER 3:
It’s dark.
Where did she go?
Where… am I?
The light faded and Cera is gone.
She has been replaced with floating stones and a cold blue light.
I walk and touch the first stone,
“Do you choose the path to strike down your enemies with the power of your blade?”
I move away and touch the next,
“Do you wish to attack from the shadows and rain arrows on your foes?”
The third stone was next,
“Do you wish the power to protect those you love behind your shield?”
I lay my hand on the final stone.
“Do you wish to bend reality to your will and rewrite your own world?”
Bend reality to my will?
That sounds much more appealing than the other powers…. Striking down enemies… meh why have enemies? Rain on foes… Why have foes…. Protect those you love… it’s not as if anyone would love me so why should I protect anyone?
“I wish to bend reality to my will and rewrite my own world!” (Jay)
Nothing happened?
I look at the stone very hard and the words are now undecipherable runes…
What?
How did this happen?
The stone is glowing with a deep blue.
This light… it relaxes me…. I haven’t felt this in a long time….
The blue seems brighter now.
I shut my eyes and turn. Green?
I’m in a field… How?
Is this what is known as reincarnation.
I feel my body having the same sense of when I woke up.
I stretch and begin to walk around in the new world I have found myself in.
I look around and notice there is nothing near me.
“This is weird” (Jay)
Woah what was that? My voice is sounds lighter like a kids.
I look at myself and notice why. I was reincarnated as when I was 15…
In the old world this is the age when I had began working to support myself and those freeloaders. Is this how I am ‘rewriting’ my world?
I feel angry at the thought of all my work being useless and I felt my temperature increase.
My body…. It feels insanely hot!
I look around and I am surrounded with flames!
As soon as my concern for myself broke through my anger the flamed dissipated and all that's left is scorched grass.
I feel exhausted now… I walk again and I start seeing the horizon dim and an object become closer. It’s a carriage. It looks like something from an old movie. What time is this place set in?
Something doesn't feel right. I sense another presence and this one is hostile…
The old man on the carriage doesn’t look as if he could give off such an aura.
I was running. What is happening? I feel air swirling around my body and then I see a man hiding in the grass. Without knowledge of my movements I raise the man with my wind aura and throw him on the road.
The old man had no clue what happened nor the man who was attempting to attack him… now that I think about it neither do I.
“A witch!” The old man sped up and fled.
So magic isn’t a common element in this world…
Wait it wasn’t in my world either.
Too bad I wanted to ask him for directions also…
I guess I should keep walking? Eventually I will see a town.
