"We're gonna dance"

Xael's Point of View

Darkness.

That's what I saw after reading that weird paper. I can't see anything. I can't even see my hands nor my body.

I decided to look around the place. I don't know why I even bother to look; maybe to find light? It's pointless but there's no harm in trying. There's a little hope that guides me despite the chills I'm feeling.

I stood up from where I am and walked to one direction. I can't even feel the place. It's not cold but it's not hot either.

I stopped walking because I felt like I'm going nowhere. I turned to another direction and ran until I felt a slight suffocation. I felt panic trying to rise in my chest.

Oh no. This is getting bad.

I stopped running so I can catch my breath and used my knees as support that made me look at the black emptiness I'm standing on.

I inhaled sharply and calmed myself down for a bit as I kept staring on the ground until I saw light in front of me.

I looked at the source of brightness and it had images flashing.

The light showed something and it was a mixture of smoke explosions with different colors. There was an orange bear that weirdly had a horn with Kichi sitting on its back. He also had a pig suit... I won't detail the suit. It's kinda morbid. Behind him were... books with wings?

"COME MINIONS. LET'S WIN THIS WAR...WITH PAPER CUTS MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA," he said mischievously laughing as he moved forward to charge for his aforementioned war.

The scene moved on to the general and he's dancing alone with a choir singing for him. Oh god. Another morbid scene.

Imagine a children song being sung with high notes. Childhood ruined.

"All together now," he shouted. The general really loves children songs. He was so dedicated. There was this one time that I overheard him talking to Hiro and he said that he was gonna name him Mary so he can sing Mary Had A Little Lamb to him all the time. Unfortunately, his mother didn't like it. I can feel Hiro's thankfulness to his mom.

I was getting consumed with the scene when I felt something grab my foot. Fear creeped in instantly because I was late to react when I was pulled down as I screamed so hard.

The hand finally let go of my foot when we hit the ground. Ouch. My butt hit the floor.

I stood up and rubbed my butt to ease the pain because it kinda hurts and observed the place. It was still dark.

"Of course it'll be dark. Your eyes are closed"

And...I'm talking to myself. I opened my eyes and saw a cozy couch. I was gonna sit down to relieve my butt-ache when I heard voices

"Pathetic"

"Just go back to your kingdom, princess. This isn't a place for little girls"
