Glowing stars...

They are the only thing I can see, as I float gently in this never-ending darkness.

The small lights they radiate are the only thing that comforts me. Where am I even? What am I doing in this vast space?

As I ponder these questions... A bright light lightens up the whole place temporarily blinding me.

The pleasant warmth of the light instantly feels like a gentle hug from a mother. I feel safe being hugged by this light... Well until voices started emerging from nowhere.

"-- someone, help me!!" It was whispering something when it suddenly become a high-pitched scream.

"Save my dear child! I beg you!" another high-pitched scream echoes. I try to cover my ears but the fierce scream continues.

"Your highness!! Why did you abandon us?!" out of the corner of my eyes, black liquids start popping out of the ground.

"What did we do to deserve this cruel punishment?!" my heart thumps painfully inside my chest as the shrill cry of unbearable agony continues to flood the space.

The black liquid starts forming human-like hands and heads with white tears flowing sluggishly from their empty eye sockets.

I desperately tried running away from them when they start moving sluggishly toward me.

"Your highness... why did you forsake us like this?"

I screamed in shock as a black liquid hand grabs my shoulder from behind. Just what is happening?? What are all these things??

*Bathump! Bathump!*

I can feel my heart pounding loudly inside my ribcage as more hands formed practically surrounding me.

"N-no go away!! Let go of me!!" I frantically tried to forcibly remove them, but my hands got caught by the other liquid-like hands.

A shiver runs down my spine as the liquid rises from my knees to my stomach.

"N-no!!! H-help me!! Please!!" I scream for help as I can feel myself starting to panic.

No... I don't want to die yet! I still need to find my family! I still need answers! So please someone... Save me!

As if to answer my desperate prayer, a female figure covered with a light aura emerged from the liquid and floated in front of me.

From her long flowy hair to her bare feet, she's covered with light. She turns to face me just as my face was almost covered with black liquid. Touching my forehead, she whispers some words, and just like that the black liquid vanishes... leaving me kneeling on the ground?

A ground materialized out of nowhere, covered with green grass and colorful flowers. I turn to look at the 'light' lady when I caught her staring at me with sadness in her gentle eyes.

"You should be more careful... my little sister."

My eyes widen in genuine surprise, because of what I've heard. Then her body slowly starts vanishing.

"Wait! Wait! Don't leave! What do you mean by sister?!" I desperately ask while trying to hold her hand.

But she completely vanished before I had a chance to hold her.

I woke up with a jolt. My body shakes as I'm completely covered with cold sweat. Sitting around, I glanced around trying to identify where I am.
