Prologue 1-a: A Stranger's Awakening

~ 3rd Person's Perspective ~

*CRACK!* *CREAK!* 

     "Is it morning?" The current Heartfilia with (Hair Color) hair asked as she rubbed her eyes and trying to get up. "Happy, Pantherlily, Carla?" She called.

Trying to get up, she felt her head hit something hard. Wincing in pain, she can't see anything not even a sign of light. She outstretches her arms, but it ended up only touching something so sturdy. Her feet are also touching the sturdy part...

     'AM I IN A BOX?!' She wildly thought.

     "Grrrr! The lid is too heavy." An unfamiliar voice suddenly said.

     (Name) got startled as she tried getting her keys, 'That doesn't sound like Happy nor Pantherlily...' She thought as she tried to get up. 'WHAT?! This isn't the forest!'

You see (Name) is in the 10-year quest and now using the forest because she's gonna get some diamonds from the inherit of the Heartfilia. Along with the trusty exceeds of her godfathers and godmother, she knew she'll be safe around them...

     "Time for... my secret move! Guwaahuhh~ There!" The 'thing' that (Name) is in was burned by a sea of fire.

     "F-Fire?!" She yelled as she jumps out of the 'thing' she is in earlier. "I'm IN A COFFIN ALL THIS TIME?!"

Looking around, she knew she f-- I MEAN! SHE KNEW SHE ISN'T IN THE FOREST! YEAH IN THE FOREST! She roamed her eyes, trying to look for the exceeds

     "Ok, ok. Gotta get..." (Name) looked underneath her and saw... "Whaaaaaaaa! Why are you up?!" It yelled at her.

     "A talking r-raccoon. I would gladly understand a talking flying cat, BUT THIS?!" (Name) screamed. 'This is one messed-up raccoon and I gladly agreed on that...' She added mentally.

A black-furred 'raccoon' with fiery ears and a devil pitchfork tail-like...

     "WHAT?! I'm NOT A RACOON!" It remarked. "Just who are you calling a raccoon! I am the Great Grim!"

    'This one sounds cocky... Much more cocky than I first met Happy...' (Name) grew an irk mark on her forehead. Trying to find her whip and her keys from her inner clothes, it turns out it is missing, too.

     "Hurry and gimme those clothes!" Grim ordered her. "Otherwise..." He suddenly aimed his mouth on her face, "... I'll roast ya!" He threatened.

     "Dreaming about getting roasted by a raccoon, that's a new one!" She thought out loud, making the certain 'raccoon' get angry.

     "I said I'm not a freaking raccoon!" It denied, going rampage by summoning fire everywhere around it. (Name) took that opportunity to run away from the raccoon.

She first got into a hallway, then a classroom, next to the courtyard, and lastly into the library. She also took a good look outside and look upwards, seeing a creepy castle...

      "If this is a dream, I wanna wake up..." She whispered, still searching for her weapons.

Then a blew of blue fire almost charred (Name), luckily it was just aside her. She saw the silhouette of Grim from the dark when she turned around...

     "Did you really think you'd get away from my nose? Dumb human!" Grim laughed as he made his way to (Name). "If you don't wanna get roasted, better hand over -!"

When she found her whip [It was in the back of hers], a lash beat her to it. (Name) blinked because of confusion and looked who does own this lash...
