I own nothing.


Matt's POV

Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if my father hadn't abandon me after my mom died, if my grandmother hadn't found me and took me under her wing. Would I still be the kind-hearted creature that I am? Would I have as many friends as I do? Or would I be just like my father? I may have never met him, but I have heard about him.

I'm happy with how things turned out. I am still upset about my grandmother's passing, though. But I have to move on, if not for her sake than for mine. The Abyss is a dangerous place, especially since there are more dark creatures than light. Today I'm leaving for the Surface. Everyone says that going is a bad idea, but it's what my grandmother would have wanted. I've never been to the Surface before, but I have heard stories about it. They weren't good. I have doubts if I'll even make it on the Surface. But I imagine that it couldn't be worse as down here. And I definitely didn't want to live in the Underground. I heard the Devils there are worse than the Devils here.

I had already made up my mind. I'm going to the Surface. Hopefully I'll see others up there that could help me. Maybe I'll be able to meet The King. Of course, meeting Him is wishful thinking; no one ever sees The King. But I do know he's a dragon. A red one. The only red dragon. I wonder if he gets lonely.

Like me.


Negativity will be ignored. Also, I had written this back in March during class. Enjoy until the next chapter for Visiting Ikebukuro comes around.
