AN- Just a quick Neo Prisma sideproject. I already have most of it written, but I'm going to update 'daily' instead. :P Just to make you all miserable.

I don't own Nintendo, kay? I just don't. Thanks and enjoy. -KawaiiJoltic

Neo Genesis- Dusk I

Running. That seemed to be the only thing left to do. Everything he knew had faded into nothing. His home, his father, his sister, his country. And now the only to belay fading into nothingness himself was to run. No time to grieve. No time to plan. No time to rest. Only running mattered. Because if he stopped running, there wouldn't be anything left of what once was. And that kept him running.

The woods were thick in places, making it harder for his pursuers to find him. He could scramble through the brush in the hopes that they would eventually give up. But he had no idea when that might be. Adrenaline stopped his mental clock from working correctly, and for all he knew it could have been five minutes or five hours.

He could hear the occasional screech from the air, alerting him that safety was hardly in his grasp. But as he kept running, they faded and eventually were inaudible. Even so, he didn't stop running until the moon had risen. And only then did he stop running unwittingly, because something fell on him as he passed a tree.

One moment he was running, and the next he was under something, or rather someone and had a great deal of pain where the figure was sprawled. "D-did you fall on me?", he stammered as he attempted to get up and shake the figure off.

The figure stood up suddenly and, in the faint moon light, he could make out a long, dark cloak and blue eyes. "Sorry. Must have lost my balance. But, who are you? I thought no one was left here."

"Hardly anyone, I'd guess. Those birds must have stormed the entire country."

"They did.", the figure huffed angrily. "And you didn't answer my question."

"Does it really matter?"

"Yes. Yes it does. Because chances are you're the last person I'm going to meet that doesn't want me dead before I am dead."

"Fine. I'm Ike Greil. And you are?"

"Alice.", the figure replied. "Call me Alice."

AN- Hope you enjoyed it. Not much more to say. :) Thanks for reading!-KawaiiJoltic
