AN: Hello readers this is my first Houseki no Kuni or Land of The Lustrous story. I was inspired to make this from other fanfics.
Say your thoughts in your reviews and if you don't like then don't read. Now please enjoy.
Blue.
That's all I could see.
Water.
A liquid that has no shape.
Waves.
The currents coming and returning back into the sea, or ocean, repeatedly touch
the bottom of my feet and retreat in an endless loop.
Crunch.
My fingers slowly come together to make a fist. The tiny rocks known as sand mold within my palm.
Light.
The light of the round white object known as the moon reflects itself on the surface of the blue abyss. How long have I been sitting here? I don't know how many minutes... hours... no. Days have gone by since my awakening on this beautiful beach.
Be...a...c...h
"RUN!"
"This has to be a bad dream."
"Just how many times is this gonna happen!?"
People are yelling. Running in the opposite direction of what's coming. Something that we seen before but weren't prepared for.
"#$*%# COME ON!"
I hear someone else yell. My body is shaken and being assaulted but it doesn't faze me.
It came closer.
And closer
AND CLOSER
.
..
...
...
Blue.
My body spasms.
What was that?
I have no control.
My fingers twitch, my jaw repeatedly tightens and loosens, my eyes dart everywhere.
SKREEEEE!
Was that my voice? I've never made a noise like that.
Splash!
The sudden wetness on my face brings my body to a halt.
Huh?
But before it was-oh I moved towards the water. I didn't move, something is horribly wrong. I've never had to deal with something like that ever before. My body felt strange. I slowly dragged myself back to where I sat moments before, but as I clawed my way I couldn't really feel the sand in between my fingers. No I do feel it but not like before, now it's like my sense of touch has been numbed.
Just breathe in, breathe o-
I pause. I can't breathe. No air is entering my body. I use my hands to push myself up on my knees and place one on my chest. Nothing. No rise or descent. But then how am I alive? I need to breathe don't I? Actually... have I been breathing these past few days? Of course I was. There's no possible way to hold your breathe for over days. Right?
I think yes but I also say no. I felt no cold air enter my nose and leave after. My hand goes back to the sand. So I can't breathe but I'm not dying from lack of oxygen.
I stand.
OOMPH
And fall back down. I face planted into the sand.
I try again.
OOMPH
Same results. I ready myself.
HAH!
And push.
They had no idea how to approach this being ahead of them. They came when they heard that bloodcurdling scream. Was it a Lunarian? No it wasn't. They never made a sound like that. Either way, they rushed towards the source, each step left a sign of thier presence on the ground behind them. It only took a minute before they saw something moving and slowed down to a stop.
"What the?"
At first they didn't make a move. They stayed away from its line of sight, waiting, observing this... thing in front of them. But. As they watched the mysterious being act, the thought of it being a threat lessened and fell into...
OOMPH
It being a complete idiot. How it rose and fell from the sand. They couldn't help but think of a certain gem in comparison.
'That's enough.'
They walk foward, to the unknown one laying in the sand.
AN: I know, short first chapter. It came to me all of a sudden so the chapters onward will be over 1k or 2k words for sure. Please review so I can hear your opinions and I'm thinking of doing little omakes at the end of some chapters for fun so give me a scenario if you want it.
