A/N: Heya guys! Again, this is a new fanfic about the new anime I had just watched, Puella Magi Madoka Magica! Yeah, it was great and all with the awesome storyline and plot!

The writing style of mine will be actually changed, so… yeah! Enjoy the Prologue!
?
_ fall. _ doesn't know where _ am now. The surroundings are dark and empty, _ couldn't see anything and couldn't feel anything as well due to the darkness and the lack of a floor for _ to land on. The fall had lasted forever and _ couldn't seem to think that an end to this painfully long fall will be ending for any time soon. _ decided to take a sleep due to the overwhelming darkness is the only _ scene _ can see and the emptiness is what _can only feel.
…
Thump.
_ reach the ground. _ opens _ eyes to respond to the end of _ fall. Seems that there's actually an end to this long fall after all this time that had passed. The sound of _ footsteps vibrate through the endless dark void, reminding _ that _ am alone and nobody else would be here. _ didn't give up, since _ am the only one that exists in this place. _ was shown when _ had silently proceed through the lone darkness.
_ see a light. A light that welcomes and accepts. Surely _ wouldn't have passed up the chance for _ to find a place and rest after all of this endless walking in the lonesome darkness. _ slowly proceeded through the darkness and reached to the light that shines so brightly in this endless darkness that _ had walked through.
When _ footsteps had reached the light that was guiding _, it appeared as a panel. Five separate person were drew on the panel, and each person that was portrayed seem to have differed fates from what _ can observe from each illustrations that was made.
The first one is a pink haired girl. She wears maid-like uniform that was apparently made for battle and she had appeared at the middle, petals of the sakura tress scattering over here and appeared to be wings on her back.
The second one is a blue haired girl. She wears a cape while facing a couple that made out in the sunset, seemingly weeping tears of uncertainty. Blades and musical notes were dancing around her.
The third one is a yellow haired girl, having some curls on her hair. An illustration of kindness. Riffles, seeming infinite of them were appearing around her and aiming at the very darkness at the edge in her illustration.
The fourth is a red haired girl, her hair is quite messy. She stood tall, and was holding a spear in her hands to face things that could come her way. Spears and some food was flowing around her.
The final one is a dark haired girl. She was looking at the girl that was shown in the middle, appeared to be worrying about her fate and life. Clocks and several modern weapons appear around her.
_ admired the light and the drawings, and decided that I should move on instead of staying at the same spot. The drawings wouldn't have helped _ in any way possible, too. _ footsteps were vibrating through _ ears as _ moved through the panels and the hallow stairs that led my way through the light.
_ footsteps seems to have attracted someone as _ seemingly had reached the final place that wouldn't let me proceed further in this place. A voice had broke me out of my thoughts, calling out to me as _ turned my attention towards the source of the voice that had called out to _.
"You're here."
Are you… talking to _?
"Indeed I am."
Who… are you? What is this place…? More importantly… what… am… _?
"Ah…" The white haired young man that had appeared in his adult stage in life gently rubbed his chin and his mustache, looking at _ while having a skeptical look smeared on his face. He seemed to have been intrigued about my curiosity.
Why is the man here? The place and the dimension, even—didn't seem to be a place suitable for humans to live in. Was he lost in the darkness like how _ was? Or was he a denizen of the infinite light that shone and lead people through the darkness?
"Young man. What is _name?"
What…? A name…? Have _ used to have a name before… o-oh…! That's right, what's _ name!? I silently held my head, unable to speak for myself.
"You don't have a name…?
…young man, come with me."
_ walked with the man, until we had reached a blank space suddenly before I had even realized it—the man faced me while noticed me looking all over _ surroundings. He chuckled a little at how curious _ am.
"Young man… with a lost identity and memories... no wonder you couldn't think of who you are and you are unable to actually speak. Now, if you desire an identity... let me ask _ a few questions."
Words, choices, and decisions had begun to float in _ mind. _ am able to choose freely as of now.
"Be reminded… what you chose… will decide who _ are. Those answers are the very foundations of the identities I will give you. They resemble each and every detail on the person's thoughts. Choose wisely."

"I see… so that is _ choice… well, see the results for _."
Words started to manifest again after the answers had been picked and _ looked at what the mister had projected on the white walls. It took some time, but it wasn't too long. I paid attention and observed what had been projected.
Those were the choices of what _ would choose be in my life. No wonder it had to be such critical questions that asked straightly for criteria's of thoughts.
Bearing my choices and answers, _look at the words.
…
'If what you chose was mostly 1… you are given the identity, Satomi Aikawa. You're a fair person to everyone, and inherited chivalry that can lead people around you. You wouldn't have hesitated even for a second if something is needed to be fulfilled, and you're quite hot-headed. You will cross paths with Kyoko Sakura, the red haired silhouette.'
'If what you chose was mostly 2… you are given the identity, Kagetsu Kanbayashi. You are an observant person, and were very strict about what happens around you. Others may mistake you for a cold person, but what you really want to fulfill was to help each other's by not having them taking a wrong path. You will cross paths with Akemi Homura, the black haired silhouette.'
'If what you chose was mostly 3… you are given the identity, Mihara Tateyama. You are a kind person that was shown to everyone, but deep down you just wanted people to know that you were in pain before. You try your best to understand everyone, which may sometimes cause conflict. You will cross paths with Mami Tomoe, the yellow haired sihoutte.'
'If what you chose was mostly 4… you are given the identity, Makoto Yukihira. You are a loner kind of person, and you can only see someone having friends from aside. It's very hard for you to get a friend, but you are a worthy one once you got someone who understood you. You will cross paths with Miki Sayaka, the blue haired silhouette.'
'If what you chose was mostly 5… you are given the identity, Araki Tachibana. You are an easy-going person, and can blend in to most ideals and things that people think. But… you have your own sense of path to walk down, and something that you will hold to and will reject any thing that comes after it. You will cross paths with Madoka Kaname, the pink haired silhouette.'
"Young man… try talking, would you?"
"H-Huh?" Wait… I can finally speak now! The words that represent my very existence are actually given to me by the man! W-Woahh! This is amazing! My own excitement aside, who is this man? What is he? He gave me an identity and all…
"You can speak now, huh. Good. Now, which did you picked for the most in the chances?"
"Um…" I gently scratched my chin while thumping my feet, looking over the identities given again and again. I… don't think I can choose between these personas that I might bear.
"Ah… you're having trouble deciding which one, I presume?"
"Yeah. All of these people seemed… amazing, even though they have their own flaws that stood out. I don't really think I would bear losing even one of them. Can I retry the test again?"
The man became silent, looking at me and seemingly amused at what I just said. Did I do anything to offend him? Or is the test can only be done once in this lifetime chance? Either way, I feel a little horrified at how is this going to result in, and gulped a little.
"Ahahahaha!"
My inner fears were cut out by a barrage of laughs made by the man that had been quiet for a few moments ago. The laughs were so sudden, I startled a little and my feet started to tremble hard as if I saw a ghost just now.
"Last question for you. What is happiness?"
Happiness, huh… The word has many meanings that can be perceived by many people, but I guess I just need to be blunt and tell him what I think about the actual phrase itself.
My head feels weird. It cracks when I try to remember something that happened in my life that can be called happiness.
I need to rely on my instincts now.
"Happiness is… unending."
The man seemed amused and looked at the choices he gave me. I was puzzled by his actions and wanted to ask something—but the man had turned back to look at me with a happy expression shown.
"You are truly unique."
"That means I'll just have to make you take on all five of them."
Crack. Something in me explodes. I… started to… _ feel weird… The white space began to crack down for me, and _ had fell into the darkness once again. What _ don't know is, beyond the darkness that _ had fallen into was an ocean.
_ think _ lost something that represents _ yet again...
"Sleep tight, young man."
The darkness and the water choke _. Intense fear was ringing in_ body and_I reached out to the light that became smaller over time when _ had fell even deeper into the darkness.
"To loss... is to gain..."
What am _ losing!? Why can't _ ... Identify even _!?
"But don't be afraid."
"You hold the mightiest answer of all."
"So don't forget…"
"You are the one who will _."
A/N: SEE WHAT I DID THERE? XD Either way, the prologue is done! I'll try really hard to update over time and until next chapter, ciao!
