Prolog
It is part of mankind to have wishes, to want what one does not have. To dream of a different life and to change back time. Everyone knows that whishes never come true, no matter how hard one desire is. Despite the fact I myself still wish, I still believe that one day it may come true. I just hope that 'one day' will come sooner than later.
I find myself in a sea of darkness, no light what so ever. No moon to light up my path, nothing. . . just like heart. I recall that my little sister would always say that my heart is a cold, empty abyss that is filled with just darkness. I chuckle remembering the serious look that she would always give me, always chastising me to no end. Yet the darkness that I'm surrendered by isn't cold, to me it almost feels welcoming. I've been walking in total darkness for who knows how long, taking a step at the time. Not wanting to take in any risk of falling into a hole or something, which I highly dout will happen. I hear someone coming walking towards me. The soft taping of shoes can be heard on the hard ground. The taping gets louder with each step taken along with a heat. I feel myself panic, where to go? What to do? Do I fight? How can this person see me in the darkness? So many questions race through my head; I got lost in my thought and fear and didn't notice that it had reached me. A tug on my hand brought me out of thoughts.
"This way child, come over here" a soft melodic female voice spoke while pulling me.
"umm. . .excuse me but . . .where are we going?"
"hehe, don't be scared were going to see the others. You have a long painful journey awaiting you." The sweetness in the voice sent shivers down my spine, dose it really need to put emphases on the painful part?
"Were here! I brought her, see!" the sudden outburst took me by surprise.
"Dear child the time has come for you to get ready for your quest." A male voice said from in front of me
"You have been chosen to save the earth" a female voice said from the right
"Today will be your last day with your family, friends and everyone that you know and love." A soft male voice spoke from the left
"Make today a wonderful day full of good memories, for everyone that knows you will forget that you even exists." The same voice that lead me here said from behind
"Your time with them is short; we will meet again tonight." Footsteps from the left come closer to me.
"As for now take this pendant and well explain everything tonight." The soft male voice says while getting my hand and placing a cold, smooth pendant in my hand.
"and happy birthday" they all say together with a hint of sadness in their voice
Sunlight is streaming through the blinds and hitting my face. Opening my eyes and looking up at the illumined ceiling for at least a good minute or two.
"what a strange. . ." I start saying before noticing something is in my hand
"dream?. . Or not." Bring the pendant closer to my face I see that it's a clear sky blue rock in the shape of a tear and in the center of it are two wings.
"how beautiful, I never seen anything like it. This is a birthday gift from those people from the dream, but why now on my 19th birthday?" I say to no one in particular
'Make today a wonderful day full of good memories,' those words ring in my mind. My last day with my family.
"then I'll make it a unforgettable day, I'll head those words"
