The Heart of Chaos
Prolouge, Part 1: Wandering
Darkness.
Just Darkness.
Pure, glorious darkness.
As the man walked through the dark abyss, the feeling of dread and hoplessness clung to him like putty and made his hair stand up. He could not even think one happy thought in his mind; the darkness clouded his thoughts out of reach. For a moment, it seemed that the only things left in the man's mind were thoughts of evil and suffering. This, he believed, was the one fate worse than death.
For miles and miles to come, he could see nothing but darkness. There were no homes, no people, no animals, or any linving thing whatsoever--just darkness. It filled everything in this world...or at least, that was what the man thought. It filled the air that he breathed, making it stale and rotton. It blackened and hardened the ground. But perhaps the worst thing that the man saw was the sky, where there was no light. He knew there never would be light there or anywhere in the world--nothing would ever change that.
Of course, this didn't seem unfamiliar to the man at all. Wandering into darkness was his duty, his mission, and the only thing that gave his life purpose. That's how he got his name: The Wanderer. He had no job, no love, no personal goals...just wander, observe, and help the poor and defenseless. Armed only with a staff, some medicine, and a journal, the Wanderer's mission was to find suffering souls about to be consumed by darkness and record their stories of how they came to the place they did and who was responsible for their pain and suffering. The Wanderer had no idea why he did this--maybe it was to reconcile his fears of fading away into darkness, or distract himself from his own dark past. Whatever the reason, the goal was simple: gather as many stories as possible, publish them into a collection and sell many copies. This way, all would understand about the darkness and do whatever was possible to stop it from plauging their worlds.
Tonight was a special night for collecting stories. The Wanderer had gotten a tip about someone who had crossed over into another person's world, then got lost in that realm of darkness. When he asked them why, they wouldn't answer; obviously they didn't know or want to tell him. Intrigued by the idea of someone stuck in a different darkness, the Wanderer asked them who the person was. He had recorded all the information on a sheet of paper: name, birthplace and time, world his lived in, and much more. Afraid he would forget what to ask the person when he found him, the Wanderer took out the sheet of paper and looked it over.
Name: Yugi Muto
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Marital Status: Divorced with Tea Gardner
Children: Sarah Muto, aged 4-5
Origin World: Domino City, Japan (Yu-Gi-Oh!, for those of you who don't watch the show)
World he/se Succumed to: The World that Never Was (Kingdom Hearts, for those of you who don't play the games)
That was all he had been able to recieve before the source had been mysteriously found dead 2 days later in a place called Hollow Bastion, so he didn't know exactly where to find this 'World that Never Was' place; the only means of transportation he had was a hoverboard, but that wouldn't do him any good since he didn't know where he was supposed to go. There was also the fact that realms of darkness were very dangerous, and though he had been though many dark realms before, he had never let go of his fear of darkness. Were it not for his desire to record the stories of other suffering souls, the Wanderer would not even bother going to other worlds.
Eventually he did find this world, and now the same thing was happening all over again.
He was wandering.
Wandering.
Looking for a person in a world of nightmarish hell.
Reaching in his black vest, the Wanderer took out a recorder. This recorder was often used to record his thoughts on the current situation, something he could not do so well on pen and paper. That should be saved for after he found Yugi Muto. He pressed the record button and started speaking into it.
"Today is June 13, 2008, 13:08. Subject: Yugi Muto. It has been four days, and still no sign of the subject. I have come to believe that he is either dead or been held captive. In my travels, I noticed a strange object. It looked like a sword in the shape of a key. The key-like sword beared a strange keychain that resembled a mouse. I have reason to believe that there was a great battle that took place here. However, due to lack of evidence, there are no actual conclusions yet. Wander, out"
When he was done, the Wanderer pressed Stop and put the recorder back in his vest. Then he moved forward, hoping to find the subject before it was too late.
"Yugi Muto, your time has come. Now every world shall learn your story and fight the darkness..."
To be continued...Hope it's good so far. If it's not, I'm really sorry. This is my first serious fanfic. Actually, this is my first Fanfic EVER! So flames are accepted, and I will not be mad at you if it's not good. Till next time--Wanderer out!
