Persona: A short story
I see myself standing before me. This clone is staring with yellow glowing eyes. Its expression, a wicked smile. "Who are you?"I demand. The clone starts to talk, it's as if she read my mind. "I am you."
My confused expression thins and swirls into a fierce one, "Who the heck are you!?" I shout with my fist raised high in the air. The clone chuckled and said, "Did you not hear me? How pathetic. I am you." The clone chuckled again, "I'm all you need."
I clinch my fists, but I remain silent and hang my head down low. The clone walks behind me and puts her hand on my shoulder, "I am you and you are me." I smack her hand off my shoulder with a smirk, "I know who you are." A sudden burst of power surround the clone. "Oh you do...Do you!?" The clone transforms
into a shadow.
I reach inside my sleeve and pull out a silver card. "Cogito ergo sum."
A silver light appears from the card and surrounds me. My body suddenly reconstructs. Armor replaces my clothes and a sword appears in my hand. "I am Valkyrie."
In a flash the battle was won, but not over. In the new world the shadows were reborn with a new ability. Shadows are now able to take over a host or shape shift into a someone. The world grew dark, no one was able to trust one another anymore. However, there was a group. A group of persona users working together to stop the shadows.
The persona users were different, unlike past generations these persona users could fuse. Fusion, the ability for two bodies to combine and form one. In this case the persona and the user could fuse creating the perfect warrior, but was it really enough to stop the shadows? You'll just have to find out.
"Per...So...Na...!"
