PROLOGUE (AGE ?)
You know how they say moments before your death, your life flashes before you eyes? Well who ever came up with that must have been lying. Maybe I'm a special case, but as I face the on-coming light, only a few seconds until I meet my death, I can't help but wander who came up with that whole "Flashing before your eyes," saying. Apparently time seems to go much slower when know you are about to die. Funny, I remember performing many trials in my past but they all ended up failing. But I'm getting off topic, like I mentioned earlier, I only have a few seconds to live, and instead of having my life flash before my eyes, I'm seeing it at a much slower pace, all the way from the very beginning.
(AGE 0)
All is dark around me, I try moving around but there seems to be little space around me. My body starts growing restless from the tight space, so I begin to moving more, trying to find any possible escape from this dark surrounding. I suddenly hear strange sounds, I stop to focus more on the new noise. Everything sounded muffled, mostly due to this darkness that has entrapped me, but now I'm more determined to break free. I shake my body more and more until suddenly small crack breaks the darkness, letting in a pinch of light. I take a moment to examine the light, curious but also afraid. The muffled noise I heard before was a bit more clear. Funny how seeing my entire life play out I can actually understand what others were saying.
"Look! A crack! I can't believe its finally happening!" The voice shouted out with glee. From the sound of it, it belonged to a male.
"I know you are excited, I am too. But can you keep the shouting down to a minimum, last thing we want to do is scare him." This one spoke sternly to the other, but I also detect a hint of sincerity in the female's voice.
Hearing these new voices gives just makes me more determined to break free. I start shoving against the crack, and with every shove the crack grows bigger and bigger, creating new cracks along the way. I give one final shove, causing my entire world to shatter. No longer was I surrounded by darkness, or by the multiple cracks. Now I'm in a whole new world. I try to take in my new surroundings, but that once small light is everywhere, hurting my eyes. I begin to panic, closing my eyes, wanting nothing more than to go back to the safety of the dark space. But then I fell a warm embrace as soft fur surround me.
With a soothing tone, the voice from earlier whispers to my ear, "Shh little one, you are safe." From the sound of her voice and from her loving embrace, my body starts to calm down.
"Heh, guess you were right. But aren't absols supposed to have a horn? Where's his?" I felt a gentle rub against my head.
"Not when we hatch. It grows as we age until we reach a mature age."
It was at this moment when I start to open my eyes slowly, wanting to finally see who these voices were. At first, everything is blurry, but soon my eyes begin to adjust and everything around me starts to get clear. Crouching in front of me is a creature with black and gray fur, with a few red markings near his mouth and eyes. Their blue eyes watches over me with pride and care. I then turn to face the other creature that had embraced me with their fur earlier. Most of her body was covered in white fur, except for their dark face and large black scythe-like horn on the side of her head. Now that I've finally got to look at the two voices, my body starts to get drowsy as I let out a yawn. I lay my head against the soft white fur, only catching the last few words from the two voices.
"Do you still want to name him after my grandfather?" The dark furred creature spoke looking at the other for confirmation.
"Yes. he will be named Dusk."
Huh, well I wasn't expecting Dusk. Sorry, its just that I haven't gone by Dusk for a long time, I actually kinda forgot about it. Anyways, we are going to stop there for now, considering that we are going to be learning of my entire life, there is no way we can all that information into one chapter. Hope you all enjoyed this little beginning. If you have any questions, go ahead and leave them in the review box and I'll answer them in the next chapter. Until next time.
