Chain of Fate – Link 1: The Realm Between Existences
"Wh... Where am I...?"
There was nothing in the space... It was just a white void that went on forever... In the middle... Reiki Shutuagi was on the ground, nearly lifeless. She was just waking up. Reiki couldn't remember any of what happened. Something just happened one moment and then the next moment she was here in this void...
"Wh... What is this place...?" Reiki moaned again as she looked up in the white void. She couldn't see anything and it all just went on forever... For what it seemed, at least...
"Where in the world am I...?" Reiki half screamed as she jumped up into the air. She landed back on her feet and started looking around her. She was looking for some kind of exit, way to go, or just something besides this white void of nothingness...
Reiki looked around her again and then there was a flash of purple light right in front of her. Reiki blinked as a figure took it's form right in front of her...
"Hello... My Mistress..." A Voice said as the figure appeared. Reiki looked on at the figure. It was a woman who had nice, long hair in a brown shade. The end of her hair as lined with a dark violet color. Her hair was also spiked where her bangs are and stick up high into the air. She was wearing this weird Ancient Armor she always wears. And she had wings shaped like a Dragon's. They were thin and a dark violet in color...
"Oh... Outaku..." Reiki said in her unusual and hardly used soft voice.
The Spirit was floating tall and high above Reiki. She was the Spirit known as Outaku of the Destiny. Or, the person who saved Ancient Aludria thousands of years ago...
"Mistress. Do you know where we are this moment?" Outaku asked as she floated down to near Reiki's level.
"No... Do you?" Reiki asked right back.
"Yes..." Outaku answered, looking away.
"Then where are we?" Reiki asked again.
Outaku looked around in the white void that was the place... Before finally answering, "This is the Endless Eternia. It is an Endless Void between Existences. Between Realities."
"I don't understand..." Reiki was very confused.
"In what way was it very confusing?" Outaku complained in annoyance to Reiki being confused. "This Place exists in between Life and Death. The Accident almost caused your Death."
"What?" Reiki screamed in shock. She immediately backed up, scared.
Outaku let out a sigh and continued, "The only reason that you are here, is because your existence hasn't decided to pass onto the Afterlife yet. Your Soul still exists in the Living World, but is extremely weakened. If certain circumstances aren't met, your Mind, what you are now, will not return to the Living World. It will pass on to the Afterlife."
Reiki was still in shock and then asked, a little more comforted, "Am I still Alive, as say a Medical Machine would say?"
"Yes. As your friends could sense your pulse, you are still alive in the Living World. Your body is inactive and in a coma from what happened as a condition. Your friends are waiting for your return to them," Outaku answered with that explanation.
Reiki almost started crying because she was worried for all of her friends. She then asked, "...How do I return to the Living World...?"
Outaku answered with, "Build the Chain."
"What are you speaking of?" Reiki asked, confused again.
"The Chain of Fate. It is a Chain that you build through your connection with your friends Once you complete it; complete a true friendship with all of your friends, and you will be able to change Fate and return to the Living World," Outaku explained. "You will be able to return from this place, the Realm between existence."
"But... How do I build Bonds with my Friends...? Because I am not conscious in that World..." Reiki asked with some concern in her voice.
"I have the Ability to put you in an alternate Universe, but it's completely parallel with our Universe. The only two that will have any real existence there an doesn't really exist here, will be you and the one person of your choosing. You will have time to be with that person and build a better relationship and then you will move on to the next person until you have made a better relationship with all of your friends..." Outaku explained in full.
Reiki looked down at the white ground of the Void. She then looked back up and said to Outaku, "Okay... Who is first for me...?"
"Let's see... The one you currently have the worse Relationship with, Richter Abend," Outaku said after putting thought into who would be first...
"I have the worse Relationship with... Is Richter? Wait, why Relationship? You better say Friendship because of Friends like Michiri and Kotoko!" Reiki complained loudly.
Outaku let out a sigh and said "I am very sorry, Mistress. But, yes. As I've scanned through your traveling so far, you seem to get along with him the least compared to everyone else."
"What about you...?" Reiki asked.
"Your Link with me is already complete. That is the Basis of your Chain. Look..." Outaku put her hand out and a piece of chain appeared above it. The chain was hovering.
"Ooooh..." Reiki said as she was examining the piece.
"Good luck, my Mistress..." Outaku said as she held her hand out.
"Until I'm finished... Outaku..." Reiki said with a smile as Outaku teleported her to the alternative Universe.
"I hope you do well with your friends... Everyone and everything needs you in the Living World..." Outaku said to herself as Reiki teleported away from the White Void...
Author's Note: This is a kind of short FanFiction (compared to how long everything else will be...) I plan on this being my first finished FF too. It is also my first FanFiction completely focused on the Relationship of Characters (or as Reiki says Friendship, XD). Till next chapter.
