And so it begins; my first LokiXOC story. (Well, technically, the OC is me, but still...) I was nervous about actually posting this, but I decided "Oh, what the hell~" Hopefully, the more chapters I submit, the more positive feedbacks I can receive.
I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. It's four in the morning. Without further adieu, here is the first chapter. Not much happens at first, but I hope to pick that up in future chapters.
A sole object lit up the dark world. It was the dead of night, and armored men with guns patrolled the area. However, I was drawn to the tent that the soldiers surrounded. Security was more tight inside. They all seemed to circle... a hammer? It was not the type of hammer that people use on nails, but more of the sort that nerds used for their role-playing games.
For some strange reason, it was this hammer that I was being drawn to. I cannot explain precisely why. I simply had the urge to walk towards this direction. All of the steps that I have taken to get here is more than the steps I would take in a week. Honestly, I am not a very active person whatsoever; why are my feet not cramping at this point?
Anyhow, back to the hammer. Why is it sitting handle-up in the dirt, as though it's been stuck there for some time? Are these FBI-esque people guarding it? Now that I thought about it, the entire place seemed to be built around this weapon. Why would I be drawn to something under the watch of the government, and how has no one spotted me yet?
As I stood outside the entrance, my eyes were glued on the object of interest. Just something about it seemed intriguing, like a book. It might have a pretty cover, but there was something deeper on the pages inside. However, it would seem that the hammer was not even my objective, but the story that followed it.
Someone stood in front of the hammer, preventing me from staring at it any longer. Instead, I stared at the man. The details were a bit hazy, but he seemed to be some sort of businessman from behind. The man stared down at the hammer, presumably studying it. I assumed that he was one of the government people, but for some odd reason, he seemed to be out of place. He attempted to pick up the hammer, but it stayed in place, as though it was one with the earth. Then again, the man was rather scrawny, so he probably was not used to picking anything up half his own weight.
It took me a moment to realize that the man was staring back at me. He seemed surprised, and that only surprised me in return, since he was the first and only person in that place to realize that I was there. Feeling completely on the spot, I slowly backed away, unsure of what to do.
"How can you see me?"
I was startled by the voice. Turning around, I found that the man was behind me. I did not feel like I was completely there, for I could not remember that much details of him, despite being a couple of feet away from him. He had dark hair that almost blended in with the night, and he had eyes that seemed to be a bright turquoise color, but that was all that I was able to register.
"Hehe... Sorry sir," I nervously chuckled, feeling like an inebriated fool. "I didn't mean to stare like that. I don't even know where... what I'm doing... doing here..." Feeling exhausted, I heard a faint siren in the distance. Wait, that was not a siren, but a bell...? No, wait... "An alarm...?" I mumbled, lazily staring up at the sky.
"Sorry? What alarm?" the man asked, but I did not bother responding as I came to a realization.
"Oh, I get it now..." I murmured. "This is all a d-"
Before I could finish my statement, the alarm had dragged me back to reality. Feeling groggy, I reached over to slap the box that blazed bright numbers into my eyes.
Of course it was a dream. Even so, it was one of those that felt real. What happened in it again? It was nighttime, there was a tent, and in it was... a hammer, yeah, and it was stuck in the ground like Excalibur. Something else was there, but the memory was already fading away.
Oh well, I did not have time to think too hard about it. Today was another day, and I had to get up to attend to it.
