Hooray! My first full-length story! Yes, this going to be my first story that's not a one-shot. And I'm excited! So, this is just the prologue, but still!
And just letting everyone know now: This prologue is set in an OC's P.O.V. If you've been to my profile, you'll know who I'm talking about. If not, go now or wait a little bit.
Now, here we go! The prologue awaits!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where am I? That was among the many questions that I asked myself. Is this real, or just a dream? It didn't feel like a dream, but it still seemed like one. But I'm just contradicting myself.
See, I was just in my room one night. I was supposed to be sleeping, but I couldn't. Then, I just saw this silver light – coming out of my Nintendo Gamecube, of all things! – And I fell asleep… at least, I think it was sleep.
I dared to open my eyes to a narrow slit. They flew right open when I realized there was nothing but darkness. I didn't even know whether I was standing or laying on something – or if there was even anything there at all!
Wait…everything's disappeared…including me!
I looked around, but there was nothing but the darkness. Then, there was another silver light, though not as bright or as big as before. Well, what I mean is this light was tolerable to the eyes, but the one in my room was blinding. Hang on, I'm rambling again.
When the light cleared, I saw small, silver puddle before me, and there were many silhouettes all around. Ghosts!
I panicked on the inside. Was I having a nightmare? But then, there was a voice. It seemed to be many voices, yet it was clear at the same time.
"Do not be afraid." I wanted to retort, but I knew that if they meant no harm, then I would be disrespecting them. I forced myself to relax as the voice continued.
"Look in the water." I was sure they meant the small puddle before my eyes. I peered into the water and saw many stars, and then a huge plot of land, big as dozens of countries. The voice went on,
"The lands you see are in grave danger."
"Danger?" I echoed. "But I don't recognize these lands! What do they have to do with me?"
"If you were to look into the pool, you would find that they truly mean everything to you."
I did as the many Spirits told. My mouth dropped open as I saw many familiar things…
A small town, with many Toads and Koopa Troopas going about their own business…
A cheerful market town, not too far from a castle…
An immense spaceship, with several smaller, blue-and-silver ships emerging from it…
A crowd, watching a race of many machines, rushing by faster than I could blink…
A mountain that never seemed to end…
And that's not even half of it! But knew I was gazing down upon the Realms of Nintendo.
"Where… am I?" I gasped. The Spirits continued:
"Thirty-one heroes are to defeat manipulating Hands and a tyrannical beast… You are to meet nineteen of them near the heart of Nintendo City."
My mouth dropped again. Hands? Tyrannical beast? Nintendo City!?
"I don't understand! Where is Nintendo City?"
The Spirits did not respond. I just saw the silver light beginning to envelope me, and the Spirits began to fade. But, in their stead, I heard maniacal laughter. I recognized it, but I wasn't sure from where. I called for the Spirits, but the laughing grew louder. I screamed and called again. The laughing grew louder still. I continued my feeble attempts until even if they were listening, they could not have heard…
The light disappeared, the laughter faded, and all was darkness again…
