Pain….. Darkness….Nothing…..
Consciousness started returning to me and with it dozens of questions. Who was I? Were am I? What happened? How did I got here?
I opened my eyes and I looked around myself, feeling the cold touch of fear and a ball of ice forming in my stomach.
Everywhere I looked was only darkness, pure and utter darkness. I could barely see my own hands. I felt that the environment around me was cold and it seemed to be getting only colder as I stayed more in there.
Then ought of nowhere a light appeared in the distance, right in front of me. Something inside me screamed to me to go to it ,and I listened to it as I started walking toward the light, my walk turning in no time to a full out sprint , running as fast as I could towards the light .As I ran faster so did the light started getting more distant and I started getting more tired by the passing moment. I ran I don't know how much , until I fell down tired and unable to move any further.
Then, ought of nowhere I started feeling warm , I couldn't tell why. And warm remained as I passed out.
I started feeling my body , as I started regaining conciseness. I was feeling like I was being laid on the ground and the temperature around me was no longer that cold. I opened my eyes and I took a look, around me were trees and other types of vegetation.
I got on my feet and I started looking around as , all of the sudden memories appeared in my mind.
My name was Ralph Manes, I was an 19 years old, I was a short with a round face and glasses ,I had brown hair witch I kept short. I wasn't tall and I wasn't neither fat , neither thin more like something in between . I wasn't a handsome guy , but I had a friendly ,pleasant personality and I was a Starcraft fan. I ,different by others , found the story in Starcraft 2 WOL and HOTS good and I enjoyed it greatly and personally I liked very much the campaigns.
Looking around me, I couldn't stop from noticing that the trees seemed to be bigger then they normally should be. I closed my eyes ,I took a deep breath and ought of nowhere I saw the following:
Patriarch Status: Active
Swarm Status: Hibernating
Requirements for Awakening: Hatchery
Swarm Mind advise: Find the Hibernating zerg Bio-organisms from this forest.
I opened my eyes with a gasp. 'WTF was that?'
A part of me answered calmly that I should find the zerg .Was I mad or something ?Zerg were a fictional race. They DIDN'T exist.
I closed my eyes again and this time I saw:
Patriarch Abilities :Kinetic Blast; energy cost : 25en
Crushing Grip; energy cost: 25en
Regeneration; energy cost : depends on the injury
Patriarch Resources:
Energy: 200en
Nutrients: 400nut
Energy regeneration:10 en per 5 minutes.
Nutrient Generation:0
Hatcheries:0
Drones:0
Allies:0
OK, this is completely "normal" and I am officially mad.
I turned myself towards my left , I pointed my hand towards a tree and I thought and concentrated on my supposed ability, Kinetic Blast, and the unthinkable happened .The tree at witch I pointed exploded in the middle exactly where I was pointing.
The shook did freeze me there( I was lucky that the tree didn't fell in my direction).
So I wasn't mad. I have to find these zerg then, but how? A part of my mind answered simply saying that I was capable to fell them.
I closed my eyes again and this time I tried to feel them. Immediately I knew were the zerg were. They weren't far from here neither, I had to walk 3 kilometers towards Nord-West and I would find them in…a forest clearing burrowed in the ground. I guess I will be able to feel them.
'Yea, OK ,I can do this shit.' I muttered to myself as I started to walk in that direction.
30 minutes latter.
I Stop as I start hearing some strange sounds. I look around me carefully. I had the feeling that someone or something has been following me for the last 10-15minutes and until know I thought it was my imagination, but now I was certain that it wasn't.
"Show yourself. I know you are following me."I said calmly, as I prepared myself, in case they were going to attack me.
In thee instant I turned around ,something jumped on me putting me to the ground. I raised my hand in front of my face, out of instinct and the thing that jumped me dived it's teeth in my raised arm.
The thing that jumped me was a wolf with black fur and big teeth, but unlike those I saw on TV, it was as big as an lion. In the moment when it jumped me , he bitten a big chunk of my arm.
A wall of pain hit me in the arm. I activated my healing ability, hoping to trap the creature's head in a immobile position , which with some luck I could hit it with an Kinetic Blast.
The creature tried to remove his teeth from my arm trying to liberate himself, but he couldn't , for now and that allowed me to put my free hand on his head. In the instant I putted my hand on his head , I concentrated all my power in one Kinetic Blast , making his head explode. That made the body of the beasts to fall on me.
I swore under my breath as I pushed the body of me. I got back on my feet and I immediately started to examine my hand. What surprised was : 1 the fact that several teeth belonging to the now dead beast were still in my arm, 2 the fact that not only my arm seemed to have healed around the teeth but I didn't feel any pain in it anymore and 3what the hell was that? Are wolfs normally that big? I don't think so. Was it a mutant wolf? I don't know. One more reason why I should try and find the zerg faster.
