Prologue

Waking up

Darkness, it was the first thing I remember. It was always dark and it was cold for as long as I could remember. I don't know if I had a name, if I had one in the first place. I've wondered around here a while now. How long you may ask? I don't know. It was until I heard him…

Wake up...

"Who's there?"

Those two words I would ask over and over but silence would be the only answer I'd receive. So here I am again for what I don't know what to do, so I walk, walk in this pathless world, slowly and silently. As if there wasn't anything else to do in the first place.

Am I going to cry? Am I going to smile? What are these emotions that I have? I can't understand... Such thing is not needed where I am, as is this heart I have. I can hear it beating slowly and softly but that is all it is for- To keep me alive. There is nothing that overlooks it.

There was nothing for what I could remember from that time as there are now. I was trapped like a bird in a cage, never to be freed. No visitors and nothing to do so I turn and walk away. For now, all I could do was close my eyes and walk away, ripples left behind where I once stepped and then everything just…

Come on, wake up please...

I hear that voice again; it's calling me but where?

I'm right here...

I felt something hovering over when I saw two white lights spit the darkness in half, opening my eyes to a grayish ceiling. Sitting up onto my knees, I circled my arms around my bear chest and looked straight ahead. I was at the end of a very long, dimly lit chamber. Towering stone pillars entwined with dark green vines made of stone rose to support the ceiling lost in the darkness, casting long, black shadows.

The only noise was from the bright green flames that were on each pillar that made the long, black shadows. I tied to stand. Keyword tried, and failed big time, falling down to my knees and hands. I was looking down at my reflection with blank red eyes staring back up at me with a small nose and thin lips. Long sliver hair fell around me and spilled across the floor. My pale-skinned body was bare as a baby's bottom except for a black choker wrapped around my neck with a miniature skull dangling from it. Whatever a baby was...

I looked up when I heard a creek, seeing the dark cerulean colored door open as a man through, closing it behind him. He was a lean man with long gray hair that comprises a few braids throughout, which was part in the middle to show bright yellow green eyes framed by square, silver-framed glasses, . He wore a black rode under a black trench coat.

He sauntered towards me and loomed over me when he stopped in front then bent down on his left knee. Rising a hand that had extensive black fingernails, he cupped my face and turned it slowly to right then left as if he was inspecting my face.

"You are finally awake I see. How are you feeling?" He said, his voice was soft but firm.

I stared straight into his eyes, whispering, "Cold..." He took of his coat, the back flying around until it settled around me, covering my naked body.

"Better?" He asked. I nodded, then frowned. Who was he?

"My name is Undertaker," Undertaker said as if he knew what I was thinking. Then he stood up and stuck out his hand, "Come."

I looked at the black finger-nailed hand for a second, then slowly inched mine into his. He pulled me up onto my feet; I stood face to chest as my hair fell down to straight to waist-level, the coat fell to the ground as it was bigger than I was. When suddenly, my knees caved in and fell but only to be caught by him.

He chuckled, "I see you still can't walk yet." Then put arm around my shoulder blades and the other under my knees and lifted me easily into him arms. "Rest," he whispered into my ear, "you've been through a lot and when you wake up I'll be there with you."

I nodded, my body going limp. "Name..." I murmured as my eyes starting to close.

"Ah, a name," Undertaker said. I started to drift to sleep when I caught his voice distantly say, "Your name is Shi."
