Dark Mist: The reason I'm writing this is because I had a fight with Lance and I was demanded to write a story about my background, so here it is. Also keep in mind this is the first thing I've ever written, so if anyone dares laugh I will personally rip out their throats and-
Me: I'll stop him there to spare you the details. (He can get pretty descriptive and violent sometimes, so...)
Dark Mist: Also keep in mind I'm only a child in this, so don't be surprised if I seem different at first.
Silence.
Everything around me was dark and quiet. I couldn't see or move at all. It was kinda like being in a coma except I was completely conscious. Not that I really know what it's like to be in a coma. The only thing I really know is this blackness around me. I'm not even sure how long I've been in existence. Could have been 1 hour or maybe a thousand years.
The nothingness was honestly almost maddening. It was torture to be awake yet unable to do anything or even know where you are. I don't even know much about myself.
Only that I don't know how much longer I can stay here like this and my name, which is Dark Mist by the way.
So I waited longer...and longer, but nothing happened.
I returned my thoughts back to trying to remember something, anything, about myself or any other subject. I just wanted to remember, to know I have some sort of memories of a person, place, or an object.
But sadly, nothing ever came to me and the eternal darkness stretched on forever more just as the endless passing time did.
Having given up hope of memories, I began wondering what I could do.
Without a body or anything other than my thoughts, those options were pretty limited.
Maybe I am in a coma after all. But that really didn't explain the memory loss.
Perhaps I'm trapped somewhere? It seemed possible as well, but why can't I move or feel anything or even see?
Was this just a nightmare? Why haven't I woken up yet? Would I ever?
I sighed, knowing I was looking for answers I could never find on my own.
I decided to just stop thinking, since it was fruitless anyway.
Another uncountable amount of time passed and my earlier curiosity had started morphing into uneasiness, and soon, even sheer panic. Eventually all the feelings just drained out of my mind, only to be replaced with frustration shortly after.
But, of course, there wasn't much I could do about being frustrated. This was really getting tiring, for I was just going in a repetitive circle of thoughts and was getting nowhere or having anything useful being accomplished.
I finally was able to put my thoughts to rest and just focus on nothing, which was honestly much better than constantly trying to come up with answers that I could never prove.
Even more slowly passing time went by, until finally something happened.
There was a light somewhere in front of me and I could actually see for the first time in my entire existence, though I couldn't make out what was past the bright light.
Then I noticed the light was getting bigger and brighter, closer even.
I wasn't sure if I should be over-joyed or terrified, but there wasn't much I could do to escape it, so I simply watched it get closer until I had to close my eyes due to the intensity of the glow.
I must have passed out because the next thing I know, I staring at, well, something. Hey, I'm seeing for the first time, so cut me some slack, okay? I don't know what anything is really, at least not by sight.
When I finally got myself oriented, I noticed I had a body, unlike I ever before. It was humanoid with black skin and green crystals.
It took another minute or two to get used to how to move my muscles and even longer before I could sit up.
Then I heard something, which is something else I've never experienced.
I quickly looked around the room, looking for a hiding spot. I saw a large blue crystal and tried to run to hide behind it, but collapsed on the ground. I still wasn't used to
having a body. I managed to stagger the rest of the way over before the person came into the room.
It was a female, who was a good deal taller than me. She didn't seem too threatening, but I wasn't about to take any chances in case I was wrong, especially since I still could barely stand.
She stopped when she saw I wasn't where I had woken up, which is where I suppose this person must have left me while they were away.
But how did she find me? Where had I been?
I scooted back further into cover behind the crystal as she started searching the room.
She started getting closer to my hiding spot and I started panicking.
That's when she caught sight of me.
"There you are. I've been looking all over for you." She said, while smiling sweetly, but I knew she could be faking kindness.
I scooted back into cover again, and stared at her dis-trustingly.
"It's alright. I won't hurt you. You can come out." She said, then added, "My name's Ena, what's yours?"
"Dark Mist..." I replied hesitantly.
She stood back out of the way a little, trying to show I could come out from behind the crystal. I carefully edged closer to her and away from the safety of my hiding spot.
She seemed pleased with this and smiled kindly at me again. "See? I won't hurt you."
I nodded slowly and started looking around the room, since I hadn't had much of an opportunity to do this earlier.
"Now, you stay here and I'll be right back." Ena said, then went to the door and shut it behind her, leaving me alone in the room.
I went over to the spot I'd been in when I first woke up and sat down, waiting for her to come back after she did who-knows-what.
Dark Mist: Ta da. First chapter. Yay. I'm so going to kill Lance for this later...
Me: Dark Mist, cheer up. You did good. And if you kill Lance, I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life, got it?
Dark Mist: Yeah, yeah. Whatever...
