I wake up with four others in a patch of blood red poppies. I immediately get up, feeling the crunch of the flowers underneath my shoe. It feels good. I walk forward to find three girls following me. "Who the hell are you three?" I ask. They introduce themselves as Ava, Lily, and Leviathan. "Oh. Well, are we gonna try and get outta here, or not?"
They continue following me until we meet a silver flower alone in a field. "Hiya! I'm Silver, Silver the Flower! You're new to this place, aren'tcha? Well, it's a good thing you have me to be your friend and show you around!" A little red heart with a piece missing appears as the world goes black. "This is your SOUL! It's got a piece missing, but that's okay!" Her voice echoes throughout the inky blackness."Your SOUL is the very culmination of your being, so it's very important to protect it and make it grow strong! How do you make it grow strong? Why, LOVE, of course!" Suddenly bullets surround my heart thingy and begin to move toward it. "Down here, LOVE is shared through little..white..friendliness pellets!" I move to dodge them as she tells me to catch them. "No, you're supposed to catch them! Here, try again!" More bullets and I dodge again. "Uh...try again, little buddy!" She throws more bullets at me and I dodge them yet again. She laughs dryly as her expression changes to that of a demonic figure. " HEE HEE...You know what's going on here, don't you? You just wanted to see me SUFFER." She encloses me in a circle of bullets and I panic. "DIE." She laughs maniacally as the bullets near my SOUL.
Suddenly, the bullets are stopped, and a fireball hits Silver and knocks her away. "What a wretched creature, torturing such poor, innocent youth. Ah, do not be afraid, my children. I am Faryn, keeper of the Ruins." The others make to follow her, almost leaving me behind. Ava asks me my name. "Hmm. I don't think I have one," I reply. " Just call me...Geno." "Alright then, Geno. How did you get here?" She asks. "Jumped down a hole." I reply. "You jumped? You didn't fall?" She asks another question. "Nope. I jumped."
A day passes and the others worry about my temper as I pester Faryn on how to leave the Ruins. "Go to your room, Geno." Who does this woman think she is? "I'm not a kid, and I want to get out of here! Just tell me how!" She stands up and walks away. I follow her to a door. "This door is the exit to the Ruins. I am going to destroy it. Do not try to stop me." I stay where I am as the others come down to where I am. "Hmf. You are just like the others. You want to leave so badly? Prove it. Prove to me you are strong enough to survive." Fireballs form around her and my SOUL is thrust into battle.
