Crystality: A hero, Chapter 1
I do not know who I am, or where I came from. I don't have any memories of my life, but I do remember something. One thing. But it is not clear, and yet I have much more to get back. I went into a dungeon and I found... A treasure. When I came out, I appeared here, suddenly, without my treasure.
A man lay on the hard scaled ground, apparently unconscious. Some blue splodges of liquid began to move, and disappeared inside the man's clothing. Slowly, drifting out of the unconscious side, he opened his brown eyes, his maroon hair such a mess even when tied up in a bandanna. He looked around and scratched his head. He didn't know anything, not even his own name! The place he wasn't familiar to, yet he was there. An arch caught his sight; of what was an entrance to… a place. He got up and walked over to it.
As the man entered what looked like a free field, he smelt the bloomy cherry blossom petals among the arch. He saw the presence of pink, cream, red, and purple swirling and dancing like ribbons being waved in the sky. What's more, he saw a girl sitting peacefully on a bench. It seemed a bit like she was humming, but she looked up in the sky to something interesting. However, she wasn't looking to the cherry petals, for she let them stick onto her hair.
The man walked over in a tiptoe, hoping he would not scare her. But even so, the petals scattered on the ground did not help. They made rustling sounds so loud even the birds flew away. But the girl didn't care. She kept on beaming up to the sky, humming. He gave up and walked over.
"What are you staring at?" he asked.
She didn't reply. Instead, she pointed up to the sky. Then, he saw a rainbow. It had all the shimmering colours in it, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The rainbows came from two clouds; one pink, one blue. It wasn't so surprising of the colours, though. It was noon-afternoon, and it was Sunday. The sky was orange, pink and peach. The clouds were purple or blue. Only that it was mixed, because there were even orange clouds and a patch, or rather, a blotch of purple in the sky.
"Hmm… eh, who are you? I haven't seen you round here before. Are you a traveler?" The girl suddenly asked.
The man's eyes shot at her and tried to return his memory. Nothing happened. "Well, let's say that I'm not so sure." He replied. The girl giggled, her blue eyes being swished by her purple hair. "Okay… Whatever! If you've got amnesia I'll help you get your memory back. In the meantime, I'll call you Kyle, OK? And my name is Mana, don't get another disease and forget it!" Mana held her tummy, which hurt after laughing so much. "Right. Mana, Kyle. What are you laughing about?" Kyle crossed his arms in curiosity. "It's just that my father… if he sees us he'll think we're newlyweds!"
Just then, before Mana nor Kyle could laugh, they heard loud stomps or footsteps.
