Looking for You in the Sky
Vocaloids gone missing…
Second Absence: Where Miku Went
Everyone has their place. The place where they belong, where they fit in. The place which they shall always seek until the dream of attainment is accomplished. Rarely is this ever so.
The teal-haired girl… Hatsune Miku was her name. For so long, she didn't believe dreams were real. She who could not sleep. She who supposedly didn't wish or want or dream. Gradually, this belief faded into the depths of her subconscious, disappearing from her mind, supposedly once and for all. She was wrapped in happiness and real smiles, rather than the ones she had once plastered on her face for the whims of her creators. No longer had she had to squeeze her eyes shut to keep out the tears as she sang. She had been happy, a word she'd never thought she'd achieve.
She had believed her place had been found amongst the others. She had been content and satisfied with her new life, all fears quelled by her friends.
One day, Miku disappeared… and never came back.
"The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" as her creators called it. Her career had reached its peak. She could no longer climb any further, they believed. It was time to turn her off. Delete her program. She was just an artificial voice, after all. She wasn't real. Just a figment of their imaginations. There would be no payment for losing her, other than outrage from her fans, which would quell with time as they turned their attentions to the newer rising stars. The newer vocaloids. That was their plan.
Miku wrote a song, as she was told, for the occasion, her spirits gradually sinking. She knew that once they turned her program off, she wouldn't be able to see her friends anymore. Old fears crept up. She feared she would be alone in a dark place once again. She didn't want to return to that place…
She disappeared. She ran away to a place no one could find her, she was sure. She didn't know why she ran. All those years of silent servitude to the vocaloid creators, all alone… When her friends had been created, she had felt hope and happiness. Why had she run away? Wasn't to be turned off like death and she would go to a place where all dreams came true? Now she was alone once more, lost in the darkness… Why had she run? She just couldn't fathom it.
Her new home. It was dark. Cold. Silent. Hollow. Lonely… Every little sound she made would echo. It would bounce back to her just like before the others were created. So lonely, indeed… Her place had been lost. She was all alone once again.
Wandering amongst the darkness, gradually, she noticed something. The silence. It wasn't truly silent. There was this constant thrumming, a rushing wave of some sort that echoed and bounced off the nonexistent walls just like her voice. Only it wasn't her steps or voice which created this sound. It was something entirely different.
Light. It was the first thing she noticed as she came upon the source. It flooded the area, revealing the stone beneath her feet not to be black, but almost blue. It was beautiful and entrancing. She spun around in a circle, her dress flitting and spinning like feathers or petals with her long teal hair, just like before. Here, her voice did not echo as she sang. The raging waters far below absorbed it like a crowd would. She didn't feel so alone anymore.
A beast silently stalked her, shadowing her every step. When she finally came upon the place where light dwelt, it took its chance. It couldn't have her encroaching on its paradise. It would make her a part of it instead, it decided as her heavenly voice graced the icy-blue cavern.
She was so beautiful. Her long, black dress stretched out behind her, the front shorter to allow movement as she danced upon the rocks. Her teal hair danced in the air with her, the red and black ribbons complimenting her lovely locks. She held a strange staff in hand, but it considered the staff to be of no threat. Just a decoration for her outfit. The beast was slightly put out by the mask she wore which hid her identity, but even if it had not been there and the beast could see her face, it wouldn't have made a difference. It wouldn't have known who she was, for it had always remained within this massive cavern. The one crafted of icy-blue stone with towering crystals as its only source of light, water rushing down below.
Its decision was set. This girl would be its possession.
Ironic as this decision was. She had run away to escape her servitude to those humans, only to arrive her and become this beast's possession.
Was she never to escape her fate? As a possession. A thing. No matter where she went, nothing but this future awaited her, it seemed. No, that was wrong. There had been a time… a time of happiness among her friends. But she had left them, so they were no longer there to quell her fears, for she was all alone again.
She disappeared.
A/N
There, I made a longer one *smug expression*. *looks over to see how many pages and then frowns* Okay, a bit longer. Guess it wasn't as much as I thought…
Um, I don't have too much of a plot. Just a basic idea going here spun totally on a whim after watching "Looking for You in the Sky", part one of the Synchronicity trilogy. You really would have to watch it to picture lots of this stuff. The cave for instance. And Miku's dress. The beast, too. I guess I'm following that video a lot closer than I thought… but it seems this also has aspects of "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku", as well, so it's a compilation of Miku's songs. *thoughtful* Maybe I'll incorporate "Love is War", later on… Should I? Oh, and I've put in a bit of "Joker", I just realized. While watching the video again, I realized she wasn't wearing a mask and I was just imagining the one from the "Joker" video, so you should watch that, too^^
Thoughts? Comments?? Confusion??? I'm open to your thoughts and ideas and would love to hear from you guys on how my story's going so far, so please review
