Prologue
8.2.2002 12:00:47
Eike sits on his bed, folding his laundry. He starts folding a pair of old pants that he hardly wears anymore. As he turns them upside down, a small black book falls out of the pants, landing with a light thunk on the floor. Eike picks up the book. It has a strange white pentagram on the cover.
"Ugh! Please don't shove that near me. I… I don't like that symbol on the cover." Homunculus exclaimed, backing away from the book.
"What, this? You don't like this pentagram kind of thing?... You're a little strange," said Eike.
"Well of coarse I am. In any case, I know the contents of that book…"
Eike shudders from the memory. Throughout the past six months he had tried to forget that one horribly long day when he was put to the task of preventing his own murder. He had been given a time traveling device known as the Digipad by a strange humanoid creature called Homunculus. He had endured death after death, and resurrection after resurrection trying to remove the underlying cause of his death. He had gone to foreign times that he had never imagined seeing with his own two eyes. In the end, he figured out that the Homunculus had only been using Eike to ensure his own birth. These were not Eike's most treasured memories.
His eyes are drawn to the window as he sees a red flash out of the corner of his eye. He sees a dog. Then, suddenly, it disappears. He stands from his bed, alarmed. Another red flash appears next to him. He jumps, and backs away from it. The old green jacket on his bed, which was in close proximity to the bright red light, vanishes. He starts to run away from his room, not really sure where he will go. He is only acting on his instincts that something's wrong and he should run away from it. Another bright red spark appears right in front of him. He tries to stop, but the momentum pushes him into the focal point of the red glow. He yelps as he falls victim to a strange feeling all over his body that reminds him so clearly of the strange events of that one ill fated day half a year ago. He nearly believes that it is that very day all over again. His vision goes black.
