-Zendaya-

I opened my eyes at the sound of a running stream and sat up confused. I looked around to find I was in a meadow of sorts.

What the…?

I wondered as I looked around.

'I was beginning to wonder when you would wake up child.'

A voice said and I whipped around to see a figure in a white cloak standing behind me.

"Ah!"

I screamed as I tried to scramble away from the figure.

'Calm down child, I won't hurt you.'

The figure said and I looked up at it to see it had a woman's figure.

"W-Who are you?"

I asked, trying to keep the fear I felt out of my voice.

'Who I am is up to you to figure out, but that is not what I have brought you here for.'

The figure said, confusing me further. I opened my mouth to ask where I was when the figure spoke again.

'You wish to get away from the pain in your life correct?'

It asked and I blinked in surprise a second before nodding.

'You want to find a way to become stronger.'

The figure continued and I nodded again as I got to my feet.

"Yes."

I said and the figure nodded. I couldn't see it's face, in the hood of the cloak all I saw was a bright light, nothing else.

'Then you will have that chance.'

The figure said and disappeared.

"Wait, what? What do you mean by that? Where'd you go? Hey!"

I called out, but got no answer.

Suddenly, the meadow I was in disappeared and darkness took its place. I suddenly got the sensation of falling and started to get dizzy.

Just what is going on here?

I wondered until I felt a sudden searing pain in the upper part of my right arm. I grabbed my arm, hoping that by holding the spot the pain was in I could stop it, but it only increased. Wondering what was going on, I pushed the sleeve of my t-shirt up only to stare in shock as I watched something being etched into the skin of my arm.

I watched in a state of numbed awe as a word was etched into my skin. It wasn't until the blood started running down my arm and the surprise wore off that I felt the pain again, but I still couldn't take my eyes off my arm. I saw the word when it was finished and realized it was the kanji for one word, Loyalty.

What the hell is going on!?

I wondered, starting to freak out.

'You who wishes to find a place to belong and become stronger, you will get your wish. But in the end will it be what you truly wish for?'

I heard the voice of the cloaked figure, but they were nowhere in sight.

"Stop this! I want to go home!"

I screamed out, but got nothing but silence in return.

I looked around and noticed something below me. I squinted my eyes to try and see what it was and my eyes widened when I realized it was the ground.

I'm going to die!

I thought, starting to panic and looking around for something to stop my rapid decent, but coming up empty. As the ground got closer and closer I started screaming. I brought my arms up to my face and closed my eyes as I braced for impact.
