I… don't remember who I really, am, nor do I remember my name. It started with a T… Tak… Tsu… it's no luck. For now, you can call me Tanken.
For months, my mind has been solely focused on two people in my life… but… I was so focused on their safety… their names have escaped my mind at this. How long has it been? 2 years? 3, 4? I don't even know.
I had killed people when they confronted us- but after a while, they were scared of me, they ran away from me. Why? I was just trying to keep them safe. I haven't seen them in months.
I don't even remember… how this all started.
No- no it's coming back to me. It's foggy, but I can make it out.
We were orphans, and at the orphanage, I made two friends. I know one was a boy around my age, and the other was a girl much younger than me. I believe her house burned down- and took her family with it.
But what confuses me more… is how we got here, to this 'new world'. It's the only thing from those days that is burned and ingrained into my mind.
My friend, he approached me with a book, or comic, or something. It seemed innocent, but I have nightmares about the cover. It was a boy, a young one, and he was just… so happy. I don't quite remember the name, it started with a 'D'.
When I sat down to read it with my friends, and I turned to the first page, I got a paper cut on my thumb, and by that point, I believe our fate was sealed. The world, the entire planet just… shifted around us. I don't quite know what happened, but if I had to guess I'd say we're in the world in that book.
No, that's not quite accurate. I'd say that it took aspects from the book and made a new world with it.
...What am I doing? I don't have time to sit here lost in my thoughts. I need to get back to looking for them.
