Surrounded again in a foggy mist, Solo heard that familiar voice calling out to her…
Solo, come nearer… leave that meaningless world behind…
"Who are you? Why do you keep calling me?"
Solo, have you forgotten me?
"Brother? How? You are supposed to be in the hospital?"
Why bother to mingle in a world where no one would accept you? Solo, take my hand, come and join me in this world…
"I…do not understand. Please, brother, tell me what's happening!!"
Solo…
"Brother!! Please don't leave me here alone again!! Brother!!"
"Hey! You over there, wanna join our group?" Solo woke with a start from a trance. A blade master and a sorcerer were staring at her. "Huh? What do you want?"
Solo, they are laughing at you… they are challenging you…
"We…were wonderin.." The two players were turned lifeless by a lightning attack from Solo before they could finish their question. Solo stared emotionlessly at the lifeless forms and dashed off. "What had I done…?!"
Solo, you did not do anything wrong. They started it first. Solo, I can give you the power to do anything you want in this world. Stay here with me.
"Brother… I …do not know what to do."
Solo, come… there is not a person who cares about you except me…
That last sentence hit Solo. "Yes, there is no one else. Brother, just take me away…"
Just then, strong rays of lights engulfed her and she blacked out…
She was in a cave when she awoke. It would have been very dark, if not for a shimmering treasure case in front of her. Cautiously, she walked up to it. As though reacting to her presence, it glowed brighter with her every step. Solo stretched out her hand, but even before she touched it, it opened.
Inside laid an ancient tablet crafted with unknown words. It floated up, and vanished. Rubbing her head wearily, Solo decided that it was time to log out. *Yawn… weird, when did I log in anyway?" She warped out of the cave to the Gate. " I must have really lost it." She muttered.
" Hey! That's the girl!" Someone shouted from behind. Solo turned her head and saw two male players heading towards her, looking furious. A jolt of lighting hit the ground beside her. "Um, what's wrong?" She asked. "What's wrong!?!? Stop acting. After causing the both of us to end up at our last save, you could still ask us 'what's wrong'?" The blade master flung his blade towards her. "You must have got the wrong person! I don't remember doing such a thing!" Solo cried out desperately as she dodged their attacks.
She twinge in pain as the blade brushed past her shoulder. 'Pain? How could I have felt pain?' After a series of fierce attacks, they finally got her cornered. However, before they could any blow, they were again knocked lifeless. This time not by Solo, but a figure in the shadows nears them. "Thank you, but who…are u?" The shadow stepped out, revealing a strange character. A character that was not an option. A few locks of blond, white hair tumbled over his forehead, as he bowed slightly. " I am Eilathen, your guardian."
"My guardian?!?! Okay, I really appreciate your help, but you don't really have to be so corny. If you don't mind, I really have to get going. Bye! " Seeing that Eilathen was still standing there, staring at her, Solo sighed and enter the gate to log out.
Instead of ending up in front of her PC, Solo opened her eyes to find herself back at the same spot. Eilathen's violet eyes were still on her, this time, with a hint of amusement. " There must be something wrong just now." She retorted, and tried logging out again…and again, till she finally gave up. " What's wrong?!?! Why can't I get out of here? " She stared at Eilathen. He was now siting down looking at her. "You now belong to this world. You had accepted it, didn't you?"
"I do not understand…I…" Solo turned her head and started to run, her vision blurred as warm tears sprung to her eyes. She bumped into Eilathen, who had somehow managed to get in front of her. " Why? Why can't I remember anything?" Eilathen emotionless eyes flashed for a moment with pity but it cleared back as he held Solo arm and they warped out of that field...
=In Reality=
A girl fell motionless to the ground, wearing a headgear. She was found by her guardian a few minutes later…
