Chapter 1: You're on Probation!
"You are in the Tree of Portals, it's Saturday, the 9th of March, I've forgotten the year but I think its spring," a voice spoke. I opened my eyes all the way and groggily stared around the room.
"Where am I?" I repeated, "What is this place?"
"I already said where you are, is something wrong with your hearing?" the voice asked, "I mean, you are Ramirez, aren't you?"
"Who are you?" I asked, this person knew my name, but... where was he in the room?
"My name is Katiana. That is my true name. You may call me Cat," this person replied. He was a she? Oh, that explains the higher pitched voice...
"I thought I was dead," I said, still trying to find where she was at.
"You were, but the spirit council looked at your record and decided a second chance was in order for you to learn. You get to live again, but you're on probation, which is why you're here with me," she explained.
"So... where are you?" I asked.
"I imagined you to be a bit more protesting... you're taking this very well for someone who died trying to end a world," she said with a laugh. Where was I?
"By world, are you saying I'm on another planet or something?" I asked.
"Something that's like that," she replied with another laugh, "Now, about your probation, I'm your probation officer, and probation is a little different when you're brought back from the dead. You are required to do work, which I assign, and you must stay with me at all times. I think there is a list of other rules somewhere..."
"But where are you?" I asked, "I can't see you anywhere!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, let me make myself visible," she said and in less than a moment, I saw a young girl dressed in black.
"Are you a pirate or something?" I asked her as I looked her over; she was really good looking...
"Nope, I'm the Guardian of the Portals, and your probation officer! How I got stuck with that job though, I still have no idea," she said and smiled at me, "I'm pleased to meet you Ramirez." She took a look around.
"What?" I asked.
"This is your room, where you shall be staying," she said, "And then, you can settle in today, and tomorrow, we're going to work."
"I have to work?" I asked with a groan, and then remembered something, "What... happened to Galcian?"
"He's dead, for good," she said and bowed her head in respect, "he may not have been evil so to speak, but what he did caused many to die, and therefore he doesn't deserve a second chance, much less anything else."
"GALACIAN WAS A GOOD MAN!" I yelled at her, "How dare you say such things! How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!"
"That is quite the childlike behavior. It was not my decision to make, and furthermore, even though I am for that decision, I respect you for your admiration and why you did what you did," she said calmly. I yelled at her again, and she just sat down on a chair near the bed and listened to my ranting with a patient look on her face. How could she just sit there and listen?
"Does it help to yell at me?" she asked, "I know a lot about you... so... does it help to take out your anger on me? Is this how you shall heal?"
"..." I shut myself up. I lowered my head. She was right, I couldn't do anything. I had heard rumors of the spirit council, they ruled the dead and sometimes if the need arose, they influenced the living in some way.
"So..." she began.
"Are you anything special? I mean, besides being the guardian?" I asked. The more I found out, the more information I gathered, the more I could actually do something.
"I'm also the protector of Forest, if that means anything to you," she said, "Now, enough of that. It's time to get you settled in. Come on my little Ramirez, your probation must begin!" Did she just call me her little Ramirez? What the heck was going on?
A/N: A little short, but I've hit a block on this one for a bit, I'll try to update A.S.A.P. but people have to want me to continue! Read and Review! (Please!)
Previously:
I offer you a second chance... will you not take it?
Take it and see the right path
Awaken Ramirez; you have been given a second chance...
"Huh? Where am I?"
