The land of Skyworld, The Domain of Palutena goddess of light and the Angels, The messengers of the gods... The world once besieged now revels in peace after the defeat of a great enemy to humanity, nature and Gods alike, But thats not what this story is about, This story is about a corrupted being, Waking up from a long
slumber... This is the story of him, And his journey towards his redemption.
My eyes opened slowly... Taking in the sight of the full moon floating in the sky above me... I sat up slowly, Glancing around the room... I was surrounded by the skeletons of many humans or angels, I couldnt tell which, They all look too similar to one another for me to tell... Thats not important however. "Where... The hell am i?" I spoke to no one in particular, Slowly pushing myself to my feet and walking around a little bit... I seemed to be in some sort of a cave or ruin
When i looked ahead i spotted something glowing to the north and proceeded to slowly move towards it... I dont know what happened to me... But whatever did, Was enough to leave a huge scar diagnally from my waist up to my shoulder, And erase my memories completely, That doesnt make sense though, An injury like this shouldnt have been able to affect me in such a horrible manner, But judging from the state of my body, Maybe im better not remembering for the time being.
As i reached the glowing object, I saw a Staff sticking out of the ground, Half-way buried within the earth, I grasped the base of the staff and pulled upwards, It didnt even budge, Its too deep in the ground... But a moment later i began hearing a voice. "Oh corrupted one, You may not draw the staff from its prison at this time, Because you are not youre true self, You are but a corrupted shell of your true identity, Once you have awaekened to your true identity you may draw the staff"
"Who are you? Why... do you speak to me?" An image appeared in my head of a woman wearing robes i could only describe as Divine. "My name is Palutena, The Goddess of Light, Protector of Humans, And the ruler of Skyworld, Ive battled the underworld army and Aurum forces and wiped them from this world"
"You are not a True angel, But a fallen being whos desires overtook your mind and force you into the state you are in, To regain your true glory, You must find who you really are"
"But where do i look? What do i do? I-" I was interupted immediatly by Palutena.
"That is up to you, I cannot lead you to who you are, Or what you will become, That is for you to decide. I cannot create a destiny for you. You must make your own destiny" After these words, She went quiet.
"Find... My own destiny? I guess... Thats how its going to be then" I nodded to myself and walked towards what i assumed to be the exit.
