We were sitting at a messy table in the room where I had tried to escape from. I realised it was this 'pub's main hall. Cerberus leaned his chin on his flexed hands and stared at me. I felt uneasy, what did this guy want? "I met someone like you the other day. An arrogant fellow, though. Didn't know who he was or where he was. Funny, cause right there and then he just said 'I'll call myself Felix'."
I raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "So?" I asked. "What does this have to do with me? I probably have amnesia or something. Other people get it too." "Try thinking of a name that really sounds familiar. It could give us some clues to who you are and where you came from." Cerberus said. How annoying, he makes it sound so easy. I thought long and hard, but the only names I could think of were Cerberus or Felix. Heck I don't think I even remember any other names.
I looked across at another table, where this raccoon wearing blue goggles was dancing and holding up a huge leaf like an umbrella. The inside of my head had a fuzzy feeling, and my hands started shivering. I saw Cerberus looking at me, and then there were two Cerberus's, then three...
I started hearing echoes of voices in my head, arguing? I couldn't understand anything. All the voices were overlapping with each other. I saw a Colosseum-like place and a big stone circle on the ground, with some sort of strange markings on. I could just about see into the middle of the circle. "KHAN". With that, this 'vision' stopped and I found myself staring at the ceiling.
"Hey, uh, kid. You okay?" Cerberus's familiar voice woke me up. The environment of drunk people cheering also flowed back. "Khan." I said. Cerberus looked shocked. "Sorry, can you repeat that?" "Khan. My name is Khan. I had a vision." I repeated, looking down. "No. I don't think that's your name.." Cerberus sounded uptight. I looked up at him. He crossed his arms again. "Khan, is one of the beast kings of this world. I don't know why you'd think of something like that."
A beast king? Khan? What kind of person was I? And the way he said 'this world' made me feel like I didn't belong here. "Well, I don't know either." I said, disappointed. "Just make up a name for me."
"Alright. You've got black hair, you're wearing a hoody, red eyes.. How about" Cerberus looked me up and down. "Lethe." I spoke. "Means forgetfulness doesn't it?" Cerberus nodded and smiled. "Yeah, it does seem to suit you, kid!" He went to reach for a bunch of grapes when the little raccoon which had been dancing on the tables leapt up on ours and stole them, stuffing them in his mouth.
Straight away I panicked, awaiting the strange visions. But nothing happened. My heart started returning to it's normal pace and I sighed. "Hey, Tanuki! Where's that blasted owner of yours?" Cerberus started whacking at the Tanuki, as the creature jumped on his face, scratching and swiping with his sharp little claws.
I ignored the two, and looked around the room. There was still cheering in the carefree atmosphere. I knew I wasn't used to this. I stood up from the stool I was sitting on and grabbed the tanuki by it's neck fur. He stopped moving and dangled in the air, like a possum. I examined his face as Cerberus sat back, shocked. "Why do you seem so familiar?" I moved my face in closer to stare into his little beady eyes. I swear I saw a grin, because at that moment, he bit my nose.
