Silent Song of Death ~ Rebirth Author's Note
So many people have been asking about the backstory unfortunately I cannot reveal it just yet as the backstory to what's happening is actually the reason for the story. Many of you have been asking about the first chapter. The first chapter is just a dream of events and let's face it, in dreams and nightmares, you tend to go along with the flow. Hence why the boys didn't question why there were in the Amusement Park in the first place, nor did they give much thought the monsters either. When you're in a nightmare you tend to try and escape right? Well that's what the boys are trying to do in the first chapter.
The Power/History of Silent Hill:
It was always known as a mysterious place that had unexplained powers. Always had a strange presence around it, around the time that the Colonists came to the area and with the plague that followed them. The presence for four centuries warped and continued get stronger that was until the immolation of a supposed witch. It had been rumoured her soul split in half, with one remaining in Silent Hill. Because of this it eventually manifested into a town. For this reason, Silent Hill is considered a living entity that can call out the darkness close to hearts of people. Silent Hill is known to call out to people with its own intentions. It's able to manifest feeling, thoughts and fears in order for someone to come to a realization. A common example of this in the story is the worm like monster that Puck & Blaine fought. It was manifested as a result of Blaine's first sexual experience, which why the monster continues to move in and out of the tunnels. The razor sharp teeth are a symbol of pain, showing that his first experience was quite painful. But the place is known to have dark, evil and twisted intentions. Sometimes Silent Hill actually wants to see its victim tear him or herself apart emotionally and drive to them to insanity or suicide. Silent Hill is known to manifest itself into three possibly parallel worlds. The Real World, the Fog World and the Otherworld. These worlds are known to 'shift' into one another. An example of this would be the conversation between Blaine, Puck and Kurt. The pain Blaine experienced was a result of the Real World shifting into the Otherworld.
The Real World:
This is the reality and the physical dimension that people live in. Unlike the Fog and Otherworld, there is extremely minimal if any abnormal activity. Monsters rarely ever mainifest in this reality although some maybe be powerful enough to do so. Eg the fight Blaine has with the Closer monster before he encounters Kurt. This version of town of Silent Hill can be peaceful looking. No one in the town even realise of the dark goings on, except for the Order. The Real World is the only dimension that currently extends over the entire world.
The Fog World:
Like the name suggest, this world is a direct copy of the real world only difference it is covered in a dense fog. The fog world is also the gateway between the Real World and the hellish Otherworld. It is not known how anyone passes into the Fog World but each time it does happen, it is a gradual transition. No one actually realizes anything is wrong until they actually encounter their first monster. The fog that surround this dimension is only a white or light grey in colour. Another difference the fog world has from the real world is that everything around it is in a contanr state of disrepair, for example the state of a road may suddenly drop off into a deep abyss. It less macabre that the Otherworld but the environment is still a hostile one. The sight of wrecked cars and bloodied corpse on the streets are not an uncommon sight. The Fog world is set up to be a labyrinth. The fog world can sometimes extend out to close towns to punish someone involved with Silent Hill's history.
The Otherworld:
The third and final of the dimensions. It's the most dramatic, violent, and hellish world of the three. Also nicknamed Hell. Unlike the other two dimensions which have the same appearance to everyone. The Otherworld appears differently to every individual, it can be seen as the symbolic manifestation of a person's psyche, despite appearing different to every person, Puck and Blaine's close relationship allow both boys to see what the other sees, combining their worlds in a way. For example, the appearance of the Silent Hill through the eyes of the witch that was badly injured as a result of her attack, became very dark and industrialized, with blood covering almost everything in the twisted world. The town of Silent Hill isn't the only towns that have been afflicted by the Otherworld, the towns Blaine & Puck are from have both been hit by them. Eg. When the Mall shifted into the Hell Mall. A recurring theme in all Otherworlds are the vein like effects that appear to spread and corrupt the atmosphere. It is similar to a fading transition. The shift is usually accompanied by a monster. The Otherworld shifts do not have any profound effects on Puck except for the hypnotising feature that puts Puck into a trance until the shift completes itself, were it then wears off. The shift however cause Blaine a great deal of pain as it occurs.
I hope this clears some stuff up for those who were confused by the happenings going on in this story. I hope to have the next chapter uploaded soon possibly tonight to keep an eye out for it :D
