Short chapter, to show what's truly happening, next chapter will be longer. I hope. More at the end.
Chapter 2: Strange Mysteries
Percival's eyes shot open, looking around.
"Where...where am I this time?" he wondered. He was in a misty area, being able to see nothing but the faint outline of things. He cautiously took a step forward, making sure he wouldn't just fall into some abyss. When he was sure there was ground, he stepped forward and started to walk. He headed to the nearest thing, which was a tree, but it started to get farther away every step. As he walked, it started to slowly rain, starting at a gentle drizzle, turning harsher.
(Cue: Night Of Rain)
He shielded his face against the rain with his arm, continuing towards the tree. That's when he heard the voices.
"Quand l'obscurité et la lumière entrent en collision,". a loud voice boomed throughout the realm.
"Eh? Who's there?" he shouted, turning in a complete circle to look around. No one was there.
"Vous trouverez l'autre sur les côtés opposés" the voice continued. He looked in the direction of the tree, but he seemed closer to it, as if he was pulled towards it while turning around. Some of the mist started to condense, forming a dark blob. "Les Gears Of Time va ralentir," the blob slowly started to take shape, into a figure. It kept on twitching, changing from a human form to some sort of, something. "et seulement deux peuvent l'arrêter".
"What is it saying" Percival thought. "And what is it?". the form started to approach him, making him step back. The mist started to form more defining parts of it, hands, legs, a face, it even started to form the eyes. It even started to grow something similar to hair, changing to a white color. But the unnerving part about it? The eyes. They were just yellow dots. It stared right at Percival, as he continued to back off.
"Yellow dots and white hair... No... No!" he continued to back off at a faster pace. "Yellow eyes and brown hair, just like- stop it. It can't be her. Can it?". He continued to stare at it, wondering of the possibility of who it could be. The mist reached out slowly raised its hand toward him
"Pe-...ci-...al...ou...og...ize..our...usi..?" the thing spoke, as the voice from before grew louder.
"Mais au milieu de tout cela," the voice said, sounding even closer.
"Wh-what? What are you saying?" Percival stuttered. He then felt himself falling backwards, as he found himself on the ground. The mist right above him, it's hand already inches from his face. He closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. When it never came, he slowly opened his eyes. There was nothing there. It was as if the mist never existed.
"quand ils atteignent finalement une fin," the voice, a faint whisper now,, spoke. He slowly started to get up, when a screech was heard right in his ears. He covered them, and looked up. His eyes widened, as the black mist from before dashed towards him, tackling him. It's white hair slowly wrapped around his neck as it lifted itself up along with him. He started chocking, gasping for air, clawing at the being in front of him. It looked directly into his eyes, as it lifted its arm and put a hand under his chin.
"aW... lItTlE PeRcy," it somehow spoke, not even opening its mouth to speak. "dOn'T yoU rEcOgnIze yoUR oWn CoUsin?". It smiled, as it tightened its grip on his neck. Black spots started to appear everywhere in his vision, as the being opened its mouth, revealing sharp rows of teeth. His eyes started to close, his chest burning, when he managed to catch a glimpse of a figure with white hair and black streaks, his eyes shut close, holding a key like staff, at the top, a crescent with a purple cube in its center. The figure held a golden ring with a chain linking to the giant key. There were tinier purple cubes circling around him, as he raised the ring above them. As they did so, the tinier cubes turned into birds that shined with a blue light. He pointed their staff to the form that held Percival, and the birds soared towards us. The birds collided onto the back of the mist, making it screech in pain and drop Percival. He landed on the ground with a thud, gasping for air. He shook his head, still breathing heavily, and looked up to where the mist was, but it was gone. He looked towards the key wielding person, and found the figure towering above him. He looked at the figure, analyzing them. The key wielder wore a crown with feathers coming out of the side. He had iron shoulder pads and had purple and white colored clothing, with black markings. Their eyes still remained closed strangely. Percival was just about to speak when the person tapped the key on his forehead. Percival started to felt tired and drowsy, as he fell onto his back, his eyes closing. The last thing he saw was a bright light shining from above, as he shut his eyes, falling to sleep.
So, questions..
Who was this key-wielding figure?
Who is this figure who appeared from the mist?
Where and what is this place?
What is the unknown voice saying?
More to come soon... I hope.
So.. bye! *runs off*
