Pain, it hurt. His whole body felt like it was being ripped apart, flesh being torn and ripped while his bones were snapped in half and stabbed repeatedly.
It hurt, no, it was pure agony. Thousands of burning needles stabbed into his bones, burning them while his whole body was on fire. Blood pouring out, thick and red, a crimson river flowing.
They say when you have a near death experience that you will see the life flash before your eyes, all your memories of your life. That was what Noctis was seeing, his memories, not much of them though. All he knew was he had parents and that they left, leaving him to survive on his own.
Now here he was, slowly and painfully dying while accomplishing nothing. He wanted to know who his parents were, if he could find nothing, he then wanted to raise a normal family. Sadly, he couldn't. All those dreams, goals, were for nothing.
'I guess it ends here. Well, at least I had a decent life. Besides, no one will miss me.' Noctis thought, closing his eyes while his breath slowly stopped.
It stopped.
Pity, human. You had so much more that you could of done, instead you choose to die.
A voice? No, it was too powerful to be a voice. It was pure power speaking through his mind. But who?
"What do you mean I don't have to die? I cant just not die, that person killed me!" Noctis said, he wondered who they were.
Ha, as if! You do not just die like that, you do have something left don't you? Your parents, human.
The voice was right, he still wanted to find his parents and their reasons for abandoning him. "What of my parents, do you know them?" Noctis asked he voice. He felt something he had never felt before, Hope. Hope for the future, hope to meet his parents again.
Oh? I know everything. Your parents were a kin to a legend, human. But if you want to find out more, make a deal with me.
"A deal? That is it?" Noctis felt nervous and excited. Though, could this voice be trusted? Was this a dream or reality? It was too good to be true.
That is all human. Make a deal with me and you will find all about your parents. But be warned, a harsh path lies a head of you if you choose to pursue your parents. Do you wish to live? Do you accept?
Noctis hesitated. On one hand, he could live again and find out more about his past but on the other hand, he is trusting some voice no, something with his life by making a possibly dangerous deal. Was it worth it?
"I accept your deal." Noctis stated firmly. He heard the voice chuckle before he felt something, something that screamed dangerous before his mind went numb.
His heart beat once more.
"It seems that it is time once more. The board is set, players are ready, let us hope that this will not end like last time." Fate said. Others around her murmured in agreement.
"Seems that this one looks promising." Destiny chuckled s bit. Fate smiled, it was one of sadness. Destiny looked at the clock, a grand clock that acted as a seeing glass. The hand was striking to 12 o' 1. The first phase has begun.
"I wonder what's will become of the boy. He made a Sacred deal there, one that could end him." Fate shrugged, her mouth set in a frown at Destiny's comment.
"It was his choice, even if he made it with Voice." Fate said, her arms crossed on her chest.
Destiny frowned, a deal indeed. She looked at Fate Andy share details one thought with her;
They were nevertheless supposed to meet, the deal should have never happened.
The End was coming, this time, no one was safe.
Heaven, the Underworld, Earth trembled. A darkness was awakened. The past is going to be repeated, this time there was no stopping it.
He frowned. "It is happening again. We can only hope that they will not fail." She silently let tears fall down her face. "The game has to be played and one side must win. We cannot stop it, those are the law."
"That is not fair! We can try, we have to help them one way ore another, you know that. If we don't, the world will be destroyed." He yelled. She finally cried, hugging him while her tears flowed. They needed to win, they needed Hope.
Darkness will reign, Light will fall
A Fate like no other will be awaited
Heroes will rise when the Sun and Moon cry
To win the game, one must find
To find is to loose, to loose is to find
Heroes must choose, will you stand or will fall?
A prophecy of some sorts. What awaits the world, what awaits these Heroes?
Oh little mocking bird
How you sing so sad
Why do you continue to sing
Why are you sad
Let me take those tears away
It was the lullaby again, it was sad this time. Noctis remembered, a voice so soft and caring used to sing this. Whenever he was sad or feeling down, this song would appear and sing to him. He wanted to know, who was singing it.
Noctis woke up, eyes opening wide with a gasp. He looked down and saw his body free of blood and wounds. What the heck happened? Was it all a dream? Noctis got out of bed, running to look for a calendar before the mirror caught his attention.
Staring at him was not a reflection, but a creature from the underworld. He remembered it. The deal.
