Here's the next chapter, next part should be out momentarily.


Lightning

After I gave up and welcomed the bright light, I suddenly had this strange feeling, like I was falling. But it wasn't like I took a wrong step and tripped, no. I had somehow ended up falling into a completely different world. I didn't know how or why, but there was something else. There was a person, right below me, a girl. Judging by her facial expressions she had definitely noticed me as well. The women then changed her attention towards me, she held out her hand shouting I'm here, and with little to no choice I did the only thing I could, I took her hand.

After she saved me she started by filling in some of the blanks. Lighting was her name. She said were we in a place called Valhalla. But by the time I knew what I had to do, there were so many more unanswered questions.

Caius, he was there. I don't know how or why, but he was fighting with Lightning. Apparently he was the enemy... When I asked Lightning what we should do, or how we were gonna fight him she told me it wasn't my place, that it was her fight. She said she had a different job in mind for me. She told me I had to go and find her sister Serah, and once I had, I was supposed to bring her back here. I asked her why me, why did I have to do it? But supposedly... I was the only one who could do it. I crossed a void that shouldn't be able to be crossed, I made it to Valhalla. Lightning seemed sure I could find her sister, and then according to her, together the two of us could change the future.

I can't explain why, but at that moment I believed her. I felt relieved, I had a chance to fix everything before anything ever even went wrong in my time, and maybe, just maybe, I could even save Yuel.

After that, Lighting gave me a strange little creature that could change into a weapon. She told me to give him to Serah, as a good luck charm when I found her. She said that in order to find her I would have to use a gate, like the one that I supposedly came from myself. They acted as portals, portals to other times, other dimensions, and that's how I could get to her. Then, before Lightning could tell me anything more, Caius attacked us. And the last thing I heard from Lightning, was get to the gate, before I knew it she was protecting me yet again and fending off Caius. So I did what I was told, I ran with all I had and jumped into the gate.

Lightning set me on a path, a path that I truly believed lead to a better future. I had nothing left, so when Lighting told me what she had, I felt something... Whether it was a shimmer of hope, I didn't know yet... I hadn't been able to feel anything since Yuel died. I had given up, I welcomed death. But something or someone decided to save me. So now here I am, trying to find that future that Lightning told me was out there, but I had to find this Serah girl first.
