We had just gotten into a deeper part of the forest by the time we decided to actually stop and think of what we were going to do. Kimmy ohs as she gets an idea. "You and me, Ralina! I wanna see if you really were right about who's faster, so lets have a race!

I turned back around to her, confused, brushing my hair from my eyes and holding it up with my hands. "A race? I don't know. We don't really know this side of the forest well enough yet. What if we run into a section we don't-"

"Torchic~."

I blinked at her interruption, confused with a cocked brow. "What?" She then got up to me and nearly poked me in the forehead, my eyes growing wide. She smirked big and tauntingly with narrowed red eyes. "Torrrrchic-chic-chic! Torchic! What? Scared you might be wrong and I might beat your butt?"

I just stared at her after I let my hair drop back down over my eyes, mouth agape slightly. Then I narrowed a glare at her. "Scared? My sister sure is confident~. Alright, fine! Race to..." I urked as I looked around, thinking of what might stand out. There was a tree with a green trunk way 300 feet in front of us. It had oddly colored blue leaves. I hadn't noticed though, that it wasn't the only one. I pointed to that tree alone, pulling my sister in closer by the arm so she could see what I was talking about. "To that green trunk-ed tree over there! it's a 300 foot race! We give it all our feet can!"

She smirks and makes a curtsy. "Alright, then." She then gets down with one foot ahead of the other ready to push off with the other foot steadying her. Her arms were out like a bird and on the ground to keep her up right. "On my mark!"

I got in a similar standing pose, but instead of me steadying myself upright with my arms, I held one arm bent in front of my face and the other back and out, which made most of my arm weight hold me still.

"Set... Go!" Both of us started off in full sprint. Despite my sister's legs being longer than my own, mine were swifter and lighter, as well as the rest of my body, helping me keep her behind me. However it wasn't what made her lose.

I giggled to myself, looking around as I saw I'd totally left her... but wait, she stopped? I slide to a stop, turning around and shouting to sis, who seemed to be staring off into the air. "Hey! Why did you stop?! Are you giving up?" She didn't react. Didn't even respond. Swiveling my lips, I considered she might be trying to trick me, but then she would have taken off when I stopped. I jogged back over to her, confused as I asked, "Sis, what's wrong? What's gotten into you?" She pulled me into her arms without warning as I yelped, flailing! "Hey! What th-" My sister's white hand flew over my mouth as I looked around in a panic, then shut up when I noticed what she was looking at in awe about, gawking myself when I realized the weirdest thing about the trees in front of us.

As they went along, their leaves and trunk became gradually similar to the tree I'd seen before. Green trunks with blue leaves. If I looked a little more carefully, I could see something other than leaves hanging from even further on trees' branches and barks... Whatever that was seemed to be glittering and shining with the sun. I couldn't see what they were from here though... Finally my sister let go of my mouth and put me down, seeming very curious. "What is this place? I don't think we ever found this spot in the forest before."

I shook my head. I was still pretty young back then, so I didn't know whether I could answer, at first. Then I thought, {We've been here for a while, now. I don't care if I am the youngest. Why, in all the days we've spent here, have I never seen this? Shouldn't this have stuck out?} I knew there were still places in that forest that we hadn't known of yet, but in a place like this, what glitters in trees without rain for a week? What tree grows something so shiny, anyway?

I should have been asking all that aloud that day, but I was just so entranced by the view that I didn't think to speak. However, my sister thought to walk further into this new-found place. You'd think that then was the moment I'd have piped up and said we "shouldn't go places we don't already know about" ... But to be honest... I was curious too.

I walked along and caught up with her, following her closely so that we wouldn't lose each other.

As we got deeper into that part of the forest, the crystals that were in and on the trees started to seem more like a part of the trees. Some grass even seemed to be crystallized completely. It would subtly get more and more common as we walked along until we started to see a change in the hue of light around us. One beam of light even blinded me for moments, making me groan and cover my eyes as I closed them tight. Reaching a hand up passed my hair and ubbing at the lids while I blindly walked with sis, I ended up tripping over her foot when she'd come to stop, letting out a yelp.

-Crish!-

...An unfamiliar sound of crushing... something... Opening my eyes, I realized there was something grainy, but shiny floating along in front of me. Looking around, I saw the crystal grass- but more plentiful, crushed from under my body. I expected a lot of splinters to be in my skin. Sitting up and dusting blue, shiny dust from my torso, I realized that there were no pricks in my skin or stuck pines from broken glassy grass. ...Then I looked around more... And what I saw was the most beautiful thing my eyes ever had. Some fear may have been there too for just... how bizarre it all was, regardless.

Everything in this portion of the forest seemed to somehow have been turned to this blue crystalline form. The trees were frozen in the reflective crystals, leaves and all... Or maybe they had become crystal. I'm not sure. The pollen had even crystallized, falling softly in this glistening shower of lights from the sun and dying this place blue and us along with it, much like the trees they had come from. As stated before, the grass had turned to this almost frosted form, which was the source of that crunching under our feet. You'd think that it would poke us in the foot, but it just broke down into bits too small to do it, some even going off into the air like they had from my fall. They were just too brittle and soft to hurt anyone, short of getting in the eyes.

The only thing that hadn't turned to crystal was the water from the stream flowing through. I guess if the water could be crystallized like all this had, there would be a lot of dehydration around. Even though it wasn't crystallized, there were blue gems and flakes in it here and there. I guess you can't keep water surrounded by crystals clean if the crystals are as fragile as the ones the grass made. That said, I wouldn't drink one in...

Looking at all of this made me feel like I had reached a form of serenity; like I could die here and I would be happy. Too bad, because this wasn't my home. ... Looking back on this spectacle though, I realize that I would not see it the same way if I was always around it. I'd get bored or used of it, so I guess that it's a good thing I never stayed.

As I stood there in awe, I just couldn't get over the fact that I had never seen this place before now. Where had I been? "Living under a rock," is a phrase that could accurately fit that question. Walking through the fragile ice-like grass, I looked around while my sister followed, almost tripping over my own feet a few times due to not looking where I was going.

Sis herself seemed to be as entranced as I was, thoroughly hypnotized by the beautiful blue crystal pollen in the air. She'd reach out a hand to catch some, but the second the pollen crystals touched her hand, it would crumble and puff away in a soft shimmering set of twinkles.

"You trespass on my home, where I have finally settled in after such greedy huntings." A voice that seemed to come from everywhere suddenly broke our awe. We panicked and looked around for the source, but the source was everywhere!

After a moment, I started to sweat from thinking I had done something wrong. I was scared and shaking was how one could tell. "Wh-who are you? ... Where are you?"

My sister urked with wide, worried eyes on me and covered my mouth, shushing me. "Don't call it out!", she whispered loudly, then went on to say, "We don't know who or what that was!"

"...Children?", the voice asked, then quiet ensued...

My eyes darted around under my hair, but I couldn't see anything. They may have been somewhere my hair was blocking me from seeing, but I wasn't thinking straight enough to take my hair out of my eyes. I did, however, wrench my way out of my sister's arms by twisting and stepping away, gasping air in. Then I threw a glare at my overcautious sister, finally breaking the silence. "I need to breathe, you know! Don't do that again!"

My sister yelped and shushed me again, crouching a little so she was even with me as she flailed her hands in front of her. "Don't yell! It might get mad- I'm sorry!"

"Why can't I talk?!"

"Because!"

"Cause why?!"

"You might make it angry, whatever it is~...!"

While we yammered on and argued louder and louder, a set of dark-blue sclera'd, big, blue eyes shifted back and forth between me and my sister from a shadowy figure behind a crystallized tree. When we finally started to get way too loud, the shadowy figure came out, floating over on side of both of us, eyes confused. "Excuse me, but..." It spoke with the same girl's voice that surrounded us mere moments ago, but softer and quieter.

We both froze, eyes wide as we slowly turned to the figure that had approached us. When we saw it, we both jumped a little, yelping like we had been pinched!

The figure had a gray, sylph-like upper body with a white chest and arms resembling a white dress, which had a frilly bottom. The white dress-sleeve like arms led out to small, gray two fingered hands- a hand comprised of a small palm flattish wide upper digit and a smaller, shorter, rounded bottom digit, comparable to a thumb. Around it's neck tethered to a thick, unbending golden collar was a large blue jewel nearly as big as it's chest. Nearly. It had a small neck that supported a big, round, gray head with large, ovular, blue eyes with very dark blue schlera. It had a small mouth that currently sat in a concerned frown and two cute ears shaped almost like a miltank's.

On it's head sat several blue crystals on a nearly covered up, golden head dress, larger than the necklace crystal. The head dress itself was only really visible in the front of the creature's head. The four crystals in the back of it's head were shaped like the necklace crystal but were almost a third larger. Behind it's ears dangled two long versions of the prior crystals, almost as if they were ear rings, but they were obviously just connected to the head dress by gold chains. The crystal that sat on it's forehead was diamond-cut in shape, just as large as the ones in back. You could have said all these head ornaments were meant to be hair for this creature.

The large bottom half of it's body... was basically a rock as shapely as any boulder, but to be fair, it FAINTLY resembled the most common shape among it's crystals. Equilateral. Of which, in all of that rocky under-body, there hid a giant crystal. How did I know that? There was a gaping, messy hole in the side of that part of her body. Don't worry. It wasn't bleeding. It was just basically a viewpoint hole.

The creature that floats before... wasn't a pokemon I was familiar with and I knew a lot of pokemon from our journey for a home. What this creature was had to be a pokemon, though. There was no mistake to be made there, what with the unreal physical body that seemed almost too bizarre to be real. A blue crystal encrusted pokemon with fae-like appearance and a rock-skinned body. It was likely a fairy type, like me, which made me feel unnerved, but it had to be related to rock in some way, as well. It was a female, though. I could tell from the voice and how it carried itself.

I was too curious. I stepped forward, much to my sister's panic as she shook her head. Before she could object, my mouth made the words in my head heard. "Your the voice we just heard, right?"

In defeat, my sister let her head limply droop down while she quietly muttered, "Doomed~..."

The creature nodded cautiously. floating a little closer. She placed a hand on her necklace's crystal and bowed a little, but kept her eyes affixed on us. "I am." She then floated down, having to wedge her lower rock body into the dirt and crystallized grass. "Before I state my name, who are you and what brings children to my home?"

My sister calmed down, straightening up nervously as she made a slight swivel with her lips. She stepped up to the pokemon, keeping both eyes fixed on her and her alone. "W-we saw crystals all over the place back the way we came in, so we decided to follow them, cause they were pretty. We'd been in this forest a long time, but this is the first time we've seen things like this." She looked around herself at her surroundings, which refracted light from blue crystals being everywhere had dyed the same color. "This place is gorgeous, but it feels like I've stepped into a new world... It's a little nerve-wracking."

The pokemon paused for a moment, possibly testing my sister's words to see if she got a reaction that fit her current mode of nervousness. My sister started to sweat from this, curling her brows up and turtling her head. She was still a little afraid that the pokemon might attack. "W-w-what? Did I say something weird?"

The crystal encrusted pokemon shakes her head to my sister and smiles a little, her eyes softening. "No. I believe you, even if you are a little strange."

I made a blank face... then pouted, along with my sister. Getting a little too close, we both responded with, "Hey! I'm not strange!", which made the pokemon panic and do something I didn't see coming, putting her hands up.

Crystals formed in front of her, clear and blue, separating us from her. Both of us looked awe-struck. "Whoa..." We had said that almost in unison.

That made the pokemon blink as she floated over the crystals. "Sorry..."

Putting two and two together, I looked around again and realized that all of this was a creation of the pokemon-we-were-talking-to's power.

The pokemon's crystal shield soon shattered to bits that fell to the ground before dusting entirely, revealing her to be shyly sitting there with her hands together... Turning back to her, I got closer. I was almost close enough to reach out and touch her before long, looking up into her eyes. This is also where I blushed and huffed, because I had also realized she was bigger than me by a whole foot and some odd inches, which was probably more than twice my size. I was the smallest, where I had hoped she was my size and I had deluded myself that I had been looking up because she was still floating.

She grew nervous again, frowning down at me. "What? I did not mean to form those. Did they hurt you? I'm so-"

"No, no no~!" I sighed a groan, turning a quick fifty degrees left and folded my arms together, so I didn't have to show my face up front. I wasn't happy, but it was for the reason you probably guessed. "I am fine, just.. a little... Tired of being the smallest pokemon around here. That's all."

My sister blinked, because she could see the puffing pout in my cheeks. She snickered and looked at the pokemon. "Don't worry about her. She's just sensitive about her shorty-ness."

Before any laugh from the pokemon could come, I looked back to her quick with a forcefully calmed expression belying irritation. "Anyway!" I shouted to erase the giggles and bring everyone "into the real world" again as they stared at me with wide eyes. Didn't last too long. "I guess that you did all of this. Made all of this stuff here, I mean. You just made crystals and everything around us looks like it's been either merged with or made into your blue crystals. Sooo, two and two."

The pokemon, nods, simply. "Correct, I am the only one who can make these, at least in this color. I am a Diancie. However, no other Diancie that I know of has blue crystals. Most have pink."

I turned back to her completely while I took that in, meeting her blue eyes. I had never even heard of a Diancie, but from how she said it, she would not be the last I would ever see. She was indeed the only one I would see that looked like this, though. "Diancie... I have never heard of your kind before." Looking over her more thoroughly, I tried to record everything that she was in my mind. That was how I was able to describe her to you so accurately. I have a photographic memory, if you haven't noticed. Though, I guess that mine is more... animated than most.

She went on to ask again, "What are your names?"

Both me and my sister made an, "oh", sound and smiled at the Diancie. I went first, but I lifted my hair out of my eyed before I said anything. "My name is Ralina. I'm a Ralts." Then my sister went, doing another one of her curtsies and bowing her head a bit. This time she wasn't afraid of the Diancie. "I am Kimmy and I am a Kirlia."

"Ralina... Kimmy...", the Diancie would repeat to herself, then smile. "I see. So, you're both of the Gardevoir and Gallade lines."

Both of us looked at each other, standing casual, but we knew the Diancie was wrong on one part. We looked at her and said, in unison, "Just Gardevoir."

The Diancie blinked with a swiveled lip. "...Pardon? Just Gardevoir? What do you mean? A Kirlia can evolve into-"

"Either, right?" Kimmy smiled and shook her head, humbly. "Not us. We can't become Gallades because we don't have the right stuff. Not just because we're not boys, either..."

She would go on to explain the whole reason why. This is going to take a while. Do you need something to drink? ... No? Eat? ... Well okay. Then, I'll try to remember everything she said word for word, but in some parts of her speech, I nodded off. Sorry if this isn't very accurate.

Here goes. "We aren't the right... How did mom say it? ... Generation. Lots of Ralts and Kirlia these days have the ability to turn into either one of the two evolutionary parents of our line. But we come from the other spectrum of that, because our side of the gardevoir line's population didn't produce Gallades at any point in it's time and it's just been a few years since there were even Kirlias able to turn into a Gallade at second evolution. They didn't exist before that. And for whatever reason, we were never able to get the uh... stuff.. that the other side of the population had.

The ones that made us and our generation of Ralts, Kirlia and Gardevoir were never exposed to whatever it was that brought the Gallades into the evolutionary lines, period. But at the same time, Mom said that we aren't even Fairy like a lot of our kind you'll find, these days. We're pure Psychic. So, her theory is that it's got to do with being partial Fairy as well. She knew of Gallades and talked to one or two in her life time before, but we were all obviously born before that was ever possible. Mom says that our chemistries would have needed to intermingle with the right type of pokemon, in theory. Speaking of, her theory THERE is that it was a pokemon who evolved with a dawn stone, just like how a Gallade is made when a kirlia touches one.

Regardless of any of that nonsense, it's not like we'd know if we could. That only happens to male Kirlia and I and Ralina here are both girls. Obviously. But uh... Maybe it was a Togekiss? ...No, wait. Wrong Egg group... And wrong stone, actually- Togetics evolve with Shiny Stones... ... ... Uh?"

After that long explanation, she found me dozing off on side of her with the Diancie giggling at me. She narrowed her eyes and bonked me on the head, which made me squeal and rub at the red mark it made. "OW!" She humphed and closed her eyes with a smirk in her lips and crossed her arms, saying, "But! That's okay. I don't want to have a blade coming out of my head or look like some weirdo with a disc for hips, anyway. I wouldn't be able to show my face to my mother and sister ever again!"

The Diancie nodded as she seemed to understand all of what Kimmy said. I knew all of it so there was no surprise to be had. The Diancie then smiles a bit. "Well, I think that was more than enough from you two." She plants her rock bottom tip in the ground and bows proper-like- it must be how she was raised that made her so proper. "My name is Mallory. I am the singular blue Diancie."

I chuckled at the repeated species name, but smiled at her pretty actual name. "It's nice to meet you, Mallory~." My sister shouted, "Ditto!"

Mallory giggled, a little blue in her cheeks now. "Likewise."

The three of us became fast friends, even though later we found out she was much older than us. How old? Well, you are another girl, I guess. She was 40 years old. That's not much for her species, but I'm sure you guessed that as we later found out her typing. Fairy and Rock. Rock-types have a long life along with their brother type, steel. Some fairy types do, as well. Take that how you will. I might live a lot longer than you, yes, but Mallory will live 1000 years from then and beyond. By her standards, she is still a kid. A super smart kid, but still. Not only that, but she and her kind evolved from Carbinks, then somewhere along the line, that evolution became solitary from Diancie. I've never seen a Carbink, but she told us as much.

This wasn't all we learned from her. Her abilities related to crystal creation were linked to carbon. If there was carbon to be had, something necessarily everywhere, she could make crystals like the ones she had endlessly, if given enough time. I did notice that she sort of shrunk back behind them anytime she felt nervous. Reclusive is what she was. The thing I didn't know, yet, was why.

"And I smacked the Aipom with his own throwables! I swear, I think he wet himself when I grabbed him with my psychic and threw him into the sky!"

My sister was telling Mallory about the Aipom that was picking on me. Looking away from them, I looked back at the crystals Mallory had created earlier. It just kept bugging me. What made Mallory react so shyly and nervously around us when we raised our voices or even approached her the wrong way? I had to know. Turning my head back to Mallory, I spoke up with questioning eyes. "Hey. Mallory?"

She blinked from my sister's story, looking at me with concern. "Is something wrong, Ralina?"

Shaking my head, I replied with, "No. Nothing at all. I just... Can I ask you about something?"

Mallory nodded to me, clearing her throat as if it were parched. And so, I asked the question. A pause enveloped us all as my sister stopped her story and looked at me, confused. "Kinda intrusive, don't you think, little sis?"

"No, this-..." Mallory stopped, almost trying to hide her eyes while she paused and thought about it. When she looked at me again, there was a seriousness to them. Those blue orbs were frightened underneath and there was this vibe about Mallory's tone that startled a shift from me when I had been sitting. "This shouldn't be something I keep to myself, as it won't help those who don't already know about what I've been through..."

And there it was. The thing that had been keeping her frightened for all this time. That mental scar. She went on to tell us what I'm trusting you will understand, so pay attention. This is what she told us.

"You Both have seen my crystals are all blue, a color never seen in Diancie, rare breed or no." She held her hands to her necklace crystal, almost looking as if she didn't want it hanging there with how shaky her hands were. "A color not gained naturally, but forced upon me."

This fact made me and my sister listen even more, looking at each other with concern in our eyes, before looking back to our Diancie friend.

She went on. "I am modified. Modified by humans and their sciences. Humans made me the color I am today by attempting to mix my... make-up... what makes me myself... together with a substance they made... It was injected into me through the back of my head..." She turned around and showed us a tiny puncture scar crevice in the spinal part of her head. The amount of force needed for whatever went into that mark must have been tremendous. Rock skin is difficult to break through, but the insertion was mostly clean. It was done with precision and carefully executed.

I felt uneasy looking at it, sweat dripping down my brow... I'm sure my sister had a reaction on the same magnitude, but at the time, I didn't ever look away for a second from the scar, so I never saw what face she made or what reaction. I know my sister though. She was a bit squeamish...

Mallory turned back with eyes that were closed and a blank expression on her lips. "They then made me create a crystal... while I was still adjusting to the serum. I couldn't stop myself, not because I was no longer in control, but because if I did, I would have exploded..." She opened her eyes, looking at me in particular or some spot behind me with an almost perplexed expression that settled soon after into a telling look. "The serum had an odd reaction inside of me that made my entire body feel like it was going to shatter, unless I found some way to relieve even the slightest pressure... So I formed a crystal to expel unwanted energy... The crystal that I formed was mostly pink with blue staining on a side and what looked like a vain outreaching inside it... It was, however, a weakened crystal. As soon as it was placed within a dish of clear liquids- not water, It dissolved easily as if ice. The result was some off-colored fluid. They put a small drop of this new substance I had made on a small, squared piece of blood-stained plastic and... looked at it through some form of pipe connected to a tiny stand... The humans seemed pleased, talking excitedly amongst themselves... After that, they just let me go... injured and alone... but I was free..." She breathed in shallowly and then out again as she repeated, "Alone..."

Hearing the pain in her voice made me frown beyond my control. It all sounded so confusing, but also... horrible. She looked at us and took a moment. "... I... knew that I must escape as far away from that place as I could... However, I continuously needed to keep producing crystals... The affect had not been stopped...

And thus, I left a crystal-laid trail everywhere I passed...

When I arrived here, I felt sure that I would burst. Everything I knew was pain. I had been convinced my end had come... I could not even scream when I finally felt everything come to overflow from within. Yet, instead of exploding... my body released it's energies like a tremendous wave of wind, thus causing many of these very trees to become as you see now...

I had pass out thereafter. And when I awoke... I awoke to this sight.. There was relief and awe, but also fear. I feared the same would happen again... And yet, I no longer felt a build up. Instead, my body felt almost normal."

Her wording made all of this easy to imagine. Still, I was left thinking. Why did they do that to her, only to then let her go? It seemed the humans wanted something from her, but what it was just didn't seem apparent to me. If anything, that they were pleased seemed to insist that they had found what they were looking for, but to give up the source meant that they would not have access to said source again, more than likely... unless they used another Diancie.

... Shaking my head, I furrowed my brows and huffed. "Humans are too confusing to me."

The diancie made a rueful smile down at me and stated, "You'll find no disagreement from me..."

Sis folded her arms and made a face at a tree. "Well, they aren't confusing to me. These guys clearly took only what they wanted from you and then ditched you."

"But doesn't that not make a whole lotta sense," I questioned, to my sister's confusion as her eyes locked on me. Curious. Mallory did the same. Blinking in surprise as I became the center of attention... I got flustered and blushed with an uneasy look on my face, holding my hands behind my back and kicking the ground- in turn shattering soft grass into more glowing particals. "I-I mean, It's.. weird... Right...? Why catch one of us, use them once, c-clearly express satisfaction of the results and then ditch them? ... D-doesn't it make more sense that they would... keep Mallory?"

... They found that I was right, judging by the consideration writing itself upon their faces. Mallory in particular shivered, eyes scrolling around warily.

And upon seeing this, Kimmy shook her head and sighed, pouting down at me. "Well, they obviously didn't do that, so is questioning their reasons worth freaking out Mallory?"

Rubbing my head in guilt, I frowned and averted my eyes, my cheeks reddening further. I felt wrong and embarrassed for bringing up a clearly touchy idea. "Ri-right... Sorry~..."

The diancie shook her head after she took a breath and smiled compassionately down upon me. "N-no. It's okay. This should not matter so. As Kimmy said, that did not happen..." With a puzzled expression, a thought seemed to occur to the crystallized pokemon. Tilting her head, she asked, "You two mentioned you have a mother, yes? Won't she be worried you two have been gone for so long...?"

And then we both yelped, eyes wide. I started to jog in place and Kimmy nervously began to sway her arms to and fro- though in an unnaturally fast manner. In unison we would say, "We gotta go- talk to you another time- bye!" And then zipped off. While I did, I stumbled over something and nearly fell. Whatever it was made a crunch when it smashed into the ground, but I didn't notice what it was.

When I took a look back while rushing off, I noticed the Diancie was looking at where I had tripped, but I was so afraid of what was to come if we were late that I never stopped and just turned back around to keep running and catch up to my sis.

The day was a long one from that point on, but mostly because we'd been told to lean against a tree on our knees when we got back to our home in the normal parts of the forest. Mom was lecturing us over with a speech about staying gone for so long. That we should more responsibly mind the sun. It had been cresting below the horizon by the time we got back, so I guess we were talking longer than I thought.

Of course, I bugged it all out, because she was being very long winded, even if she cared.

While we knelt there, I couldn't help thinking about Mallory's puncture wound on the back of her head... I remember thinking, {Why would someone do that, human OR pokemon. I know they got what they wanted from her... but what exactly is that? What can some dumb crystal juice do to help them...? And why let her go...? That REALLY doesn't make any sense.}

Even after the punishment, I kept thinking about it, all the way into the night for when I slept... There was something going on back then that I didn't have a clue on, because of just how unknown it was to me. I couldn't even begin to realize what was going on and why it was happening. At the time, I don't think anyone but the commiters knew...

... ... ... Alright. I'm going to warn you, now... I've told you a little of my childhood, or at least the important part of it you needed to know before I had ever met you. Now, if you're still dead-set on listening to the very end, it's time for me to tell you why those days are over... I won't skip around details, just as I haven't been doing thus far. You have to understand everything and bare everything to know who I am... WHAT.. I am... So you must ask yourself... Are you prepared for what I'm gonna tell you...? This is where the real story begins... And not everything is happy...

... ... ... I'll give you tonight to decide, then... I'm not going anywhere, even though I could. Come back tomorrow... but only under those circumstances.
