Hello all of fanfiction! I return, with the beginning of the second arc in To Hell and Back! This one will be more enjoyable than the last arc I promise! And it will add some interesting information. Before I start…
Disclaimer: I do not own binding of Isaac, or any of its characters.
P.S. I will be changing the format of the name that I put in each chapter, you will see what I mean
Arc 2 pt 1 the father he never had.
Isaac landed on the next floor with a light thud landing on his hands and knees, before rolling to make sure he did not take any damage from the jump. His fight with pin may have only been five or ten minutes, but it took almost all of his energy out of him. Even though it was early in the day, he was as tired as he was before he fell asleep last night, and decided to take a nap.
This time, his dreams went back to his family. His dreams brought him back to when his father had not left, he was brought back to the times when his life was enjoyable. He remembered that his father would play games on a computer he used to have in his room. He would play all sorts of games with bright, vibrant colors. Ever since Isaac was a toddler even, he always took an interest to his father's doings. Every Sunday night his father would bring him to a friend's house and play a weird and yet cool looking game called castles and chimeras… or something like that.
He always enjoyed it, but then his mother started becoming overprotective of what the boy was exposed to, and he started going less, and less until he hardly went at all. Before his father left, he gave Isaac the one thing that would keep him going, at least until now, "Isaac," his father spoke in a gentle tone, "I know these things can be hard to understand, and I am sorry I have to do this now, but in the future you will understand. Soon enough." Isaac stared at his father with eyes wide and brimming with tears, "will I ever see you again?" Isaac asked in a shaky voice. "I don't know," his father stated plainly, "but I know you will stay strong. For if we do see each other again." Isaac's father pulled him into a warm embrace, "I'm gonna miss you dad," Isaac whispered shakily, his father replied "I'm gonna miss you too, Isaac. I'm gonna miss you too." And pulled out of the hug "Your uncle wanted me to give you this, before I go. Maybe someday you can re-roll your destiny." his father stated with a smile, and gave Isaac, the one thing he would hide from everyone as if it were his own fragile heart, the very same red die with six faces that he held in his pocket as he sleep. "Thank you dad, I will never forget it!" Isaac stated proudly to his father, "that's my boy, I have to go now, don't tell your mother we talked ok?" Isaac's father questioned in a serious tone, "ok." Isaac replied simply, and watched as his father left the house, not before saying "I love you Isaac." Isaac's flashback was going white and when it fully disappeared, he woke up. He sat up on the soft dirt he slept on, a single tear rolled down his face. "I understand, father I understand." Isaac reached into his pocket, and brought out the crystal red D6, happy that it was somehow restored, and stated with a smile on his face "I have not forgotten, and I will stay strong, for you." Isaac proceeded to stand up and face the door to the next room and stated, voice full of determination "and I will continue, I will re-roll my destiny, I will live."
So how was the first part of the second arc? Don't worry, there will be more backstory in the next chapter, just not in the way you think! Anyway hope you enjoyed, read, review, what not. And as always…
Until Next time!
