The beginning paragraphs of this thread are not related to the ending of this particular story. This is my first thread with this new character and I'm giving the impression that he is looking back through his memories. I'm hoping to end this thread with my character getting infomation on a man he is looking for. ((If you wanna know who he is looking for then just look at his character page for the history.)) Other then that, anyone is free to join in at anytime but please...no more then 3 or 4 other people besides me. It gets kinda hectic with alot of people.
Little by little the light filters from my eyes. The darkness is surrounding me and my body shivers as more blood pours out of my open wound. I shake violently as my nerves are registering the pain that is flooding into my brain. I try to scream but no sounds can be heard. My mind begins to slip away from me and I forget who I am or what I am doing.
The only sound that can be heard is the clanging sound of swords. I begin to gain just a little bit of my hearing back just to hear the echos of someone crying. The sound grows louder and louder as my hearing returns. I begin to get feeling back into my body as I feel arms on top of my chest, the source of the crying.
"Damn you! Don't you die on me!" a girl crys out. She covers the wound with her bare hands trying frantically to stop the bleeding. "We made a promise didn't we?"
"A....pro..mise?" he manage to whisper weakly.
"Just hang on, don't try to think. It's never been your strong point anyway."
I realize now that I am holding a sword hilt. I attempt to lift it but lack the power to lift even a hilt. I grow more confused, my memories have abandoned me.
"Was..I fight..ing? Did I lo..se?" I let the hilt fall from my hand and I lifted my hand to the girls face. My eye sight was gone but I still had my sense of touch. "Tell me...Who are you?"
"I'm Nix, can't you remember?" she says with a tender voice.
"I'm lost...I don't know whats going on." I say with a bit of tiredness in my voice. "I think.. I'm dying."
I hear her sobs growing louder. "At least don't forget what you have been fighting for all along. Don't forget everything right here at the end. I can't stand to see you like this." she pauses for a moment and continues. "Start with your name first, then go from there."
There was another long pause as I begin to pull my mind back together. Gathering all my focus on finding just the beginning of my travels. Finally, a name echos in the back of my brain just out of the reach of my understanding.
"My.. name?" I concentrate hard on finding at least that much at first. "My name is......"
Many years before...
"Irou, you idiot!!" Nix had already begun the morning with her constant pestering. "We were suppose to be in town over an hour ago. What the hells taking so long?"
"Look here you little brat!" I said pointing a finger in the girls face. "I've had it up to here with your behavior." The two of us had already been traveling together for a month but we were already at each others throats.
"B-brat?! I'll show you who the brat is!" She always wacked me on the head if I had offended or did something to her and this was one of those cases.
"You little.." I look up to see a group of women eyeing me curiously. I feel my face turn a bright red and throw a hand up. "Uhh, don't worry. I'm a street performer and I'm just uhhh practicing my act. He he he" the women quickly moved away in fear that I may have been a bit loony.
"You know, it really sucks that no one else can see you." I say slapping myself on the forehead. "Everyone thinks I'm losing it."
The town gate appeared in the distance as people began to pass by me more frequently.
"Ok, now don't talk to me while we are in town. There no need to embarrass myself any further." I passed the guard at the gate and made my way inside to start looking for a good place to start a street performance.
