Forest Dweller
Your memories of everything fade...
Everything you once knew is gone...
Your eyes awaken, shimmering blue.
Who are you?
Who is this... thing?
Elos brings his fist back and hits you, hard. You are pushed off balance, but nothing more. You touch your cheek. It stings slightly. Elos looks shocked.
Who are you?
What do you fight for?
You feel your body becoming lighter.
Do you have no purpose in life?
Will you make one?
ADAM!
You hear the voice, loud and clear.
"Who... are you?" You say aloud.
The voice that comes back is soft.
"I'm... ...Ayla..."
Ayla. The bell rings in your mind.
"A... friend?"
"Yes, a friend." The voice is sad. Elos growls and hits you again. You fall to the ground, and think hard, ignoring whatever lies before you.
"Ayla... who... are you?"
"Remember me. Adam... Remember the time we spent together."
You remember...
"Remember the days we laughed... we cried..."
You remember...
"Remember who you are, Adam..."
"I... remember."
"What are you doing today, Adam?"
"Just looking at the pond. It's beautiful, like always."
"You always say that." Another strike to your face. It does not phase you.
"Because it's true, of course."
"You know, it's really... I'm really glad that you came to the village."
"I am too... it's my home, after all."
"You're not like the others. Not at all."
"You mean... humans?"
"Yes..."
"I don't know what the others are like. I don't want to know."
"You're just you, Adam."
"Yeah." You share an embrace.
"Don't ever leave me." Ayla says, softly.
"I won't."
"Or forget me."
"I won't."
You open your eyes.
Elos. The man who did all this. The man who raped her mother. The man who became a god. The man who now rivals you in power.
"I remember it all, Ayla. Sorry for forgetting."
"It's okay, Adam. Now, stand and fight. For everyone. For me."
You nod and stand up, feeling another strike come towards you. You block it with one hand. His fist is warm, nothing else.
"Elos."
"I am Venach!"
"Don't play dumb. You're no more dead than I."
"W...what?"
"You do not understand us."
"Shut up, human!" He yells, punching again. You kick him swiftly, sending him into the wall of fire.
"ARRRGH!" He yells in agony.
"You don't understand us. What we fight for. You are a man of greed... hatred... now, come. I will show you my resolve."
The fire wall vanishes, and he glows bright blue.
"FORM TWO! ICE!"
"Try it... Elos." You whisper.
Everything you once knew is gone...
Your eyes awaken, shimmering blue.
