The boney figure in front of me spoke in a brittle voice that made my insides squirm a bit.¨Why not see the realms for yourself.¨You can call me..Er what's my name again? nevermind I guess I'm a plague doctor?I've been stuck in this endless void of white for time and time again,see I've wandered and wandered around for a time yet to be known to me. it seemed infinite at first until I bumped into a wall and to be truthful i was relieved to find a wall because I was worried that accidentally I may have ended up in a void once again.
How I got here went something like this I believe,I was running from a tall entity?Yes it was an crawler, that ran in a crab walk until it caught up eventually grabbing my leg and throwing me upward towards it’s face to let me get a better glance of it’s horrendous features such as a skeleton nose(much like my own from decaying for so long),sharpen canines,and tiny little eyes that seem like they are the size of a penny,I opened a rift in front of it to jump in or swing in from that point of time,fast forward a week later? I’m here now..safe I believe at least for now.
As From time to time and the chances of making out of one realm gets slimmer each time I use it this ability,but that is just a curse I say that because it sends me to dangerous territories of other entities,And i could say is that I've been shredded,bashed,ripped and mutilated to death many times but there is also the chance i go to a place like the anti-void or void now but it is a one in a thousand chances to find myself in one but if i do find myself in one i'll have this feeling as if something inside me is squirming up my throat and all i can say it it does not make me feel more exhausted and burnt out, but to current time I've met The entity after i saw a figure walk across the horizon line in the ¨nightly hours¨ of the realms’s day night cycle,after a bit of staring at each other The entity asked me why wear a blank mask with a smiley face on it with what they assumes is blood..because the smile is a scarlet red and drips off the mask while I bear a mask of a bird's skull on my somewhat featureless face pridefully in pain for it bleeds from times uncontrollably making me groan in agony.
They kept asking me how I got in the ¨void¨ as they kept phrasing it and I replied that I just got here by chance. I wanted to tell him about the curse that came along with the ability in the first place and about my travels after we got to know each other.
Let’s say you’re a creature that sees a tall figure in robes that resemble something you've never seen in your plane of the multiverse..Yeah that’s basically how I am to the entity that gave me this ability or curse and the ability to resurrect myself,In the land of the dead that is..here?
No,I’m stuck in the rim of realities.
(NO I’M NOT DEAD NOT DEAD NOT DEAD..yet)..I cannot remember anything,only my travels an- The entity lifts me off my feet and prods and my underside making me jump back to reality or what I assume it is and shiver in discomfort for what comes next.
“You don’t seem like any entity I’ve logged or came face to face with.”They say that as a compliment I assume.”W-Well I’ve been traveling away from my main timeline for some time now and that could explain why you've never seen my species in any time ling in a state of decomposition(Wait what am I again,I´m human? No I am not,Am i considered one still though?)¨er-..W-What’s the date again?..I have a tendency to forget.”
They say in a brisk tone”Well That I cannot tell you..Time here travels..”They put an elongated clawed finger to what I assume is their mouth which to me was a mess of hasted lines and knots;They speak again”rather..Slow while outside it could have been a year already.”
“oh.”I sigh as I ready my pack and pouches that hang from my belt along with the weapon that my female parental figure gave me on my back with my free hand.
“Well I should be leaving,uh-whatever you consider yourself as”after a struggle,I drop from The awkward hanging position to move to the rift I’ve opened not acknowledging what awaits me beyond the sliver of silverish light it produces in the pitch blueish-black of the somewhat blue night around me and the entity with the only other light source being the faint golden glow that casts across my belt coming from a hooded lantern for miles around.
“Shall I join you?”While holding another lantern that they from what I assume was used for as long as they can remember,The entity speaks in the tone of a curious child,who knows not of the horrid worlds beyond thy own fictional world made with their innocent minds.
“Fine..as long as you don’t mind being torn to shreds,bashed,or mutilated over and over again..”I say that with the pit of guilt knowing this could possibly be my fault in the future much like many times before.
The entity silenced and sat down along with the lantern now sitting in front of the entity.
¨I don't want to be forgotten nor left in that dark again..please just come back when you have time..¨I sigh looking at the creature again and closing the rift after taking half of my leg out ¨Got left behind like the rest?¨
¨Yes..¨
¨I'll stay for now But I'll leave here soon when dawn falls that way;thy shall not be left in the dark nor forgotten again.¨
The entity´s face lights up even brighter than the lantern could shine with a smile that could almost stretch ear to ear if I hadn't been traveling through hellscapes,ruins,wastelands,and or death trap worlds I would have thought of it as disturbing even though i've seen more gruesome things on my travels throughout the unknown span of years.
They were a nice person or entity to be honest who doesn't like an nice talk once in a while when your on the possible brink of insanity from The undead to the voices of deceased kin telling you to kill your group or give up and die to your own hands..some say a part of me never wanted to leave his side and make him happy but alas The time was nearing I had to leave they fall asleep next to the lantern curled up into a ball,You could say They looked peaceful, pure,and unaware of horrors beyonder realms..They reminded me of a kid I once traveled with through hellscape after hellscape..
It kept me up at night when the kid died by the hands of The Sky Raiser in the west of an all too familiar scape of land. They were mangled beyond repair nor the sign of life we all possess inside us..
I slept for a time and awoke to see that They've moved me closer to them and kept me close like a child to a a stuffed bear,I left by opening a rift under myself.
The only reason I have this ability still is to find the entity like god figure that gave me the gift so I can return to my village after I have been cast out.
The village elder thought I had made a deal with The Sun Risers of the East village.
a mortal enemy of the bloodline I come from that meets a worserer fate when the mountains fall along with the sun.
I hope to visit my village once again.I yearn to feel real sunlight again, not the lantern light no matter how bright nor how dim in the darkness. The feeling of humanly touch I yearn for just a bit, not too much..
If I rid myself of these abilities may the knowledge of the realms go with it,Some people and entities say I should keep these curses and see the end of days and what the future holds for their species or races,No I rather go back to my family and possibly see The entity once more before I return to the village I once knew and cared for as a doctor
I'd rather see my mother and father again with smiles on their years old wisdom filled faces,their warm welcoming smiles,and their once love filled eyes but yet again I cannot remember what they look like nor how old they were or how close to death they were..have they become pale as a ghoul and skinny as a skeleton of have they passed to the other side with the village elder to a high plain much like the heavens or the stars above me?
The smell of a distanced memory fill my lungs as I come closer and closer to a ruined establishment of homes and markets or is it a little mountain village unfixable due to the elements set in effect to the buildings?
Whatever happened to my once home now lay in ruins and shambles in the husks of former homes? Was this my home or was it another village raided by The Sky Risers?
Something feels familiar yet distanced from where I stand on this ground of olden times.
Yet I feel compelled to move forward away from a familiar plains a little girl used to play in when she was a human's child the age of was it four or five?
Who was that girl?
Who were her parents?
I remember little of my past for the gifts take many memories,for the knowledge contains more importance to thy mind..
