The... figure of a man... warps for a moment, and you also sense the surrounding space warp.
"Oh, you've all finally had your thoughts. Good! You're playing along even better than those fools ever managed! Well, except for one of you."
The figure seems to pierce its attention right through Lirian. It feels cold all of a sudden, as if the figure's view was composed completely of ice. The cold withdraws all of a sudden, as if the figure had reigned back his mood.
"Ah, well. I will have you all sorted out eventually. Unlike the last four times, where I failed to plan ahead and make sure everyone stayed on track, I'm making sure that you all follow what I'm giving you. After all, I'm the one who gave you all life... well, not really. But I do control one thing, and I control it very well: Destiny."
He let that hang for a moment, in wherever you were. Your vision was still dark, only your imagination leaving you the figure of a man.
"I'd also like to mention that it would be useless to try and bother with attacks. As a matter of fact, you are not even alive! Are you dead? No, not exactly. Let's just say your soul lingers here... lingers a time before your conception. I'm just here to introduce you, so that we have no qualms with each other like the last forty-four did. And trust me, I do not make mistakes."
Now then, on to our show. You all imagined some nice places now. Well, too bad, you're not keeping those places. Life is unfair, isn't it? Considering you're not even alive yet, let's consider this fair. I just wanted to get an idea of your... preferences. Whether or not you prefer the location you dreamed of is not of my concern; it is what you dreamed of, and that is the concept of this whole operation. You will all go through your meaningless childhoods, and then I will see you again in... let's say... fourteen years? You'll all be different ages, but you should be around fourteen, fifteen, sixteen maybe. I really do not care... I cannot contact you directly, but you should be able to use your powers. You will have no memory of this incident, but you'll meet me eventually. Good luck. Or not!"
Everything fades to pure black. Or, at least blacker than before.
Rest of the post is coming soon. This is just an appetizer.
