Fallen - The endless void

My eyes were blinded by shadows when I woke up, not knowing what was around me I began to walk and reach out my hand to grab on to something. A pole with ridges protruded from it. My fingers slid along the long poles as I walked slowly. I began to feel weak after a few hours after my eyes began to become heavy. My plan was to lie down until there was a small glimmer of light, so I started running with my last bit of strength towards it. I got to an opening in the trees with one shining light going down in an area surrounded by trees. I sit in the middle to relax and bathe in the light until the light starts to go away. I start to hear crackling in the dark forest. It sounds almost like a fire. I start to run away hoping to get back to light and as I’m running I get hit in the arm with an arrow. I fall to the ground and I look up to see an undead skeletal creature standing in front of me with an arrow in hand. I try to flee but there is no use because I get shot in the leg then the head dies in a bloody pile.

I wake up to a void realm standing on a transparent floor and a shadow looming over the sky, my skin filled with the same shadow I start trying to find any source of life. As I walk in the empty plane I see one singular seed in dirt with a river flowing further than the eye can see. Without a second glance I start drinking the water quickly. As I'm drinking I see a small shadow move though the water quickly, I realize “It’s a fish '' I say quietly. Then more and more fish start to swarm the river going down. I follow the school of fish to a small village, I run and run hoping to find another humanoid creature. I knock on one of the small wooden doors. Nothing. I knock again, This time I get an answer from an old man looking down at me. The man says “ Hey there mate, what brings you here? '' he says with a calm matter. Even tho he looks old, he is still intimating with his size.” Umm.. Where am I” The old man replies,'' You don’t know where you are.” Then suddenly his expression turned from a calm and greeting look to an angry and furious look. The man say “ This is the city of Ancontura and you don’t know where you are, Then you shall perish.” The old man picks a giant metal ax and in fear I run yelling for help yet no one comes. The man swung the ax and I was barely able to doge the swing. As I keep on running behind me I hear an electric crackle, I turn around and I see him about to shoot me with a bolt of electricity. I put my hand up trying to defend myself and when electricity hit a black shield covered in shadow and mist blocked the attack. I grin. Using the shield I dash forward into the man. With the ax in hand, he commences to swing it. My shield blocks the swing and I knock him down with my punch. I stand over him and with my shield in hand I swing it down hitting him in the forehead knocking him out.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

I wonder why He was not angry. As I was pondering standing over him, I heard a yell coming from farther into the town. I decided to investigate. As I walk towards the noise, I see something horrifying. Blood,corpse, scattered broken shards of bone. It was like this place had been entirely massacred and one man stood behind it all. A tall man with a black long cloak, A Black top hat, his body facing away from me. The man says “It is not proper to assume gender”. I didn't even say a word to this man and yet he knew what I was thinking! The person continues “ well I’ll excuse this time,but that is not why I brought you here. I brought you here so that I could tell you something” I replied “ Tell me what”

“ Firstly I am known as the black cat, or The hatted shape shifter.” He said in a calm deep voice

“ What do you need from me?” I ask.

“Well you see, You're not supposed to be here yet, young one” He said.

Before I could speak He starts to walk towards me, he was still covered in shadow and mist making me unable to see his face. The closer he gets, the more tense I get until he is right in front of me. Frozen in fear, He put his paw -like hand on my head. He says “ wake up, Wake up, WAKE UP
