Darkness simple unending darkness. This was what greeted the boy when his first thought appeared.

"What is this?" It was a thought that was yet to take a shape or form of any kind. Just a small plea that the mind cried out in order to take hold of what was around it. It did not expect an answer nor did it think it would get one. However, against all odds, it did.

"This is the world." Said another voice. Another entitiy, something that wasn't in the boy's head, but still close enough to feel and get a sensation from other then the darkness. This made the boy jolt in surprise, moving and feeling uncertain.

"Calm down young one, you are not in any danger, you are going to be alright. just let yourself calm down and relax. All im going to do is inpart some knowledge unto you to speed up the growing process a bit." Then all of a sudden the boy could feel something flowing into him. And things started to dawn on him. Definitions he could understand. He knew now he was an unborn child, barely even considered alive yet. in his mother's womb. He could see almost outside himself, a vision of a woman in a chair with a large belly. She looked warm and happy. With light blue hair and eyes that sparkle in a silver light. All of these feelings and sensations he felt he knew and had known forever were in him. But that was impossible, he thought to himself. There isn't any way for him to have known these things, After all he didn't have any memories other then a second ago. When he got his answer to what this is. And the only one who he could ask was that person.

"Who are you?" He asked, Now back in this darkness that he percieved now as his mothers womb. Even with these knew definitions and concepts of reality between himself and others. There was still confusion and most of all he had no idea what this presence was.

"Ah good it worked, it appears you've stabilized little one. Much easier to talk to you now rather then a newborn infant. Ah as for your question I go by many names, but you should call me talnax, and i am your contracted spirit. But do not worry about such matters right now. Just know that i will always be here with you." This revelation calmed the boy he now had full control of his emotions and this being seemed to be very strong and kind. He had nothing to guage this with but it was more of an instinct then any kind of logic.

"Thank you." The boy said almost a whisper in his own mind.

"Oh, my. Aren't you a gracious one. You're welcome child. But i believe that's enough chit-chat for now you shoud go to sleep now and rest. I will seal most of you knowledge until you have grown a little, Don't wan't you becoming too different from a normal child. We'll just give a higher learning capacity than others." All of a sudden things became abstract again to the boy but it wasn't bad, he just drifted away back into the darkness.
