Can you hear the silence? Yes, in this moment all you hear is silence, now listen closely, closer and you might hear it. My heart as it barely beats, my tears as they fall upon the cold hard ground, my lungs as they fill with blood. Some say that there is peace in death, that there is a silence as you begin to fade away, but I've never heard so much in my entire life, like I'm attempting to treasure my last moments in this world, as if every little detail counts. Its peaceful in it's own way, like I'm seeing the world for the first time. And as I pass on, my last memory was of her.
But those days were so far away from me now, almost like a dream. It all began two years ago like most love stories with a boy and a girl, don't worry this isn't your average love story, as it is one filled with pain, suffering and many challenging obstacles to overcome. And I know you're sitting there like "that's what all love stories are like, so what makes this any different?" And well to be honest you'll have to wait and see.
Okay so now that's dealt with let's begin our tale.
Clay was your usual anxiety struck teenager, his life existed more virtually than anything else for as long as anyone could remember he was glued to a screen be it hand held gaming, consoles or his computer. And even now in his late twenties nothing has changed, he has never known love nor how to love, this never bothered him though. He never sought affection or approval from people, he never really sought anything, he had no desires, no friends, nothing, nothing but his technology and a very dodgy browser history (I mean this is some next level shit right here)
But that was all about to change.
One night as he was fast asleep he had a most peculiar dream, he was running in a forest, faster than he had ever ran before, in the distance was a voice calling out for help. He ran and ran until he reached the edge of a lake, there was nothing but water ahead of him it stretched as far as he could see, and yet the owner of the voice which was now screaming was nowhere to be seen. Clay dropped to his knees at the waters edge and looked into its depths, he expected to see his own scrawny reflection staring back.

Alas his gaze was met by that of a woman's, her eyes almost hidden by a veil of tears. She stopped crying, and pulled a faint smile.
"We're out of time"(Woman)
And at that he woke.
The dreams were recurring, each night as he fell asleep he would talk to the woman in the water, and as time passed he fell in love with her and lived happily ever after, spending every night with her.
The end.
No, of course that's not how it ends. This night when Clay fell asleep the girl was no where to be found, and his life once more became empty. Night after night he found himself at the lakes edge staring into the water, hoping he'd catch even just the slightest glimpse of her but he never did. And when he was finally about to give in...
That's when he found it, the note she had left him.
"Dear Clay
I'm sorry, for I will never see you again. I am soon to be forcefully wed to the ruler of my world, and I will never be able to return to this lake to see you.
Oblivion Agiira
Love Amaya"
He read it over and over again. The words Oblivion Agiira stuck in his mind, when he woke up he spent hours searching the Internet to try and find even the slightest reference to word Agiira, but it wasn't a word in any known language.
so he decided to ask Amaya, as he once more stood by the edge of the water he shouted the words "OBLIVION AGIIRA" but there was no reply, he thought he had truly lost her when...
A section of the water drained away revealing a stone staircase.
he walked over to the stairs and without even a second thought he descended the stairs into her world, the world of oblivion.
