 Ba-bump. Ba-bump.

 Uh? It's dark. And it hurts.. Why does my chest hurts this much? Wait. First, where am I?

 It's completely dark, this damn place.. I tried to move my hands the long of the wall, and it seems to be a little room. I wonder what's this place..

 Ba-bump.

 Ugh! It hurts...! Shit, stop this! Why and what hurt this much..

 Ba-bump.

 I opened my eyes. It seems I collapsed from the pain.. Now there's some silver light in the room. Where does it come from? I looked up and see a little hole in the wall. But I can't leave since this is so small.. I looked again at the little hole and see the outside. The sky's dark so it's night. The light come from two moons high in the sky, one little and another big one behind. I can see the ground from there so I'm probably one level underground.

 Now that I think about it, I'm quiet calm about that shitty situation.. Juste who.. Eh? Wait, that's true that. Just who I am?

 Name, age, physique, where I came from, family, friends.. I cant remember any of them. What the hell is that? What happened to me.. Why am I here? What's this room that look like a prison? Did I do something bad to be locked in here? I started to breath heavily.

 OK, let's calm first.. Panicking won't do anything good with that situation.

 Ba-bump. Ba-bump.

 Urg.. My chest hurts again.. Seriously what's that.....

 And I fainted again.

 Once again, I opened my eyes. I think I collapsed again. I also noticed a little pain in the back of my head, but it's different from the earlier's one. I must have fell and hit my head...

 So, I need to organize my thoughs. It seems I'm amnesiac. I can't remember anything about me or anything else. I'm locked in a strange place for some unknown reason. I can somewhat see the room now and the only thing in that room is the bed in which I woke up. I tried to move the bed to reach the hole but it didn't moved an inch, it seems it's fixed to the floor.

 Now that I can see a little better, there is no door. How did I enter then? No, more importantly, how can I leave? I may be locked here and oblivious of all the things that surround me but that don't mean I'll just accept everything and wait for who knows what may happen...

 Think about it too heavily won't help, for now I'll just sleep and see if I can't think of something useful.

 And so, I throw myself on the bed, but...

 BANG !

 Man.. It's hard! How can I sleep on this thing? There isn't a mattress or even a sheet.

 My shirt is torn everywhere also, I wonder how it can be put in this kind of state.

 Uh? Now that I take a closer look, under one of the hole, there's something strange drawn on my chest. Is this that drawing that hurted so much?

 I removed it to see what it was and there's something strange on my chest in front of my heart. A big scar and an odd pattern in the same place.

 The pattern ressemble some kind of ancient magic circle.. Seriously, how can I know this?

 “Tsk,” I clicked my tongue. Let's not think about it for now, even if the bed's kind of like steel, I need to sleep in order to recover some strenght.

 I looked up toward the little hole et stared at the two moons which where there, outside. I don't why, but I said “Good night.” toward the sky. And I fell silent, as if I were waiting for a response...
