Wake up said a calm sirene voice.
Arthur opened his eyes founding himself floating in a void. Where am i? he questioned. You are in a destroyed world,Arthur became confused but did not respond till a minute later. Is this a dream or did i really die? he shivered from the thought but hoped it was not the bad answer. You are dead but i can give you a second chance. Arthur shivered again and then questioned,can you send me home? or is there a catch?. I will send you home only if you overcome my trial. Your trial? What trial? questioned Arthur. I will not say but i can guarantee your return home. Arthur felt suspicious and lost at the same time,(is this thing or whatever can really send me home? can it be trusted?... it seems have no option to object heh). I accept your trial but please do fill me in on where i will take your trial. Very well safe travels blessed child of fate.
Suddenly arthur felt drowsy then darkness then light emerged.
Where... am... i... now?. Your in a cathedral of Eastrae responded the female voice. Arthur looked at the responder;black hair,deep blue eyes and curled horns. Who... are... you?. The young lady smiled,i am your shadow and closest. Arthur rubbed his eyes hoping that this "dream" is just a "dream" or "hallucination". Are you real? or just a dream?. Just a shadow replied the young lady. Arthur stopped rubbed his eyes then looked once more at the young lady. Well if that's true... then my name is arthur, what yours?. the young lady her eyes and face shifted elsewhere with a embarrassed expression,i don't a name. Arthur looked at her with a puzzled expression,why don't you have a name?. It's because i am a shadow, shadows don't have names. (Shadows don't have names?) well i don't know what is a shadow by your definition, but can i give you a name?. The young lady looked back at him with a wide smile,name by you? it will be an honor. (An honor? did her screws got loose?)Then your name will be Melissa. She hugged now with a warm smile,thank you. Arthur felt strange feeling from the hug but couldn't figure why. Well since we are acquainted can you show me out this-he looked up-massive cathedral?. She unwrapped her arms then got up with two hands on her hips still smiling,sure follow me.
