Chapter 3 - Okay, I Agree

' Who am I?'.

In this blackness, I try moving my arm

' Why am I here?'.

' Was I trying to do something?'.

" Bring him with me".

I here a voice.

But I can't hear what it is saying.

' What's happening here?'.

My eyes slowly open.

I can't see properly at first and everything is blurry.

But after blinking for a few times, my eyesight clears.

I look around.

I see and feel myself lying down somewhere.

I try sitting up straight.

But the way I am sleeping feels too relaxing and I fail.

' Why do my hands feel so weak?'.

"Hello".

I look to my right.

I see a woman standing there with a smile on her face.

" Uh".

I sit up straight quickly.

' What's this?'.

' When someone comes that's when you, my body wants to have strength".

" Hello".

I try to smile as I say this, but I fail.

So I quickly stand up.

" Please sit back down".

I was about to go and find somewhere else to sit, but since she said I sit, I should sit.

So I sit back down and look at this woman.

She still has a smile on her face.

She gets a wooden chair and sits down facing me.

" May I ask your name, sir?".

But I don't respond immediately.

' What is my name?'.

I just sit there, thinking hard.

Trying to remember anything about me.

But I can't.

" I don't know".

She nods.

" Then can you tell me where you are from?".

She speaks very softly.

" I don't know that either".

My mind is still on my name.

' What's my name?'.

" I don't know where I am from either".

Then we just sit there in silence.

' Is there anything on my body that has a name and whatever?'.

I start checking in my clothes.

But I found they have no pockets.

' Why did me in the past wear clothes with no pockets'.

But I still check my clothes.

" What are you doing?".

" Just checking my clothes for anything related to the past".

" Why not check this room?".

She waves her hand as she says this.

" You see".

I stop shuffling through my clothes.

" I doubt this place is where I used to live".

The smile that left her face comes back.

" OH, why is that?".

" First, I don't know you , don't feel any sense of familiarity from you either".

" And I doubt I would live here since you don't know me".

" If you knew me, you would have acted vastly different".

I say all that in one breath.

" And there are many more flaws about the concepts of me living here".

" Anyways, I will just go outside".

Before she can say anything, I stand up and walk away.

' This place is so small, so even if I don't know where the exit is, I can atleast find quickly'.

I find the exit quickly and just sit somewhere random.

I breath in a breath of fresh air.

' This is a really beautiful place'.

A small breeze passes by as it makes my hair flutter.

' That's annoying'.

I make my palm cover my whole face.

' So, back to questioning my origins'.

My thought go quiet for a bit.

' I can't remember anything'.

' No headaches when I try to'.

' Was I powerful before?'.

' If I was, I am sure I was a complete fool since I somehow lost my memories'.

' But wait'.

' My current personality and knowledge had to be based in what I knew before'.

' And I doubt someone with my personality would try to go above and beyond'.

' Then what the hell happened'.

' Maybe I was betrayed'.

' An accident'.

' No no no'.

I shake my head.

' Why should I bother my self with this nonsense'.

' All that has happened'.

' I don't think it even is a good idea to discover my past'.

' Why should I of all people waste my time with trying to find my memories'.

' If I was powerful, I would just get involved in power struggles, chasing strength and protecting'.

A smile comes on my face.

' If rather just live in isolation, alone or with..'.

My nose smells something good, so I remove the hand in my face and look up to see where it is coming from.

' Is this the smell of food, the area, or plants?'.

But I see the woman from earlier just standing in front of me.

' Oh, the smell is coming off of her'.

' What does she need anyway?'.

" Hello there, is there anything you need from me?".

A smile comes on my face as I talk.

It just comes naturally.

" No".

" I have come to ask if you have eaten anything yet".

' If I have eaten'.

' I don't even know how long I have been here'.

' I don't if I ate anything before coming here'.

' And I don't even have my memories!'.

' What do you mean?'.

' You are very..'.

' What are you thinking, stop, she helped me'.

While all this is happening in my mind, the smile is still on my face.

" I don't know that either".

' What else can I say?'.

' Don't ask me impossible questions that are very obvious, woman'.

' Oh, right I don't know her name'.

' I can't be rude to her every single time'.

' And I obviously can't be just calling her woman'.

" Miss, may I know your name?".

The woman who just turned around and was leaving stopped for a very short time before answering.

" My name is Lysera".

She then continued walking.

I watched her as she entered her house.

' Okay, so her name is Lysera'.

I stand up.

I then look at the opening, the trees, grass.

' This is a forest'.

' Is it deep in'.

' I think so'.

I then start walking around the openings outer perimeter.

' So, I guess I have to start practicing this thing that for some reason my memories ot whatever are calling energy'.

' It isn't called energy for sure'.

' Maybe I just didn't want to know the real name'.

I finish walking around the circle for the first time.

But I still continue walking.

' I will try using it later'.

' It is not going to be very useful right now if I am going to be staying near Lysera'.

' Or if I am going to be living with her'.

' I will decide on that later'.

' But this amnesia I have'.

My eyes narrow.

' It is too strange'.

' How can I remember so much'.

' The way on how to use energy in my mind is very broad'.

' It's almost like I haven't forgotten everything'.

'But it still seems to be cut'.

' There many other things I remember too'.

'But it seems everything about my personal life is gone'.

A very disturbing smile comes on my face.

' Why is it like that?'.

' Is there a being that chose which I keep and which I don't?'.

The disturbing smile on my face turned more disturbing and cold.

Even my whole expression turned cold.

' I really need the truth'.

' I don't lies'.

' I want to know the truth of everything'.

' I want to know....'.

I stop my thoughts as I see a red and gold light brightly flashing in front of me.

The smile in face disappears and my expression turns normal.

' What's this crappy thing in front of me'.

The red and gold light stops flashing brightly as a red screen with gold at the end.

With golden characters written on it.

[ What are you calling ' crappy'].

I close me eyes and shake my head.

' I might truly be going insane if something like this useless thing has appeared'.

I then open my eyes and look ahead at where that thing is.

And it is still there.

But more characters have been added.

With the original one on top.

[ Do you want to know your name?]

I nod my head.

" I do of course".

" But why should I ask you?".

[ Unless you are saying you will name yourself and go around introducing yourself as that].

" I did consider that".

" But I didn't ever think of doing it" .

" I think it is better to be nameless than go around with a fake name".

[ For you, of course it is].

My eyes just widen a bit.

" You know a bit about my past and me?" .

It is shocking.

But not very so.

[ I know about your past, you little boy].

" Do not call me a little boy!!!" I roared out.

[ Why should I not?].

I am certain I heard it laugh.

I breath in a big breath and breath out.

I do it again and again, until I calm down.

" You win this time, but never expect me to yield again" I grit my teeth as I spoke.

" What the hell do you need from me any ways?".

[ I will help you get your wish of knowing the truth of everything, but you need to help me with something too].

I shake my head immediately.

" No can do red thing".

[ Why not?].

" If something as strong as you can't solve it, what more me?".

' Put up your guard, I know it will counterattack with it's words'.

The screen just stays without the characters changing for a bit of time.

Then after that, the characters change.

[ I will teach you about yourself, the world and how to use energy].

" Okay, I agree".

[ Say 'Status'].
