Chapter 11: A Strange Awakening

TheSaltyCookie Literary / Fiction 5 hours ago

I feel blinded. I can see a bright cyan light in my face but nothing else. Just the light.

“Guardian?” I hear from a strange voice. “Where are you?” I hear it again “Ah there you are”.

My body tingles. My vision slowly begins to come back. I cover my face, blocking my eyes from the light and see my hand. It is covered in a bright glow and then the glow dissipates.

I feel...strange.

I look up from my hand to see a floating object and it moves closer to my face. It looks like a ball surrounded by polygonal shapes.

Out of fear I swing at it but it vanishes. It then reappears closer to my face.

“I have been looking for your guardian," the strange robot says.

“Guardian?” I am confused, “What do you want me for?”.

“Just follow me, we need to get you to the tower” the robot backs up and I try to stand up. I topple over and get up once more.

I am in a building of some sort. It is in ruins. There is a faded velvet carpet and upturned tables. Leaning against a nearby wall is a corpse with a gap in its chest. I feel a sudden sorrow. He must have died quickly. The more I look around the more corpses I see, a few of them being something inhuman. How did I get here? Who am I?

I see the floating robot leave the building and I follow. The streets are even more ruined. More corpses line the streets. Some look like they were running. A few holding weapons such as knives and firearms. One corpse is by the door to the building. The only thing left on them besides their skeleton is a ring. Seems oddly familiar.

They continue down the street and he finally asks the question “What are you?”
