I was falling and slowly my eyes had closed hypersonicly. I wish I had called out his name, but he couldn't hear me no matter what I did because we were going down and our bodies felt like they wouldn't ever be in one place; we were suspended in an unlimitless world.

The Beginning

Something just wasn't right, I had felt different and there was a smell trailing up to my nostrils irritating me very much. Was that.. incense? My eyes were wet and I felt something damp on my forehead. At least my senses weren't.. damaged? I suddenly sprang up fore ward realizing I wasn't in the sample place anymore. I had become conscious yet encountered a smiling wrinkling two toothed man; old man?!

"O - Oji - san? What the hell is the meaning of this?" I yelped out of the bed barely able to stand. The small wetness had slipped off my forehead as a paper spanked the floor quickly after I had stood. "What is the meaning of this?"

His face became stern and a bit concerned, "You do not remember your own grandfather? I guess it was a bit more serious than I thought."

"I just called you.. oji - san though.." I said with a sad mask fluttering undeniably.

"You never call me that! You're obviously suffering from something serious." he said as he stayed where he was; his body was becoming stiffer on the chair by the second. "You fell from the portal to this world. I had known you when you were younger, but your father and I sent you to the human world. This is Sever."
