Author's Note

Hellur! It's me again!

This chapter has nothing to do with the actual story, (It's an interlude) And thus is very short.
The reason I made this is because I'm still writing the story, but I'm planning on releasing the next real chapters on the last few days of October.

For now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy this tiny chapter.


Reality? (Interlude "Reality")

Onyx's Point Of View

"Damn....." I said to myself as I rubbed my head, "Where.... Am I...?" I sat up from my resting place. I was in some kind of hospital room, some weird cables were stuck to my arms, and a needle was going straight into my left arm. Last thing I remembered was.... Nothing... Not even my name. What happened to me? All I know is that I was in a world of pain, and my right cheek burned badly. I tried to stand up, but another storm of pain pushed me back down. I was wearing some kind of blue patient robe, covering my body up past my knee. I lifted my robes a bit to check for any damage, and saw my chest, burned and cut in various areas, my stomach had a large scar across it, signs of previous stitches along the edge. Some of my left leg had severe burns, while my right leg had signs of various bruises.

Suddenly, a doctor and nurse walked into the room, talking to each other, a sad expression on their faces. Of course, when the doctor turned to face me, they both went quiet. The nurse dropped a tray with syringe on it, making the glass shatter and made liquid go everywhere. Both of their jaws were hanging wide open in shock.

"You- You're awake..." The doctor spoke quietly. He snapped out of his state of shock and told the nurse to grab his clipboard. The nurse stormed out of the room, yelling at some people in the hallways about something I couldn't pick up.

"Yep, looks like I am." I said as I layed back on the bed, both arms folded behind my head.

"This... This is a miracle! A true blessing!" The doctor smiled widely, raising both his arms to the ceiling.

"I'd say it's more of a curse than a blessing, but why do you say it's a miracle?" I actually started to piece the scenario together pretty fast, and I knew that I was going to regret that question.

"Well, you see, you've been in a coma for almost nine months," He started, making me start to frown. "And today was going to be the day we, you know, pull the plug... but you woke up!" He ended his sentence with another smile, making my mind ache as I tried to remember what happened.

"..." I just sat there, contemplating how I was just a few moments away from being put to sleep, eternally. The doctor noticed my realization.

"I can leave you alone if you want, I mean, I understand how you must feel." He offered as he started heading towards the door.

"Yes, please do." I replied as I tried to hold back a few tears that started to form. The doctor stepped out into the hallway and shut the door gently. I looked at my hands, admiring my burnt, sweaty palms. What the hell happened to me? I tried to remember some more details, and then some memories struck me, making a single question come to my head:

Where's Discord?
