The Prophesied Mega: Devouring Tyrant or Sea Guardian?
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterStirring awake, a young, bedridden girl slowly wakes up, finding herself still in the same white room that has been her home for as long as she can remember, the beeping of the equipment, the sound of air being pumped...
Looking around, she finds the room empty, save for herself and the medical devices around her, much to her dismay, she hates being lonely... there's nothing else to do though, she's too weak to help herself stay alive, let alone actually moving...
As her lungs are filled with air in a poor attempt at mimicking breathing, every day is torture for this young girl, yet... it's the only way she can survive for now. But, she doesn't have long, even now, she can feel herself slowly slipping towards eternal sleep...
... However, she's not afraid, in fact, many days, she has silently begged for this, pleading in her mind to anything that's willing to listen to put an end to this slow death... in whatever way that is possible...
She only wishes that she could see her parents... or her brother... They cared for her so much, and even just listening to them made this living hell somewhat more bearable... even one of the somewhat scary doctors and weird nurses would be more welcome than this still silence...
She closes her eyes as she descends once more into a dreamless sleep..
The girl is jolted awake by the sound of a door closing loudly, and the sound of hard shoes- 'Or are they boots? It's hard to tell when you can't look down...' - clicking with every step on the tiled floor.
Eventually, she sees the source of the noise, an oddly average looking woman, in white business clothing, peers down at her.
The girl does not recognize the woman, yet, feels oddly neutral about seeing her, almost as if she were expecting this lady to arrive... and she notices her simple, small, yet piercing smile...
"You wish for your... pain to stop, yes?" the lady asks, a slight somber tone fills the question.
'Yes... please... it hurts...' the girl wanted to say, but couldn't through the tube in her mouth.
"Oh, you poor dear..." she says, cupping the girl's cheek, still smiling, yet her eyes betray the sadness hidden within. "Perhaps... I could offer you something better than simply a... quick end."
'Please... anything to... stop this...'
The lady in white closes her eyes, seeming to exude... a bit of joy, oddly.
"Wonderful, simply wonderful," she quietly exclaims. "Now, it'll go dark, and before long, you'll be enjoying your new life... with a new family."
'New... family...?'
"New family..." the lady says, then leans in and whispers, "... and no more pain..."
If the girl didn't know any better, she could swear she was feeling herself smile.
"Sleep well, little one," the lady says as she crouches beside the medical devices, "you'll be in your new home before you know it."
Suddenly, the devices cease all sound and movement, the girl now stuck with a lungful of air, giving her complete silence for a few moments, before some alarms begin to suddenly go off.
Slowly the world begins to become blurry and muffled, all sights and sounds slowly blurring into one another as she suddenly feels more tired than ever... and slowly she begins to close her eyes...
Once her eyes close, everything becomes black and slowly fades into silence.
