Water…

You can't see or feel anything… Just complete and empty nothingness…

You stay like this for a while, just drifting… Drifting in the vast sea of souls. Until…

A voice finds itself into your head. "This world…"

It sounds like the voice of a young woman. She spoke with bitterness in her voice, like she was desperately worrying about something. And yet she sounds peaceful, serene even… Like she knew how to keep her emotions in check even with the current state of things.

It even makes you feel at peace…

"This world cannot go on like this…" The voice repeats.

The darkness splits apart and suddenly, light. You can see it. You try to reach out to it, move towards it, anything! Just anything to stop being in this endless darkness!

It works, the light gets brighter, and brighter until you're engulfed by it.

And you wake up.

What was that dream, or was it even a dream at all…? You wonder.

Well, no point in dwelling over things like that. You must've fallen asleep again. You sigh heavily. Guess that's what you get for working overtime, even if you need the money.

Why didn't any of your co-workers wake you up though…? And why was it so quiet…?

You try to stretch a bit but it feels weird… Like you haven't moved in months, everything feels so hazy… And your body feels different…

You glance into the reflection of your office computer and almost jump back from what you see, a strange oddly colored horse with a purple coat, light purple hair with black stripes, and black eyes gazing right back at you.

The office chair falls over and you come tumbling out of it.

"What the…?"

What was that…? Who was that…? You look down where your hands would be just to find purple stubs instead.

It's you… But how, and why…? This shouldn't be possible…

You take a quick glance around. There's nobody else here… It looks like there hasn't been anyone here in ages too. Has long has it been, months, years…? You can't remember, as far you know it should the twenty-fifth of May.

Maybe this was all just some weird dream…? Well, there's only one way to find out go and investigate.

So you do.

Author's Note

And so it begins, I used 2nd person for this so I won't spoiler the new characters identity. It might be pretty obvious who they are by their appearance though....

hint: they looked pretty similar to a certain someone...
