STORY STARTER

Humans fear the dark, but what happens for those who seek it...?

BEYOND

I seek the dark

That they all fear


But one must search

One must find the dark

To explore it


It shall be me

Or perhaps

An Expeditioner

One who must explore

Beyond us


I shall find it

I shall find the darkness

Who we all fear


So Iā€™ll go

Beyond

Into the Outer Zone

Where no oneā€™s been before


Iā€™ll walk and walk

All alone

Tilā€™ _she_ comes upon me


Sheā€™s Rayzea

Red hair

Slim figure

A common

Like me


One of the Seekers

Who seek the darkness

One who isnā€™t scared of it


We walk and walk

And talk and talk

Into the unknown

Not knowing what to expect

Tilā€™ _he_ comes upon us


He is Aizrai

Dark eyes

He looks tough

A Drifter


We all walk and walk

And talk and talk

Tilā€™ we see it


The dark

Standing in front of us


Thereā€™s people covering it

Vanguards

Seekers like us

And Sentries


We sneak

Into the dark

Only to be blinded by it


I see nothing

Yet continue

Into the dark


A hand on my shoulder

Whose hand?

Rayzeaā€™s?

Aizraiā€™s?

Or a Hiddenā€™s?


I ran

Farther towards the dark


Rayzeaā€™s scream pierced the air

Cracked the dark

A sliver of light became


Her scream got cut off

And she was goneā€¦


Iā€™d lost Aizrai

Heā€™d lost me


I followed the sliver

From Rayzeaā€™s shriek


And I began to see again

But differently

I saw color

Something Iā€™ve never seen

Ever


And there it was

A Hidden

Staring into my soul


I held my hand out

To touch it

But it ran

Faster than anything Iā€™ve seen


Aizrai

Where was he?


I searched and searched

Only to find his food pack

On the blue rock


Tears fell

I was alone

Again


There was no escape


Or was there?

Brightness came inside

And filled my soul


A group

They found me

They took me

To save me

From dark


I made it out

Alive
