《Singer Sailor Merchant Mage》Prologue: Nothing special
Advertisement
"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten."
Nicholas Sparks
There was nothing ever particularly special about me. I led a relatively normal and ordinary life right up until my death. I have often woken up from sleeping and thought, "Am I still dreaming?" Often struggled to differentiate my dreams from reality. Woken up to be angry that I can no longer fly.
That’s how this moment of memory started for me.
. . .
I was on my way home after a long day of work. Dusk had fallen and the sky was turning when I hit the ice. I must have driven past the slow down sign 1000 times before and as usual, I did.
Hitting the brakes as I came up to the corner. Unfortunately, that is when I hit the ice. The car spun. Like the ice I froze, unable to move as the car careened out of control. Pushed into the side of the car I felt it shudder as it pressed through the barrier before flipping off the side of the road and over the side of the cliff. It was a long way down.
. . .
Drifting out of the depths of unconsciousness, I felt alone.
. . .
Tuntun, tuntun. I could feel my heartbeat as if I’m underwater.
. . .
Tuntun, tuntun. We all die alone, the thought came unprompted.
. . .
Tuntun, tuntun. But it turned out I’m not alone, Lub dub.
. . .
My heart was racing but it kept time with another.
. . .
Lub dub,
. . .
Tuntun, tuntun, tuntun,
. . .
Lub dub.
. . .
A heartbeat that was moving slower than mine but still they kept time together. Two beats to my six, still their speed rose and fell together.

. . .
Once more from the pit of oblivion I arose, with the thought "I think therefore I am."
. . .
tuntun, tuntun.
. . .
My heartbeat therefore I was alive, tuntun, tuntun, but I felt no pain
. . .
so . . . "Either I’m injured beyond belief . . . or I’m fine?" I thought to myself.
. . .
"Have I woken up from dreaming but still find myself unable to move?" I wondered.
. . .
"Was that what seemed to be happening here . . . " I speculated.
. . .
I just had to wait. I would either awake or fall back into nothingness.
. . .
Lub dub,
. . .
tuntun, tuntun, tuntun,
. . .
lub dub.
. . .
Slowly I swam up out of my stupor, I opened my eyes but all I could see was an orange glow. Waking to the warmth I found myself floating and without warning, I could hear now more than just a heartbeat. I was suddenly surrounded by sound. A humming filled my head. The notes rose and fell, the lullaby already unknowingly remembered, and soothed, I once more fell to sleep.

Was I awake or . . . was I still dreaming?

The Viadon Project: Extinction
In the year 2080, a group of fanatics believed that the world was going to end. In order to save the human race from extinction, a man named Damian Hunts created a time machine and travelled back in time to the Cretaceous Period alongside his fellow believers. They built a massive city on the continent of Laramidia, and named it Viadon. To keep their future generations from travelling back to a broken future, Damian and the Founding Families destroyed the time machine and created a their own version of history, completely leaving out the fact that they had time travelled, and that the Mass Extinction would happen thousands of years later. Two-thousand years later, the future generations of Viadon have no idea of their ancestors pasts, but things start to unravel quickly as Time Travelers come to warn them of impending doom. Vocabulary:Laramidia: was an island continent that existed during the Late Cretaceous period (99.6-66 Ma), when the Western Interior Seaway split the continent of North America in two.
