《Gallinus》1- The beginning
Advertisement
Ah, what’s happening to me? I just woke up and found myself in a deep darkness…
My body is all squeezed and, somehow, strange. It feels like I’m in a ball.
I cannot feel some parts of my body, just as some others seem to move in a strange way.
Must it be because I‘m in this grip, that I’m feeling strange, right? How do I get out of here?
I try to move my hands to push my surroundings, but they just slide.
Are my fingers numb? I can’t feel their touch!
Without choices, I try to kick the wall, but it’s just made the ball spin a little.
… I can’t get out of here.
Not knowing what to do, I start to notice more and more how strange my own body is.
… Just, what happened to me?
My memories become confused as a headache strikes me.
Because of the pain, I squirm inside the ball and end up hitting my face in it.
…Did the wall just crack?
I don’t understand well, but there is something really hard on my face, to be able to break it.
Furthermore, I did not feel any pain when I did it.
Since this worked, I will continue.
Again, I hit my face against the wall, just to hear another cracking sound.
Finally, the light… But it is very strong!
For some reason, my eyes are much more sensitive than they used to be.
Since I can’t keep my eyes open, I kept breaking the wall with them closed.
It wasn’t a long time before I finally broke enough to crack the ball form the sides and open it in half.
When I left, I tried to open my eyes slowly…
…AHHH! What is it!!
The moment I look ahead, I see a giant watching me.

What is happening?!!
The giant’s appearance in front of me was that of a girl. She had a long blue hair and blue-gray eyes.
The girl was wearing a beautiful white dress that would probably be worn in extremely important situations.
Around her are several different people, men and women, who wear white clothes similar to the girl’s.
They communicate in a language that I don’t know a single word.
The buildings around me look like an old sanctuary, mainly because of the pedestal that I am on.
Is it a dream?
As soon as I asked myself that, I finally moved my arm forward and could see it.
It is a small wing with black feathers.
…What?!
I move my arm several times to confirm that it was really my arm.
Ah, I went crazy.
Looking down on me, I find that my foot has turned orange, thin and with 3 toes.
… I have a chicken foot …
My brain stopped working in this moment, not wanting to accept what was going on.
No more thoughts, I decide to observe the surroundings, as if I were playing a VR.
Without moving from the place, I watch everyone while I don’t understand what they say.
I only judge them by their reactions and movements.
First of all, as soon as I return my attention to everyone, I notice that they seem really surprised at me.
Right after that, as if returning from a trance, the girl in front of me puts a necklace around my neck and then kneels, as if she were praying.
A few seconds later, she gets up and stay silent, just like the others.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but one of the people, an old man who appeared to be very wise, came to me and start watching me.
It didn’t take long for him to be astonish and then exclaim something to the people behind him. He looks really angry.
A discussion occurs and, finally, the girl with blue hair takes me in her hands, not letting anyone approach.
… This film could, at least, have a subtitle.
After more discussions and some events, the girl takes me out of that place.

8 211Chronicles of Trial and Error (re-write)
It was supposed to be a simple trip, a throw back to the highschool joys they once had as teens. Brandon was not ready to go into the light just like that. But alas, the light came to them and he could only resign himself to getting dragged along, taking solace in having Tim along for some of the ride.
8 158Neophyte: Common Route
A story about self-discovery, interpersonal relationships, magic and magical creatures-- and a silent war. Marsha is about seven years past adulthood and still feels like a scared child in her parents' home. This is exacerbated when she discovers her father has apparently keyed up his destructive, sadistic habits-- leading to a mad dash out of the house with precious cargo in tow and only one idea where to go. This begins her journey, leading to a discovery that will change her life forever. And she never wants to go back. (Warnings: Lots of descriptions of abusive, sadistic and otherwise traumatizing and triggering behavior that a parent perpetuated toward a child or multiple children. Descriptions of violence, a main character with emotional issues that will be dealt with, and a whole lot of the 'aftermath' of battles in a war. Even a few descriptions of some of those battles. Things of that nature. If you can't handle one of those, please do not read.) {I had this idea to write a 'common route' and then 'romance routes' like they do in otomes? Book 1 is the common route, and then at book 2, you choose your love interest. Each of which is encased in their own book.}
