Astral
I begin to move towards the cry for help. As I walk, I notice something off. Where is everybody? All nearby structures are in disrepair. What is going on?
I see someone in the distance. "Hey!" I yell.
They do not respond.
I walk towards them. "I'm kinda lost," I continue, "could you tell me where I am?"
The person turns towards me. Their flesh is decaying, their left eyeball dangles out of their socket. Their stare pierces my soul. It lunges at me.
I counter, but my attack goes clean through. It's only then I notice my hand fading in and out of existence like smoke. It dances like a dieing fire.
The... Let's call it gross ass guy, leaps at me. I douge.
The gross ass guy stares at me. I sprint away. The gross ass guy does not give chase.
I reach a destroyed settlement. I see a faceless being with a sword about to kill a girl. You can tell there was a struggle, the ground is torn up, shattered concrete is scattered about.
"Hey!" I yell. The being turns to me, its empty pits like windows to the abyss.
"You?" It asks, "Thought you were dead. Eh, oh well."
"You listien here," I reply, "I have no clue what's going on, but I do know I'm not going to sit idly by and let you kill the only normal person I've seen. So, you better explain what's going on here."
"You don't know?" The being asks, "heh, well, doesn't matter. Time to end this." The being lunges at me. I douge.
I try to use magic. A beam of pale energy shoots from my arm, striking the being, but nothing happens. The being shrugs off my attack."
"Without physical form," the being smirks, "you'll never be strong enough to stop me."
No! It can't end like this! I still know nothing about my past! I just started remembering stuff a few moments ago! Not yet! Not like this! I shoot another beam, but unlike my last attack, it's a golden color, it's warm, comforting, like the sun. The blast actually injures the being, burning its flesh.
"Fine," it sighs, "I'll have the corpses handle you. Goodbye." The being flees with inhuman speed. I hear a distint cry, loud, feral, hostile. Gross ass guys are approaching. I go to the girl.
"Wake up!" I yell. The girl opens her eyes.
I'm alive? How? Who the hell are you?
I don't fucking know! However, we don't have time to talk, we gotta move! Before the decaying corpses or gross ass guys or whatever you call them arrive!
