Forde: Origins

"So, Khaston. How did you get into singing?"

Quinn's question rang in his head, as he was looking back on his past.

...

...

A 14 year old Khaston finished bleaching his now white hair. It was something that he wanted, and his parents didn't stop him. They also didn't stop him when he got a set of handcuffs, as they really didn't know about his purchase on the handcuffs.

He ate his breakfast, and walked to school.

His first class of the day was music. It was time to start singing, and this was one of the classes he enjoyed.

After class, Khaston looked at his pouch of zel.

He was running low on money, and he didn't have a job at the time. He took a look through a catalog one of his friends gave to him, and saw a job in the idol industry. He asked his friend to get him in, and he complied.

During the second class, Khaston was bored out of his mind. He was in his math class, and was reading his friend's job catalog behind his textbook.

During lunch, Khaston went to his usual spot in the library to get some rest.

After two more classes, Khaston left the school building after bringing his friend the magazine back. He went to the store, and saw the same job catalog. He bought it, still having enough zel for food.

Khaston then went to the tavern, where he ordered something healthy and light.

It was then that he saw Suul and Lex. They sat next to him, talking about the idol business.

"Lex, I know you were waiting for this idol audition for the DJ role. I was able to get a date for it, and then was told it was next week that they started."

Khaston paid for his food, and then left, hearing the info.

The next week passed, and every day, there were a lot of people coming to audition for the parts in the band.

Of course, Lex was the only person going for the DJ spot.

Khaston realized he was the last one there.

After three hours, Khaston finally got in the building.

Suul looked at Khaston. "What's your name, and what part are you going for?"

Khaston picked up the microphone. "I'm Khaston, and I'm going for the vocalist position."

Suul wrote down Khaston's info. "What song are you going to cover?"

"I'm going to sing Unravel's Cover by AmaLee."

"Okay, you are welcome to start once you are ready."

Khaston drunk water.

So, teach and tell me
Teach and tell me
The way these things work out

Is someone else in me?
Just waiting to break free?
The world keeps twisting – still it's twisting without an end in sight
You laugh and smile at me but you don't see a thing

I'm struggling just to breathe again
Could this one be my last?
Unravel me
Please unravel my soul
Make reality FREEZE

I'm breakable, unbreakable
I'm shakable, unshakable
And finally it drives me mad

Unravel this world around me
just before it pulls me under
But now at this rate I fear it's too late
Give up your searching
I don't want to be found
Your gaze would haunt me

I've thrown away reality and it has changed me
I'm not the same, don't call my name
Don't wanna hurt you
But if you must see look through your memory
That's where I will live on...

This loneliness is infinite
It's laughing at the innocent
I can't tune out the memory
I'm screaming out for mercy
Unravel me
Unravel my soul - Unravel ghoul

Inside I've been shaken, my sanity taken
Our broken halves, they intertwine
From once was yours and once was mine

I'm breakable, unbreakable
I'm shakable, unshakable
I won't let you contaminate me

Unravel this world around me just before it pulls me under
But now at this rate I fear it's too late
Give up your searching
I don't want to be found
Your gaze would haunt me

I've fallen in a wicked trap
But still, you reach for me
So close your eyes and say goodbye, before I'm history
But if you must see look through your memory
Because that's where I'll live on

So, don't forget me
So, don't forget me
So, don't forget me
Please - don't forget me

The changes inside were enough to paralyze
I doubt I'll survive in this hellish paradise
So, if you miss me look through your memory

So, teach and tell ...
Is someone else in me?
Just waiting to break free?

...

Suul and Lex began writing things down. "Okay. We'll give you a message when we're done with this."

Khaston drunk some water, and left.

A year passed after the auditions, and nobody had been confirmed with a letter.

15 year old Khaston got a letter from the talent agency, and opened it in front of his parents.

He read the letter, and shrieked in joy when he saw the word chosen in bold.

...

A week passed, and Khaston soon met the other four who were chosen. There was Lex, a brown haired man from Awakener Isle, a light blue haired male with black shades, and a red haired man.

"What's up? I'm Yun, chosen as the drummer," said the blue haired male.

"I'm Lex, the DJ. That white haired male is Khaston, the vocalist."

The brown haired man adjusted his gloves.

"I'm Kas, the keyboardist from Awakener Isle."

"I'm Ren, the guitarist. I wonder how much we can do."

Suul walked into the room. "I see we all met. I'm Suul, your manager. I've already found your costumes, so let's try them on!"

The five idols all tried on their costumes, white suits with embroidery of different colors.

Suul went to see how it was going, and opened the door after knocking.

"Fantastic! Now, all we have to do is train you five on the idol business!"

After a year of training, the idols found themselves in the dressing room, getting ready for their first live.

Khaston's flashback ended.

"Khaston, we should go get ready to practice before crazed super fans catch both bands eating lunch together."
