2 Prologue (2/2)

Darkness.

That was all Mako was aware of in his sleeping state of mind. This by itself was unusual as Mako would always experience some semblance of color when dreaming. Though he never really remembered his dreams in particular, he knew that this level of pitch black darkness had never been present. Not to mention that in this darkness he could think clearly as if he were awake which made it seem like a lucid dream, a dream where the dreamer knows that they are dreaming.

Mako felt that he was probably lying on his bed right now at home after getting back from the fight earlier at school. He had lay down for his afternoon nap and fallen asleep, thus leading to this scenario where he was floating in a sea of endless darkness that was void of any kind of light.

He couldn't control the dream but he did retain the ability to think clearly, although this was more of a torture than an actual gift as he quickly grew bored of the never-ending expanse of black space. If he had been allowed to control the dream, he would have chosen a nice scenery with lush green grass underneath a tall sturdy tree for the express purpose of laying underneath it.

"You have been chosen!!"

A voice rang out through the darkness, a deep raspy sound that sounded ancient yet contained great power. The voice didn't seem to belong to a physical form but rather seemed to emanate from the darkness that surrounded Mako. It lead him to believe that this was more than a simple dream as he had never once experienced something like this before.

"You, the descendant of the wolf goddess Lupa have proven yourself a match for the challenge. Your intellect, your bravery, and your desire for strength has deemed you worthy of being transferred to a world that will offer you the chance to soar to even greater heights. You shall be bestowed with limitless energy befitting that of a demigod and the ability to use any technique, but mastering it and training your body will be up to you. Show the gods that they were not wrong in choosing you. Go forth and change history!!"

Mako didn't understand what the voice was saying, but his brain started spinning through countless theories and possible explanations. Apart from being great at fighting, he possessed a mind that far surpassed a normal person, allowing him not only to keep calm in tough situations, but also find the best way to solve a problem with what he had.

However, just as soon as he had begun to rapidly form a response, a bright light appeared from a far distance away and began to rapidly expand. The darkness, which had been akin to the vaccuum of space, was pushed back as the light grew closer and ever so brighter. Eventually Mako had to shut his eyes in order to avoid blinding himself, the light shattering the darkness and filling up the void.

The last thing that passed through Mako's mind before he "lost consciousness" was the fact that he didn't even get to ask what world the voice was supposed to be sending him to.
