PROLOGUE: THE BOY AND THE CLOCKTOWER

Tap…tap…tap…tap

-How much far is that stupid tower!?

He continued to run to the tower , but never got close.

He ran and ran and ran until he decided to stop and rest.

Pant..pant…pant…pant…

He gasped for air,he had been running non-stop to reach the tower but was unsuccessful in doing so.

Catching his breath, he looked towards the tower from far away.

He sat down and rested for a few minutes to regain his energy and think back from the beginning when he woke up here.

' He woke up in this place and saw a light which pulled him to follow it and he followed it which led to this place' he recalled what happened and looked around his surroundings to look for the light again but it disappeared. He thought that this was a dream but it felt too surreal, especially his heart telling him to go to the tower.

Minutes had passed by and he regained his strength, stared at the tower from a distance and let time pass by to think of a plan to get through but saw the light again and he nodded and followed the little ball light. As the light began going faster, he began running to catch up to the light and never lose sight of it again Endless running trapped in a surreal dream he never mind it all because he felt happy here and be hugged by her warmth, his heart wants to stay here neither his mind or body disagree. He was close to the tower and he began running faster and faster till he reached the door. Catching his breath his hand lay into the door after recovering his breath, he then opened the door and was greeted by the scenery of the other side. The large pink lake and the light pinkish sky draught by this beauty he seemingly stepped in without thinking as the door disappeared behind him. The smell of roses in the air made him dreamy and felt like a child. The golden trees in his surrounding as the leaves fall made his inside felt with overflowing happiness. He recalled his memories of his childhood that was full of life and innocence, the smile showed in his face and the mind full of curiosities of his childhood played on his mind. Bit by bit his vision blurred, mixing with the darkness.Finally the darkness swallowed him up in a cold feeling only thing he felt nothing more.

While slowly losing away in this dark cold place he felt a warm light he tried to look where but only saw darkness around him as if he had lost his eyes. But the light's warmth still stayed urging to open his eyes much to his avail, the darkness he only wanted to see,it kept pestering him, opening his eyes, making him pretty annoyed. This kept going on and on until he forcibly opened his eyes and saw a deep blue color. He looked at his left and saw sand making him realize that he was on the ocean floor drowning away. He quickly swam up but was losing air to breath but he never gave up and swam up for air but all this movement made him gasp for air more until his vision was getting blurry and black. His body finally gave in and fell back to the deep while his consciousness faded, a warm light had caught him and tried to get him back to the surface while his will kept him alive. While the light kept pulling him up another one joined and began lifting him back as their number increased, successfully bringing him from the surface.

Gasp

He was gasping for air, he nearly died and that could be the end of it. This surreal dream he experienced became a nightmare from him having experienced death' cold hugged. He lay on the grass and stared at the light pink sky and recalled his nearly death experience by being drowned. He felt scared and wanted to cry. He almost died and left this world. The orbs of light saw his state and comforted him and let out a whimper. He noticed the ball of lights comforting him and thanked them with a smile on his face. He got up and looked around the place once more but the light pink sky turned red as well as the lake, the trees turned black from gold and the green grass to a dark one.. The place had changed revealing its true colors. The monster came out and bowed at him, treating him as their king, confusing the boy. The ball of lights form a close circle around him trying to protect him. A monster was overjoyed and chanted "Our king is back!" In unison confusing the boy, he wanted to get out of here the heavy air making him sick until a voice whispered to jump back through the water which he immediately obeyed not even thinking because he trusted the voice. He jumped right back to the water while the monster watched him and disappeared from sight.
