Lost

The cocoon opened, revealing the figure of a girl sleeping in a fetal position.

The girl looked to be between twelve and fifteen years old and had long, multi-colored loose hair. A light was around her as if something was protecting her.

After a few minutes still in the fetal position in the middle of space, the girl seems to start to wake up. Her eyes were slowly starting to open, and her consciousness was starting to come back.

She slowly opens her sleepy eyes, and her eyes, one blue, the other purple, seem to sparkle like jewels.

"Yawn!" She yawned and stretched.

A little more awake, she looks around and tilts her head, confused.

"Wha... am I dreaming? Why can I see the night sky full of stars? Usually, Lucia closes the curtains and forbids me to open them so as not to get insects into my room..." She muttered to herself as she massaged her face.

Thinking it was all a dream or a delusion, she lays her head down, thinking there would be a pillow waiting for her. Contrary to her expectations, instead of feeling a pillow, or something solid, she flipped into the void, startling her.

"Wowowow-! What the heck?!" She screamed in surprise.

Still doing several flips, she tries to grab something to stop but can't. There was nothing there. She then, like any child who is about to despair, pleaded in her mind to stop, and to her surprise... She stopped.

"Phew!" Seeing that it had stopped, she sighs in relief.

Now fully awake, she looks around and sees nothing but outer space. A worry started to build inside her, starting to build to terror and despair.

Fortunately, when looking at yourself, her focus changes.

"Kya?! Why am I naked?!" She screamed in embarrassment, and quickly covered her private parts with her arms and hands.

With her worry shifting to something less worrisome than being in outer space, her head clears a little.

'Wait, what's going on? Why am I in outer space? Why am I naked? And how can I speak, breathe, see, and move freely here?' She thought, her confusion only increasing.

As if listening to her doubts, the light that surrounded her body and seemed to be protecting her quickly converged on a single point on her forehead and then penetrated her mind.

"Urgh!!" She closes her eyes and massages her forehead, which now aches a little.

Several pieces of information invaded her mind one after the other, Information about who she is, her task, and several other different knowledge, but it was nothing mundane.

Among the information she absorbed, the most important, was that she was just born. Not only that, she is some sort of a new deity. She is the daughter of a being called Mother Night, and she doesn't know who her father is. She is Twilight, the personification of Chaos, Mischief, Imagination, and Change.

She doesn't know how and where so much information came from, but she knows now who she is, and soon begins to sob.

She, for some reason, was reborn as Zoe, the Twilight Aspect, but not quite. She seems to have the same appearance, and deities as Zoe from League of Legends, but has no idea where she is.

All she knows is that she has a task, she is a messenger. What messages will she deliver? She doesn't know. She also has seven half-siblings: Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium. Among them, she is the youngest.

All the information she'd taken in was too much for her, who just a little while ago was just a twelve-year-old girl stuck in a hospital bed.

Like any child, she always imagined herself becoming something like a heroine, having powers, or even being a character in a game or movie. But that's only fun when it's just in the imagination.

But then, all of a sudden, she's here, in outer space, with a task she doesn't know how to do, far from her old life, far from her mother and father, who, as much as they are very absent, were always working to pay for her expensive medical bills, and they never complained once. When they visited, they always brought gifts with radiant smiles. She loved them, and as much as she hated her illness, she didn't hate her life. She liked to watch TV and play video games. Sometimes she even made friends in Online games.

With her head and feelings completely in disorder, she hugs her knees and starts to cry.

She was alone, afraid, and lost in the vastness of this unknown universe.

☄☄☄☄☄☄☄☄☄☄

Elsewhere in the universe, light years from where Rachel was, a beautiful goth girl was walking in a park on earth. She was admiring the landscape of nature while waiting for her next job.

It was then that she heard something. Something that was far, far away.

Her smile changed to a confused expression and, paying closer attention, she realized it was a child's cry.

'A crying child...? But this feeling... Why do I get such a familiar feeling from this crying?' She thought. Curious and worried, with a beating of her black wings, she disappears and goes towards the child's cry.

She wasn't the only one who heard the crying, but she was the only one who paid the least attention to this strange event. The others who listened seemed too busy, or just not interested.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the place where the crying was coming from and finally discovered where the crying was coming from.

It was the cry of a little girl. A naked little girl who was simply adrift in the universe.

But she was shocked to see the girl, as she finally understood the familiar feeling.

'A new little sister...? But why does it feels a little different? As if something was missing...' She thought.

Curious, she slowly approached the crying girl so as not to scare her new little sister.
