Awaken, True Knight:

The curse of infinite health and the title of the True Stellarknight was Awaken's to bear. She had no future or plans regarding either of the two, so it was fine.

She opened her eyes, looking out from her perch.

Her perch, was, of course, an asteriod roughly the size of a city that was orbiting the planet of Echelon. The asteriod had some life, mainly in the form of green grass and twisting vines, but more prudent were the signs of passing life.

Metalic foundations lay half submerged in an ever moving rock. Used to be towns, Awaken supposed, but there wasn't really a point of living and settling on a moving satellite in Echelon's atomosphere. Besides what it used to be.

 She could remember. Despite there being barely enough air to breath (although sometimes Awaken had to heal herself due to the asteriod not being close enough) the celestial rock held a purpose.

It was a pit stop.

It used to be where space travellers would stop at before heading into the Dark Schism, heading out to who knows where. Most of them could weild tempest adeptly so that they could fly to the Rift, but some, newer, less competent tempest users couldn't make it all the way there. Just barely not far enough.

And so their solution was Mauve.

Mauve was the name of the asteriod that Awaken sat on. It was large enough to not burn up in the sky, and had been orbiting for a fairly long time.

They colonized it, before the big relevation happened.

A miracle was found.

Canvas, a grey world with literally almost nothing on it was found.

But it had a special natural defense. Velvet force.

Velvet force completely denied the otherside to pass through. It was, however, very hard to move. The 10th was required to move it, and there was no easy way to move it a significant amount. 

So the existance of a velvet force drove quite literally everyone to Canvas. Those who couldn't go there (they either lacked the tempest required or they couldn't touch mutables) had to return to Echelon. There was no need to stay on Mauve any longer. Those foolish enough to stay died soonafter due to starvation.

So where did Awaken fit into all of this?

While she could heal, her presence on the floating rock was much younger than the ancient ruins it was surrounded by. She had been healing to survive for a while, but nowhere near as long as the metal frames that stuck out of the Mauve had.

She had come here by choice.

A day of recognition it was. A day when she was chosen to become the next stellarknight.

But others wouldn't accept that. They drove her out, all the way to her breaking point, before she finally used the Heirship Crown to transport herself up here.

She could go back. But she didn't want to.

She looked down at her hand, which was clenched around the gift she was given that day. 

A special red triangular gem, that was always glowing.

It was a peculiar item. Awaken only held onto it because of what it did occasionally.

She remembered that day too. The sun was 'setting', or moreso the Mauve was going around Echelon, and the sun no longer cast it's warmth on the ruins set up in the sky of the planet. The gem flickered then.

It didn't just flicker once. It flickered many times, in a pattern. Awaken remembered thinking it was a bomb and then getting ready to throw it, when it started to sing.

It didn't really sing. It was more like a tune than a song, but Awaken remembered it vividly.

It sounded like bells and the raw presence of the stellarknight together. And then, when she turned to look at the stars that night, they pulsed. First they pulsed Orange and magenta, alternating sides, with the complete darkness of space being disrupted by the flashes of color. She was fairly certain no one else saw it, just her.

Massive beacons of color shot up from planets, each to the beat of the music, until it switched colors. Blue and green. Lights shot up from many different planets, one of which was nearby, behind the sun.

The planet of canvas lit up next, when the lights were red and orange. 

Echelon didn't light up until the final round of stellar pulses, where it lit up purple and light blue.

So it was a strange stone. Awaken opened her hand, expecting it to change, but it was the same as always. Solid red.

It hadn't done anything since that day.

It just didn't make sense.

Technically, the red triagular stone was related to her healing, but that hadn't been confirmed ever. Awaken had tried before. Experimenting always yeilded the same result.

Failure.

There was nothing to achieve up here.

The world was down, not up.

Awaken stepped up to the ledge of the sundered buildings, looking down. Her vision was blocked by swirling tempest patterns of course, but she had seen the planet rotate enough to know where she'd land.

Awaken looked back at the orbiting chunk she had wasted her time on, and then stepped off the edge, flying into frenzy.

Air bit past her as she entered Echelon's atomosphere. She fell faster and faster and started to heat up and burn. Still clutching the red gemstone, she could feel it's warmth as she descended towards the rest of the world.

Awaken soared through the air, healing keeping her alive, until she finally spotted something. Something, before she slammed into the ground at terminal velocity, and all she saw were clocks. 

Tons of clocks, of all sizes. 

Clocks ticking backwards, powered by gears.

Those clocks indicated a reset. She could never die. Ever. They wouldn't let that happen. They couldn't let that happen.

 Never to be set free, Awaken thought.

Such was the way of the Stellarknight.

Silence. 

Then, finally, inequity

Signs of white circles outlines and crossed with red marks flood my vision

Yellow triangles with black smears, the top longer than the bottom.

Black rod with little beaks attached that open red green and yellow but never at the same time

Yellow dashes on teal outlined white space

More metalic circles of poorly drawn lines, with a meaning

Letters written on white and yellow signs

Reflections of bright lights off of strange mirror lying uncollected on the ground.

Chromatic shimmer from metalic bruised squares suspended on poles

More of the same.

Crosses vandilized onto massive displays of empty sheets.

Orange of the triangular barriers that have an insigna written on them.

strange disks of flashing scenes pass

the hook changes, and I see

chess boards

but larger

orcistrated to be impressive

Decimation

Towns collapse after a strange pink substance falls from the sky

everything becomes sugar, collapses, and reveals

a small castle with a vortex

that eats me

spits me out in a fire

the world is on fire

the castle has been devoured by flames.

but in the smoke

an ocean comes

transforming things to forests

filled with runes

then.

bright lights that eat my eyes

until

 everything is dark.

All i can see is outlines of things eating each other

dragons.

worms

monsters irregularily shaped

a pink fades my vision to it

and I see

a reflection

falling down

Rain with it

it lands in a forest

where strange totems lurk

people with tree killing devices

sit in the rain

that does not stop where they are

it goes right past

into a band concert

millions are watching this girl play an instriment

makes tons of noise.

the noise makes me shut my eyes.

I can feel myself falling.

I open my eyes and fall onto a couch

and attempt to fight the movement

of flowing lava

sending me spiralling towards massive falls.

The eyes open

the silhoute stands against a massive rift in reality

I stand up to it

the eyes of the void see me

and their gaze is turned towards me

mystical lights hide me

deep in an ocean

there is a hole at the bottom

sucking the entire factory of the lava before me into itself

and me

I land in a garden

shadows of a massive cubic statue towers over me

It bursts to life

and goes to fight a dragon

loses.

the eyes open

they see me

i run

no fast enough

too slow

devoured by greedy

taxpayers

those who pay

end up fighting in an ultimate battle to the death

a piano falls from above

I end up in a spaceship crash on a foreign planet

no resources

but cool space guns

to stop the innkeepers

who opened

the devil's lair

but they got here first

and stars twinkle, and on one I see

a beach

a child has a sandcastle that gets eaten by waves

that have many sharks on them

but i get dragged out to sea, and see

fires

screaming

trains crash in the lifetime catastrophe

I grow wings and fly

to the heavens above

where crystal palaces exist

in one of their libraries is a book

likewise, it has a character who gets bullied

told to leave many times

ignores this

and falls 

onto a grainy floor

where shining objects are gone

Drought will take them

if the worms don't first

a guided missile it seeks a target

in a war zone

many many muddy trenches

bombings leave smoke

smoke clouds my vision, makes me cough out a clarovoyent drop

in that drop is an apartment

where a man drinking coffee

hes gonna be late for work

but he took a pteradactyl

and entered the ice age

where bones in the frozen ground

are used to write

prayers to someone

until a heatstroke happens

the sun flares

into solar dust. planets go cold

life dies on earth

but not on mars

where a rocky world of corruption is present

 A temple is seen

that gives hope

I travel there

And walk up ephermental steps

into a stormy nebula

where they travel to the north

to go get the plants in the village

to get there i climb a beanstalk

a big desert lies at the bottom

with a deep well

and at the bottom is a magic rainforest

where trees blossom

and dragons are captured

and haunted gargoyles live

in the graveyard next door

an echo reminds me to focus on the present

where a bright white disk, fully illuminated by my light

has a bright red outline 

a red cross through it

it has strange symbols on it

by the time i turn around to look where i came from, everything but the sign is gone

I look at it closer

I can make out what it means. 

"No stopping within  « 2m » "

I look back at my car

and then back at the sign

I return the ever hard gaze

Waking up from my Retohrical Daze.

A little long.

That's what it's like to have ADHD on an off-day.
