Okarin: The Awakening

Prologue

A long time ago, there was a powerful race of warriors that named themselves Exousiars. These warriors had the power to transform into dragons at will by a god, but this transformation came at a cost. If the form was not controlled, they lose themselves to the beast and their personalities are forever changed. unless they are able to find the perfect balance they will never be the same. Among these warriors was an exceptionally strong being, who became their king, named Zenith. Zenith was a benevolent leader he had immense power and was able to control space and time itself, he wanted to guide races to become civilized and advanced. In order to do so, he had to banish evil and savage races to another world. So with the powers bestowed upon him he created, Okarin. The world of Okarin exists in a pocket dimension outside our reality. It cannot be seen or entered by our world unless given the power to. This world is seven times bigger than earth and orbits two suns and has two moons. Okarin is filled with wonders and environments able to house many different kinds of creatures. Once Zenith disappeared galaxies blossomed with life, traces of civilizations started to form, even in Okarin itself. Okarin has not been opened ever since Zenith’s disappearance and has remained closed for thousands of years, until now.

Act I

Chapter 1

Emory is on his knees with blood on his hands; holding a lifeless body impaled by a sword. He stares shocked, unable to process what he has done. It has been over thirty-minutes and Emory still hasn’t moved. It’s as if the world can drift away and end at this very moment and he wouldn’t care. There’s absolutely nothing he could do and deeply wishes he could change so many things that happened. How everything would be so much better if he had done just a few things differently or maybe if just one or two things didn’t happen to him. It would be so much better for everyone else's lives. He recollects his memory tracing every point that led him here, about how his rather ordinary and mundane life brought him here.

“Ughhhh, just two more pages and I’m done," Emory says exhaustingly while rustling his papers together. It’s late at night and Emory is up working on a five-page English assignment that’s due tomorrow. Even though he constantly procrastinates, he is top of his class at a prestigious university. Tired and bored from typing his essay he yawns and leans back in his chair stretching his arms out.

He sighs, “I need a break,” he says.

He looks at his watch 1:19 hmm maybe I can go to the vending machine and get a quick snack, he thinks. He quickly puts on his flip-flops, steps out of his dorm, and goes to the vending machine.

Emory heads down the path to the cafeteria building where the vending machine is at. The night is quiet with lit up street lamps placed throughout the campus giving a pleasant and peaceful, yet ominous feeling. Emory distracts himself by looking at his phone and sees the text exchange between him and Elizabeth. I still can’t believe I actually got a date with the cutest girl in class, Emory thought with a smile, at least I think it is a date. All of a sudden, in the serene ambiance, he hears a whooshing sound like wings flapping but something big. He stops and looks around but sees nothing, just still buildings and quiet street lamps. He quickly gives up and gives a slight shrug and keeps walking; convincing himself he’s just hearing things. He thought, It’s probably just a machine or something. After all, this is a renowned university there must be some technology they have that I’m not aware of, he gets back to his phone and his thoughts about Elizabeth.

He gets to the vending machine outside the cafeteria building and gets his favorite snack, Chex doodles. He gets his snack and immediately looks back, he feels as if someone or something is watching him. He can’t shake this feeling, he grabs his snack and quickly walks back to his dorm.

On his way back he hears the whooshing noise again, but this time louder and closer. His eyes open up when he realizes it’s right behind him! He turns his head and sees a strange dark figure with huge wings coming towards him. He instantly starts to run away, but it’s futile the strange figure quickly catches up to him and flings him to the ground forward. Emory’s white shirt is ripped and his back is bleeding from the attack.

The dark strange figure lands in front of him. With his phone and his Pex Mix all over the ground, he looks up while face front to the ground and sees two feet. They look like they have some type armor on but they don’t look like any type of metal. He tries to get up but is quickly kicked back down on the stomach. Emory is now on his side now clinging his stomach, he hears wings fluttering and slightly opens his eyes to see the outline of a cape behind the strange figure. He looks up and sees this tall and terrifying man with a wine red scale-like armor similar to a knight; he has an intricate red colored sword on his right hand, his sharp red reptilian eyes glowing through his armor like a flashlight staring at you in a dark lonely cave.

Emory with a petrified look gives out a screech and turns around to run away in the opposite direction, but the armored man reappears out of nowhere in front of him. Emory bumps into him and stumbles back. Before Emory can do anything the armored man grabs Emory by his neck and lifts him up. Emory is raised at eye level with this goliath and he sees his piercing gaze go right through him. His red eyes seem to glow brighter and they seem to emit flakes of fire. Emory’s vision tunnels and seems to blur with a blue aura around the edges. Emory is hypnotized by these powerful eyes and does not realize that his own eyes have changed color from hazel brown to a radiant light blue with a reptile shaped iris.

The red knight hears a noise coming behind him he breaks the gaze and throws Emory to the side. Two curved blades come towards the red knight out of nowhere. He quickly raises his sword and blocks the incoming attack.

Another strange knight comes from the sky and stands to face the red knight. Emory now on his back feeling weary and completely drained of any energy struggles to keep his head up to see what’s going on. The two daggers that attacked the red knight go back to her like magnets.

The other knight has a similar armor to the red knight, but this one is silver with a midnight blue color around the edges and eyes shimmering with the same blue color. This knight is much more slender and appears to be more agile; it has two slim blue capes coming from its shoulder with a silver outline.

Emory with all his effort tries to keep his head up. The silver knight stands against the red knight with two long curved daggers in hand. They’re saying something, are they speaking with each other? Whatever they’re saying Emory can’t understand them or what language they’re speaking. It sounds completely foreign and not from this world.

Emory closes his eyes and is finally giving in to the fatigue he feels himself drifting away. When a thunderous noise all of sudden brings him back but only slightly. Swords clash and the air moves ferociously. The only thing he is capable of doing is opening only one eye. He sees flashes of colors and hears powerful roars, windows breaking, and the ground cracking. Emory feels completely helpless. He knows he should run away somewhere safe, but his body just won’t move. His heart would normally be racing and he would be terrified but right now he lets the world around him fade as roars and sword strikes turn into echoes and light turns to dark.

Once the fight is over the one left standing is the crimson knight, he looks at Emory and walks up to him. He puts his sword on Emory’s chest and chants something from its strange language. Small dwindling wisps of light begin to forms in a spiral, surrounding the knight and Emory. As the red knight continues to chant the light becomes stronger and brighter. It soon begins to take a multitude of colors shooting all the way to the sky. The air around them flows strongly from the power of the light. The light becomes so intense and bright that it starts to engulf them and they can’t be seen from the outside.

The silver knight strains to get up, it kneels on one knee and looks up to the immense light. Its eyes shine brighter and a blue aura surrounds them as its two shoulder capes turn to great blue and silver wings. The knight propels itself forward with its wings and charges towards the spiraling light. The silver knight goes through the light and tackles the red knight. When they collide they’re both knocked up and the sheer power of the light flings them around.

They have no control while in the air and as soon as they touch the sides of the spiral they are buried by the light and disappear. When the red knight disappears the spiral light closes in a flash as if it was never there. In the process of its closing, it took Emory with it and now there’s nothing but silence. The wind stops flowing and the only thing left is a phone with an open bag of Chex doodles on the floor surrounded by shards of glass.

#100 Dialogue Prompts- Angst Edition

“This will be the last time you lie to me.”

“You know it’s not like that.”

“How could you think this wouldn’t hurt me?”

“You’re never going to be the same after this.”

“I just think it’d be best if we never met.”

“I can’t believe you would even think to leave me like this.”

“You never loved me, did you?”

“It didn’t have to be like this, but now you’ve ruined everything.”

“I hope you’re happy.”

“If you had have kept your mouth shut, then he’d still- he’d still be here!”

“What did you want once this was all through? Tell me!”

“Now I have to deal with the consequences of your actions. Thanks, it means a lot.”

“You could’ve- could’ve stayed. You could’ve helped me fix things.”

“I knew she’d never change, she was too stubborn, too similar to me.”

“This isn’t going to be fixed. You’ve ruined this for good now.”

“I hope I’m not put in the same part of hell as you.”

“When did you think you could hurt me again? Today? Tomorrow?”

“You’re back in my life and I want to die again.”

“You only ever brought me pain and I’m sick of it.”

“I hope you got what you wanted.”

“You made me miserable and I still loved you.”

“When you die, I’ll be the first to dance on your grave.”

“Don’t underestimate me, I have more power than you can even comprehend.”

“If only you knew what you’d brought upon yourself.”

“We’re never going to have a happy ending, just remember that.”

“Everytime something goes well, I momentarily forget how much I despise you.”

“Don’t pretend like you’re not happy to see me like this.”

“There is nothing worse than seeing you get what you want.”

“Your mind must be a horrible place.”

“You can cut me, bruise me and skin me alive, but you will not take her from me.”

“How is it that we always end up in this predicament?”

“I want to wipe that grin of your face with my sword, but my mother taught me to play nicely.”

“Did anyone ever tell you how pathetic you are? It’s incredible how low my standards are for you.”

“Ah, well if you want them back alive, I suggest you lay down your own life.”

“Don’t be ‘smart’. The battlefield is no place for Math Scholars.”

“You shouldn’t have come. You can’t be-”

“Stop talking or tomorrow won’t come.”

“Hand me the gun and I’ll kill him myself.”

“I shouldn’t care for your life, but I’m starting to and it’s becoming an inconvenience.”

“If you live to see her, please send my best regards and this box of her father’s ashes.”

“It would’ve been nice to get to know you better, but I’m afraid I don’t care.”

“I can’t help but think you’re a terrible person.”

“Seeing your face has unconventionally made me want to die. I wasn’t quite prepared for this feeling.”

“You could have loved me, I’m quite good at seducing, but you’re actually vile.”

“I hope I see you in a bodybag sometime.”

“Let’s pretend you didn’t cheat on me with my sister and be good people for a few minutes.”

“We should probably stop talking forever.”

“If I hated you anymore, I think I’d probably be crowned as satan’s right-hand man.”

“To say I ‘tolerate you’ is a vast overstatement.”

“You broke her heart and came back for more, you bastard.”

“This isn’t fifth grade, this is a courtroom, you whore.”

“I think you’d be the perfect match for my ex-husband. He loved to sleep with multiple people.”

“I’m not coming home, don’t look for me.”

“Time was always a measurement of this relationship and we finally ran out.”

“Please don’t look at me with such hatred.”

“I could’ve died and you couldn’t have cared less.”

“Just get out. I- I don’t want you hear, just leave.”

“You’re not the same person I married, don’t tell me I’m wrong.”

“I wish you wouldn’t beg for forgiveness, it has the opposite effect of what you want.”

“Don’t hate me for this. You would’ve done the same.”

“This could’ve been the end and you were ready to let me go.”

“You should’ve left me, you could never deserve the person I’ve become.”

“Hate me all you want. I know I’m right.”

“Today you broke my arm, I hope tomorrow it’s not my heart.”

“Nothing can justify this, you’ve ruined him.”

“You live with so much guilt, I hope it drives you mad one of these days.”

“My life was ruined because of one mistake. You were that mistake.”

“You are everything I hate, don’t ever come back.”

“Evil doesn’t come close.”

“Your wrongdoings are becoming your pastimes.”

“I wish you had of just done it for the thrill of it, but now you’re in deep shit.”

“Next time, I won’t be here to salvage your wreckage. This is the last time.”

“You should have ruined me when you had the chance.”

“No one will keep your name alive. Once you’re gone, everything you once stood for disappears too.”

“Don’t pretend you haven’t thought about your life without me.”

“This is always how it ends.”

“Break my heart once more, I dare you.”

“Forget how you loved me once, I mean nothing now.”

“This isn’t Romeo and Juliet, this is real life and I can go on without you.”

“You don’t own me, I don’t belong to you.”

“I should’ve died. That would’ve made you happy.”

“Are we going to carry on like this or are you going to give him back to me.”

“She drowned and he lost his mind.”

“We shouldn’t. You’re married and I’m pregnant.”

“You’ve never been loved, I can tell.”

“Who told you I needed fixing and what made you believe them?”

“You’re almost as far-gone as I am.”

“Maybe it’s best that we don’t go home.”

“Roaming the streets was never safe for her. What makes you think it’s different for you?”

“I think you’re going to ruin me. Am I right?”

“Do you remember our last feud? I wouldn’t want someone to lose their life again, would you?”

“Kiss me quick and leave them be.”

“I hate seeing you so sad. It’s just so dramatic how humans show emotions and being sad is such a boring one.”

“Will you ever forget my number? No? Ah, because you still love me.”

“After the funeral, let’s surrender.”

“What made you think I cared for you?”

“It’ll be fun explaining this to your sister. I hope she likes horror stories.”

“Don’t act as if we’re friends. I know how much you want to slit my throat.”

“Let’s not get angry. Let’s calmly and sensibly take this outside so I can ruin your face.”

“Please ruin yourself for me and I’ll watch in adoration as I fall apart as well.”
