[hr][centre][color=Aqua][h2]Marcus Nickleson[/h2][/color][/centre][hr] [color=silver] He sat in a metaphorical corner, one that was not really there. He imagined there would be one. He could imagine whatever he wanted here, as he was in his own deep thoughts. The being, now less distorted that before, fluttered around him occasionally, throwing a question towards Marcus to try and learn more about what he did. It questioned his actions that he had done, in that battle, where he sacrificed the trust he had to simply assist a random group of strangers. He answered with instinct, and the female being called him out for avoiding telling the truth. It was a tense conversation... The two stared at one another, in silence. Marcus was still trying to figure things out within his mind. It was confusing, threatening to his sanity as to why this had happened to him. Everything had gone from the United Kingdom to Australia within three weeks. He had no idea what was happening to his body, or anything in the real world. Marcus was sat, almost trapped and isolated, within his own presence and mind. That spooked him quite severely. All this magic stuff seemed to be a myth to him still, even though he'd effectively managed to cast several spells and abilities to himself, as well as openly. Everything was confusing, terrifying and stressful all in one basket. But the noise of confliction stopped when he heard the voice once more, seeping from the lips of the beautiful angelic being.[/color] [color=Red][b]"Marcus...You know...It's time to wake up. You've had long enough to think."[/b][/color] [color=Aqua][b]"W-Wait...no no...I'm...I'm not ready...I still need to think things through a-"[/b][/color] [color=Silver]He was cut off by a soothing giggle, replicating the sweet voice of another member of the Magi he had met when awake. It soothed him slightly, before he listened without interruption.[/color] [color=Red][b]"We can prepare you further, Marcus...You're gonna be able to discover two more...Abilities...But until then...Wake up, Marcus. You have people waiting for you."[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Before he had a chance to respond, he could feel the imaginary world around him begin to break apart into fragments of the unknown. Everything was becoming white, and he was unable to see for a small fraction of a second. That was until he saw it...The world around him. Marcus slowly sat up, within the cave that they were in. Well...They sure had made some progress since the fight. He slowly looked around, seeing a Mitsuki near him, seeming to be rambling on about something. His ears weren't fully working, as a deep murmur and blurry tone came from everyone's mouths. Everyone...Not everyone was here? There was a lot of people missing, which suddenly struck Marcus' expression. His face dropped greatly...What had happened?[/color]
