[Color=Navy][i]Worthy of love huh?[/i][/color] 

Talus' last words echoed in Aaron's head as he suddenly found himself in the middle of a busy street.[i] What the fuck? Was this some weird ass dream?[/i] Pressing his hand lightly against his throat, there he felt the indent of what had been a rope, pressed tightly into his delicate flesh. [i]This was no dream. This was real.[/i] Gritting his teeth in a combination of disbelief and shock, the teenager began to survey his surroundings, hoping to acquaint himself with this 'new world'.

Around him stood three others that seemed to be like him; two boys and a girl to be precise, none of them were familiar faces... Beyond them were... beastfolk? People with various animalistic features roamed the busy street, some running away from the suddenly appearing group of strangers.  

Signs written in a strange, unknown language littered the area, the surrounding buildings hosting what appeared to be storefronts. Perhaps this was a commercial area? With all that had happened, Aaron could only be sure of one thing; this wasn't the world he knew.

Again Aaron found himself pondering Talus' words, [i] [color=baddab]”May we find ourselves worthy of love in the new world.”[/color][/i] In the last world, his parents had given him their love and support unconditionally, and he had thrown it all away in a moment of selfishness... Though Aaron  had lost his faith in higher power long ago, was  this God's way of offering redemption? 

Within a sea of darkness, a small light of hope ignited for the first time in years. This was his chance; a new beginning, he could finally repay what he owed, and make something of himself. [Color=navy]"Whoever brought brought me here, if you can hear me... Thank you. I know you love me, and giving me such a chance, I will return that love... But first, I have to repay the love of my family."[/color] Aaron whispered in a quiet prayer as his eyes teared up once again, not in sadness, but gratitude.

Looking to the sky above him, a smile formed on Aaron's face as he became oblivious to those around him.  The warm light of the sun gently caressed the teenager's face as his tears began to stop.

[Center]Today, he would start anew.[/center]
