[u][center][color=seagreen][h1]David[/h1][/color][/center][/u] [color=seagreen][center]A reply to [@Smystar99][/center][/color] There was a lot to unpack in those fifteen minutes. His head swirled with information, memories coming and going as he desperately tried to find out what the hell just happened. That couldn't have been real, that was just some stupid prank that his boss pulled on him, right? Wait... did he even have a boss? David put a hand to his head and closed his eyes, desperately trying to remember. He couldn't even remember if he had a last name! He took a deep breath, and listened to the ocean. It was rather clear that he and the beach had some sort of connection. He at first thought he was a lowlife fisherman, but it seemed he was much more. He looked back at the waters, seeing if there was any sign of that [i]beast[/i] that attacked him. Nothing. He felt the pull within his stomach again, though, as he watched the waves. He thought back to the voice that boomed in his head, calling him--what was it? [i]Poseidon.[/i] The name felt familiar... Almost soothing in a sense. Slowly he turned back to Manhattan. The answers to all of this was in that city. He just needed to find the names on the list, hopefully they can give him more answers than the beast. Suddenly, he heard a dark bark, and it made his skin crawl. A Rottweiler came storming at him, and as it got closer, a sense of dread washed over him. [i]Guardian. Hell. Death.[/i] He stepped back as the dog approached. It wasn't hostile, but it definitely gave David an uneasy feeling, as if it was speaking to him through his eyes. He knew this dog, but how was that even possible-- [i]"Beros!"[/i] A female voice screamed. The figure ran up to him, and just the sight of her gave him a wave of nausea. He almost fell to his knees, but the sea air gave him a boost of confidence. His dark green eyes surveyed her features, and the whispering in his head got louder, reciting the words "Death" and-- "Brother." He muttered almost at the exact same time as she did. He looked away embarrassingly. Why on earth did he just say that? It was confusing to say the least, but there was something very familiar about her... He coughed slightly, looking at her, and the dog before slowly nodding, giving a weak smile. "Yeah, no. I'm completely fine just... Some excited tourists on a treasure hunt." He tried to explain the situation without sounding crazy. The dog Beros sniffed at David intensely, but he backed up hesitantly, as if knowing it would do something if he didn't keep his guard up. "I..." He started, looking at her with curiosity. "I'm sorry. Have we-have we met, before? It's just... I am have a really hard time remembering things lately, and you look [i]very[/i] familiar." He tried to explain, but not necessarily knowing how to. He couldn't really say that a Minotaur attacked him after he woke up, and he dragged the beast into the sea.
