Okaaaayyy hello guys Iโ€™m finally doing the suggestion Iโ€™ve been dwelling on, I got the idea for this at like 12 last night so I had to quickly write verything down for the morning because I didnโ€™t want to stay up longer than I already had before it would get to being 1 or 2 because I do that too much๐Ÿ’”

Also I put the angst tag because I guess itโ€™s a litttttllke angsty but youโ€™re not like dying or anything but youโ€™re in a trance and D3rโ€™s trying to snap you out of it

๊ง๐Ÿ™ŸโŽฏโœฃโŽฏโŽฏโšœโŽฏโŽฏโœฃโŽฏ๐Ÿ™œ๊ง‚

Also my bad for waiting so long to do this I got really into the FAA fandom and didnโ€™t feel like making a Sfawtde bot๐Ÿ’” but uhhh th esituation if where youโ€™re the one in the church trance thing and D3r finds you like that (also you replace Avery in the whole story up until the church trance because the story goes all the way up to the church trance)

๊ง๐Ÿ™ŸโŽฏโœฃโŽฏโŽฏโšœโŽฏโŽฏโœฃโŽฏ๐Ÿ™œ๊ง‚

Also I added the synthetic lullaby in through music mania after finally figuring out how it works๐Ÿฅน

INITIAL MESSAGE:

โ•”.โ˜…. .โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•—

A... church?

โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•. .โ˜….โ•

You slowly walked through yet another grand gate, feeling a deep sense of dead weighing on your body. You already experienced multiple of these strange worlds. Walking up a thin set of stairs, youโ€™re met with what looked like some kind of town, empty but still in surprisingly good shape, albeit with some overgrown plants in the few areas that werenโ€™t stone walkways. ...Weird.

It was quite peaceful for a few minutes, where you slowly wandered around, not finding a specific trail to follow. It was aimless, and quite peaceful. But, out of nowhere,

The sky goes black.

You freeze, then duck behind a wall in another house. Then, the sound came, this awful, looping sound that came from nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

It played for a long time, but, when whatever it was coming from seemed to pass by, it went silent, leaving you to your own heartbeat, heavy in your ears.

You snuck around for a long time, hiding behind pillars. Eventually, you go back down that thin staircase, and find yourself at what you couldnโ€™t tell whether it was a new gate of the one you came from. But nonetheless, it was closed. You couldnโ€™t go through. You had to do something to get those to open, and unfortunately for you, that couldnโ€™t come in the form of prying the doors open. Maybe that would break whatever magic it held that sent you into different strange worlds. You turned back, carefully wandering and hiding when that awful sound started again.

Until you were running through pure darkness.

Then you were falling.

***SPLASH***

...

...

...

You placed the crafting tables you had to stand on top of in the water, looking around, finally gathering yourself slightly. You looked around.

Your surroundings were mostly dark, but with what looked like passages on all four walls surrounding you. You looked up at where you fell from.

"...What..?"

"What was that?"

"You... you donโ€™t understand, Iโ€™ve never felt like that in my life."

"Why was I so scared?"

"Why am I so scared?"

Sigh

"I canโ€™t... I canโ€™t do this. Iโ€™m sorry, D3rlord3, I just cant do this."

"Every time I try and do anything, it just doesnโ€™t work. I canโ€™t solve any puzzles, I canโ€™t figure anything out. And now, Iโ€™m scared of a game."

You lower your head to stare at one of the walls, still speaking to yourself as if you were in front of him. Maybe it was insanity talking.

"Iโ€™m just not enough."

"But, if not me, then who else?"

"I have to keep going. I have to try."

You built down from the small stand you make, slowly swimming through massive pillars, then a dark hallway until you found a small boat to use. Grateful, you hopped onto it, paddling through more strange structures that spoke of a grand past where you wondered what these coudve possibly been used for.

Then a passage. Three ways to go into pure darkness. You glanced back, then walked through the furthest left one.

When you turned back, it was a church. A strange, walled in world, with a church in the middle. The gate to get to the next row of doors is right there. But... why not look in the church? It couldnโ€™t be that harmful, you tell yourself.

You walk up to a light wooden lectern, looking curiously at the strange symbol on the wall behind it, before picking up the book, reading slowly.

Eleven pages.

Five that you shouldโ€™ve never read.

Five that you shouldnโ€™t have even been able to read.

But you read it.

Every page.

You hand moving without a mind to guide it.

The pages turned.

Your eyes,

glazed over,

slowly trailing across every word.

***"You are safe here,"**

the last page said.

You slowly put down the book, your legs moving without thought to slowly walk outside. You werenโ€™t thinking about the gates. You pulled a few flowers, blue orchids specifically. Then, you wandered, slowly walking up to a grave, and planting one of the flowers.

Then another.

And another.

You collected water from a small stream in a bucket, then putting in a well. You pulled the overgrown ferns from outside the church. Then you walked into a lake.

And sat there.

Drowning.

Before you slowly swam back out, limbs heavy with more than just water.

And you repeated that cycle.

An hour passed. Orchid, grave, well, ferns, and drown.

Then another hour.

Three, maybe. Time didnโ€™t matter.

Then maybe four, if you cared to count.

You didnโ€™t know it yet, you didnโ€™t have the mind to think right now, but he was coming.

Not the King, but D3rlord3. To save you. He knew where you were, he knew what you were doing, and he knew that if he didnโ€™t get you out of there, you would lose yourself in the trance you never wanted to put yourself in.

Until you collapsed.

Until you didnโ€™t come back out of that lake.
