Broken Memories

== Chapter 1 - The Figures ==
It's dark at night. A woman runs through the forest, panting. As the moon starts getting bigger and higher in the sky, she cries in emergency. Behind her, an unknown figure chases her, at alarming speed. She trips on a pebble, and gets eaten alive by the creature.
It's daytime again. Matthew lives in the remote city of Spree. He has great promise in being a warrior, and as he trains his skills on an armor stand, he starts feeling odd. Fragments of his reality start breaking apart. A loud noise is heard. The birds nearby fly off, but fade away. A familiar figure chases Matthew. Until he snaps out of it. Perhaps he day-dreamt a nightmare.
"What was that?" Matthew says in his mind. "That felt too real to be a dream...".
He trains a bit more, until his sword broke. He opened his closet and used a new sword, this time enchanting it with Unbreaking II. But when he saw his other hand, the old sword returned, in its prime, with no cracks. "What? I must be going crazy..." Matthew says. He returns the old sword and practices with the enchanted one.
A day later, he goes to Spree Sword Dust School, a prestigious school that teaches about combat. It's his first day, and he is a Transfer. "Okay, today's topic are Critical H- oh, hello there!" the Teacher says, and finds Matthew. "Class, this is a new transferee to our school. His name is Matthew, and treat him well! Mat, what can you tell us about you?" the Teacher asks. Matthew replies: "I want to be a warrior, a knight! I want to learn all I can from this school!".
The entire class was silent for some reason. Everyone paused, and an earthquake occurred. A crack started forming that went into the direction of Matthew. Then, everyone fades to black, until Matthew snaps out of it again. It seems the class was happy to have another classmate. "Welcome to Class B-1, Mat!", one of his classmate said, while shaking his hand. "Y-you too... I guess..." Matthew replied.
After school, Matthew walked outside and sat. He enjoyed the peaceful sky, and the majestic clouds. He sometimes thinks of himself as one, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes angry. To his surprise, an hour has passed. He got up and ran home. Halfway there he encountered a strange being... it was only colored in purple and black. It was also floating...
It spoke... "Hi Matthew. Your timeline will soon end... just a small warning." Matthew could not believe what he heard. "What do you mean 'end'?", Matthew asked. However, the being had disappeared. Matthew checks his watch... 6:30 PM, he had spent an hour and a half talking with this being.
He rushed home, instantly apologizing about how late he is... however his parents were not there. Matthew checks all except his room of the house... nothing. He then heads into his room... also nothing. Except a black figure of Mat. When Matthew touched it, its face is focused on him, in terrible agony.
Matthew was terrified and ran out of the house. Only to find a gigantic ravine... and an unknown person arrives.
