Chapter 1: Spawning

*Where am I?* He wondered, he felt paralyzed.. unable to move, his left eye stinged in pain as he blinked open his eyes. he couldn't imagine where he was at the moment. All he knew is that this was not his home, but then again he didn't even know what home looks like,

He took a hard long gasp as he sat up groaning in pain. He observed his strange surroundings taking in the scenery. "H-hello?" He whispered out. Nobody answered, before he knew it panic started to settle in *i-I'm all alone! Where am I supposed to go!* He screamed in his head. He tried to calm down by taking long deep breaths but nothing seemed to ease his panic that was still growing inside. "W-well, if I'm going t-to survive h-here I might as well look around.... this p-place" he stammered before slowly standing up.

Surprised he looked down on himself and took in the imagery of his outfit, noticing his long cape behind him he took in a deep sigh. *Wherever I am, I need to find a place to stay... who knows what kind of dangers are lurking around here.*

So he started to walk, unknowingly where he was going but hoping it was somewhere safe.

As hours passed, Scarlet couldn't barely stand and plus the stinging in his eye had only begin to worsen. "I can't believe this is happening....." scarlet said begging to sob. He could hear the echos over his painfully strained voice ringing through the place he was trapped in, Scarlet forced back his tears hoping to see anything from his standpoint leading to a public area where he could find help. Looking back and forth his peripheral vision caught the image of a red object floating in the air untouched.

Scarlet found his spirits soaring as his weak legs pushed them self's to the limit, Scarlet thought he was so close to getting back home. As he ran closer the the object he began to realize, *this... this is a soul!*

His steps slow to the point where he is practically looming over the soul. It was all tied up in blue looking strings, Scarlet couldn't help feeling bad for the soul, the strings looked like it was constricting the poor soul like an python. Slightly amazed he touched the soul and had a thought.

*This poor soul needs help! Maybe finding this souls keeper will get me back to my home!*  He pulled on the strings hoping they release the soul, but unfortunately it didn't. "Come on!" He gasped, he couldn't help feeling that he was being watched. Suddenly the strings came lose knocking him off balance and he fell to the ground. He opened his eyes to see the soul lying untouched on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief until he heard a gruff raspy voice above him.

Scarlet slowly looked up at the  silhouette standing before him. "H-hello..." scarlet said unable to contain his fear.

Before Scarlet could say anything further the silhouette swiftly crushed the soul into bits causing bits of blood to spew to the ground.

"NO!" Scarlet screamed, he had not seen this coming. It felt as if this guy was planning on killing him if he didn't intervene but- he was to in shock. He had just watched a soul he desperately tried to save be murdered right in front of him,

Scarlet looked up to the figure above him "**W-W-Well WhAt d-Do We H-H-Have H-here?"** Spoke the figure.

*Oh crap....*
