Zerul awakens as his gem dislodges from the side of a cliff. It lands on the ground before floating back up a bit as he forms. Once his physical form had fully manifested he collapses to the ground. He tries to stand but just couldn’t muster the strength yet. He looks around the desolate landscape wondering where he was. “wh...where...who...uhhh.”
So many question swirling in his head he felt sick. After taking a few deep breaths to help him calm down. “Get a hold of yourself.”
he looks around for something that could give him answers. As he looked around he notices the setting sun. Then suddenly a voice could be heard from somewhere. “Hello Friend.”
He bolts up and looks around for who said that. “Who...Who’s there!” he was only met with laughter. “Answer me!”
The laughter stopped leaving only the sound of the wind blowing through the nearby trees. “You will know soon enough”
Zerul panicked and began running as the voice sounded like it was right next to him. Fear making him run his leg moving on there own. He ends up stopping at the edge of a cliff. He turns around scared of what was after him, but nothing was there.
After calming down he looks around. He spots a giant water tower in the distance. “Please tell me that is a sign of something or someone who can help me.”
He looks around looking for a way to get there. He spots a trail that looked like it went into that general direction. He follows the trail until nightfall where he finally reaches the town. The town was empty. The water tower had words on it. “Sapphire Coast? Um...what is this place?”
He wonders around not even aware of his strange form until he passed by a window and he spots his left arm. He looks down at his left arm and then at his right then back to his left. His left arm looked like you were staring at the cosmos through it. This unsettled him as he looked at his reflection still at a loss about who or what he was.
It didn’t take long for his arm to draw interest. A group of people walk over to Zerul. “You gem scum! This planet is property of Humanity and your kind isn’t liked here!”
Zerul looks over at the group lost and confused. “Gem? Humanity?”
They didn’t answer him they just proceeded to pull out various blunt objects to smash him. “Get him!”
They charged in. Zerul acting in self defense summoned his weapon and cut the arm off of one of the attackers. The others see this and begin attacking Zerul. "You Gem Scum! Always attacking first!"
Zerul does his best to avoid there blunt weapons. "I didn't mean to hurt him! Stop! Please!"
Fire starts to engulf his sword. "I cant stand to watch this anymore!"
A quick slash into the air sent a wave of fire that blocked off the attackers from him. Taking advantage of this situation he bolts for the docks. Once there he could hear sirens in the distance. He turns around to see the store he was next too was on fire. "I didn't mean to do that."
The laughter returns. "Oh but you did do it. Or should i say we did it."
He looks around trying to find out who was talking. "Who are you Show yourself!"
"Turn around and you will see it." He turns around and in the reflection of another window he only sees himself. "There is no one here!"
Another laughter and this time Zerul could see that it was him laughing. "Oh well i wonder why you dont see anyone else...oh wait its because I am you!"
He looks back at the fire and sees some police coming towards the docks. He quickly darts into a nearby boat. he fiddles with the primitive controls until the boat finally started to move. It was attached to the dock by a rope. wanting to escape he quickly cuts the rope. The boat lurches forward towards the ocean. The burst of speed knocked him down but he catches himself before he could fall off the boat. Returning to the wheel.
He rode in silence trying to figure out what had happened. how it all went spiraling out of control. "You know your not alone in here. you can ask a few questions maybe i can help you with the answers."
He looks at the mirror in the cabin. "Quiet you I didn't want to cause any harm to anyone. how do i even know if your actions have caused permanent damage!"
He laughs. "Permanate damage? your cut off one of there arms. im sure you did far more damage than me."
He goes quiet and just thinks on what to do next. "if it means anything. I heard a name before we woke up in that cliff. It was Zerul. Think its our name?" He sighs. "Its the only thing we have so far."
about 4 hours into the trip the boat's engine explodes and he was now adrift. “Could this day get any worse.”
Suddenly it starts to rain. “HAHAHAHAHA just had to open your mouth did you!”
He got angry and punched the steering wheel breaking it. “SHUT UP! You are the last person i need right now!”
The laughter continues. “Well you just broke the steering wheel so good luck on steering this vessel.”
He sighs and watches out the front of the window as the waves got rougher. Every now and then he could spot a strange structure in the distance. It looked like a statue of some kind with a lighthouse above it. Every time he could see it he was closer to it. After a few minutes of rough seas the boat rides a really rough wave crashing into the rockface.
Not wanting to stay on the boat he quickly jumps off of it just as the next wave crushes what remained of the ship. Wanting to seek shelter he looks around and spots a place to stay at under the statue while the storm rages. He dashes inside before catching his breath. The room wasn't very large there was a door but upon examining it he couldn't find a way to open it.
Its then he notices the thing in the center. wondering what it was he leans in and examines it. it looked like nothing more than a pedestal. He sighs and goes to lay down in the corner of the room trying to wrap his head around what had happened.
