Dawn Of Twilight

Opening my hazy eyes a little tremor ran through me, as I looked around the bright white room before I slightly recoiled at the intensity of the room brightness.

"Where...?" Was all I could summon for thought in my head, and what resonated out of my dried sore throat which felt like it had been lined with sandpaper. Moving my head around I saw my body, but something was amiss.

I was covered in red liquids, blood!

But weird I wasn't panicking just astonished, as I soon found out why as the memories flooded into my head, explaining why I wasn't freaking out or probably making a scene.

Ambushed at the front entrance of a bank, stabbed/beaten by a gang multiple times before being shot at the legs so many times. I had broken so many bones that it was easier to count the bones, that weren't broken in my body.

Fortunately, my neck and my skull were a bit away from snapping and popping like a pop can.

So why wasn't I panicking? Because deep down I already knew I wasn't going to survive, or putting it straight I knew I was toast.

Which my brain suppressed and processed the memories slowly enough to protect the little sanity I had left.

The rag clothes full of stabbed holes miraculously knit themselves back, the same way my body was doing as no more blood came off my damaged body.

Thinking this was me on the verge of insanity, I chuckled at myself before realizing I felt great with vigor once again.

Must have been me going into shock, right?

That was what I thought before a voice resonated loud enough to grab my attention.

"Sorry about that, my child, getting authorization to heal newcomers takes a bit of time" A soothing voice, almost like a melodic rhythm spoke out with an apologetic tone to it, "But now that you're healed, please follow the line, okay?"

I shifted my eyes, looking over at the figure that spoke to me. My vision went blurred for a moment, as to not being able to make sense of the thing in front of me. Looking at the room, everything else was in perfect clarity except the figure.

So blurry to point that I couldn't make out its appearance. It was like looking at something, or someone in the corners of your eyes, on the edge of your peripheral vision, you just can't make sense of it.

As if sensing my utter confusion at his lack of discerned figure, the being flickered like a broken lantern before speaking once again.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot show you my form. It may sound rude but you wouldn't be able to comprehend, and in the end, it would drive you to lunacy." For a second I felt annoyed, it's would think so lowly of me. But soon I calmed down hearing its magical soothing voice, the voice didn't sound like it was telling me a lie, nor did it sound like it was hiding something.

So along with the thoughts of helplessness, I just nodded my head before speaking, "If you say so, I guess I don't have any choice than to believe you. Anyway, can you please explain to me why I'm here? I'm pretty sure I just died, and there's a blurry figure in front of me!

So am I in the afterlife or something? Am I about to get reincarnated? Am I going to hell? Are you God? are you an Angel? Or are you the de...?"

The moment I started speaking out words, questions just kept blurting themselves out of my mouth, that I had little time to stop myself.

A sharp ringing sound filled my head before I could finish my last question. Opening my eyes the scenery in front of me had changed again.

The moment the ringing sound disappeared, I could see a vast space filled with whiteness but different from the previous one I had seen, this one had a colossal gate in front of me.

Loss in my amazement, I found myself completely flustered at my sudden change of environment and the colossal gate with an engineering mechanism that was bigger than anything I have ever seen or come across in my entire life.

Not only its size but the glowing golden runes that were like chains were also connected to the engineering mechanism colossal gate forming an intricacy set in style.

However, that wasn't the only amazing but also a strange thing. My eyes swept the surrounding from left to right, as it seemingly appears there were countless numbers of inches nȧkėd babies of various gender popping out from one place to another.

Everyone appeared the same way, suprisingly this also included myself. As I looked at my tiny body still overwhelmed while I thoroughly examining its features, of harmonious delicate soft hands and exquisite tender baby skin. Pure and untainted of anything.

"Children please move, and follow the line!"

Slightly turning over to look, what I saw was a man figure with a beast head and four huge wings. It's wore a bright white robe and its wings resonated in an exaggerated flashy rune pattern in milky-white. Its mane and muzzle had hairs of a lion but this time golden, only what seemed visible was its piercing golden gaze that ran a shiver down my spine.

"Child, follow the line," The lion man said, in a low voice yet it sounded more like a loud growl to me.

Out of fright, my little figure jumped, but it seemed like I was rather floating than walking"What happening?"

Looking over at all the babies, they all looked dazed or flustered as well. As though unaware of what was happening, all they seem to know was that we were being ordered to move towards the colossal gate.

It didn't take long before we arrived in front of the colossal gate, looking from its feet there were figures with huge wings and bright golden faces as well.

At the center of the colossal gate, I saw the being that made my vision blurred. I felt like I was looking at a humongous person, despite its size being an ant in comparison to the colossal gate.

"Hmmm, now where do I start..." The being thought for a few seconds before speaking again, "Yes, Children welcome to the Crossworld" The being said, not moving its lips but its voice was miraculously enhanced and loud.

"You are here, at the transportation realm.

Use your time wisely. I hope all of you succeed in whatever world I chose and your wishes"

After the being finished speaking, he waved his hands as I grunted from a burning sensation, with which I heard some babies shriek as the pain was like being stamped by a hot iron.

In my palm, was a crescent Moon shaded with black and white, making my head buzz a bit.

A few seconds later, the burning sensation stopped so did the buzz. Before my ears piqued from the murmurs around me.

"Transportation realm?" Said a random fat chubby baby, his voice was audible enough but didn't sound like babble words I expected babies should use, cause I didn't hear the baby say Gugu-gaga?

So I wonder who the hell came up with that?

or was it because am also a baby?

Realizing something new, that we could all talk. I turned around to asked the other baby what he could remember before a feminine voice spoke inside our heads.

"Children, please gather around according to your world. Focus your mind on the symbol on your palm"

Though it was a strange request to a few stubborn babies, it wouldn't hurt trying right? Would it? As soon as I did so, I felt something crawl up within my body and a symbol on my palm lit up like some sort of Zuma game and showed various words on mid-air.

[Baby Tobi]

[Male, unborn]

[World - Originals]

[Ticket - 19]

Everything appeared to be reverie and unreal no matter how much I thought about it, looking at the floating words it was like a mix of a movie baby boss and system in novels I had seen before and had always wanted. I didn't know the afterlife would be this cool, this feeling was just giving me the motivation to die again.

Getting to thinking about it? I wonder about my new Originals. What ability would I get...

Thinking about it...

Gave me joy and excitement, which left me filled with anticipation. But then I felt the whole world was shuddering so fiercely as though an earthquake, the atmosphere of the babies became tensed when strange numerous pillars of white light struck down like thuds of lightning on several babies. Including myself.

It was so bright, I felt my eyes become void of light, I had gone blind!
