Aphotic Halo

[Kris Destiny]

Aphotic Halo
Prolouge: Welcome to my nightmare.


Life is out of reach to those in pain
To the tortured minds beyond reality​

They say that love is a beauty that is better to be felt and lost then never felt at all. That it is better to feel the eternal ache that plagues the heart when the only one who can fill the inhuman hole has been washed away in the ever-changing tide called life. That it is better to slowly and painfully ebb into what most simple people will call insanity. Death. That it is better to be stung by loneliness and misery until it burns you alive completely from the inside out.

I do not.

The only difference between yin and yang
Never breaking the circle, never free​

They say that trust is a truly wonderful thing. A wonderful emotion that a human being is lucky to be graced with. That it is lucky to be able to be completely dependant on one another until eventually one gives way, leaving the other to fall with it. That it is lucky to be able to hand out their hearts and minds and souls and lives for better or for worse, knowing the potential consequences that might just be in store for them, only to be torn and ripped apart by guilt, grief, denial, shame, pride, hurt... Only to repeat it all over again at one point or another.

I do not.

Confusion scars the soul with a white hot gaze
Never knowing what to do​

They say that humans are the most intelligent creatures on this Earth. That they are superior in so many different ways that no force could possibly defeat them except a force created by their own species. That there is nothing that they can not answer with time, money, or determination on their side. They believe that they can just waltz in and take over with little or no effort. They believe that life gets simpler and simpler with each passing second that slowly ticks by day by day by day.

I do not.

No one escapes Destiny's raze
Of the life and order around you​

You want to know what else they say? That those who are scarred or hindered in any way deserve to die. That we are useless living beings who have no choice but to depend on someone else. That we are pathetic, weak individuals that are better off dead. Did you know we are more then likely thrown into the streets once we are of age? I was lucky. Did you know we have to hide in order to survive? The families that decide to keep us do well in that aspect. I still am lucky. No one suspects that I, myself, am different...

Well, except one...

Yet you are the exception to my fears
The rose that seems to hide a storm​

That boy truly was and will always be an idiot. He could have been outright killed for willingly sticking to me like glue. Who cares if I stopped him from drowning? Then again, I never really understood him. He was perfectly healthy, with no defects, with no hindrances, and yet he still chose to follow me, play with me, befriend me, help me... No other being has chosen to willingly help me for a kind and pure reason such as "because I just want to." No one had ever seen past my little problem. Not like him.

Not like him.

The joy of heart, the light, the clear
The innocence that fate will never scorn​

I highly doubt you know how happy he made me- makes me. Whenever I spotted him in the distance, I had, and still have, the sudden urge to smile and walk over to talk to him. I felt safe. Is that what love is? He was very similar to my family. Part of my family. Heh. I don't know if I trust him. I don't know if I find him an intelligent human. He is kind. He is thoughtful. He is selfless. Most people think differently. I do not even know if we are friends. But if I know one small thing that is completely true, it is this: He will never change.

Never.

You are too rare for your own good
Gripping perfection that life never should​

I may be deaf.

I may be mute.

But I am not stupid.

My name is Criscen Kalare...

Welcome to my nightmare.

Well, I hope you all didn't just die of boredom or something... Well, please leave a review! It will make me happy! Very happy! If you hate it, tell me why. I want to fix it! And please, please, I beg of you, don't spam. I update every week, maybe faster, if I finish the chapter faster than that. Which is rare. *laziness rulez*

Thanks for peaking in!

A lot of statements were pretty profoundly refuted by this narrator. That was a really good way to set up the suspense associated with wanting to find out more about this pokemon's life and experiences. Makes ya curious about the rest of the story in a very unique and effective way (definition of an awesome prologue). I really am interested in how you go about developing this character. Sounds like a story about restoring faith in humanity so far and i'd like to see how you tell it.

 

[BenJS]

Good, I like the way it flows. I don't think I can say much more until the story gets going though.

 

[Kris Destiny]

Wow. I got good feedback.

o.o

I really like you people now! I think...

Billy: Really? I didn't know that. *looks up refuted* Ah... Now I see. Thank you very much for your kind words! But... Criscen... `Tis a human. I didn't know Pokemon could have last names. Oops. But yes, its about restoring faith in humanity, but not to Criscen. And... I'm going to shut up now. Drop by again.

Ben: Flows? My work flows? All I was trying to do was make it easy to read. Or is that the same thing? Wait. Don't answer that one. Thank you! Come back so you can say something!

Bye!


PS: The chapter is half way done!
