New Home?

..."LIMBO? what does that mean? Where am I? What is this place? Is this not after life?" I asked to myself. It was too dark to see even with a flash light. If I go silent I could hear the winds blowing and the water rushing. I decided to march forward, it was the only thing I could do. There was not a single soul who could show me the way where I need to go....

...After walking a little bit, I noticed that time wasn't progressing like normal... everything seems to be...very calm. Then, I stumble upon a big oak tree. It looked like someone was trying to burn it down. When I got closer to the tree, it had a door...but it was locked. ...

...Suddenly something echoed in mind,...

..."Only the one with the key shall enter, forcing your way through shall put you in grieve danger." ...

...I was sick of people telling me what to do, always ordering me around. I broke the burnt door and set my foot inside... ...

...As I gaze forward, Everything around me was starting to turn into ashes,...

...My ears started to ring, I heard people screaming in agony. It felt like my organs were bursting out of my body!......

..."...what...happened...?" ...

...I got myself off the ground,I looked around, I am in a cave. Then I see......

...A half-human half-crow shaped figure leaning against the wall,at a closer look he was also wearing a ninja outfit? Who is this guy? I was shocked but then I thought, at a place like this stuff like that might be normal. He is mumbling,...

..."Why?...why?...WHY?!,They are supposed be our ENEMY. Why did I SAVED him?!" Then he notices me, he fixes his posture and greets me....

???:"Ah, you're finally awake...are you hurt anywhere?"

Me:"...No,Thanks for saving me,Mr?"

???:"Call me Kanzo, and no need to thank me."

Me:"...Ayato"

Kanzo:"Why didn't you listened to what he said?"

Me:"Who?..."

Kanzo:"The great oak tree!, The source of the balance in this world!"

Me:"...I don't like people ordering me around."

Kanzo:"Do you have any IDEA of what you just DID?! You saw the tree was burnt down and you STILL went inside?!"

Me:"Why do YOU care if something happens to me? Nobody cares...why do YOU care...you don't even know me..."

Kanzo:"...I...it doesn't matter. what matters is that, you're safe now."(why did I save him, like I said humans are suppose to be our enemies...is it because...no. it can't be...)

Me:"...Leave me alone."

Kanzo:"wha-"

Me:"I said leave me alone!!!"

Kanzo:"Where are you going? Stay here. With the balance broken the monsters are set free, you can't defeat them on your own."

Me:"Don't tell me what to do!"

Me:"*tch* naive kid."

...As I was on my way to the old oak tree,I felt a chill run down my spine. I tried to convince myself that it's probably nothing. Bushes started rustling, I hear footsteps getting closer. Alright, alright, there is definitely something chasing me. I ran as fast as I could trying to reach the oak tree before 'they' reach me. Wait the oak tree is not here anymore, piles of ashes on the ground that's all there was. So,this is what he meant by 'balance broken',it's all my fault again. I feel a presence behind me I was too scared to move, I could feel his breath on my neck. I should have listened to Kanzo, welp looks like I am done here. The creature pierced his weapon trough me I felt the pain going through my entire body...it...was... unbearable...I felt my heart beat...slowing...down...I......

...screamed...but...noone... Heard....

.........

.........

..."You are not allowed to die yet,brat."...

...With a blink of an eye, he sliced the monster apart...blood splattered everywhere. "Come on,let's treat those wound of yours." ...

Me:"Ouch...sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have done that."

Kanzo:"It's okay, It's going to sting a little but it's better than being dead all over again."

Me:"What do you mean?"

Kanzo:"Have you ever thought about what 'Limbo' means? It's a place between life and death. If you die here you can consider hell your new home."

Me:"oh..."

Kanzo:"But if you survived you can either choose to go to heaven or reborn as yourself and continue where you left by being twice as strong than before."

Me: (twice as strong? what does he mean by that...how does he know about all of this?)
