Cold. For as long as it could go back, the omnipresence of this reality, this place. [i]There was never anything before, was there?[/i] Cold. The feeling was overpowering, enveloping. Quiet waves of nothing shrouded time, a void, a sea of eternity. Cold. Drifting between what was and is and would be. Truly nothing. Shadows of dreams danced vaguely in front of everything, visions of something to be forgotten. [i]What was this? How long had it flowed upon this current?[/i] Cold. Weariness beckoned for this peace, willfulness shattered upon the weight of this presence. Alone. [i]No.[/i] The thought came like a thunderclap. [i]There was. [/i] The dreams moved violently, like..like clouds in a storm. A storm, there had been a storm. A great storm building with such violence. It passed, all had been still. Cold. It had been then, after the storm, the cold, this place. No light had ever passed through it, what had become. Light. There had been light, so much. It was here, just now, growing, breaking the veil, pushing towards me. [i]Me.[/i] I am or I was. [i]Where is this place? [/i] Warmth. I feel it. Binding me, tearing me from the current. [i]Light.[/i] To the Reader: My good reader, this is the beginning of story. Each day from now through August I will be posting a continuation of this story. I will check the thread at the end of each day and will select one of you to write my next post about. Simply give me a name for your character, their class, and your weapon of choice. From there, on the following day, I will post the next segment, a short story written about your Guardian. The posts will be ordered numerically, with the next post being designated as Reborn: Part 1. Submission for your character will end at 12:00 AM EST. We should all have our own story. What will be yours? Edit- Some of you asked for a clan that we could all be apart of. I have created a group entitled: Gravity of Voice. After Part 8-Part 10 of the Reborn Story Line is complete, which will be posted here as the others have, I will be moving all continuations to the Group Forum (Gravity of Voice) for your convenience. Any and all related topics to Reborn will be posted there after Part 10 is complete. I thank you all for reading these stories and your encouraging words. As of now we are small and there is much to be done. In order for these Continuations to be a reality, I humbly ask that you spread the word of their creation, so that others may become invested as well. Once again, I thank you all for making this possible through your time and opinions and I hope to continue writing your stories. -ARC4460
