《Star Ocean》Chapter 3: Hero in the Egg
Advertisement
I was floating, and I say floating, because I couldn't figure out my body positioning. I couldn't even see my legs or any of my body parts!
There is a white space in front of me. Nothing but sheer whiteness. No corners, no angles, nothing to tell me the size of the space I was in. I felt so infinitesimaly small compared to the endless white.
I don't know how much time has past since I've been here. I've been wondering; If I'm conceous than my Interplanetary Travel Pod, or ITP, should have woke me up....am I dead?
No, I don't think so; Religion has been proven false soon after we developed space travel so what is-
(I WELCOME YOU..)
What?
The frightening voice bled me out of my deep though. All of my senses were at their limits; it was as if I was being crushed, no, overwhelmed.
W-What in the world.....
As I looked up, I became wide eyed...
Like a drop of ink invading the crystalline pure water, it decended, becoming more vast by the second. I shudder; realising that it-what ever this was, engulfed the very space that made me feel my own insignificance.
(CHILD...AMONG MY ENDLESS BOREDOM, YOU ARE THE ONLY INTRESTING THING TO HAPPEN SINCE....LONGER THAN I CAN REMEMBER....WHAT ARE YOU....WHERE DO YOU COME FROM)
....
......
I was to afraid to say anything.
(.....)
Then I suddenly saw the endless darkness begin swirl. It was like an endless storm before me. The winds howled in a chorus of dying screams.
I-can't...
I was clutching my ears with all my mights. My eyes were shut in pain........then
..nothing
Huh? Everything is quiet?
I slowly opened my eyes to see the being before me. It was a small black....dragon? I though they only existed in fairy tales. I remember watching how to train your dragon when I was much yonger. It was a classic 2D movie, but I still enjoyed it. It was one of my favorite movies.

I took a closer look at its face;...c-cute..
"Toothless.." I said out loud.
(W-toothles?...No, I'm the Lord of the L-)
"I-IT TALKED!!!" I exclaimed pointing at the cute, black, talking dragon in front of me.
Why am I pointing....there is no one around to see. Wait, what happened to-
(Can you answer me child? Where do you come from?)
My eyes slowly widened as I slowly realised who this being was
(.....)
I noticed it still waiting.
I-uh, I am-
I quickly cut myself off, remembering that I am now a cadet for the Alliance. So this could be an enemy who intercepted my pod..
I am Chaos, special agent cadet 00595 from the Galactic Alliance.
(CHAOS 596....)
The black dragon gave a full smile;which, showed it full set of sharp teeth in the process.
Scary....
(So, Chaos...Yo say that you are from a place called 'Galactic Alliance')
N-no, I from earth....do you not know of Galactic Alliance?
Shit...this could be one of those type 0 civilizations? I can't be caught interacting with them.
There existed a scale called the Tier 4. civilization got rated from type 0 to type 4. Though no one has seen type 3 or type 4, they are theoretically possiblr. Humans and every race on the Galactic Council were type 2.
(I could see your thoughts, human...)
Shit.
Fine. There's no point in hiding it I guess.
"The scale is ment to classify races. Type 0 is a race that has not yet learned to harness the forces of their own planet. They use coal if that or other means of energy. Type 1 civilization can harness the energy of the their own planet. They can harness eartquakes, storms and tidlewaves. They can also create those things at will. Type 2 civilization is the civilization that can harness the power of their star. Nothing known to science can kill a type 2 civilization. Even if their own star were to explode, they would simply move to another."

I said that part with pride
(So you are from one if thus type 2 civilization? Good, good.) The dragon said while nodding his head in satisfaction
Wait. When did I give it a gender?
The dragon looked a bit annoyed when I thought that.
(I think you are miss understanding something. You underestimate my world. According to your scale, it should be type 1)
"Th-then you have computers?" I asked as excitement filled my voice
I could send a message out then-
(Computer? What are those)
..lying cute black dragon...
(He,he,he)
(You are an interesting one..As you are now, you will die instantly. I will lent you my strength...)
I collapsed on the ground as I began to writhe in pain as the ink like black smoke seeped into me
(Be greatfull, for this is my strength you are taking...)
------------------------------
I have been slumbering for longer than I remember. I have been on this plane longer than I can remember. I have been unchallenged for linger than I can remember. Everything happened longer than I can remember. My essence of self is slowly degrading. Slowly fading away until..........
Suddenly everything around me began to shake.
Who dares
I spread my essence, and there I found it. A small fragile light. So small and insignificant. So..
I noticed a feeling welling up in me that I had never felt. Compassion? I want to nurture this dying light?
Why is it dying? I noticed something inside. A child? He feels diffrent. Not of this place.
I've watched him for a little while now. He cryed, then he laughed. Now he has been quiet for a while
I decided to greet him.
"I welcome you" I said as nicely as I could
I saw him stager and fall. I wonder what's wrong with him?
"Child, among my endless boredom, you are the only intresting thing that happened since.....longer than I can remember. What are you? Where do you come from?"
I then noticed that the child before me was frightened out of his wits. Am I that scary?
I should change my form. A smaller version of my self.
As I began talking to him, the more fascinated I became. It was all so intresting. There are billions of worlds out there. Billions of places to explore. I just needed to leave with him. And the time he told me his name, that was truely suprising. I think the demons have a legend about him. Something like.
Chaos, hatched from the egg of light, he comes clad in darkness. The child of the land begs for his call and whim. He is the truely the most chosen and devine, for he was born from the same egg as the dragon itself.
Simething like that, I think
Strange prophecy. It's funny that it will be true. I will help him.
Though it drained some of my strength, it not much. That boys body couldn't handle much. But he should still have more than any child his age. The longer he will spent in my world, the stronger he will become.
Now all we have to wait for is the "Egg" to hatch
