Peace's Awakening.

You know I was actually fairly happy being dead. It was relaxing at the least. I had my time in the sun. I got to be important. I changed the world for the better and got my friends killed. I was done. I guess now I'm not done anymore. I am apparently back now. Sort of... I'm back now, but in another universe... One where I am in an abandoned tower filled with books and a bunch of floating stones that look very magical. If I had to take a guess I'd say Wizard's tower. Not much for me here I don't thi- No... What are you doing here?

"What? Is something wrong Champion?" Oh god you talk now? I gave you back! I want nothing to do with you anymore. No more of your evil soul stealing pocketwatch shenanigans!

"I don't... I chose this form as I believed it to be your weapon of choice..." I don't have a weapon of choice! I don't fight! I have no intention of killing anyone or anything ever again!

"That is fine... I am not meant for killing. I am The guardian of Peace and I will serve you as, The Champion of Peace," No killing? Then why do I need a weapon?

"Even a pacifist may need to defend themselves and a mage does need a focus to... er focus their powers," A focus... But I'm not a mage?

"Aren't you? Maybe you've just never tried..." The idea of wielding magic is appealing... Fine... Tell me about magic and let's see how this goes.

"Excellent. I will teach you all I can about magic and turn you into a proper mage, worthy of your title as Champion of Peace"

Love's Awakening

Things can always get better, but they can also always get worse. I died, I came back only to find out that everyone I cared about had died... Except then they came back... Then my ex boyfriend who was a horrific monstrosity died in front of me while I tried to save him and finally I got exiled from my universe by an evil god... However I do appear to have woken up in a rather nice bedroom. Classic storybook princess bedroom. Oh am I a princess? Is that possible?  

"Champion of Love, Catherine Higgins you are awake" It's Lisa and I guess... You're a talking quarterstaff?

"I am The Guardian of Love. I am your servant," That's cool. So, am I a princess suddenly or what?

"Er actually no this castle belonged to the old King and this was his daughters room. They are both dead now. They died when the evil wizard's forces attacked the castle. This place is just an empty place filled with ghosts now," Oh... Well that sucks... Wait... Why did The Evil Wizard just leave the castle alone? That seems like a waste...

"Who knows?" Well this place is mine now. I declare myself Queen of this castle. Now let's go check out my new home...   

Loyalty's Awakening

Something always has to go wrong. Every time things look like they're settling down something goes wrong and changes things. I'm in a field. It's snowing, it's beautiful. It's also not where I belong. I can tell this isn't my world. I can tell because the snow doesn't carry his voice. In my world I could hear him. Always. Here the snow is dead... lifeless I suppose would be more correct. There is no Cold Boy here. I suppose that's a good thing for whoever lives here, but not for me. Although I cannot hear his voice I do hear a voice. There is a wand here. Laying on a small pedestal of ice. I can hear it speaking to me.

"Champion of Loyalty, Megan Jilees. I am The guardian of Loyalty, I will be your servant," I have a servant? How interesting? Well... I suppose if this world doesn't have a Cold Boy I could fulfill that role. Well... I suppose I would be the cold girl...

"Champion... What are you talking about?" It is not your business to ask questions, servant. It is your business to serve me. Show me the way to those who are lost and alone... I will end their loneliness.

"As you command, Champion."

Bravery's Awakening.

Oh god I'm drowning! Surface! Where's the damn surface! Hah ah... Feels good to breath... Okay... So I'm in a swamp... That's... Lovely. Alright so find my way back to civilization, find Jack, punch Jack. Good plan, Nate, thanks Nate, I thought so too. 

There is a sword sticking out of a stone here... Just gonna ignore that...

"Wait champion! Don't leave me behind!" Talking sword... Yep definitely ignoring that...

"Oh but... Champion I'm supposed to accompany you and help you. Besides you'll need a weapon..." Never needed a weapon before and don't plan to start using one now. Especially not a suspicious talking one.

"But it's my job to help you Champion!" Well I'm not using a sword... I suppose I could just bring you with me... Why do you keep calling me champion anyway?

"Because you, Nathan Jilees are the chosen Champion of Bravery and I am The Guardian of Bravery, your humble servant. Ready to assist you on your quest!" Woah woah woah! The name is The Muffin Man, got it? Also a quest huh? I like quests... I mean I get to hurt people on a quest right?

"Well... Yes I suppose you will be fighting the minions of evil..." Perfect! Too bad you're a sword... 

"Well actually I can be any weapon you please..." I don't use any weapons, but my fists...

"What about just a ring then?" Yeah sure... So where's the nearest city?

"That way!" ... Don't ever move my hand without my permission again.

"... Sorry champion"    

Hope's Awakening.

My hand closes on sand. I can't feel my face, but that's normal. I don't seem to have my mask either though which is less normal... What do I remember?... Dying mostly. Repeatedly in fact... I remember... The Archangel... Bastard took my body for a Joyride and got me killed again and then... Static? That's weird... I've never experienced mind static before. Oh right I remember now I got possessed by a God of Chaos and basically tried to destroy the world. Ahh fun times... I think I died again after that... No wait I didn't die... That bastard Jack pushed me into some kind of vortex... Tried to imprison Chaos and me. Not sure what happened to Chaos, but I don't think I'm in prison. Though I also can't currently see anything, so hard to tell. I hear waves though, so probably a beach. How many prisons have beaches? I don't actually know the answer to that question and I don't think I'll be able to get an answer. Okay... So, I'm blind again which sucks, but that doesn't mean I'm helpless. Not me. Stand up and let's feel our way around. 

Or let's trip on something in the sand and fall over... that works too. Hmm... Is this my machete? Did I have my machete before? 

"Champion!" oh god I'm hearing voices in my head.

"Traveler from another realm, Sergei Korchaviv, you have been chosen as a Champion of this realm. We bestow upon you The Machete of Hope!" Machete of Hope? Yeah... Sure that sounds legit to me. Who are you?

"I am the guardian of hope and I am here to serve you, The Champion of Hope on your mighty quest," Right... Where are you?

"I am in the machete," Got it... Well... I have a question... Can you see?

"I have awareness of my surroundings, but I don't technically s-" Yeah yeah... Don't care how it actually works. Are you capable of letting me... Have awareness of my surroundings through you?

"Yes I can," Awesome! Ah... There we go... I can see again... Yep I was right. This is a beach. Nice beach too. Definitely doesn't look like a prison... Er... There are two suns in the sky... Is that normal?

"Yes" Okay well this is a different realm... So, you mentioned a quest... What do I need to do?

"To start with if you head away from the beach you should find a small town. The people there could use your help. They are weak and fearful and threatened by foul creatures that raid their town in the night,"

Weak and fearful, huh? Well that sounds fun...

"Champion?"

Nothing let us go... "Help" these poor people.
